Hello All and Happy Holidays,

Well, this has been a rough year for many. Y'all know the issues we are all facing these days.
I have been reading about donations and I want to know what you feel is a fair donation. Without ever running any specials. What do you feel is fair for an hour, and additional hours. Now is your chance to speak up. Please do so in a mature and respectful manner.

Happy Holidays,

Jina

My thoughts would be to keep your gift the same for the first hours, but back off a bit on second and multiple hours.  Or quote a dinner date so that the hobbyist is just donating for 2 hours of behind closed doors time.

This way you still get an appointment, but the gent feels like he's getting some value.  There's nothing like the anticipation of sitting down for dinner and getting to know each other.  And many of us guys enjoy those longer 2 hour sessions.

Just my opinion.  In the end, you've got to do what works for you.

Wow, that is such a loaded question.  There are many factors involved and as a result there is no right answer.

For someone who meets my idea of a fantasy lady, I might pay up to $500 even though my funds are somewhat limited.  Generally I look in the $250-300 range.  

That seems to be the going rate although many are asking for more.

There are more than a few top notch providers in Atlanta in the $250-300 range for an hour.

Somewhat of a loaded "no win" question.  Each lady needs to set her own price point depending on location (I expect to pay more in a large city like NYC, LA, or Boston), quality of service, and sometimes time of year.  Since Florida is a tourist state in the winter, there probably will not be as many specials in the winter time.

I also look at the rate breakdown.  It is nice when the 2-hr. rate is a  little less than two times the 1 hr. rate.  Similarly for dinner dates, and overnighters.

Also, it is nice when a lady grandfathers you in at the first rate you saw the lady.  I know one lady whose rate jumped 33% in less than 18 months without the offer of the previous rate.  Needless to say, I do not see her very much.  I was once taught to "nver say never".

My hobby funds are somewhat limited so I sometimes need to decide on the "most bang for the buck" (pun intended).

Happy hobbying to all along with Happy New Year.  

hey a guy can dream can't he!

AMEN, I agree & I generally stay in that range.

especially since I'm a grandfather ... now if Paris will see me for the rate she had then, mmmmm.....
