I'm not a hobbyist but it's interesting to see the thought process on this especially since I'm on the other side of the fence and tour often.  

You could come whine about it on the boards.

It is just like any luxury in life, ether save your pennies or do without.

Complaining should never be done so I didn't even give a fourth option lol.

I have seen a number of ladies jump their rates from 300 to 450 or 500 in one single increase. For me that does put them out of my budget. I have been lucky that in some cases I did see the provider when she was at the lower rate, and have been happy that I got that chance before the rates went up. In some other cases I do regret missing the opportunity to see them when they were affordable (affordable to me--obviously everyone's idea of affordable is different), but then, I move on or watch for discounts.

Speaking strictly for myself, I pick "A", I simply move on to another woman unless there is something about her that I just 'have to have" but with all the hundreds, actually thousands of women available, I rarely if ever stress of any that "got away"

I think you answered your own question. Whatever you do don't sweat it or worry about it. Remember it's a fun hobby. There are several I have not seen with in my area (90 minutes or so)  where timing has not worked out. That's ok. If it happens it happens. If not that's ok to.
 

I either move on or if I really want it badly enough I would save up and sacrifice other things to get that.  
I'm sure you do the same thing so you are probably asking a deeper question that I am missing.

None of this is ever set in stone.  

meet the gal that's got you soooo interested. I find that my intuition is usually spot on.  

No you understand the question fine and not missing anything.
My reason for asking  I said earlier to get a overall point of view or general idea. I was sparked to ask this because on so many boards from eastcoast to westcoast there is always someone saying  
 " I want to see this lady but she upped her prices" then others would say " oh just wait until she comes down on her prices or offer a discount, they all will" I started to think that was the majority way of thinking when I see that is not after spending time in the hobby. Asking this question here on the GD board isn't focused on a certain state or region so the answers here are interesting to me

You're behind a pc and for all intents and purposes anonymous. I would rather someone tell me they can't spend $$$ on a date and ask if $$ is acceptable than not meet a great guy. Sorry for the alias...I know this would generate a load of crazy emails.

You have a budget, and you have desires...it's an exercise in making the 2 work together...

that might be true (tho i will debate it a little more below) but since i always see women for multiple hours, a $100/hr raise will increase my donation by 2 or 3 hundred.

Your mention of anonymity hints that you also believe that first contact, the one asking for a discount because you can't pay her rate yet won't just move on, should also not contain any verification info. If a prospective client truly feels their asking is not a bad thing to do, they should be able to attach a name/handle to that request.

i remember this one young girl, new from the OC, gorgeous, legit 20 years old.  Started off at 500 or something, then couldn't handle demand and hiked to 800, then disappeared i think.  
maybe she's utr. or maybe she can't handle perverts ravaging her body.

...which is, it depends. I wouldn't do (c), as I don't make hobbying decisions based on "what if's" and "maybe she'll have a discount who knows when".

that i wanted to see certain provider but never got the time or chance to see her until then i realized her rate went up.  Actually the mean reason is that i've been seeing my ATF way too many times, i should see more other provider but my ATF spoiled me, so i guess that's the mean reason.

I've seen the prices go up for top-end providers and then go up again much more frequently than I see them come down. Frankly when they're that popular, finding guys willing to pay the freight for their company is more the norm than the exception.

A much BETTER and more LOGICAL suggestion would be: CHEAPER PROVIDERS.

Some of us are actually nice people and while I obviously don't want a ton of emails from random nice guys offering to pay less (hence the alias) I really dont think it's a bad thing to be empathetic to ones financial situation.

A modest increase in rates will not deter me from reaching out.
But to be honest if the increase is excessive , like a few hundred bucks bump , I'll probably just wish her well and regret our paths never crossed.

So, you don't want an influx of these types of emails (the ostensible reason for the alias) yet you'll advise hobbyists to send those types of emails to providers? Hmmm.You're either a hobbyist or a rather conflicted hooker. LMAO

If I haven't seen a provider on my todo list, it is likely because:

Goodnight Asshole  

Yeah um, get off the pot and pay her rate or move on to another one you'll follow through with. It's that simple.

What about when you looking at a provider, but find multiple rates? I have had this happen, so just asked which site was current... Luckily, she was OK with this, and the date went well. Also once had a provider tell me that what I had seen was an old rate (after the fact) The new rate was not much more, so I happily ponied up the extra, but I can see how it could be a case of "sticker shock"...

Have read countless times on this board from providers, who think it is rude to "negotiate."  IMHO some providers who mention anything to do with the dynamics of pricing on this board is part reality, part marketing.

This is exactly what I am talking about in my post at the bottom of this thread.  Why not just agree you both have differing opinions?

Most likely A. Maybe B if the rate increase isn't too bad and she's a lady I want to see.

who do not care about extra 300 increase.

We just did. Except, unlike the other one, I stated my thoughts without resorting to swearing or ad hominem statements. I made assertions calmly and was able to state reasons for my thoughts. This is a discussion board and I am well with my rights to question a 'provider' encouraging the very behavior that 'she' uses an alias to prevent. You seem to think screaming "Asshole" is the better route. Since you insist:

little head do the thinking. "Should I or shouldn't I, yada yada yada.

Rare meaning once every couple of years. I just don't see the harm in making the man happy. There has been occasions when a man has gotten carried away. He asks me to bend on my hourly rate and then expects the world on top of it. That's the one thing that grinds my gears. So, if a woman agrees to lower her rate for you do not overstay your welcome, do not expect her to do it repeatedly, do not spread the word via back channel, do not think she is a doormat for being kind to you and DO park your ego at the door. Look at it this way... Giving you a discount is NOT a compliment.  

I missed her when she was on tour in my town at the  normal rate for the area. However, the next tour her rates nearly doubled. I went with A and I decided that I'd make a point to "not wait" anymore. Works for me!

...am I ? If she is above my ceiling price & I choose to pay that it will take me that much longer to save up for my next adventure, so it would be unusual for me to pay more than my top rate for any providers time & I never negotiate prices with providers.
