I think I know the correct anwser but here goes: I gentlemen makes a date with a providor for 1 or 2 hours of fun time.  If he were to ask her for "dinner and a show" would/should be the additional charges above and beyond the entertainment.  Other words, is the clock still on?  I think if my date and I had a great time together, shared some laughes and hit it off, If I picked up all the expenses of the dinner show combo that should be enough...i expect to lose this one by a large majority as we are not in high school anymore...but If not a 100% full hourly rate, a flat charge of $100 or so should work.  What hard working lady wouldn't want to be wined, dined and entertained,  Your Thoughts

is probably not going to happen in Vegas.

I can say that I have had a couple ladies go out for dinner with me afterwards, but it is the exception.  And those that I've seen before may do a reduced rate for dinner and a show.

I know that I would be more inclined to see someone more often if she did something like that, so it could be a win-win.

A hard working lady who needs to pay her bills by going to the next appointment, or to clean her house, or to study for a class she is taking in college, or to get back home so she can send the babysitter she is paying for home, and so on. Heck, maybe she's even allergic to sulfites, or someone who's got an unusual diet where it's hard to find good food for it on the Strip, plus she finds Cirque de Soleil boring to watch for the 23rd time.

A provider's time is money for her. It's kind of presumptuous to expect her to hand it out for free- and just because you had a great session with someone who has a good bedside manner doesn't mean you can assume you're Best Friends Forever, you know?

Dude, I agree, but this is a few hours of fantasy and not a dating service...I too wish you could pay different rates for different services....Sign me up for that !!  But as discussed above these girls are in this to make a living and not be wined and dined...Pick ladies that have reasonable 3-5 hour rates and take them out....I know a few on TER that even do have 3-4 dinner date specials that are very reasonable, but they are the exception and not the rule...Does your attorney or CPA give you a discount on the screw ??  !! And for all you one pop guys, try this....Book 3-4 hours...Pop once for an appetizer, go out to dinner, and pop again for dessert....Makes for a real nice evening...

I have to takes on this subject.  I am not trying to seem jaded or caddy when stating these facts, just pointing out a few things.

1) Most of us women discount our rates, the longer you book the less you pay.  We do this because we don't expect all four hours to be spent in a room and so that you gentlemen have the option of doing dinner and a show.  I have a lot of great people that I see and if I went to dinner with even half of them, it might be construed as "I can book an hour and hang out for 2-3 extra hours off the clock, so why book anymore time?"  

And that brings me to point number 2)  We have gentlemen that are seasoned hobbyist or even noobs, that are more than willing to book 3-4hr appts with no negotiation, haggling or complaining, because they intend to do a dinner/show/play date.  How fair would it be if "Tom" booked a four hour for this reason, but "Dick" only booked one hr and got the show and dinner for free?  Say their mutual friend "Harry" knew that "Tom" paid for the four hours but "Dick" only paid for one, yet got 4.  Say he told "Tom".  How would you feel knowing you had to pay full rate for something that someone else is getting for free?  Not very good I would think.

This is how we make a living.  A lot of us do more than just escort, so like boneboybob stated, we might need to study, come home and let our babysitter go home, or simply have another date.  I don't want to sound rude once again saying this, but we provide a fantasy, not a dating service babe.  We can feed ourselves so buying us dinner is a sweet gesture but not something we wouldn't do anyways.  

Once again, we discount our rate considerably with the more hours you book so we can engage in things such as dinner, shows, sightseeing, gondola rides etc.

Ok,I may be the exception rather than the rule.  First, typically when I am in LV, I do book 3 or 4 hour dates at a minimum at full or close to full rate.  On occasion, I will ask for dinner "off the clock" if I think I will click with the lady.  And obviously, the dinner can run up to 300-400 dollars depending on the restraunt.  I do not ask for more than that.  I negotiate this before the date so nobody is surprised.  I do expect the "paid" time to be in the room.  That does not mean that we are going at it for 4 hours.  Quite the contrary.  I just like to take things slow and have fun.  If the lady is not comfortable with this (either the longer time spent in the room or the "off the clock" time) then I will either shorten the date or see someone else.

Now, I do agree that if you are booking a 1 or 2 hour date as "paid" time and then want some off the clock time such as dinner that is a bit much.  It has happened to me in the past, but it was at the ladies suggestion.  But I do think you should book a longer date if you expect some "off the clock" time.

For some ladies, this model may not work.  And thats ok.  But, from my experience in this hobby (10 years and 75 or so ladies), the vast majority accept this and we have wonderful times.

Ok, go ahead and flame away.  LOL

Bond

I see it in my monthly bills and when retainer chip-ins are called for. At least he only charges on the 10th of hour as opposed to per minutes. Yikes
