So I'm fairly new to this way of doing things and came across an ad on that Canadian site where the provider said 400/Hr 500/90min 700/2hr.... now I'm no math genius but this seemed  a little odd so I made the huge mistake of asking her about it.... the conversation went something like:

...so fuggedaboudit and move on to someone whose pricing is more logical and to your liking.

I thought EVERYBODY knew about "hooker math"

I don't understand what your issue is here? Her one hour is $400 and her two hour is $700, that means she is giving a $100 discount for booking a two hour appointment. Her donation structure is geared towards longer appointments. She clearly prefers longer than one hour appointments based on the fact that she gives a break on the donation for 90 min and 2 hr appointments. Some ladies will just say a flat rate of $500/hr or whatever. So 2 hrs would be $1000, 3 hrs would be $1500 etc.

I've seen structures like this a lot...  

yeah... but I mean... she must have some intention in this, surely she can't have chosen this at random?... is it an upsell? Is it a sure sign of a scam... like what could possibly motivate someone to do something this odd?

I'm a client not an escort... does that explain why?

Well if that was the logical and simple answer .... wouldn't she just say that instead of spending her valuable hooker time, going back and forth with me and wasting both of our time?  I agree with you... if she prefers 90 mins that's just fine.

Um.... yes she is giving a $100 discount for a 2nd hour, but that doesn't explain why she is charging $100 for 30 minutes and then $200 for 30 mins.  My math is pretty solid thanks!

Because she can, that's it, bottom line. And was it a mistake to question it, yup, sure was...to her at least. So count on NEVER seeing her. Don't try to make sense of "hooker" math, some rates make no sense mathematically, time wise but fuck it, whatcha gonna do? You weren't haggling her so that's cool, you were just being too logical in a unlogical game... I could just see her now....

I know I am breaking my own rules, but HIS point was that the 30 minute block of time, minutes 61-90, cost an additional $100, while the next 30 minute block of time, minutes 91-120 cost an additional $200, twice as much. There is only one explanation for that and that is the phenomenon called "hooker math"  

Why should you ask her about it or why she tried to explain it to you and wasted her time beyond my imagination. It is simply not your business.

This girl is encouraging 90 minute sessions probably because it's not much extra work. Most guys are one and done, so the extra half hour is just icing on cake
 

As was already mentioned, she seems to prefer longer than 1 hour appointments, so she offers attractive rates for longer sessions. If I were to guess based on her rates, she likes 90 minute dates best and thus the very good rate for that duration.  

Okay this is ludicrous....  If I called or emailed any other kind of business and asked them to explain their rate structure, they would NEVER EVER tell me it was none of my business and criticize me for inquiring.  Either this is a business transaction or it isn't.  This isn't the twilight zone.  It simply IS my business, I'm the customer!

for a thesis or dissertation?  If so, am forced to give you an "F" for topic selection and presentation.  Just find a provider in your price range, who you will enjoy being with.  When you encounter one that does not, simply move on.

It simply is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS why she charges more for minutes 91-120.  

You're looking at it the wrong way. Let's go back to the beginning. Her donation is $400/hr. So if that was her flat rate, 90 minutes would be $600 and 2 hrs would be $800. She gives $100 off both a 90 minute and 2 hr appointment. So it would seem to me that she has no preference between the 90 minute and 2 hr appointment based on that information. She just wants to make them more attractive than the hour appointments. You're already signing up for 1 hr for $400 so why not throw in an extra $100 for 30 more minutes? She's trying to weed out cheapasses, basically.  

Because if you are, I'm feeling so supremely blessed to have your assessment of my choice of posting and possible motivations and comprehensions.  If you aren't... you wasted more time than me, because I actually wanted to understand something.

Your argument completely breaks down when you compare this to any other type of business exchange.  I work part time in hot rod restoration... If someone asks why we charge x for y service... we are required to explain it to them... and this is true in almost every country for almost every service.

One thing every man should know is that Stupid and BSC women HATE to be called out for their dumb shit.  

Yes, you are so right.  I'm a cheapass and I asked about a logical discrepancy because I can't afford a middle of the road prostitute.  Amazing perception.

You want to understand something that makes no sense. Which begs the question, who's the moron, the one with the nonsensical rates, or the one spending THIS much time trying to explain the unexplainable?

It's like trying to teach a pig to sing, besides being a waste of time, it annoys the pig.  

embarrassing, quite embarrassing!  But, when you are right, you are right!

I don't have a hot rod, but let's say that I do, and I bring it to your shop. So, you charge x for y service and I ask "why do you charge x for y service"? You know, because I think that you should charge n for y service.  

