The reality of high-end escorting

[discreetgent]

I don't think it is quite that simple. While the goal of a gal might be to have a small number of regulars they are still interested in the occasional new appointment - even if it is a one or two time thing. A lady, who is not on this board, once explained to me that she had anywhere from 3-5 regulars who took up the bulk of her time. When she saw a new gent she viewed it not as just another appointment but as an audition, so to speak, for a new regular when one of the current ones decided to move on.

Wouldn't it be more straightforward to simply state on your website that you are only interested in men with an income > $X and interested in an ongoing arrangement?

Oh god no, that would be awful. Anyone that has contacted me with the express interest of having an arrangement from the start has been a total mess. Being in an arrangement with someone I can't sincerely enjoy would be an express ticket to abject misery.

Like any long term relationship, there has to be a period of courtship. Who wants to date a woman who talks about marriage from their first meeting? That's very much how I feel about it. I want to connect without expectations, looking to have fun. Then over time if we realize something really good has developed and we want to keep it, that's the time to discuss an arrangement.

Besides, your suggestions would likely lead to exclusivity requests. I can't stand the power imbalance of such relationships, when someone is your only support they start abusing it - power breeds corruption.

Worse yet, he moves on emotionally, or his life forces him to move on - then what? Starting from scratch each time isn't very appealing. Any time I've lost an arrangement it takes me eight months to a year and a half to meet someone and get to know each other well enough that we both think it's something that would be mutually gratifying.

Now I use a pool of three, which gives greater stability. Even so, I end up with 2 new sex partners every year.)

Hilariously amusing: three does seem to be the magic number. I have come to this conclusion and heard of other arrangement based companions and polyamorous civi people say it!!!

So wouldn't that be a failure in your rate system to remove someone from the pool with whom you would prefer not to be intimate? If you'd simply list what $X is, and it were greater than my income, I would self-deselect even if your rates were within my scope. The self-deselection would serve to guarantee a pool more compatible with your mate-choice preferences.

If a gent can afford frequent dates based on my website, then he can afford X. Frequent dates come first, to ensure compatibility and sincerity, talking about an arrangement comes later.

mmmm love simple and to the point


But good read @ OP Naomi4u's c&p'ed (copied & pasted) starting post.

It can't be a hard threshold; it is really something like a disposable income threshold, or a money-for-the-hobby threshold, and these are related to preferences as well as to annual income. Some clients with the same income are willing to spend a larger fraction of that income on their hobby. I am sure the hourly rate and other aspects make it fairly clear to potential customers if they are willing and able to become a client.

I had an arrangement one time with a provider who wanted everything in writing - a contract. So, I played around with her on this idea. She drew it up and it was very detailed and explicit. What we would do, how often, where, etc. The whole time I was just cracking up. Often we would run across a situation and I would say we need to address that in the contract. I just wanted to keep it light and say...I'll will give you X per month and you take care of me. She wanted a contract. Well, it just didn't work out....she did not like being held to the terms of the contract that she wanted and drew up. So, I think it's always best to settle up each time.

Regarding High End Providers.....just because you pay more, doesn't mean you get more nor that it is better. Class, style, character, performance are not always included in the price.

i met someone..she was down to earth and interesting and cute...but most of all..she said i was handsome..lol..so we just talked...

so anyway i saw her again in a casual setting and i gave her $500 and said..maybe one day i will call you, or maybe you will take this and never see me again

so about a month and a half went by and i called her... she went out of her way for me , we never discussed business and now shes in my head...

some business models work for me and some dont

I was once asked by a provider friend if I knew the difference between a $350/hour escort and a $1500/hour escort. When I replied that I did not, she told me there really is NO difference. The difference, she explained, is there are only $350/hour and $1500/hour CLIENTS.
