Guys, what do you do when you come across one of those gals that doesn't mention her rate on any website profile or ads?  

If she's insanely hot, I'll email and ask. Otherwise, it's a no from me

Especially if she has glamour shots.  I assume she is a HDH, and if I have to ask, I can’t afford it.

I would post a link to her website and provide her name. Are you sure you looked everywhere for the price?

There's a sucker born every minute.

This girl is BEGGING you to negotiate!

If she isn’t up front about her rate, which is a pretty key detail, what else is she hiding?
No. Just no.

I don't want all the back and forth.  I have never experienced a "last minute" deal.  Can you provide an example?

Are the adult Search/skipthegames crowd (in other words, the classic "backpage girl)." If I'm fishing in that arena, I just ask how many roses they need. As for multi hour discounts, I can't afford multi hour dates in the first place, so I've never had to deal with that.

I've never seen a hidden price for anything turn out to be a bargain.  It is always higher than others.  That's why they keep it hidden.  They rely on buyer momentum.

They 'll hee haw about it and I'll just say straight out, "Hey XX, to avoid any embarrassing or an uncomfortable situation, what will the be the donation to the XX fund of higher learning".
Then they'll usually come up with a number by then..and depending how exasperated I became over the situation, then I'll decide if I want to pull the trigger.

If I can't find the donation amount I move on.

I would not wait for her to make the first move.  

I don't work my business this way. I want a gent to know my rates so if he wants to book awesome if too much he chooses another lady.
Every lady is different on how she runs her business. Maybe this is just a side hustle for her and she works when she needs a certain amount of money. I really haven't heard of this with an exception of a b/s agency but even then they tell you what the "agency fee" is.
In my opinion that is what a website and/or ads are for so a gent is aware of rates.
That way no one's time is wasted for you or the lady. Did you try to google all contact info to see if there is any ads at one point that had rates?

Really its Smart to have all your Facts straight Up front..
And that includes  Prices" Donations "
I mean.. ooops  

and it worked out well for me. Pretty much the same rate I was expecting, once she told me what it was. All is good.

If not then why would anyone be spending this much time trying to find out what a completely unknown and unreviewed provider charges?

Please keep participating on these boards, Jaydalee.  Otherwise we have a huge sausage fest going on.  

That is true. However, for me it's more about the signal; it suggests I'm in for a lot of back and forth on price and service level -- in other words up-sells. I can use the reviews for that too but why. Too many other option which don't require the extra effort.

I'm a provider that lists donations whenever permitted (sometimes both in facts section AND text portion of ads). But more times than not, new gents that contact me through such platforms do not know my donation. For that reason, I do not final confirm an appointment until I know we are on the same page. So when I see so many replies here that gents are actually looking for such info in an ad, I was mildly surprised. Probably is a bias of this sample size of course in that y'all are informed consumers as reflected in you're being interested in an independent review site like TER (duh, Kacy
As I typed this I'm also thinking that putting aside ad respondents that only look at a providers pics and immediately hit her up without checking ad details, possibly those that act is if they don't know my donation are hoping I'll say a lesser amount or looking for a segue to negotiate it down. Hmm?
Warmest hugs,
Kacy TGirl

If I don't see a donation amount anywhere, I will do one of two things - 1)  Assume that it is too high for my bank account to recover from,  or 2)  E-mail her a general introduction and see if she responds with the rate.
