Interesting debate and I'm pleased to see that this thread hasn't been locked. (There is hope for SAAFE).
What hasn't yet been mentioned is how earning lots from a booking makes us feel. Well, I'd say it feels absolutely great! Shame I haven't had enough lucrative bookings to make a living of as yet. But this is why I never look down on ladies who dare to be expensive. On the contrary I think we should celebrate them and be supportive of each other when we wish to do the same.
I don't think that clients who pay little, average or a lot "get the same thing". Because we're not things. We're humans. Humans who offer up our sexual arousal (or lack thereof) and entrance into our cunts. That's priceless - regardless of how bad/well the market is doing or what the competition, our looks or ages are like.I know that a client gets the best from me when I get handsomely paid. It lifts my spirits and boosts my sexual enjoyment to be with him. What more can he possibly want? It keeps escorting exciting and keeps any sexual and/or emotional burnouts at bay. None of which to be underestimated.
Too many posts focuses on having immaculate wardrobes, figures and manners to be high class/big bucks escorts. I think we're forgetting something here - our genuine (and sexual) enjoyment of seeing a client. Something which the smarter guy happily pays a bit of money for rather than scouring the net for the cheapest deal. Since his enjoyment relies heavily on how excited I am by seeing him. Which is also why price haggling is such a turn off.
As for being "good at what we do", let's not forget this: our enjoyment comes first. That's right, ladies. Ladies come first. Intelligent men understand this, wankers don't. Because sex is
always a two way street - even though we get paid. Money is a compensation for not having involvement in each others private lives. Money is not an excuse to do whatever to my body and expect me to do things that I don't enjoy. Don't let punterboards tell you otherwise. Escorting is not just about men's needs. It is as much about
our needs, if not more. Because if I don't get pleased then neither will he. And one way of pleasing me is by paying me nicely. Other ways is by treating me like a lady at all times - and I'll treat him like a king. It's a two way street. Which is why it's pointless to fret about men who displease us. (That includes review writers and punterboards).
Too many posts go on about "arrogant banker wankers" etc. I've seen enough arrogant farmers and lorry drivers than I wish to count. Given the choice between spending an hour with arrogant Mr Rich for say ?200+ profit or 20 min with arrogant Joe Poor for paltry ?30 - then I'll have the rich one, thank you. If for no other reason than because I get better compensated for their arsholedom.
Although personally, I find that clients who pay more usually behave better than those who pay less. Or maybe I'm just better at screening the undesirables out from my own bookings. You say that the more a guy pays the more he expects? I'm not convinced. In brothels they expected the earth for paltry ?60 (of which you're lucky to keep ?40 of). Same went for expecting OWO etc and yup, we had requests for BB too...
Whereas on the very rare occasion where I had (at least in my view) big bucks from a booking I was treated like a princess. And I would wish it on every single one of you (if even from just one well off client).
As for Heather Mills not being classy, let's put it this way - I'd have loved to earn ?10000 per night from Arabs if ever I was given a chance. And I wouldn't say no to her divorce settlement either (although personally I couldn't justify deceiving men for any kind of cash). Classy or not - she could teach us a thing or two.
Which reminds me of another quality which hasn't yet been mentioned: confidence. I think what sets us apart from ladies who dare to charge more (and expect more) is their belief that they deserve it. That belief stems from confidence. And if there is one thing that most of us find sexually irresistible, then it's confident people who know what they want. I think this goes for both sexes. Which could be why some men would rather pay more for high class escorts than just any escort who tries to play nice by being average.
