therefore there will be no GFE.

If you don't want to offer half hour sessions, then don't. For me as a client, I rarely even do one hour sessions. I am normally a two hour minimum guy. But there are a lot of guys out there who are perfectly happy with half hour. (and some ladies happy to provide it) Generally that would include no gfe, and no msog. For some guys it is just a bj, for some it is a quick bj, and then cfs a couple positions, one pop and they are out of there. If you do decide to offer it, then no, it shouldn't include everything you offer in a one hour session, and they should not expect that. Make sure they don't take advantage by paying the half hour rate and trying to stay longer because they cant finish. The half hour rate would normally be more than one half of the full hour rate too. For example 300/1 hour, 200/half hour.

"magic4u" is a TER poster who posts a lot on the gd board and a couple regional boards. He occasionally posts here on the newbie board too. From reading his posts, he tends to do a lot of half hour sessions. Maybe he will chime in here with some info. Or some other guys that enjoy half hour sessions might. Or maybe some providers that offer it. I believe my info above is mostly correct but, I am just passing on information I read (from some of those guys) because as I said, for myself, I am not into the short sessions at all, but different strokes, right. All kinds of people in this hobby with different wants, needs, and expectations

I stopped doing "massage"/half hour for the simple reason that I would get the worst reviews from those encounters (for the most part). "She's okay.. would not repeat" would be in the blurb, and then other guys who do not have VIP would read that and not know they had a limited session.

Regardless of how much a guy has to spend, most guys are really going to enjoy a full menu waaaaay more than a limited one. You may get screwed with a tepid review if you have a limited menu... and there just isn't time for a full menu in a half hour.

I refuse to see anyone who is trying to give themselves a discount. Personally, I think it's really offensive when you have a posted rate and then they ask if they can see you for less than that. I always say no.

I prefer a minimum of 1 hour. I will visit providers that offer 90 minute rates. Stop with the half hour rates, the type of people that you meet aren't all going to be gentle with you.

I don't offer 1/2 hour rates, but they are requested often. Since in my home base I typically only provide outcall it is really not worth it to do the drive, etc. In my visiting locations, where I provide incall, I have considered offering the service, however, would definitely provide a very, very basic menu (bj / hj) as I don't feel it is fair to offer the same services that my other clients book longer sessions to receive. The one area I can see it would be useful is for the local guys on their lunch hour where time is of the essence.

To each their own

1/2 hr requests

I don't bother with such requests for the following reasons:  typically, (I can't say always because I know some will argue) the guy will try to get as much as he may get in a full-time session for a fraction of the cost.Rip-off mentality.   Also, the chances of the session ending in precicely 30 min is pretty rare..so not only is he getting more from you but he is getting more time that he has paid for.
 Time is money. That's business. In the short time I've been doing this, I've realized that guys will try to get away with just about anything with absolutely NO regard for the ladies.
 I've gotten a few guys saying they only have a certain amount of money, or are unemployed, etc..and although I understand the economy is rough for many right now, does he think that perhaps is tough on US?! Does he think we're doing this for shits and giggles?! Personally, I have thousands of dollars of medical bills to pay..not to mention mortgage, rent, college loans, and just life in general! Please don't cry to me about YOUR issues when you have no consideration for MINE!  As I've said here before to people that complain about "how much" they have to pay us..if you want something that you can't afford then you can do what I do, you can go without!  I'd love to be driving the latest BMW but since I know I can't afford it, I stay out of the BMW dealership! I don't go and whine to the salesmen that I want one of his cars and he should offer it to me at my suggested price!!
I consider this a great form of disrespect and manipulation. Guys need to realize that they are expecting a lot from us and that THEY do not get to decide what our time and efforts are worth!

HH meetings are a great way to check out someone who i'm interested in without a major investment. I'll sometimes do a HH with an option to extend (if she's not booked).  I think it's a win-win situation for everyone.

I would never be interested in a half hour date - it would just be a rushed scenario in my opinion and I like to relax after the door closes and have some time to chat a bit and get comfortable before the fun begins. I would feel like I was playing a game of "beat the clock" and I don't do this for that kind of experiance.

I will be blunt, if one is going through economic troubles then that is something that limits luxuries in my opinion. This hobby is not like food and water, it is a luxury and if things are not going well with the old money flow then one must just go without for a while - tough but its reality. I don't think it is realistic to expect the providers to drop prices because of the economy unless they notice a drop off in their business, again this hobby is a luxury and one only sacrifices their dignity to ask for discounts because of hard times. That's my opinion.

I had a provider tell me once that a half hour appointment was not worth her exposing herself to the hazards of meeting a stranger in this hobby. I had another that told me she doesn't offer the same experiance for half hour dates, I think she said she didn't kiss or provide the GFE she did with 1 hour or longer dates. She said it was just basically a lay and thats it.

appointment to cum.  I started booking 1.5 hours...  which worked out well.  After a couple of years, a lady asked me why I booked more time than we used & I said I wanted to to be sure we finished what we started.  She said we would, and so I've been booking 1 hour.  In my area most half hours are nearly the same as a full hour...  so the better bargain remains 1 hour or more.

For example. Why pay the entrance fee to go to a museum and then run thought it as fast as you can. Not stopping to enjoy all that it has to offer. That just doesn't make sense to me. Sure you can say you were there, and you can say you did it, but did you really get the full experience?
