Whenever I schedule something like a 1 hour appointment with any of the incredible women I have met here I figure to spend 3+ hours of my day committed to it.
I groom and bath meticulously, I know one woman who already responded in this thread that appreciates a clean man who doesn't throw on cologne. This can take up to 30-45 minutes (Shaving certain portions of your anatomy, carefully, takes time!).
I live about 20-30 minutes from their in-call locations without considering traffic. I am one of those people who respect other peoples time, and believe being early is much better than being late. (However! That does not give me the right to bother the lady earlier than I am scheduled.) I'll spend 5-10 minutes dinking around, checking e-mail, googling something interesting until said time comes. I'd do the same thing for a business meeting or even simply meeting friends, why shouldn't I extend her the same courtesy?
And after this incredible experience I was fortunate to share with someone I find interesting and wish to spend time with I face my commute home. Again figuring 20-30 minutes without traffic.
Now for me, this is fun time. For the lady in question this is her livelihood. You can get into maximizing call volume and fast turn around = more customers and more profit but I simply don't care.
But it does illustrate why a provider who has an in-call location would charge more. She would have to do all those things for me. Limit her clientele basis by a factor of 2-3 in order to see me, then show up with road rage whilst simultaneously trying to be sexy for me. AND still have to factor into her budgeting providing for the, now irrelevant, but still expensive, in-call location.
I would much prefer to spend my time getting ready for someone as mind blowingly awesome as Portia, meeting her at her in-call with her happy and in good mood, HAVE HER UTTERLY DESTROY ME! and then muse happily while driving home.
