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.

It personally helps me to be able to have a moan..
I dont have anyone else to speak to..
saafe is a place where i can get things off my chest..and not take my frustrations out on the next innocent customer..
So i dont feel its pointless moaning about WANKER BANKERS.x

You made some interesting points, Snake Lady, and thanks for posting, I enjoyed reading them. But as has already been said, it all depends on the context and some approaches that suit some escorts doesn't invalidate other approaches suiting others.

Personally, I have reduced my rates slightly in the recent months because I tended to feel sorry for some of the punters paying me all that money out of their ?8 an hour salaries and honestly the discrepancy between what they paid for me and what they get paid themselves became slightly disturbing for me. So I decided to make myself more accessible to medium and under-medium income punters. But no, I don't like either the bargain hunting types who are just looking for getting it as cheap as possible, and whenever I sense this sort of attitude I decline seeing the individual altogether.

That being said, I do have a gripe with prostitutes pushing themselves as "high class" because of, as has already been said, the implication that they're somehow superior and that others are of lower class, quality or whatever. To counteract this, I market myself as "your high class/elite/model etc escort, but without the high prices! ".

after meeting my initial SD and getting my current day job everything kind of panned out nicely, my confidence increased majorly, I lost weight, started taking care of myself, met a different circle of people. My SD and I parted ways and I started meeting men I previously met in my work environment. Then their friends, through word of mouth. I never actually established a fixed price- I got my first large sum after dinner with the first guy I met on an escort basis. We had an amazing time and he was flying off somewhere very early in the morning so we just left it at that. He just slipped me a cheque into my hand as we parted and I didn't check the amount until I was in the taxi on my way home. I almost flipped when I saw the 2k there! I think after that the word spread and that was about the same amount I received from my further clients. Dinner only happened a few times though, usually sex and a days or nights company was what they were looking for but I rarely got less than the initial grant for any type of meeting after that.
Maintaining that level constantly is much too demanding for my sanity though, I couldn't do it EVERY DAY or have an agency expect this from me day in day out.
