Hi Guys,
I was wondering whether I can negotiate with a Provider on the phone or its very repulsive ? I havent use this type of service before.

lol
I know this is the newbie board but come on thats really bad form.
she sets her rates as to what she feels her time is worth.
If you can't even respect her rate why should she see you?
If someone you want to see is more expensive than you can either afford or are willing to spend, see someone else within your price point.
It all comes down to respect.

who may have her teeth around your ........

I know I would not be that brave

Great idea. First tell her she isn't worth what she thinks she is. Then have her show up and give you the performance she thinks you deserve.

I don't see how some men think they can haggle with providers.  If she wasn't getting enough business to support herself she'd lower her rates on her own.  If she's posting a rate higher than what you want to pay, assume it's because most other men she visits are more than happy to pay that amount.  If you can't fork out her going rate you'd better find someone more within your budget.  She's not going to make any exception for you, and any assumption that she would is naive and outrightly stupid.  This isn't a flea market or garage sale we got going on here.  Sheesh!  Sorry to be abrasive but this question is just insulting, even to us hobbiests!

Nothing positive can come from it.  She has her rate, either you can/want to pay that, or move on.  Never, ever, try to negotiate down her rates...just not cool, dude!

Shop in your price range and stop wanting to see escorts out of your price range. Or look for ladies running specials.

you had, you would know the answer to your question is a big fat NO!

Do you negotiate with your CPA, your attorney, your physician?  I think NOT.

Do you negotiate with you lawyer? Your mechanic? Your doctor?  Why would you think that it's OK to do it with a provider?

You know you could try but don't be surprised if she "negotiates" her service. At least that's what I would do. I'm new and am doing my research on here to see what's what. A mine of information to say the least.

Do not do this ever. Either pay the freight or find someone else.

That would never be a good idea, she will probably just hang up on you. There are many great providers on here, in every price range. Choose one that is in your price range.
I recently got an email asking if I would barter services, it went straight to the trash bin.

Never negotiate a lady's fee. Her price is her price. If she is highly rated, pay it.

I think I learned a lesson. Will pay the price.

And I'm using the alias because, as you can see, this is a very touchy subject and it also brings out the white knights.

Now, I personally have never negotiated with a provider.  I see who I want to see, and I don't want to risk pissing them off over $50, it's just not worth it to me.  However, that's my opinion.  Maybe the $50 is more important to you, or maybe who you see isn't that important and you are more budget driven that quality driven.  That's up to you.

So, if you decide to do it, how you do it does matter.  Again, I don't have experience here, so I'm just going to apply some common sense.  If the lady says "no negotiation, please don't ask", then you need to go ahead and respect that, and don't ask.

So, let's say she doesn't specify.  I see nothing wrong with saying in a straight forward manner, "I know your website says $350 for the hour, but I've only budgeted $275.  If that will work for you, great, if not, I totally understand and I'll look for someone else".  Let her answer (or lack thereof) be the final answer (in other words, if she says "no" don't come back with $315 or something - you aren't at a flea market).

Personally, if I were a provider, I'd rather have the option of saying "no" rather than having the client make that determination for me.  If I had a clear afternoon or was going to be in the area, and it was shorter notice (meaning I probably wouldn't otherwise be selling the time), then I'd probably entertain the offer.  If my inbox was over filling, I'd just hit delete (and that's the risk you take by negotiating).

IMO, a lot of the providers here just want to make negotiating seem out of the bounds of respectable society.  Which I'd do if I were a provider too.  But this endeavor is not totally immune to any market forces, and if you can't afford to pay full freight, I don't see any harm in asking.  It just might be that the girl could use the business as well.

That's a very respectable way to put it. I do have a question though. If said gent asks and receives the discount for the reasons you put forth, if he wants to rebook, should he expect that same discount or pay her, her going rate? If it's pay the going rate..great but I can see the reluctance of some ladies being expected to "grandfather" the discount. That would put off plenty of ladies..me included. I'll cut someone a reasonable break if I feel like it, but I won't honor that rate for ever.
