For those of you who have the audacity to ask a provider without a 30 minute option listed if they’ll offer you a half hour session for a lower price, at what point do you think it’s simply ridiculous and absurd to ask for a lower rate? A jackass who found me on this website just did this and I’m appalled because my hour rate for an incall is only $300. How much am I supposed to charge?

Before I became the leader of my tribe and only active parent I had a wonderful life of catering to quick visits.

If it’s not advertised, it should not be asked. It’s wild to me that he would ask given your rate as well. Personally, even if I only had/needed a 1/2 hour, I would either find someone offering 1/2 hour rates or just pay the hour rate.

If the providers business is slow, she just may take it. Heard it happen with few gals that don't openly offer half hour.

Why get offended?
If you don’t want to offer half hours just say I’m sorry but my minimum is one hour.

My rule of thumb for suitors is: if it’s not listed, don’t ask. This especially goes for if you have not met and have no rapport. It’s tacky and will probably land you a one-way ticket to our block list. Not bc our feelings are twisted.. we’d be worried you’d try to scam us and purposely have less than our rate! If you’re on a firm budget, just stick to providers already within that.  

Many businesses do frown on customers asking for options not on their menus. You’re not getting 1/2 a steak, 1/2 a burger, or 1/2 a slice of pizza. And yet, some do 1/2 orders of certain items. Usually it’s on the menu if they do. But occasionally it is not, and doesn’t hurt to ask. But how you’re made to feel when asking can vary. Some will very politely say no and be chill about it. Some will be snippy or smug in their responses.

I don't like the idea of exploiting an escort's desperation to get a lower price. The reason business is slow is because no one wants to pay. If a client had any sort of empathy or respect for providers, he would pay extra, not less.

Thank you so much. I was taken aback as well. Some clients need to just decide whether or not being in the hobby is really for them. If you resent having to pay providers or you simply can't afford it, just do yourself a favor and stop trying to fit into a world that you don't belong in.

It’s not just about being offended by hhr, it’s the fact he immediately tried to negotiate. I’m sure you’d understand our annoyance if your boss suddenly asked if you’d be open to taking only 50% of your established pay.  

When you ask for a discount on a broken item at the store, it's because you don't think it's worth the full price. If you see an escort that doesn't have 30 minute session rates listed and you ask her to give you a lower price, it's because you don't think she's worth what she charges for an hour. That's insulting to me. It's even more of a slap in the face when your hourly rate is only $300. Clients complain so much about high rates, yet they still haggle with providers with lower rates. There's literally no winning and it's disheartening.

I'm not sure where you got the idea of exploitation.

Many, many women offer certain things and do NOT make them public. As examples, many providers will engage in BDSM but don't offer that up on their website or ads as they feel it may hurt their GFE image or for possibly other reasons I am unaware. Many women also offer up a FBSM rate that is different than their GFE rate but only mention it if asked.  
.
I know personally many women over the years who wont advertise a half hour rate below that of their 1 hour rate but will provide one when asked privately.  
.
As you implied, offering up a rate to her for that booking would be rude and unprofessional but merely asking if she does 30 minute dates is perfectly fine, imo. Others disagree and I respect that difference of opinion but the women I have known never had a problem with the mere ask.

When you said “if the provider’s business is slow”, implying that a client may luck up and get a 30 minute discount if the escort is desperate enough for the money. I see that as taking advantage of someone in a vulnerable position.

I wouldn’t mind being asked if I offer a 30 minute rate if the client would proceed to pay my 1 hour rate after I tell them no, but every single time this has happened, they always go ghost because they don’t want to pay my fairly low hourly rate. I already struggle with self-esteem and mental health and BS like this only makes it worse. I wish clients had more empathy and considered how much their behavior can affect  us.

If I see a gal and, having read her reviews, I receive some benefits that don't appear in her reviews I am NOT going to put them in my review. Because I don't want to put her in the position of declining to provide the same service to someone else who read my review and expected the same service.

Price of rent, milk and eggs are up.

You're running a business. Why take such a hard stance against asking for a hhr appointment?
You're confused or just argumentative.

Have you ever worked in a restaurant? People ask for modifications and special orders all the time. Usually its no big deal Burger King even made it their slogan.  "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special order's don't upset us. All we ask is that you let us serve it your way.... Have it your way at Burger King!" Plenty of restaurants will even make you something that is not on the menu, believe it or not!  
.
Have you ever worked in sales? People will try to negotiate rates, ask for discounts or something special all the time. It is up to the business to accept it or not. Being an escort is essentially a sales job. They have to learn to deal with it and not take it personally. Is it annoying? Of course. Are some clients jerk offs? Oh yea! However, this is the job they chose. When you try to sell something to the public, you're going to encounter assholes. It's just the reality. If escorts don't like it, they can find another job.

