"Rates"... Up for discussion....

Well damn, I know I haven't lost my mind!! Baby had a reply right above mine, whoosh... it's gone 🤔

Probably flagged as an ad. She talked about a special rate in it.

I truly think she(Baby)is one of the Greats across the State, but I can't handle that $400 mark.

I generally prefer a $200-300 per hour and perhaps a little price break for 2 hrs or more. In a lot of situations I've observed if you stay in that price range both provider and client can be well served. I remember in DC I was stupidly paid $500 an hr. She was incredible looking. Definitely could have been a Victoria's Secret model. She was also one of the worst experiences even though I bought the expensive specific wine she wanted! On the other hand,I had $150 an hr. middle aged provider in Huntsville who was the best I've ever had ( I probably saw her 20 times in a couple of years).
I ramble, but simply say it's not as simple as you get what you pay for..

I have to disagree with some of the sentiments posted here.

This business involves a service not a commodity. That means that you ultimately get what you pay for. Of course it may vary somewhat for different providers or with clients, but you consistently will get a better experience at higher rates like $250-$300/hr than at $150/hr.

The real question is whether you are satisfied with a $150/hr experience. Many are and there is nothing wrong with that. For me, I definitely prefer one higher end “rock your world” session for the price of several ones that are just “ok”.

Being willing to pay more means that I can get what I want, when I want it and with who I want. It may take some time and research to find a provider that suits me, but i believe it is worth it.

What these ladies don't realize is there inflated rates are causing the hobby as a whole to dry up.

It’s not about how much you pay but more about who you pick to be with. $200 an hour is the number right now—most of these pricier girls have pimps,,that’s why the service is less then expected—$200 plus equals management girls and not better service.

Hey gentlemen I have adjusted my rates a couple of times based on feedback that I have gotten from all of you. I offer a relaxed no rush visit and do not clock watch and MSOG is ok with me. I have found that not all gentlemen want to pay 200 plus so I am finding that just under that is what works in my area. I have all good reviews. There are very few that I am finding that are willing to pay 2 plus although I am told by you I should be charging a higher donation and that I am worth it. In the Huntsville area you just are not going to get it on a consistent basis. Does that mean that you will not get quality service from me because I will give you a rate that is under 200 no it does not. There are several on here that I haven't seen and some that I have seen when I first got back in the hobby a few months back before I got my feet good and wet again and may or may not have gotten what they expected but would hope if they did not that they would come for a repeat visit. I have gotten my feet wet again and back to my old hot and wet provider self so the service I provide is more of my true self than a few months ago. I guess what I am saying is that just because someone does not charge 2 plus does not mean they do not provide the service of that level of provider it just might mean that due to location they cannot charge that and pay the bills. For what it is worth that is my thoughts.
Hope to see more of you soon.

Hmmm... it's interesting to see that only 4% of the responses so far are from the perspective of women.

I totally respect that clients have a budget cap of how high of a rate they'll pay for a session. Though, what is considered high or low is relative. And while it is common to see many clients expressing that they will not pay any more than 250 or 300, there are also some who don't favor paying any less than 300 or 400 or 500 for an hour session. (More likely that's in other regions of the U.S.)

My main concern regarding rates is when judgement and assumptions are projected onto companions based on how we set our rates. And what really stews my peas is being pitched to negotiate. There is such a diverse array of providers to choose from, there is just no need to slide into anyone's PM to declare her rates exceed X budget when time and energy could have been saved all around by inquiring with a more compatible provider.

I am brand new to the hobby, but figure I'd offer my two cents, FWIW

IMO and judging by Non-Alabama forums I think it ultimately boils down to supply and demand just like anything else. As for me personally, I will ALWAYS prefer at least a 1-hour visit because I enjoy the company/interactions and I am kinda shy. But who knows down the road!

Anything more than 275-300/hour is also (again IMO) too much unless you are a provider that is constantly booked solid or have a unique talent. Take Montgomery, AL for instance and my personal preference of spinners/close to a spinner and there really aren't many options at all! Now, I do refuse to use Backpage and/or go to a run-down hotel where it is not a discreet experience so I do think 275/300 is fair. I also cannot drive too far from my location because of children in school. If something were to happen I would be screwed as I do not have family here in AL. Anyways, take my opinion for what it's worth...I am just fresh meat and still learning the ropes

CrystalClassyLady: I have noticed your catering to the clientele /interactions in my short time on here and have to say I am truly impressed.

LenaDuvall: I agree wholeheartedly with your response in that haggling/negotiations aren't fair. I look at the rates of a provider and if it looks too high it could be a good thing! But at the same time, if I see 1,000/hour like one provider in Dallas I giggle to myself and keep it moving.


Good topic OP!!!

I would have to disagree with that as far as my own personal experience goes typically girls who are in the 120 to 150 range for an hour tend to be high-volume providers with a recreational issue that they're trying to support often the reason they have these issues is because they are under management with a pimp or Handler. Not all the girls at that rate are a bad date or have a problem but at that price point you're going to find more trouble than not. For me the true sweet spot I would say is 200 I have gone higher then that but for me these days 300 is my absolute top out. MJ

Thank you italia1313 I try my best to insure that my clients are completely satisfied when they leave a visit with me. Maybe we can meet one day.

I dont mind paying for a good experience. However, my first ever $250hr was skurry as fuck. I learned a lesson there. But all the girls I am talking to about booking right now are all in the 250-300 range. And one day after I get more girls under my belt, I'm gonna spring $400 for Baby if she will have me. So honestly, if the visit is worth the money, I'm ok with it. But I can't FREQUENT anything stouter than 300.

I know I am a newbie and I guess am considered a risk to some providers being so new, but I would much rather pay $250-300 for an independent provider than roll the dice with one on Backpage/other sites alike and take the risk of being robbed/scammed etc.
