Bumping Old Review Threads

[Chloe]

I agree with the no rate listed, if fact I encourage my clients if they write a review to not write the donation amount these are my reasons . . .

My rates are different for multiple reasons traveling rates, grandfathered rates, spoiled regular rates, anniversary specials ect ect . . . this leads to issues of guys NOT asking the rate and then leaving a donation that was grandfathered to a client I have been seeing since I started, or ran a special for and reviewed and then an awkward conversation at the appointment.

Another reason is that we are not allowed to list rates anywhere here, in ads or in our showcase, but a guy can give a full out account of explicit sexual acts and write that he paid x amount for it in a review? Granted there is a disclaimer stating that everything on here is ficticious stories but personally to me it makes no sense.

That's why I have a website. My regulars and I have an understanding. My rate as yours Chloe depends on many factors. I am also starting to give people "loyalty" discounts. I also give discounts for dinner dates and multiple hours. If I am traveling I must cover my overhead so the rate is higher. All of these factors could really confuse someone without a website to reference. I also never ever want to have an awkward rate conversation. And I never want to have the haggler "let's make a deal conversation". Yuck!

If it's a first visit especially, you wonder, "How do I say this so the woman doesn't think I'm LE?".

If it's a repeat visit, I find the conversation simply awkward. Of course I want to know in advance and I want her to know I know in advance so that there's no miscommunication/misunderstanding leading to weird feelings; but, it's still a messy part of it all.

Im personally ok with being asked my rates, to me thats normal, I run a service that charges an hourly rate.. you should ask if you're unsure. its the asking of specific service that screams LE or a dumb ass..



I just dont understand why we cant list rates.. they can be listed in a review but not an ad..? Whats the difference.. I dont get it..

Hate is such a strong term.

I have no doubt. And if i was one of the in-it-for-the-variety kind of guys here, well, let's just say i love love love your avatar.

Awe Doove.

Variety is good sometimes, you just might like it.