A good friend of mine, whenever we go get a pizza, asks for no sauce.

Are you even reading what I wrote or just trolling at this point? You literally didn’t say anything that was actually countering what I said but tried to make it seem that way.

I am really not arguing with you. I just think some people are coming at this from vastly different perspectives and I don’t think one is wrong and one is right as it’s just different opinions and not necessarily bad ones.  
.
If you feel someone is disrespectful of your time, that I will never argue as that is your call. My only point is not every provider views this issue similarly. There are very wide differences on a whole host of topics amongst providers as they can disagree with each other and still both be correct and true to themselves.
.
Personally, I just think there is a way to ask the question with decency and respectfully without having any expectations or by placing any demands on any provider ever. Thanks for your response as I respect it totally.

I don’t necessarily think that when you ask for half hour is that you think provider isn’t worth full hour.  
Not all of us have deep pockets and to some 300 is a lot and  to some isn’t.  
Me personally I go for an hour but I have done half hour when I only had time for half hour. Plenty of us are in this situation where we want to get away on lunch brake and don’t have time for full hour.  
If you are getting a lot of those requests maybe offer half hour at 250. I don’t know just my 2 cents. And don’t get offended if they request half hour. It’s different if he asked for an hour and wanted to pay less. That’s totally different.

There is really one reason to ask. It’s to get a cheaper price for the less time. I really doubt any provider would say no if a client said they would pay their hour rate but only had a 1/2 hour to spend with them. In Lucy’s case since her rate is so cheap already, it’s a bad look. For a higher priced lady where a discount on a 1/2 hour may be still worth her time, different story.

If a HHR option isn’t listed anywhere on her site or ad then I’m not asking. I find it tacky as shit..💩  
I find this endeavor to be kinda “personal” to me and to ask… well that ain’t in me🤷🏻‍♂️
But, that’s just me

I wasn’t really addressing Lucy’s specific case. You are right to point out the extenuating circumstances surrounding her situation.
.
I was speaking more broadly with my vast experience with well over 150 providers. In every case I can think of, none of them would have an issue with the ask, in and of itself IF, and this is a big if…if the provider felt she was approached in a respectful and professional way and not feeling cheapened, pressured or used.  
.
On the other hand, A guy should NEVER have any sense of entitlement re: this and I am sure many do at times as my provider friends have also told me this is also something they confront with some regularity on a host of issues.
.
There is no uniform way providers handle these issues. Differing personality types and lived experiences will shape a providers view on this topic. That is really all I am saying and you can feel free to disagree with my take as I am sure some others will as well.
.
Thanks for your respectful response. It is nice having differing thoughts in a professional manner without it ever getting contentious.

Some would see it as an opportunity for the provider to keep the roof above head.
Depends on your point of view.  

Some people are chickenshit to ask for what they want. So they usually get 2nd best or something they are not 100% happy with.

I can't recall a time in my decades of P4P when I asked a lady a question such as this one from jump street.  Moreover, I've made it a hallmark to never, ever bargain with a lady--her rates are her rates.

The way you react to the most mild posts suggests you have a lot of issues you need to work out. You are so easily provoked and have issues with multiple people on this board. The common factor in all of this is you.  
.
Your first sentence was “ Many businesses do frown on customers asking for options not on their menus” and I replied that based on my experience in business that isn’t the case. I don’t know why you start so many fights on this board over nothing. You’re crazy dude.

That actually says more about them than himself. For the record, I am not placing you in either camp but you do like to cause shit here too. Be honest about that as you have your detractors as well.

That's how you handle your business and I wouldn't even think about criticizing it. It works for you and that is your standard.  
.
My only over arching point is that providers have a wide diversity how they view this specific topic and others similar to it. Some get offended and react harshly, some shrug it off and just click delete while others will entertain it and engage in it.  Just different POVs imo and all are valid. Ladies choice of course.

There are exactly 3 people I currently have issues with, all assholes like Robert said. Congrats on being one of them! You basically admitted you read the start of what I posted and responded just to it without reading the rest. At this point it’s clear, you’re more interested in trolling me like the other 2 assholes than actually engaging in a reasonable conversation.

Then say doing the full hour??
Asking puts him/her in a position to say “fuck this dude”.

