Just wondering what any fellow's/ladies thoughts were on the subject:

Are you asking why you aren't getting as many dates as you would like?
Or are you just venting and looking for validation that guys are too cheap to pay
for a room?

Hi Foxy,

I want to leave as few footprints as possible, and renting a hotel room is outside my comfort zone, esp. when I will only be there two hours.  It also adds time required, with getting the room, getting you into the room and settled, then getting out of the room.  Since I play using vacation time from work hours, that's another downside.  I prefer to have the lady already waiting there, so I can just walk in and start the two hours of fun.

I am getting dates... It's just the calls, I guess that were the concern-
Wondering why it felt like I was being steered towards, "You should have an incall."

Thanks for the kind words. I am taking your advise into consideration as well. I appreciate the feedback.

Thankyou for your reply also.
Sometimes I suppose, I let the few who question my $150/hr attack my confidence...?
I do not think $150/$200/hr is unreasonable. I suppose I am hearing the whining of clients used to BP girls/prices lol

You don't live in an area that gets a lot of travelling businessmen and you can't/won't entertain at your place (me either). For a lot of the local guys in the Raleigh area, this is a deal breaker as well.

What I do is offer limited incall and until I changed my rate structure  just a tad, (and stayed Stephanie, lol) I only did incall with a minimum booking of 1.5 hours and that was to recoup some of the $$ for the hotel.  Now my incall when I'm here in the Triangle area is 2 hrs. Do some take a pass, yes.

My free advice is to have a minimum time booked that is more than your hourly rate. That way, even if they are paying more they are getting more time.

Hope this makes sense!

xoxo,

Steph

You know.... you took the words out of my mouth with the first line....
I read somewhere once, that this is a hobby for men who can afford it. Like a fine wine,
one would not expect it to be CHEAP.  

Steph,
Thanks for your candor. It is very much appreciated.
I do understand what you are explaining.  
More time for a higher minimum.
I do see how some will pass, I also know that a lot of serious hobbiest enjoy more time for parlaying.
The ones who are wham-bam are not my type either...
That would be a good way to kill two birds with one stone.  
Since I don't do "quick visits" *snicker*

a decent hotel is at least 100 and what if one of them flakes on you? tell them you offer incall for 100 more but if you don't get it upfront, they can still fuck you by not showing up. you would be better tourng a few tmes a month and having a hotel ready than trying to do it per guy at that rate. sorry but thats nothing. blow and go girls can make that.

Due to my family obligations, touring is not really an option.  
That is why I was debating an incall.
Thx for the input

makes it sound like I believe I speak for everbody, which of course I don't. And just FYI, if anything I said sounded like criticism... it wasn't

Since you asked...

I know this is a few days behind, but I'll add in my opinion in hopes it helps.  The lack of incall is definitely a deal breaker for me for reasons similar to those mentions by other gents already - the explanation to other half.  If you need to increase the rate for quality to cover the expense, I think respectable people understand that, and if they don't, you certainly can find better, more reasonable people to spend quality time with.  I know for a fact you were on my radar for your rate but the lack of incall kept me from calling.  If that changes, please send me a PM so we can meet! You seem like a very nice individual that I would like to meet sometime.

 I read somewhere once, that this is a hobby for men who can afford it. Like a fine wine,

 I was trained in other jobs for customer service & technical troubleshooting. I do my absolute best to cater to my clients, even above the point of "minimum expectancy." I try to keep em happy  
   
 I am very grateful for what I have in life; I'm in a position that hobbying gives me a cushion-  
 I will have a roof over my head with or without this. I don't see a lot of guys also given my living in Bumfuct, but I have a few good ones. Our time almost always goes way, way over, as I am not in a rush. I try to book while my kiddie is in school. Otherwise, maybe once or twice a week (on a good week lol) I have an appointment.  
   
 Considering who & how I am, minus the drama, touch of girl-net-door-turned-milf, punctually fresh & moist,& ready to play... haha, seriously...  
 Thanks, maybe I needed a reminder of how many "Providers Gone Wrong/Wild" threads I have read....  
  Maybe I should raise mine to $200.... That would relieve the incall issue difference.

  I'm not going to begin to tell you how to price your services, but anyone whining about $200 for FS from an experienced, attractive, established and well-reviewed lady is not someone you want for a client.  I've been burned on BP with bait and switches, no shows, crack whores (I will use that word here) and often felt far from safe.  BP girls are a very mixed lot.  You may find a gem now and again, but you'll have to work through a lot of dirt and mud to find her.  
     
  It's worth it to me to check TER reviews and move up a notch from there.  I'm too old to put up with her being 30 minutes late for the appointment, then saying "You'd better hurry, I've got a 2:30 coming soon."    
     
  I refuse to apologize for being an optimist and expecting professionalism, punctuality, good hygiene, some personal interaction with the woman I'm with.  I don't want to be #17 in today's semen donation line.  If I just needed a warm hole, I'd buy a sheep.  If you're offering a better service than the average BP girl, your price can reflect that.

Thankyou for your feedback.

 As for comments about things like hobby being for men who can afford it, I can certainly appreciate the sentiment and attitude afforded with that.  However, remember there are all walks of life on this earth and even the best of us experience the same troubled economies that the rest of country does.  I'm certainly not advocating anyone being a charity case, please don't misunderstand me, but I AM saying that I know I personally appreciate a provider who keeps her rates affordable as I'm not someone who makes a six figure income, even with both incomes combined.  For what it's worth, thanks for opening the dialogue though! Hope to meet you some day.
