Interesting posts, think I've already said I no longer get in a hump about prices being discussed. Remember all guys are consumers, and as consumers we do like to try and get discount or value for money. I know this is a very personal business - but folk on the other end see it from their point of view. I've heard tales of guys asking quite innocent questions of ladies i.e. "how long can I see you for ?X" as that's what they have available, only to get a slap in the face. It's a pity because the guys involved are simply being straight to the point. In my case I'll consider my position and give a straight answer without punching them in mouth.

All to easy to get too defensive over stuff - I do it sometimes and it can come across the wrong way, alienates people.

Someone once asked me what they could get for ?20. I told them 7.5 minutes!

Good one. I'd be too wary of quoting something like that, since they might actually take you up on the offer. Stop watch anyone?

The guy said he would have done... if I hadn't have been on the opposite side of London. Shame!