What makes you think you’re being reasonable? You’re starting a flame war every day and blowing up over fairly innocuous posts. The other day you were trying to make fun of Ready2Rock for seeing trans providers when you yourself see trans providers. You’re blowing up every day and hurling insults left and right and you think you’re the reasonable one here? Get a grip man, you’re unhinged.

I don't disagree in principle with the idea of asking. But I think like many things, there are limits and certain questions might be offensive depending what you're asking and to whom. Before I ask for anything not advertised, I make sure to think through if I feel it's reasonable. If I am seeing a lady that charges $800/hour, and I only want a 1/2 hour, I see asking less intrusive because she can come back with $500-$600 which might be worth her time still. If I am a regular, this is even more so the case. But if her rate is already so low, personally I can understand if she feels too cheapened and is offended.

If we’re being honest, you have your detractors on this board as well (and not all of them are “assholes and trolls”). That being said, you and I have had a few arguments and disagreements on this board. However we’re able to have conversations on this board without constantly getting into fights or trading insults. We’ve been able to move on. HeShits seems to be getting into flame wars all the time recently. I think that says more about him than the people he gets into arguments with.

Is when the provider's ad is explicit that they have a one-hour minimum.

How explicit does one have to be about having a 1 hour minimum? I assumed that not having 30 minutes listed was enough. I guess we need to start writing, “I don’t not offer half hour sessions” in bold letters in our pricing sections.

Yes! Absolutely. I have one long time friend over thirteen years that needs quick visits because he's so busy. It's crazy because I travel to see him. He accommodates me very well. As a low volume provider and always give him 150% for the time we share together. Time is a luxury some can't afford.  

I have started zero flame wars. Show me once where I drew first blood? Ready more than anyone starts shit with me. Snafu will sometimes as well. Now, you decided to join the party. And, just like them you make shit up that's simply not true. I never made fun of him for seeing trans providers. I just toyed with his name, intentionally trolling him since he was trolling me. I challenge you to find one instance where I specifically make fun of him for seeing trans providers. I changed his name to ReadytoSuckCock and ReadytoTakeCock. That's as close as you will get. The other comment I have busted his balls with is eating shit stains since he talks about eating ass a lot. I would say the same thing if he was only into cis ladies and talked about eating ass a lot. And, he shared a story about paying to get dumped on but chickening out. That story was about a cis lady.

I agree

Many restaurants also have "secret menus" and will not tell you unless you ask.  I have known many providers who also have "secret menus" that are not advertised nor do they appear in reviews.  In both cases of providers and restaurants, it's bad form to ask in advance about "secret menus."  Better to wait until you are there in person.  

First Blood LMAO. I mean this is too easy.  
.
First of all, I wasn’t starting any shit with you in this thread. All I did was respond with some very mild pushback. There were no insults or name calling, and then you flip the fuck out. Trust me, if I was trying to start shit with you I’d be way nastier. If this is what you think “first blood” is than you need your head checked.
.
As for your next claim, here are receipts. You’re giving him shit in this entire post, going on and on about what is masculine or feminine. Seems like you’re making fun of him to me. I’m sure you’ll respond with multiple paragraphs claiming I’m twisting what you say. Whatever dude you’re just a hypocrite.  
.
Finally, I read your post. You tend to equivocate a lot and your posts are very verbose. You’re usually presenting both sides of an argument and being very wishy washy. If people can’t figure out what you’re trying to say its because you tend to use a lot of words to say nothing at all.
.
You can hit the reset button I don’t care. You’re the person who has a problem with me, remember? Do whatever you need to do in order to act like a normal person.

EOM

And "crazy" and that he has "a lot of issues you need to work out." You sound more like the faux board psychiatrist than just another poster with a massive ego. He gets along well with virtually every decent person here so your charges are drama filled, overblown and grossly inaccurate.

Doesnt matter if im getting the best. Im getting my foot in the door. Thats better than no pussy for Some clients. And for some providers, better than no money.  

The guy is picking fights on damn near every thread he is on. Clearly unstable and kind of a kook to be honest.

He's been flying off the handle for a few months now. A quick look at his posting history show's that. He's talking about first blood and has said I pick on him when I barely interact with him. If anything I've defended him in the past when other posters like CDL gave him shit for hooking up with guys and TS women. Also he's making fun of people for sucking dick and calling people gay when he is a self admitted bisexual man. So yea, I think there's something going on there. You might think its overblown and inaccurate. Let's agree to disagree.

My brother orders it without the chili, (its a crime but..he's my brother) and yes they charge me the same....Am I going to bitch for a discount...hell no.

