wickedboy 1020 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 I would be very concerned at seeing an sp with very low rates. I would be worried that there will be some bait and switch or something wrong with the provider or worse I'm about to get mugged. It depends on what is offered but I think 180 to 200 is an reasonable average price 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottanon 2930 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 I have spent many a $300/hr for specialized encounters. I think originally this thread was more of what the market in Ottawa can bare. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nntsci 11076 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 The two Ladies I see in Toronto I give them $250... the clock isn't really a factor, but technically its for an hour of their time. One was working for an agency that charged $300 per hour for her time but they got their cut; with me, she now get the whole 250. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliviaphan 1165 Report post Posted August 26, 2016 I think average rate on BP now is $240/hr. The more you charge, the better clients you will cater. From my experience, most clients who are willing to pay above the average rate are sweet and nice people. The barely ask about your service or try to negotiate with you. What they are looking for is companionship and sex is just 1/3 of the time they book. No matter what those guys comment about your rates, they are not worth your time ! 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juice 2105 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 So I have a question mostly for the gents . . Ummm, what? Can someone explain to to me how lowering your rates helps you do anything but work harder for less money?! You choose your price, but the higher it is, the fewer clients. The lower it is, more will be able to afford it. I know this is just a generalization, but the women who lower their prices might want more clients, so I don't blame them. I can remember talking to strippers who said business was slow, so they were raising their rates to make up for lost money. Of course it got even slower after that! I guess the SCs don't teach Econ 101. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newguy75 518 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 My decision is always made based on if I see something in the photo or description that makes me sit up and take notice. Cute, eccentric, different or whatever catches my eye. Rate takes a back seat to that. Obviously, I know what I can afford but its not an negotiation. If someone questions your rate I think is in bad taste and certainly wont contribute anything to a session. I do think there is a line I wont go under. I once went to someone who offered a lower rate than I am used to. I figured, she is cute and looks kinda fun. Totally uninterested in making even an effort for a connection. So Mechanical would not even make eye contact. In and out in half the time! I would not care what price was offered I would not go back! If you like this work and its not about going through the motions then your worth it :) 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ***rd**n Report post Posted August 28, 2016 Different cities have different rates. Plus girls are free to charge what they wish. One hour of an SP's time is between 200 and 300 dollars. The average being 250 which is fair. Charging less than 200 h may make people suspicious of you rightfully or wrongfully so. Also it will attract a certain type of clientele and not necessarily the best kind. 300 dollars is high but obviously if someone had a really good time with you and liked you they wont mind forking over another 300 dollars. For some people money is no object. However guys tend to like variety and are always curious about new faces. Sometimes that 50 dollar difference can sway ones choice. Then there are those that charge over 300 h. They are looking to build professional relationships with a very specific clientele. Going too high or too low for that matter can put you in danger of pricing yourself out of the market. Money can't buy you love but it can get you one hour of a girls time. Wasting money is one thing, wasting time is another. Best not to squander neither. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 120hh 220hr is pretty standard in Ottawa Personally i think they are seeing the half hour rate or a bng rate, and either not realizing the low rate they saw wasn't for an hour, or are being deliberately misleading you. There is a type who do that, shame the escort for their rates, and actually lie about what everyone else is charging. For an hourly, the only reason someone might post a 100/hr rate is that they are not doing F S for that, or that everything is added on, or that it isn't actually a hour rate, it is their half hour. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbi 1388 Report post Posted August 28, 2016 On Backpage the rates are between 180 and 220 for the hour that gives an average of 200 per hour it is very rare that im quoted a price out of that range 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gntlmn 796 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 I am completely comfortable with $200/h (I don't do hh sessions) for SPs. I don't think I've ever gone over that because, to me, $200/h feels like it's still fun money. As soon as I go over that amount (because I do like to make multiple visits; MAs, too) I have to consider the "hit" too much. Over $200 would make cause me to make less visits, thus hurting the industry. BUT, you can, of course, set your own prices. Also, $200 > $0. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest st*****ens**ors Report post Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) So, just to be clear, charging over $200/hr "hurts the industry" BUT you can, of course, set your own prices. Or you could ignore twaddle and do whatever you like. One of the chief delights of self-employment is the opportunity to choose how much to charge for your time. There will always be potential clients who would like to usurp that prerogative, and threaten dire consequences for not falling in line with their expectations ($200>$0 for instance) Do what works for you, and change course when your own objectives require it.

I meant by raising prices I would make less visits. And less visits means less $$ BY ME into the industry. Twaddling away now. And ... we were asked for our opinion.

I chime in late but to the OP, I'm s sure you'll find more insights here http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=17464 I just went and read that post.. wow! reads like my own life hehe.... wonderful piece.. I think perrrhaps it should be one that is 'pinned' somewhere so it's always visible.. especially for newbies ;) Most providers, I would think, have experienced what she talked about, in some measure at least.. and I myself, do not regret one single choice I made.. or even those that were made for me.. albeit some of the things I was put through if I *had* the choice.. I would not have experienced.. but all of them.. grrrreat, good, bad.. downright scary.. all created the incredibly strong, confident, humorous.. talented.. loving, understanding, and street-smart cat that stands before you today.... and I happen to honestly *love* that perrrrrson.. so hehe why would I change anything? ;) I may charge less than some, I may charge more than some... but, it makes sense for me, and works wonderfully well for me, so.. ;) I have wondered why some charge what I would think would not get them any business.. but that is never for me to judge.. so I do not.. it makes sense for them... and obviously, their clients :) the age-old adage; "don't judge a perrrrrson til you've walked a mile in their shoes".. goes a long way here I think :) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
