But am I being too hard-headed? Screwing myself out of some income out of silly pride? Or am I avoiding headache and irritation from someone who has already demonstrated that he may be a boundary pusher?

It is hard to choose, I recently did a 15 min quickie with a guy for ?30, but told him it was a one off. It had been a slow day, I was doing nothing so thought why not, he turned out to be a bit of a pain.

The guy above did come out with it and so I did not really have to haggle, if you choose to do it I would tell him you will do it for X amount this time but in future would expect him to pay the full amount.

Dont get into haggling with him, if he is not happy with what you offer then tell him you will see him when he has saved up the full amount and that this is one time only offer not to be repeated.

I agree with Sarah, it's not a market stall,  but a one off might not hurt,  if he's decent enough to accept the offer straight away and not try to get your free down even more because he thinks you're up for it.

Sometimes when it's quiet I feel like something is better than nothing... But haggling is one thing that really winds me up, I've never accepted and don't think I ever will just on principle. It feels unfair on the nice clients who accept my prices for someone to get an instant discount just by asking. Plus the ones who ask usually come across as complete idiots looking for nothing more than a cheap fuck and I think if I did I would feel quite resentful towards them for being a cheapskate and it really wouldn't make a pleasant experience. Also I wouldn't expect them to come back if I told them they had to pay full price next time, I'd expect them to move onto the next girl willing to accept a discount.

Although I do feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot sometimes, if I'm not going to earn anything anyway then I'm losing out on money, but I just don't think I can do it on principle, it feels like silly pride but I'd feel too resentful, used and selling myself short. I guess a compromise might be to offer them a shorter service, or withdraw a service (such as owo) to match the price, but I wouldn't see someone new for a full service for full time at a discount. I think they should get what they pay for.

Like HHJJ said I may compromise on longer bookings, such as overnights as these can be variable.

Otherwise, like Amy suggested for some it may be a power kick from getting a deal out of you.

I think I refuse to haggle for the same reason I ignore the guy who keeps texting me with 'hey bbe how much for a quick suck', anyone whose initial contact is arrogant and offensive and who is going to make me feel like a cheap collection of holes is someone I'd prefer to not see.

I just can't bring myself to agree to giving my services for less.I think my rates are reasonable enough and when guys ring me and haggle its like they think I'm a rug on a market stall and not a human being.
Any discounts or extra time I give is offered not asked for and is for regular clients that have shown they are reliable and treat me with respect.The guys that haggle seem to want as much as they can get for as little as possible and I would rather not see them.I have tried the offering less time or less services thing when new and these guys will keep pushing it...it never does seem to be 'just this once' so its a no in the first instance.

If the haggerlers cannot afford the game then simples they shouldn't play. I so want to say this but hold back.

I would never entertain a haggler. Imagine what an arse they'd be when they show up! Plus all it takes is one to mention somewhere that you will agree to less then you'll have more calling up and trying it on. Plus I'd hate for one of my fabulous regulars to hear that I'd seen a moron for less than them. I couldn't possibly offer the same kind of service to someone who'd paid less, and why should I?! I'd almost feel like they should be getting a limited service that reflects their lesser fee.