There you will learn all about the does and don'ts.  Most ladies don't like to discuss money when it is clearly on our website.  

Schedule two 90 minute sessions.  I'll help you with the high-level math!  $500 X 2 = $1,000.  This gets the cost down to $333 per hour.  Schedule both sessions for the same day!  One at, say, 6pm, and the second for 10pm - this'll give you time to recover and perhaps eat.  And if session one doesn't go so well, you can cancel the second session!

I work for a consulting company.  When my Clients ask me why do you charge $X per hour.  I tell 'em "because I say so" and my reputation speaks for itself.

I have a master's degree, you misogynistic piece of garbage. You clearly are so wrapped up in your idea that hookers are dumb as hell that you missed out on a key piece of information. In his "conversation" with her, he says "Are you trying to discourage 2 hr appointments or is there no logic at all?"  

Winner!

"Oh, you're right, I should be charging 350, Dam babe, I love brains, get your ass over here"....So is that what you were hoping for???.....lol.

to provider's rate structure.  it's their thing and let it be.....

For 400.00, I see you’re charging 200.00 for each half hour up to an hour,  but only a 100.00 for the third-half hour, which makes it a grand total of 500.00 for 1.5 hours.

Her logic is her logic even if it's illogical to you. I understand curiosity but I would fairly asses that most providers don't want their rates scrutinized. Either take the deal or don't take the deal. Just don't waste her time. I think she entertained you too long to be honest.

This provider would rather do 90 minute sessions. That works for me. I always appreciate the additional 30 minutes at a discounted rate. She will do a two hour session but the last 30 minutes is at a higher rate. If she has to work that final 30 minutes she wants a higher rate. I completely understand her rational, but does she!

You are exactly right ......None of his business as to WHY, what is his business is to find a Provider at a price point that is in his range who he thinks based on his research as a Consumer will provide him with what he is seeking at that price point....period.  Now maybe during or after a session in the wind down conversation to discretely and politely inquire out of curiosity why she has such a structure most likely would result in a friendly and informative exchange that would leave you enlightened and set you free of your anxiety over HOOKER MATH and BSC hookers in general.....but most likely not because then you would have no reason to attempt to intimidate or flaunt your superiority over SimpleMinded BSC hookers and then come hear looking for sympathy .

I didn't call women, or hookers "stupid" I called YOU stupid.  

Well riddle me this...why is he so upset about this? Why did he come running here if wasn't invested in this problem? Clearly he was trying to get her to decrease her two hour donation by trying to tell her that it made no mathematical sense. When she told him sayonara, he ran here, whining, wanting other guys to circlejerk and comfort him. Congrats, you did just that!

I suggest you adhere to a strict regiment of pot and white Russians. This should help you to fall bass-ackwards into the realization that you are wildly overthinking something which literally requires no thought from you. It's really simple, man, you just look at who will benefit and....and....ya know!!!

there may be other factors, such as whether MSOG is available at the 90 minute rate, or only at the 2 hour rate.  That would make a huge difference on the amount of work involved.

their rate structure? Maybe you call Best Buy and ask them why their price for the newest widget is $3.99 more than you can get the same widget on Amazon.

It must be really hard to get you to cum, baby.

I'm more interested in her bone structure than rate structure.  

I do fine with MSOG with the 30yo Asian spinners.  I know I'm shallow, so no need to point it out.  I'm not alone, though, as most men are as aroused by the visual as anything else.

russ is dead right. except he used too many words to do so  .... like I would normally do. lol

OK, so I get it, maybe it is being OCD or on the Asperger's spectrum or something, but I also find it weird when the rates don't make "sense" (to me).  But it isn't worth asking about, because (most importantly) it is her business and her rates, but also because there may be other factors at work and besides the conversation never ends well.

next thing he'll wanna know is why there aren't any  
cock shots on the Photo Board.

400 first hour

What she is saying is that there is a $100 discount for either a 90 minute or two hour session.

I also don't see why this is confusing.  

Sounds like the OP isn't having any fun. And sure doesn't know how to get on the good side of someone about to, or not, suck his dick.
Screw with a woman's mind before sex and the enthusiasm goes right out the window. Unless, grudge sex happens. But that's not likely.

I'm not a fan of overnights so I charge accordingly so that only a dedicated chap will brave it!! I do like dinner dates
I guess everyone prices their time according to what time frame suits them with each client?
Some ladies start at a 2 hour minimum or price them so that they discourage shorter bookings. It's a lottery dude!!

She really did.

This isn't 'Nam, there are rules.

That's right, there are rules here!! LMAO😂😂

hooker math....it's almost as bad as nurses.
