I just had one a few hours ago and it was not particularly great. Every review she has is a 10 or a 9. I've been told I am on the big side, but this young lady is in the wrong business. One thing for sure, flashing some extra cash does not always equal an extra great date.
I've recently noticed that some TG providers devalue themselves by taking $60,$80 & $100 on BP. Then I was appalled when a potential hobbyist called my phone & I told him $200 & he responded "That's crazy expensive! I got 100 for 15 minutes." He was quickly introduced to the dial tone. I realize that we are in a recession but "seriously?" With rates like those BP will soon stand for Bargain Provider oppose to Backpage. I personally feel that $200 for a standard 30 minute or 1 hour session is fair & quite reasonable.(provided that the provider in the pic is actually the 1 who will answer the door and perform all FUNCTIONAL duties that she advertises.) I myself ask for 250 for a 30 minute session and $300 for a 1 hour session with outcalls within a 5 mile radius being $500.NON NEGOTIABLE! Considering the fact I have favorable reviews, an amazing body & quite a 10 inch commodity between my legs I realize I may be the exception. However, I would like to get feedback from hobbyists & providers on what is a reasonable rate in today's tortured economy.
I was in Denver last year, I had someone asked me for half hour, I usually don't meet for half hour because I don't like to rush and I like to take my time, but I took a chance, so I let this guy to meet for half hour which was $200 at that time, when he arrived to the hotel, I asked him again to make sure that the half hour rate would be no talking and very little conversation, so we got into the business right away, it took me awhile to get hard because as I said I don't like rush, then I had to watched the clock since I always overtime.. lol, 35 mins later, I told him it's been a half hour, he said ok gave me 5 minutes, so I said ok, then 45 mins later he asked me to do this and that, I told him he came here for half hour and 45 mins later he still not done, he said, ok I will finish soon, I said no, sorry, I'm being nice to you and you taking advantage of me, you have to go...he didn't even offered me more donation, he just kept asking for more...at the end, the session was last for 50 mins maybe more...and I have to ban him..LOL, he was nice but I don't like when someone take advantage of the situation.
I would not do half hour again, and to be honest, I'm more into someone with nice personality and respectful, as long as they asked nicely, I would still see them for half hour, but most of the time, those who called asking for half hour ussually are not asking with respect. I know I'm a whore, but high class whore...hahah, I treat people the way I want to be treated..
Much Love!
Since there is no government regulation on how much is the reasonable rate for providers by today economy, I would say, you can make yourself reasonable, do not feel threaten or upset by those providers who offers $100 or less because they would get different clients than those providers who offers $250 or more. In my opinion the rate should be base on how much your service and your time worth, especially when you travel, you spend a lot of money for hotel, flight, food and the effort to carry luggage everywhere!
Also it's very important to meet clients who really into you, because those are the people who would appreciate you and your rate, keep your chin up and be confidence, I think confidence is everything! I know looks and physical beauty are very important for us, but at the end what's inside is matters!
Happy Halloween Sis!
Thank u for that empowering message.
I think you should keep your fees at a respectable rate. I would never ask for a half hour because I like to enjoy the visit and take my time. If you are having fun an hour goes quickly anyway. I try to make the person feel appreciated and one way to ruin that is to try and be cheap. Keep your fees at the level of a classy provider and the good guys will follow you! I hope you come to my town soon![]()
These days, my hobbying has been pretty limited, but when I do, my personal upper limit is $300 for an hour, no more. I simply can't afford more than that, at least not on a regular or even semi-regular basis. I don't begrudge providers like Rachel in Chicago for their higher rates; from what I've read of her various exploits, it seems more than worth it. But it still puts someone like her out of my comfort zone. Now, if I happen to win the lottery... ![]()
Generally, though, I stay far away from the el-cheapos on Backpage. If you're willing to spend $100 or less for a BP provider, you're gonna get exactly what you paid for, which is usually two things: jack and squat. A "high-volume whore" (which, let's face it, is what most of those el-cheapo BP girls are) isn't worth the time, money, or risk.
