Depends.
I always like 1.5hr minimum date.
So, that isn't the low amount for play.
But i'll tell you, with Angelina Adams last post, I wouldn't mind stepping up. Just the volume (I suspect) of people knocking on her door keeps me from wanting to wait in line.
My limit is typically $ for a HH. I don't know if I've been over it but I'm not averse to doing so on rare occasions. I haven't seen an ECCIE Provider in some time but I may soon so I might be going over my limit.
I was just thinking for that reason, and also because of another post about BP, which made me wonder if those guys are cheaper than we are, or if they spend more?
There's nothing wrong with trying to find a reasonable donation for good companionship...imho. When I think of *cheap* I think of someone who haggles our rates even when we advertise specials.
I think the .5 to is a comfortable range, if the experience is worth it. I once spent $25 on a really, really good cup of coffee, so obviously to me some things are worth the extra value. There was a crazy time in Vegas once with a 10+ where I broke the bank, but I won't discuss. I think if rates would float around the .5/hr range providers would see more return business. Just my .02
J/K. The amount I am willing to spend is dependent on the quality of service I intend on receiving. Like everything else in life, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
I think its impossible to have a set limit across the board; I'd be willing to pay the extra coin for some providers; then there may be some providers I feel aren't worth worth the coin they are asking for
