If it is in a message I probably won't reply. Or just something like:

They are what they are.

Are they?

And yet, enough clients are willing to pay.


Don't argue. Or try to justify them. Especially face to face. There just isn't an answer or sensible conversation to have about that.

"Go get it cheaper then... enjoy"

I just block haggling bellends straight off, bound to be a pain in the room  :-\

I’d say maybe you should stay at home and have a wank then?

I don’t get this. They’re literally having sex with a stranger that they probably would never have the opportunity of ‘pulling’ in their personal life. Why should offering your body to someone be cheap? I’d rather work in Tesco. Some people make me sick - I had someone the other day that was like how much to just play with your feet for 10 mins? He got sent my price list, of course I never heard from him again! ::)

This job isn’t like any other job out there. You’re having sex with a stranger. You might offer a niche service. We have to put up with a lot of shit from people like bad hygiene, timewasters and worse cases physical abuse. And some have the cheek to ask for cheaper prices? It really pisses me off. If some providers didn’t offer everything for nothing like it’s a charity shop, then we wouldn’t have knobs like this. But what can you do !

No one has ever asked me the question but if they did in a message they would just be ignored.

My rates are spot on average for my area anyway so it's unlikely.  I have had one or two while with me tell me I should charge more! They just got a   😀   from me.

My go to response is "your budget may get you a massage parlour or a Street walker not an independent.  I wish you fun elsewhere " then block cheap arses.

The average rate for my area is £200 a hour , and I actually charge a lot less then most of the English girls working. But recently I’ve had so many say “ sort my a good deal “ or what am I paying for if you don’t do everything, so wanted to see what some say as a come back so I can use them 😂

If you are on a budget may i suggest a street walker? Their costs are lower with lack of advertising and premises to pay out for.

Then say goodbye please do not contact me again.

Sort you a good deal? That has never been said to me in the many years doing this job!  They are paying ( or not as the case may be)  for what we offer so cheeky shits like that would be ignored and blocked pronto. There would be zero come back comments from me.

Why engage with anyone you have no intention of meeting?

We would, though.

No matter what the price is somebody will want it cheaper - if you charged £10 for an hour they'd be asking for £5. Other women are NOT responsible for these men's rudeness and bad behaviour.

No one has ever asked me the question but if they did in a message they would just be ignored.

Same here. Don't give them the headspace; just block and ignore :)

I am expensive "for you"... my prices are too high "for you". His comments regarding my pricing are anecdotal to his circumstances.

I charge 240 in London, where I work 4-5 days a week and see two clients per day, many of which are longer appointments.

I don't see the need to lower it as this is perfect for me, so it's a HIM problem not a ME problem.

Don't waste time discussing it.

There are a couple of people who contact me with messages from time to time saying something like:

How much for 1 hour.
You are too expensive for me.
I'd like to book you regularly but for 1 hour then I'd visit twice a month.

Note: my price/sessions are 2 hours - I don;t do 1 hour - and actually very reasonable for 2 hours.

I don't block any of them.

I always just refer them to my website and say that's my rate if they want to book.
I don't engage in any kind of waste-of-time discussion.

I'm sure they think I don't get enough clients and that one day I'll be desperate enough to see them for £80 or some nonsense like that.

Actually - when I have people book me using the AW system one time, a guy did make a booking for just one hour and made up his own fee for it. It's a good job, I noticed, because I would have been furious if he arrived with less than the full money.

Fucking idiots.
I would have sent him away.
I have sent men away when they offer less, even when they suddenly bring out the right money after all.

How can they expect a great time when they pull stunts like that and insult the women beforehand?

Title: Re: What to say when someone says your prices are high
Post by: English Green on 15 December 2023, 02:31:38 pm
I had some drip contact me today saying "hi i want to book you i like the look of you but can you tell me why your fee is much higher then most of all the other local women and is it supposed to be that or you done a mistake?

I just hung up on him. TBF after i went and had a look at some other women's prices i suppose i was 20 to 40 more but for Fucksake just piss off calling me.

I know i could get more clients with cheaper price for the services but it also means seeing more people and with hotel prices so much.  I also need to pick better areas where prices are not too low. Such hard work.

