Multi hour appoinments are easy for girls because most guys can't cum much  or often. More talk time and less work and twice the money is a no brainer.  Every girl wants multi hour appointments. DUH.

I remember one 2 hour session that was non stop from the time he came in.... we rested maybe a total of 5 min lol

but yes, most guys can not do that

establish a connection and really get to know each other.
60 minutes, and even 90 minutes, go by pretty fast.

And when you really get to know each other on a deeper level, the client may feel like a true connection was made and will want to see the provider again.

What part of the world they are from? what their cultures are? married, single, dating, gay, sraight, age range? if they have children? do they have careers, were they ovulating?

Thier reaserch consisted of 900 random Women, we know nothing about. That's hardly, an in depth study.

Its to justify the time it takes to get to and keep the appointment, offstet a slower economy (fewer bookings means get the bang out of each appointment) and simply because hordes of other girls are doing it and a lot of providers take their pricing cues from other girls.

I've thought about doing a two hour outcall minimum because the hassle of doing outcalls would make better sense if I were making more money.
Its a pure business decision - not because I want to know the client more on his dime because anything I can do to a man or learn about a man in 90 minutes I could learn in an hour.

Then again, no one is forcing anyone to see that provider and I'm sure she sets her rates based on what previous clients were willing to pay.

If she feels she is losing business, she may go back to offering 1 hour minimums.

Some providers do offer shorter dates, such as 1 hour minimums, but only for established clients who have seen her before.

I can go for two hours just ask Sasha !!

I recently raised my rates, then my time minimum, just because my appointments entailed a lot of travel time. There were no other ladies in my area with a similar price structure. I found quite accidentally that the overall 'vibe' of my appointments changed,  overwhelmingly for the better. While previously I had gritted my teeth for men who expected me to travel over an hour and a half and see them for "about an hour, but don't be a clockwatcher," (of course, the men overstayed at least a half hour even though I had a 90-minute rate on my site) to men who not only had more respect for my time, but treated me more respectfully as a person.

Some of the men I saw before scoffed when I said I had a daytime job. The men I saw afterwards not only expected it but asked about my passions and goals. Men I saw before picked apart my appearance, the men I see now compliment me. Expectations are higher; but that's fine with me. I get treated better in every aspect of the interaction, which in turn, makes me so much more eager to please. It is a win-win situation for both me and the client.

As one client explained, 'when you see 1-hour or half-hour and an incall schedule, you know the appointment is going to feel a certain way. When you see a multi-hour minimum, you know the appointment is going to feel another way.'

Of course, I was the same person and offered the same level of service to my 1-hour clients. But I feel more appreciated and that affects my attitude. I don't worry about time so much, because nobody tries to take advantage of it. I actually feel that I give better service as a result.

Oh, and my accountant loves me

Ok so there's some truth to wanting to do less and make more.  It's called working smart rather than working hard.

Besides that, two hour minimum were actually a necessity for me and a lot of other ladies.  Either that or have a significantly higher than average hourly rate.  You'd be surprised how much business girls get.  And there is a limit to what a human woman can physically take.  

So since our supply is finite, and men have the money to spend, why not require a higher price/time appointment minimum?

...after the first of the year for one hour dates, as I prefer multi hour dates for the reasons you listed.  

  I don't think that I provide better service, on multi hour dates, but the experience is much better, and more relaxed.  There is more of a connection.

  I know many gentlemen will say, I don't need a connection, I just need to get ******, but those are not the gentlemen I see, or want to see.

Hugs and Kisses,
Kelly
PS:  After reading this thread, I might not wait to raise my rates; I might do it earlier!

I'll ask Sasha...

just make fewer appointments and would hobby less.

the "connection" thing is overrated.that has to do with more than time.  

And if the phone isn't ringing you can run your specials.

This isn't rocket science!

to be sure of being paid fairly for their time, having experienced so many overstaying clients. Two-hour minimum providers are not on my list, and the one who became two hour minimum is gone from my list. Why am I not surprised the Hobby works like an episode of Nature?

min. because any less locally is not worth my damn time.

True, but I don't know her history, so I can't comment. I know I have never ran a damn special for anything other than a pre-booking one if I tour. Some girls can't get a 2 hour min...you are correct, but some will eat spam before they drop that rate to appease certain people. Or, they can go work at Walmart...you're right, it's not rocket science lol.

You guys do realize how stupid that shit sounds I hope? Unless you sent the hooker a memo telling her she was ever on your dumbass list, she does not give a fk if she is now off it. Write that down real quick! If she raised her rates,it was to AVOID certain people.

I never see anyone with a half hour rate ( or Heaven forbid, shorter) I think the best first meeting is 90 minutes. If you want this better treatment due longer appointments......build it into the pricing structure. I am always most attracted to those that say ( for example) one hour = 250/ 2 hours= 400.....or one hour =300/ 90 minutes = 400. Longer bookings are easier not only for the reasons mentioned, but because of one preparation and one travel ( for out call) I always think it's funny when a lady indicates that she is willing to drive an hour, but doubles her hourly rate for two hours.

The chances of getting repeat clients are almost zero, most men move on to other women.

Might as well get as much $$ as you can right away.

Two hour minimums are fine for them, I just move on!

In the case of the ones who are really worth the rate they ask, you're right: they will never know who ever wanted to do business with them before getting priced out. But according to MrFisher, everyone thinks she can follow the trend, as if the demand for HER time is as inelastic as it is for the real courtesan who had good reason to go upscale. But I guess some other posters are right: a provider who goes for the thinner air either finds it will hold her up or it won't.

As for me, I haven't decided whether I need to hobby or not.

But the amount of gals that post this drivel is amazing.  Coming from BwB it sounded like a "threat" that she's going to "raise her rates".  Frankly, I've never announced that I'm raising my rates...I just do it.  If someone doesn't want to pay the new rate, they leave.  Simple!!

So all I'm suggesting here is to STFU and do whatever it is you want to do.  Almost sounds like those hookers that have the "retirement tours"...quickly followed by the "Back by popular demand" nonsense.

People used so say my father played really well to his strengths. From the time of my childhood, he taught me that the only way to play to your strengths is to know well your limitations and weaknesses. I do best in longer term relationships with extended dates-lunch, dinner, clockfree, and multiday/travel, and most of my gentleman friends fall into this arena. I'm a terrible actress, but fortunately I am multifaceted with interests and knowledge all over the map. When you're given the time and space to find a bit out about a person, connect over shared interests, and figure out what makes him or her uniquely awesome, you simply don't have to "fake it." The warmth, interest, and friendship comes naturally. In short, I'd rather "dive deep" with my gentleman friends, rather than awkwardly skim the surface. That's just how I roll.

All the flowery words in the world won't "make" me whatever I claim to be, and we clearly exist in an industry where the professionals trend toward overstating everything from pedigree to waist size. Where talk is cheap, actions speak the world. I alert potential friends to my predilections through my time minimum and rate structure, and more than a few have commented that my 2 hour minimum (rather than an hour, or a half) played strongly into why they contacted me-in most cases, these individuals start off with a dinner date, because they feel confident that I am actually invested in a fuller/broader experience.

As for the gentlemen that take issue with 2 hour minimums. Yes, money in this industry does grant you greater access. Money also allows you to buy any clothing item you may want, but if it's the wrong size, or the wrong style for you, why on earth would you want it? Attempting to force, cajole, or negotiate a woman to reduce her time minimum isn't going to make the date "fit" you better.
