I'd like to hear what both ladies and gents think about this.

Some guys are multi-hour guys, and some are just not. I imagine more are not than are. I also imagine whether you are or not is due to economics.

If you can spend 500 monthly, you might prefer an hour every other week, instead of a 3-hour dinner date every 6 weeks.

With that in mind... I'm sure there are many fellows who dont have that kind of budget to begin with. Likewise there may be many guys who would book a 2 or 3 hour dinner date, but just cant justify spending the same for an hour at dinner as they do for an hour BCD.

So gents - If you never book a dinner date now, would you be more likely to if the pricing were more like 250 for hour BDC or 350 for dinner date with one hour BDC.

If you do book multis now, would you book more frequently with such a pricing structure?

So Ladies, assuming that those on this board are not volume providers (several sessions daily)
have you ever tried these types of specials? Or considered it? Do you think there might be an untapped market segment here?

Please, ALL thoughts are welcome!

Thanks in advance to all who answer!

Personally, I prefer multi-hour engagements. I enjoy the relationship aspect of the hobby.

If it is someone that I haven’t met before, it gives us a chance to gain a comfort level. If it’s an established friend, it gives us both a chance to catch up and enhance our relationship.

It doesn’t mater if it is breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks it’s all a mater of timing, location, and convenience for both of us.

If you read what most web sites say, you are paying for time only. Anything else that happens is between 2 consenting adults.

Since you asked, it’s just my .02 (if that much).

I offer a four hour dinner date at my house at a very very low price but don't advertise it much since my time is limited.  

Multiple hours that is :::::winking:::::

I actually do have more dates that are 2-4 hours than 1 hour dates. My special is a 4 hour dinner date which is extremely discounted (only $100 more) from the 3 hour (which is also discounted). It's so nice to really get to know someone, spend lots of hours flirting, and finally being able to have totally unrushed fun BCD. I think these dates are the ones where your mind is stimulated just as much as the rest of you....and we all know that the more ya like someone...the better the intimacy ) And who doesn't love to have a hot lady on their arm to show off at dinner (in a discrete location of course)??

I truly appreciate the companion who spoils me and I always return the favor..10 times over!

Kisses,

many would beleive they are better off waiting for a last min. call rather than a reduced rate for dinner. On they other hand everyone has to eat dinner.

I totally enjoy dinner dates. Have been on a few as of late and they can be totally fun with the right person. Gives me a chance to know the lady as a person and see how compatible we are. Also, gives her a chance to be comfortable with me. Much more fun with a lady who can carry on a conversation and be a total flirt with me...I am not shy...anymore.
For something like this I try to talk to the lady after screening is done so I can get an idea of personality and chemistry before we book a longer date. The way she interacts with me thru email or on the phone will indicate how she interacts with me on a date. It is much easier to fake liking someone or tolerating them over 1 hr, while it is really tough to do that over a 4 hr dinner date. Nobody wants to spend that amount of time with someone who makes it difficult to be around them.
On the flip side, something can be said for walking into a room and just going at it like a couple of animals for about 1 hr before even saying hello...that is totally hot also! Even hotter with someone you know and are totally comfortable with.

My multi hours are very popular, I probably do more multi hours than hour apts and thats not involving dinner, so why would I cut the price then include going out for dinner? or am I misunderstanding the question?

My apologies MissChloe,

HalfHour

... is one of the reasons that many clients don't ask about multihour is their assumption that full rate per hour is expected (or close to it), along with the hobby stigma of ASKING about a discount?

Since, I don't personally socialize with other hobbyists, I have learned about hobby etiquette over the years from discussion boards, provider websites etc.

To be perfectly candid, I dont see any harm in politely asking for a discount, but I will NEVER ask and never had. The last thing I want to do is offend a Ladies personal sensibities with a subject that carries so much emotion for many. (For the record, I do believe that many ladies are sensitive to being asked about discount because so many men are jerks about it.)