When I started, I did some research to see average prices, and decided mine from there, but I started to have some clients saying that I was too expensive and they couldn't come as much as they wanted, so I made the mistake of lowering the price was thinking that the problem was me! One day a client came to see me and we talked about it and he said don't do it... with that you will call a lot of idiots... you do a good job and your price is fair !From then on I kept my prices and I won't commit such stupidity again! :)

That sounds like an honest and great client to make a regular!   
I won't block a client for trying to negotiate once. It is a cultural thing for some, especially from middle east. One of my favourite clients tried that on the first visit. My response was I offer a 10% discount if you would like to prepay 10 visits. The next time he did just that.

I’ve replied to those kind of haggling messages with “ well the place I provide for the convenience for you to visit for an in call doesn’t come for free hun ! “

Then I add a suggestion that they look  someone within their budget .

I remember one of the first few to suggest I give him a discount for being a regular, he had had just 1 booking. This man went on to mess me around over many years, and he did the same to other ladies. He would often cancel at the last minute even in the booking citing wanting to quit punting. Gaining lots of positive feedback well spoken British with British heritage from a respected profession he came across as very genuine but eventually he gained warnings in a variety of places. One woman I contacted who had left him good feedback (he likely was well behaved on one booking with every Escort he booked), said he will never darken her doorstep again.

Honest answer and reaction?

I don't reply. I simply block and keep it moving.

I can't remember being asked this exactly, but I get messages that imply they can't pay my rates. For example, I get the odd request for 30mins or 15mins after they had seen my minimum rate. It means they can't afford it, so asking me "how much is 15 mins?" is annoying lol.

Also, instead of getting messages about how expensive my rate is, I got them questioning my deposit requirements instead...

If they had contacted me on WhatsApp, I block them there and do the same on phone. That way I save them the trouble of ever contacting me again and myself the headache of dealing with such unwanted enquiries.

When I was starting out, I would have replied, but experience thought me I was doing too much unnecessary gymnastics and wasting energy on time wasters.

If it’s on a phone call l hang up and block.

If it’s in a text l ignore and block.

To be fair, somebody moaning about rates doesn't mean they can't afford them, just that they're not prepared to pay them - the narrative that if a punter refuses to pay X amount the only possible reason must be because he doesn't have the money is just dumb.

I can afford to spend pretty much whatever I want on a dress or a pair of shoes or a restaurant dinner (within reason), but that doesn't mean I will if they're not worth the price to me. I would consider somebody who immediately jumped to the conclusion that I won't pay because I can't pay to be seriously lacking in critical thinking skills.

Having said that, what I don't do is walk into the dress shop and berate the assistants for charging higher prices than I've decided are acceptable, because that would make me a massive twat. I just shop elsewhere and don't waste everybody's time :)

It's certainly true that some men can easily afford us but would rather still see us at a lower fee.  Earlier this year a man I'd seen several times and always told me how busy his small business was, was getting dressed and said he  was looking forward to next time but would have to "start saving for it" and he gave me a look I can't describe. I knew it was a hint. He had never previously hinted at paying less.

He didn't ask outright for a discount but he hasn't tried to book again.

Am not bothered 😁

Yeah, I know that look well. 'I can't wait to come and see you again just as soon as I can afford it!'.

I was also not bothered ;D

I normally just block  but occasionally I'll reply. Please look for an escort within your budget range I have plenty of clients who pay my full rates. Have a lovely day.

Then save as haggler / cheap state and block!

There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.

I usually ignore them
But there have been a few occasions where someone has riled me up. So I just say "My prices reflect on the quality of service I provide. I aim to treat every one of my clients with as much respect and adoration as I would like to be treated. I enjoy giving my 100% to clients, ensuring they are left feeling truely desired and satisfied. To be able to provide that service, I only see a limited number of clients. Then I can remember each of my clients and give them a tailored experience for future visits. I would rather see fewer clients at a higher rate, than lower my rate and give a half assed service to many"

The type of clients that want to get the cheapest service, are typically disrespectful and not fun to be around. The odd occasion that I accept a 15min booking, the client is rude, entitled and overstays their welcome. Just so they can save £30 rather than book 30mins

I charge £100 an hour and sometimes still get told my prices are too high!

Crazy and deluded.I

Someone said for that price they can see younger women but I have noticed even Vivastreet many charge £130 or £120 these days.

They are welcome to go to a sauna or brothel after all.

Clients who claim any of my prices are high are often told all good things come at price :). The clients often laugh or smile at my reply.