Brooke, stick to your guns and your donation table. It sounds very fair to me.
and Brooke your rates seem reasonable to me...
I agree sometimes I can't help but wonder why so many hobbyists or the el cheapos have such a disrespect for the hobby to try and milk a girl(NO PUN) for a full session for a mere $100. My cable bill isn't even that cheap!LOL

It is your right to charge whatever the market demands. For quality girls seems like $250 to $300 is the going rate. Some charge a premium, which in my view is their prerogative. The VIP rate kind of throws me if it is not apparent what the VIP premium includes. Some girls are very clear what VIP entails and I'm totally cool with that.
The problem for the quality women is there are so many fakes out there right now. It is crazy in Boston how many suspicious ads are on backpage and Eros. So as a hobbyist, it is almost never worthwhile to take a chance because of all the fakes.
My two cents.
The saying goes "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"! Last year I saw Karen Cummings in Phoenix and she told me her rate was $500 for the hour, I told her that I would give her $700 for the hour and I had an amazing session, if she ever travels to Florida I will see her for 2 hours, she is well worth it!
Usually a provider asks for $200 and if I know I'm going to have a good time I will give $300. Guys I know we are in a recession but you can't be cheap with the provider because she will be cheap and rushed with you. As for those that charge only $60, $80, or $100 you have to wonder how many other hobbyist they have seen that day? Personally I would never even entertain the thought of seeing someone who charges under $150. Earlier this year I even had an argument with a certain provider who was charging me $150 for the hour and after having an awesome session I gave her $250, and I told her you should never devalue yourself like this, you look incredible, you gave a great session, it's worth more than that. She told me that I was the first person she had seen this year, and it was already February 17th!
dates too. I'm a GFE fan though, and a really good GFE date is well worth that. I sometimes go with an outcall to my place for ladies I've seen before, and when I do, I expect to compensate her for the drive, usually that's another 50 or so. Adding an extra $200 for a 5 mile radius outcall is a little much, imo.
I see your point...BUT....the way I see it is you are paying for the comfort of not having to leave your home. Also factoring in the fact that I will be getting myself extra dolled up.(First impression is everything!) Think of it like this. I once stayed at a hotel in NYC that charged me $10 for a simple breakfast of 2 pancakes and eggs and bacon in the restaurant. One day I decide for room service and the same exact meal was $35 plus a 15% gratuity!! (not including the $4.99 for orange juice!) All because I didn't wanna get up off my beautiful curvy ass. lol. Comfort can be costly.
BTW......it seems as though you may have been a little contradictory by saying you've been known to pay 5&6 hundred dollar but me asking for $500 for an outcall is a bit much? lol. I'm just trying to get some clarification & understanding that's all.
Normally, $300 is an average price range for the dates I have. That is for a 1 hour incall, with a date I'm assuming is going to be GFE. If I invite you over to my home for a date, I don't have a problem compensating the lady for her time and drive. NYC is different then where I am at, but $200 different?
The 5-6 hundred dollar range dates I mention happen maybe 1 in 12 dates, and are for ladies who have pages of 10 reviews for looks and performance. So far, every one has been awesome. I'd do them more if I could, but there is a big difference between the two. Adding 200 bucks for a 5 mile taxi ride is on the high side. If that's the deal in NYC, another reason why I'll be heading to Boston next time I feel like going east instead of LA, or Vegas.
Well as you may know everything is crazy expensive here on the eastcoast. Here is how I see it......I prefer to do incalls because I'm in the comfort of familiar settings. Outcalls are NOT on my top list of preferences. I try to discourage or avoid them if can. Overall it gives the hobbyist more control and comfort in the situation. So if 200 bucks more is a big deal here's a suggestion...save yourself the money and come see me by all means!!! I generally tell guys all the time if you are penny pinching or a hobbyist on a budget it's ridiculous to spend the extra 200 when all you need to do is get up off your ass & see me. That simple. LOL.