In Easy Rider didn't Jack Nicholson pay for a full meal just to get two slices of toast?

As expected, you had a shot to reset, and you spit out more insults and more false claims, and said I can reset and you don't care. You're full of yourself and full of shit. Plain and simple.

All this pearl clutching because HeHits is busy smacking around the two reigning jackasses of the board (i.e. R2R and Snafucked) is honestly quite impressive. The only thing more impressive would be voluntarily taking their side. Do that, and congratulations sir...you would then be in serious contention for the coveted “Third Stooge” position we have been trying to fill for a while.
.
I honestly had higher hopes for you. But between the bed wetting and HeHits carving you up in this thread like a Thanksgiving turkey, my work is done here.
.
So I’ll bow out now out of boredom, but please carry on as I am genuinely looking forward to your next wildly disproportionate meltdown as you continue for Olympic Gold by attempting to make another mountain of an otherwise hidden and insignificant mole hill. lol.

Why would I reset with you? You've been a real asshole lately and I don't like you. I don't give a fuck. What are you gonna do call me a cocksucker? Takes one to know one I guess. You're not full of yourself and you're not full of shit? You're not spouting off insults? You're calling someone soft? Give it a break, you are a piece of work. Also, take your own advice. You don't have to respond to anything other people write, but here you are getting into another flame war. Again, who is the common denominator in all of this? YOU!

Ok Leonard Nemoy, your work is done here!

Awe, poor 420 is now frustrated. You’re showing more of how soft you are. You act like you get along with everyone then call me the common denominator. I was getting along fine. Ready started shit. I stood up for myself. Then, Snafu inserted himself. I stood up for myself more. Then you jumped in. And I still stood up for myself. It had nothing to do with either of you, but you butted in. And now you’re mad because I didn’t let you bend me over like a paid escort. And not only did you jump in, but you started with the insults. But apparently you can only dish it out. You suck at taking what you give. Because you are SOFT. Grow a backbone and own your shit.

Now I want to go to Tommy’s. And I am absolutely getting it with chili. Since he’s not my brother, I feel he should be arrested.

LoL if I’m frustrated then what are you? Are you Mr. cool, calm and collected?

If you have to say it, it’s probably not true!

That’s a stupid saying. Really, think about it. You’re basically saying anything anyone says isn’t true because they said it. Repeating things and not thinking them through is a better look on a parrot. But fair play if you too have a pebble sized brain.

But I'll add my two cents anyway.

Insisting that you're winning an argument usually indicates desperation and insecurity. If you're winning an argument it should be self-evident. If you have to insist that you're smart, powerful or have authority it is less likely to be true. If you actually were smart, powerful or had authority you should be able to demonstrate it easily. The fact that you have to say it indicates you lack confidence in its truth. It is a coping mechanism. It is like the Canadian hockey player that insisted the Canadian National team was the better team after losing the gold medal to team USA. It is a pretty easy concept that is very easy to grasp by most people, but you're struggling to understand it for some reason...
.
I'm also going to talk about another concept called "projection." Projection is when people take aspects they don't like about themselves and project it on to others to make themselves feel better. The fact that you are constantly trying to insult people's intelligence indicates you are deeply insecure about your own. The fact that you used gay and cock sucker as an insult, while you suck cock and have gay sex, indicates you're uncomfortable with your own sexuality.

Now you’re on a high horse acting like a psychologist. You go from trolling, to spiraling, to flinging mud, to crying, to trying to sound smart and talking down to me. Absolute clown.

to other providers offering a half hour, but I doubt you are getting the best compared to an hour session with the same girl.  When you go to a half hour, there is not enough time for the same menu you would get for booking an hour, so it's not her "best effort" by definition.  Book the hour if you want the best effort.  Think of it like going to a deli and comparing the crusty "Tuesday's" potato salad to the fresh batch just made this morning.  Lol

Is this what I also sound like?

In today’s world Jack would’ve told her to stick the chicken up her ass😆

Thanks for the correction and the movie clip.  Great scene!

It’s OK to ask for a half hour session, but it’s certainly not OK to suggest a price for that session. Suggesting a price would be rude.

Got bumped by the Hour date ??
Those could be the pitfalls when asking for the HH, the one hour request comes along and guess who gets bumped ..,Que No🤔

...is how much you could charge for a half hour session and tell him to be grateful for the generous discount.

But if you only have half an hour, tell that to the provider and pay for the shortest advertised time. Make sure she understands that you're leaving early because of your own issues and that it's not her.
