So, given these comments, what do you advise a lady say in the hypothetical event an ECCIE member calls her up, knows her advertised rates and then says he will see her, but she HAS to discount. When she asks how much, his reply is a number less than half her rate? (and we are talking a hypothetical GFE lady with hourly rates less than $200).

I don't ask for discounts myself, if I can't afford a particular provider at her stated rate then I just move on to someone more in my range until I feel that I can afford to splurge on that provider. I'd love to drive a Ferrari as my everyday vehicle but I own something more appropriate for my budget and lifestyle. You get what you pay for in life and as stated earlier by another poster if you can't afford playing in the hobby maybe the hypothetical gentleman has the wrong hobby. Just my .02 for what it's worth.
