I meant no disrespect and certainly did not want to stereotype you or any ladies charging much less. A lady has every right to charge $50 - $5,000. The mother hen in me came out and wanted to assert that I feel ladies in San Antonio could probably charge a lot more, that's all. Maybe I just instill my belief in everyone's potential.
In your case, you are also a beautiful and intelligent woman from what I was able to gather from your response to me. All of your points have a lot of validity, so I am so proud of you for breaking down various scenarios about rates. In my case, I have been known to charge much less than what my initial hourly rate is for repeat clients, birthday clients and I have a military baby in his twenties who recently came back from Iraq, wrote me a letter about his struggles fighting in times of war and I charged him $160 and gave him 2 hours. It made his year and he writes me often as a pen pal.
I do think $200.00 is the norm in San Antonio and I when I researched the market a week ago, I was alarmed by the dramatic drop in rates, that's all. The ladies charging in the thousands could easily be a hit/miss. So, your point about their services/appearance/atmosphere could possibly be less, the same or better than mine. Ladies charging $100 - $200 hour could certainly offer those same exceptional services, but quality of life might go down for those ladies because they give so much of themselves and charge a lot less than I do. There are so many risks, so I am sort of your mini-cheerleader/advocate of exploring the prospect of increasing rates. It's all very subjective. Ladies offering exceptional services such as yourself should definitely be recognized and if I were a gentleman visiting you or any other lady who I felt should be charging more, I'd likely leave a nice tip.
I know you are pretty new to the hobby and I am happy to be a mentor or give out any advice if you need it. Since you are new, your rates might reflect more of an introductory/get to know Jez rate, so it's okay to keep them low while building clientele gradually increasing them. When I began in SATX, I was $180.00/hour and that was actually well below what most girls were charging one year ago. I grandfathered all of my SATX clients into that rate as a token of my appreciation.
Again, no disrespect, J. You earned my respect with your intelligent, rational assessment and insight.
By the way, I will disagree with you about the hotels. You can not find a nice 4-star hotel for under $200. I promise you this because I stay in them often all over the nation. In San Antonio, with tax and valet, a really nice hotel is definitely $260 - $280. 3 star hotels are around $150-$180 and I am trying to book in those more often because they are very close to the more expensive hotels without the hefty $200+ price tag. Last year, I did get the hook-up in the Presidental suite! It was amazing

AA, First I think that you are a gorgeous woman and seem very intelligent. But to make such a generalized statement about girls in that price range seems a little stereotypical. That is around my rates, and I choose those rates due to the SA market. And when I visit else where I go to those rates. But does that mean the service I provide is any less quality .... There are many girls here that are in that price range and are very well reviewed for their above average efforts to please our dates.
Just for a second, lets consider two types of men. First you have the guy where money isn't an issue and probably isn't going to be for a long time. Him paying 3-500 isn't much at all. He doesn't care, thats pocket change. You get your rate, he gets you. Both are happy.
Second, the guy that works hard to pull together that 150-200 for that one hobby date he can take once every 2 months. Does he deserve less because he wasn't as blessed as man A to have financial ease? I don't think so. I am flattered that saving here and there and he PICKS me!
So these men may not be choosing girls in the 150 range because they don't care about the service!
I have only been doing this for a relatively short time, and I am learning more and more everyday. But I have several several reviews .. all outstanding. So, please in future do not assume that if a woman charges less for her time that she is not as good as you. I have seen girls around that charge 1100-1500/hr Does that mean she is better quality than you? I wouldn't think so. As for high or low volume... yes because my rates are in the "average" area my phone does ring alot. Does that mean I take them? Absolutely not..
And by the way a 4-5 star hotel is going to be more than 150 a night....
Good luck to you, and once I again I mean no disrespect. You are absolutely gorgeous and are worth more than whatever you chose your rates to be... just as all of us woman are.
With reguards,
Jezabelle