So, I have always assumed (based on rates posted on umpteen ladies websites) that if a Ladies hour is $250, a 3 or 4 hour dinner would likely be $600-800. As a single working father, I can't justify that at all, especially when one hour would be the maximum BDC. As I mentioned in the OP, it is simply economics, and not a reflection on the provider's value.

So IF that were the case with man not asking, and a provider decided that something like $400 for a dinner date (about 1 hr bdc) was do-able for her, then it might simple be a marketing matter, to getting that information to the right client.

MissChloeHills made an excellent point, in that her client base has many multihour requests. I infered from her post she means completely BCD sessions. I understand that her client base is mostly 20's & 30's.  Guys 45+ that post usually say an hour of that is enough! LOL! It certainly is for me! LOL!

So maybe the distintion needs to be made when refering long sessions. Is it mostly social & relaxation with about an hour BDC?  Or is it a 3-hour full-bore sausage fest?  

For tha latter of the two I could see why a Lady might even RAISE the hourly rate on that one.

Thoughts anyone???



HalfHour  

it is not often that a request is made for more than an hour...
BUT I love the longer times together in order to really SAVOR
the time and make it most unforgettable.

I do offer and prefer longer dates. I even thought about do a
2 hour minimum, but too many clients either do not have the
time or the extra to do it even at a discount.
It sure is a nice time when they can though!!

XOXOXO

I don't negotiate on rates. Well I did once. I talked the gal from $300 up to $350 and then paid $360, is that negotiation?

But maybe there should be a Date Rate with the understanding that it's $500 for 3 hours with two hours of dinner and drinks. But if they advertized this some jerk would try and move to 1 1/2 hr. of drinks so it would create a management problem.

What do I know, besides look at my negotiation skills. LMFO

Id' be interested in seeing the answers to this as well!
Some ladies have guidelines on their website some do not. As for me, and I am pretty sure most ladies agree with this, it is all in the liking of my date and I, in agreement as to what may or may not happen as the time unfolds. I OFFER MY TIME, NOT SEX, so the time can certainly be tailored to fit the tastes of the parties involved. We could play scrabble the whole time! lol

If the extended date does not involve dinner, then I  like to start with conversation, and once we settle in, maybe a little spread of meat and cheese or chocolate and strawberries along with some champagne, wine, or sparkling cider- depending on the preferences of the guest, and a nice long massage, possibly a bubble bath, and all sorts of things that cannot be fit into an hour. For me, extended dates are a TREAT!!!

If it is an "overnight" date, I make sure I do note that for me, overnight is 8 hours and it ends at a certain time, (depending on when it begins) because I do not expect to sleep! If they want to wake up with me, then that would involve sleep and needs to be "tailored" to include that... It takes more time, obviously.

I think it is nice to offer a break for multi hours because, as I said, it is a treat to get to do so and it is appreciated and I would rather have more of those than the sorter timed dates if I had my wish. Why would I not make it more enticing by offering a discount for multiple hours?

Some ladies want full compensation for the entire night, I have seen some offer a break for the sleep time deducted out, YES it is still their TIME WITH YOU but it is just an individual decision made per lady... I guess, instead, she could just sneak in and be an alarm "clock", lol!!

So there is my .02 again.

XOXOXO

However, the donation for my three-hour date is incorrect on my website, and I wasn't able to get that changed before my web guy left the business -- not his fault.  

I prefer longer dates, and most of my clients usually book longer appointments with me, but that doesn't mean I don't get the 1 to 1 1/2 hour clients. Get a lot of those lately and still have a lot of fun.

Hugs,
Ciara

just saw ur pics.  great legs, love ur short hair and are your eyes that green?  Nice!

Yes my multi hours are BCD unless dinner is requested and on those times I might decline the appointment.  The longer engagements even though BCD are spent with a round or 2 but with lots of conversation. I understand thats not everybody's ideal use of the hobby funds.