Although I enjoy an hour or more with GG dates, lately I've come to appreciate TS providers who provide half hour rates. My tendency is to bottom for hung tops and I'm good after 20 mins of pounding. If you are hosting in a nice and clean location, your 250/300 split is fair. I've paid a few dollars more for PSE. I'm impressed that some providers are able to increase thier rates in this economy but their reputations and consistency are spotless. In any business, lowering prices in a down market should be a last resort. I'm always impressed with providers that focus on details that always leaves a lasting impression; ie. one provider kept a chilled towel in a ice bucket and wiped me down after the session before heading for the shower, another had cold water and offered mint/gum on my way out, another nice touch is having a folded bath towel near the basin for my use. Find ways to enhance your experience before lowering fees.
There is no recession for those who are good, because good things are hard to find LOL
I don't think I've seen a provider who does 30 minute sessions. My assumption of a 30 minute session is that it's BJ only.
I just don't see the point of a 30 minute session - I would hate to have to limit the foreplay and kissing and skip showering and cuddling afterward. Or a second (or third) round. Or with a vers partner, each take a turn on top and a turn on bottom.
Even if I'm not going for GFE and am down for a slam-bam pounding from a hung top, I still have to let my pulse come back to normal and shower afterwards.
And I would feel horribly rude if I stayed 45 minutes on a 30-min fee.
Better to go for a longer time commitment and, even if you only spend 20 minutes enjoying some hardcore action, you can still be out the door in 50-75 minutes without anyone feeling rushed or like you overstayed your welcome.
Do the high dollar ladies expect tips or is the price all inclusive? Personally, I would rather pay $200 and if the session is a 6 or above pay an extra $100. Unfortunately some providers don't provide much service once they have the money.
though most gents after a session with me do give me a gratuity, I don't expect a tip or even attempt an up~charge, except for Fetish play or training like GS or nectar on command...funny how many gents expect nectar with only a 1 hour session or when on tour(how am I to work for the rest of the day? can't you cum all day and the super hard cock those who pay their hard earned money expect?), when they should be happy that they are getting deep French kissing, showers before & after the UN~RUSHED rendezvous(why I mostly do sessions that range from 2+ hours to days), choice of beverages, Nasty Pig sheets, fresh towels, men's toiletries/grooming items(can't go home smelling like a woman), Listerine and a truly fully functional BBC in a safe and elegant upscale locale without someone hiding in the bathroom or closet
my rate had been the same for the almost 5 years I have been in this industry and finally the agency decided that after being ranked #1 reviewed TS, first TS to be in the Top 100, and the #1 over~all provider in Chicago, I needed to have a rate that was still not over the top, but reflective of the standards of elegance I try to maintain...ask around; young or old, thin or fat, handsome or not I will treat you as you deserve...a VIP(or an unworthy cock slut; if you seek the Domina in me)...dfk, Rachel
I couldn't agree with you more. Stay classy and your fans will follow you. We appreciate the little things you mentioned.
I had my cap set (crush) on a certain semi-famous L.A. provider who charges $500 VIP. She has "glowing" reviews on TER also, mostly based on her beautiful looks...
I was not only prepared to dig deep for 3-4 VIP hours, I was willing to drive 400+ miles just to meet her(!!).
Now, any reasonable woman would consider going through all that flattering at minimum. Guess what?. I have contacted her 3 times by phone this year, and each time I was treated like lower than dirt, and mind you, I am cultured, intelligent, polite and a complete gentleman at all times (except when I'm in a physical fight of course). In short, I gave her no reason for such a disproportunate reaction...Therefore
Show me real turned off. I will be in LA later this month with lots of green in my hand, some is already reserved for a sure thing, a beautiful sweetheart I treat like an Empress that appreciates such and I know will treat me right...
Will Ms. Gorgeous with a stinkin' Bad Attitude get any of my hard-earned greenbacks?. Will the little head overcome the larger logical reasoning head?..Stay tuned, Kids...
