This thread really isn't about "rates"...I do find the multi-hour structure fascinating.
Here is an example of an outcall rate structure I just saw:
1 HOUR $400
90 MINUTES $550
2 HOURS $700
3 HOURS $1,000
5 HOUR DINNER DATE $1,600
12 HOUR OVERNIGHT (min 5 hrs rest) $2,5000

IMO these are well thought out rates...maybe the 5 HOUR DINNER should be $1,500

I do find it interesting that most ladies charge the same for the second our as they charge for the first. One would think the second hour would be discounted but I can see where the lady might have to work harder during hour 2 in order to get that last cup served

From the hobbyist standpoint, I truly appreciate the discounted second hour. It tells me, in part, that this is a lady who finds value in making the kind of connections that are difficult to make in a one hour session.  I have always assumed that the benefit was mutual.  From a time management standpoint, I would imagine that these ladies prefer one 2 hour session to two 1 hour sessions.  Getting ready for a session involves time, labor, and overhead...yes, in my opinion, basic economic principles definitely apply.  But, I also believe human nature comes into play.  Many of the  confident ,educated professional women in this business are comfortable meeting a hobbyist because they do proper screening and know that multiple hours will not be "awkward" because, quite simply, there will be a professional and personal match...and, hopefully, great sex.  I think the rate structure that you find well thought out illustrates this and probably comes from a well reviewed and respected lady

I charge the MOST for sex only (in room dates). Guys who actually take the time to take me to dinner or let me cook for them, will always be given a discount above the guys who JUST insist on an acrobatic monkey 'session.'  I charge the most for things that wear me out the most... it's not rocket science. Though I have an 'average' rate for overnights, that changes based on demand. I have gone down 1000 dollars to spend time with someone who was less demanding and have gone up on someone who was plain crazy in what he wanted... I did not see the latter guy, but did quote an outlandish rate I was sure he would never pay lol.

I appreciate the hobbyist view on the rates.  For the most part, mine are similar and I do charge less for the second hour and every hour after the first.  When discussing rates, we need to keep in mind that they aren't based solely on the time we're spending with you. Some of the factors mine are based on are advertising, internet and phone, clothes, makeup, nails, testing, travel, website memberships, screening, etc

Kinda makes you wonder

Are those ladies who charge MORE (on a per hour basis) for an extra half hour than for the first.

Speaking solely for myself, I enjoy 90 minute and two-hour sessions (when I can afford them) more than a simple hour long in-and-out. I am not a kid anymore, and it is a lot more fun to talk for a bit after the first cup rather than immediately try for the second. I have found that the ladies are appreciative of that as well.

But for example, there is a well known and highly-reviewed asian service where the first hour is $250, and the next half hour is $200. I can understand keeping the rate on a pro-rate basis ($375 for 90 minutes in this example), but where is the logic in jacking up the rate so much for the additional half hour?

Don't get me wrong. I encourage these ladies to charge all that the traffic will bear. I am never going to say that they should not be able to set their own rates, or the amount they charge is unreasonable. But it seems a rate structure of that sort encourages high volume, possibly at the expense of added downtime that the provide in question could spend relaxing, talking, etc, while still earning some dough.

Ladies, your thoughts?

 

Belong to ladies (no names this time) who use their rate discount structure to drive a preferred length date.  That preferred date is by no means "shorter."  The girls I am thinking of choose the date lengths they like best.   Some "clock free" dates I have I know of are only incrementally more expensive than shorter dates.

some ladies do not enjoy 90min or 2hr sessions, those are generally the ones that charge more for added time because they only like 1hr or less to get them in and out.  This is to discourage longer sessions.  

Personally I prefer longer sessions over shorter ones and discount accordingly based on how well I know you.  However the longer you book the less you pay with me, because I appreciate the more personal nature of this industry

If a gal charges say 400 an hour, the 90 min. rate would not be above 600. At a discount, 5 or 550 makes sense. If she charges 400 an hour then 700 for 90 min. that's a bit cray cray because half of 400 is only 200 so each half hour is 200.

I noticed no one had congratulated you yet. Seriously dude, thank you for recognizing that there's more than shits and giggles going into it. Life, she can be a bitch no matter what.  

But yeah. 1st and 2nd hour? Why discount? In that case for another 30 mins she could have made $50-100 more. Some call it agency/stripper mentality like it's stupid, but it's not.  

After that? Discount away girl. Before that why bother? Ya know?  

You got it you don't need us

They discount because often they DON'T have to work as hard.  The guy is tired or not able to recover and is content just talking or relaxing.  It is called sunken cost, idiot.  The room & travel expenses are already paid, so you maximize profit from every john.  Believe it or not, johns do not grow on trees.  

You have now exhibited the inability to read basic sentences with any sort of comprehension whatsoever.  In addition, you know next to nothing about marketing, economics, and human behavior.  Wait, you could not possibly be a john or even a man.......hahaaha it all makes sense now.  No wonder you just go around pretending to 'help' hookers....you ARE one.  Nice try lady, and I use that term very loosely.  Haha loosely, pun not intended.
