Yes totally, I'm saving as much as I can.
I don't know why many of these guys are moaning/surprised that we are raising our rates, our outgoings are rising just like theirs and many of my clients with their own businesses have said they have had to incease their costs to customers.
Yes there will always be guys with plenty of disposable income come what may, thanks god!
I've noticed more guys wanting 15 min bookings but pushing for more services in that time, no chance!  We are a luxury item, not intended to be cheap enough for any and every guy to afford.

I wish there was a way to subtly put that out there. It drains me when they haggle because they truly cannot grasp exactly this.

Yep, had a phone call this morning claiming he didn't have much money and could I do a quickie. Nope because you're already disrespecting me and if you can't afford it go to someone who is cheaper or does shorter appts.

Yep .. It's called having champagne taste on a beer income 
Seems to be a lot of it about.

They can book the cheaper women prices but no they want what they cannot afford which makes it more insulting. There is so many to choose from at everybody's price range but they feel the need to show themselves up.

 I saw a guy recently that i had seen before and he said i forgot the price is blah blah enough i said no its blah blah he said oh sorry is there any chance i could pay the cheaper price ? I said no shall i cancel the booking then? He said no. He came along anyway but he bangs on about when was last time i gad a flow test for covid and have i def had all 3 jabs for covid which he asked last time. Plus enquires if there is kissing on offer or owo so only concerned with covid i said OWO can pass on STI' s and kissing would be a easier way to catch covid just so you know hahaha

Well this has been terrible.

Had someone looking to book in advance for my incall day, said had sent deposit, checked and nothing there. Told them there was no deposit and didn't hear back. Yesterday they messaged asking to cancel their appointment that they did not have as they didn't pay the deposit so weren't booked in.

Today I have had 1 of my 2 advanced bookings (deposits paid) confirm in the morning and then message about 50 minutes before their appointment time to say they had just done a lateral flow test which had came back positive so they wouldn't be able to see me, what would happen with their deposit?

Then also today I have had someone book earlier for 4pm and then message at 3:30pm asking if I would do discreet bb for extra pay.

Hmm I can see plenty jumping on this band wagon as a way of trying to get deposits back.
 It's like the old, "crashed my car on the way over" .. or "my granny just got taken into hospital."
We're all pretty sure its BS but you look like a hard faced bitch if you call them out on it.
I think it's just best to rigidly stick with a blanket no refunds policy and make that clear on your profile.
He should have done the test before confirming, which you would think anyone with a brain would have done anyway.

Yep I did possibly consider refunding for covid if it was at least 24hrs notice and proof was provided but na will just keep it as non-refundable

Wtf!! Instant block for me.

Oh he was

I had a regular short change me saying he couldn't get the full amount out of the cash machine which I know was bull, Quite a few ask if I'd do 30 minutes for less, Many cancel bookings due to waking up with a cold. I did think of taking deposits and stating if they cancel due to illness or similar I would hold deposit for when they are better and do a booking in the future. I need the funds but this messing around is killing my will to work. I have to spend out before I earn, I'm definitely not making what I was before covid and with the squeeze on people now with everything going up might have to get use to this. I think I'll work less and advertise in advance and ask for deposits to pre-book but worried it will put people off especially married guys and enquiries are down this month.
