To answer the question in the title someone who doesn't think that what they charge makes them better than anyone else.

Like 'premium', 'high class' is marketing speak for 'expensive', but in both cases there's a belief out there that it also means 'better'. A few minutes looking at a review site (or remembering the phase men's lifestyle magazines went through a few years ago of paying the costs of a member of their staff to book someone for an article) would prove otherwise in terms of the client experience.

From the escort's point of view, you are going to see far fewer clients with an expensive persona, but that's what some people want.

So, yes, if you want to create PrincessKate to go alongside MissKylie, go for it. (Photo editing software makes it a lot easier to appear flawless on a website, of course.) Just don't rely on it for all your income and don't buy into the 'better' myth.

Personnally I love a bit of healthy debate. One thing most of us seem to agree on is that its to do with using marketing in a certain way. Whether you agree or diagree with certain definitions is up to the individual. After all it'd be a pretty boring world if we all agreed with each other!

Total twaddle re 'high class' just 'big egos' ........................................

Have you got anything against high class escorts? Or have I misread you.

I have NOTHING against prostitutes, not even ones who call themselves High Class, I just think they are females who are feeding their own egos and not necessarily 'high class'.  That was all I meant.

I know a femme who calls herself 'high class' ............... charges ?60 for 30 mins (with special offers cheaper) ............. and who has a ticket on herself and if you really know her (I do) she is anything but a 'Lady' and I don't believe intelligence is a must - though it does help at times to be able to carry out a decent conversation ................ but what is classed as decent conversation.  Everyone has a favourite topic ................ mine being sport - football or snooker but would a guy realise I knew anything about sport ............. I dont know, others may want to talk about politics and I can't think of anything more boring - infact  I voted for the first time in 30+ years last week, so I think that sorta proves my point.

Like Mellow says, a good healthy debate is good, so long as no one takes it personally.

There are so many different connotations that can

There is certainly a market for the 1,500 a couple hours booking. They may only do 2 bookings a week but make a nice living. These girls are not older than 30, tall, flawless and with perfect slim figures ( the 1,500 an hour hooker has a short life spam unfortunately). They tend to be models (as in: real models), playboy bunnies or wanna-be actresses who've been on a couple movies. And yes, they dress to the 9's (meaning: they spend A LOT of money on expensive and designer clothes) and grooming in general. So yes, they exist. But they're still on their knees giving head in exchange for money at the end of the day and sometimes doing some very humilliating stuff as the problem with paying so much is that guys feel entitled to anything (that includes BB). I don't think that means "having more class" than the average WG who charges less.

Still...2,000 for 2 hours would be niiiiceeee...

Pussycat you have misunderstood the reference to egos, at least in the posts from myself and lady lust.  We are both clearly talking about the egos of the clients

Personnally I think its both unnecessary and unpleasant to say that any wgs on this forum may have a chip on their shoulders, just because we may have an opinion that differs from yours

Mellow - this was the post I was referring to regarding girls who call themselves high class having big egos.

Plus when I have read girls who refer to themselves as high class being labelled 'delusional' amongst other things in other threads then I am entitled to give my opinion back. I completely understood the point about feeding the clients ego, and haven't disputed or given my opinion on that, but feeding my ego...no!

I'd love love love to charge ?1000 ph if I thought I could get away with it 

I agree with those who have said it's nothing to get worked up about - it's just a marketing tool / google search optimization.

I guess if you charge average rates you will open your services to a bigger market, but have to work for longer hours to get the same amount of cash as someone who charges really high rates and is marketing themselves to the richer punters (and in my experience, richer does not mean more respectful). Some people (me included) like to be kept busy though and don't have patience to wait for the big money bookings to come through. The effort and money you would have to put into your appearance is a consideration too, for e I can't be arsed  but if you are someone who takes great care of having a flawless appearance anyway in general then it would be easier to maintain.

We are all doing the same thing at the end of the day, I don't have a problem with anything anyone writes / advertises to optimize their income. It's sort of like putting "best blow job in the whole area!" on your profile (I've seen loads of profiles say this) - obviously we don't KNOW we give the best blow job n the area, we are just writing it to focus on our strengths and pull in the clients.

Does anyone else have a problem with charging high rates because they are afraid that clients will be more easily 'disappointed' or be expecting a devine, earth-shattering climax because they have paid so much and be disappointed? I've always kept my rates average and offered shorter bookings because I have always had a bit of a complex about living up to "the hype" that higher rates suggests?

I recently upped my rates by ?50 per hour and had those same concerns. The amount of jobs I get has gone down, however, I get more longer bookings now. I changed agencies from a ?200p/h one to a ?250-?400p/h one, and their clients are very different from each other. I was worried that clients would wonder what justified the hike in price, but I felt I'd naturally grown as an escort, after a few years service! My old regulars still come back, and so far I've had no comments about the price increase. I felt expectations would be greater, but from having met ?200 and ?300 girls there really isn't a great deal of difference between some, although the agencies I'm with now market themselves slightly differently form the cheaper one, and I have more in common with the girls now than at my old one. it's just about finding the price you are happy with, and the clientele. The final straw for me with my old agency was when a client wrote in a review that I 'have a stuck up my a*** attitude', and complained about me being 'posh' (I'm have a subtle Geordie accent, never heard it being called posh before!), and the manager of that agency hinted I should dumb down a bit, and told me I had to lose weight if I was charging ?200, so I took my 'posh' Geordie accent and 'fat' backside off to become a 'high class' hooker elsewhere 

I can only speak from agency experience of increasing prices, as I have always been this rate as an independent. I think clients have their own set price brackets and deviate within them, so if it's a small increase that you're considering going up by then I'd say go for it and see how it goes, maybe telling regulars you'll still be the old price for them. The way I think about it is that in the past I've had good hairdressers who have gone up a level in their salon and charge more, and if I like them I'll happily pay that bit extra. There will always be those who believe that they get better quality if they pay more, which we know is not true in this line of work, then you'll get the savvy clients who do their research and seek out the gems who are great escorts who charge less. It's the same with clothes, I'm sure we all know someone who thinks the more they pay the better they get.x
