Today I was peeking at ads and came across an ad for a lady, which prompted me to look at her website:
http://www.penelopearcher.com/rates.

When I looked at her website I saw something that I have never seen before - a 20% discount for black folks. Seems like sort of the opposite of what I would expect to see - a small penis discount.

Has anyone ever seen this or any other interesting discounts before? Should a lady be able to discount her rates to reflect preferences (ethnicity, race, age, orientation, disability, etc.)? Or should that be taboo? How does this make you feel? If this was switched around and it was a 20% discount for white folks would that be treated or looked at differently?

Looks like a broken link

Edit: Never mind, it works if you remove the period at the end.

Discounts

As is often discussed here a providers price points are hers to set and she is free to charge whatever she wishes too, just as we are free to decide wether or not to see her.

My only question is that discount applies to “women and black customers”

Does that mean a black woman scheduling with her receives a 40% discount?

Re: Discounts

Even if I happened to identify as a black woman to get the 40% discount, $540/hour for this provider would still be too high for me and my taste.

Re: Discounts

So would 1 hr go from 900 to 720 to 576 or just straight to 540 or would it be 720 for a black female?

What is her rate for a black female?

A. 576
B. 540
C. 720
D. None of the above

Interestin Discounts

I have seen a provider that offered a discount for donating to charity. But it was donate $50 to charity, get $50 off, so unless you itemized on your taxes, you weren't really gaining anything by donating.

As a black man, this makes me feel great.

Other than a financial incentive, how is this different than a provider instituting an No Blacks Allowed rule or stating on their ad/site that they prefer men over X age.

If I stumbled across a woman that discounted for a demographic that is not applicable for me, granted she wasn't incredibly hot, or had really good rates, I'd keep it moving. They make enough money to financially express a preference, they don't need my money.

It's her business and her right to set prices as she sees fit

But much in the same way I don't respond well to people using religion to attract customers as in "We operate according to good Christian principles" I avoid those businesses like the fucking plague, I also don't reward Social Justice Warriors for bringing their "cause" into something that is a leisure activity for me. I fuck hookers for fun, NOT to be preached to, anyone with a special rate for women and blacks is not going to be on the same page as me and I have ZERO desire to patronize such a person. Especially one that I am not particularly attracted to in the first place.

For the record, I rarely see women with "No AA" policies either. In much the same way that I don't support SJW's neither do I support overt racism, and please spare me the excuse that women with NBA policies aren't racist. They are the very definition of racist, but so is reverse racism/sexism. I refuse to tacitly endorse either kind of racism.

I have suggested for years . . . .

that providers should charge by the inch. All of a sudden, the guy with the smallest dick is living large because he's seeing three times as many providers for the same money.

Not sure whether this is racism or reverse-racism without more information. If she being condescending to blacks by suggesting they are poor and can't afford to pay what others are paying, or does she have a personal ethnicity bias in favor of blacks and is therefore willing to discriminate against non-blacks by charging them more? Either one is not a good look on a provider and constitutes an automatic pass for me.

I don't like that a name was dropped over it, but free advertising for her I guess...

That being said, I am curious if POC would find that insulting that someone assumed they needed a 20% discount?

On the same token, there are wage gaps in race and gender. I've seen people offer lower price points to women using the wage gap for reasoning...

So yeah, I would be curious to find out if someone would be hesitant, thinking, "I don't want to go on a date with someone who thinks I'm their charity." At the same time, it could also be a preference... There's something to be said about some good ole' BBC - heh heh

I'll take any discount ...

Although I am white so not relevant to this case, I would take any excuse for a discount. I've already written off any illusion that the escort is doing this because she's attracted to me. To put it bluntly, I am renting her body for an hour and what's going on in her head really doesn't concern me.
