Is there a market for.....

[Guest S****r]

....women to be taken out to events? Forgive my ignorance--most of you know that I am new to the escort community. But are there times when you men want to book a lady to take out to an event that you either must attend, or simply want to attend? Do you men sometimes need an educated, socially adept, discreet woman whom you can be proud to have with you when out in public? I presume this would be at a reduced rate. Or is this just something out of the movies? lol

 

Teach me some more, my friends!

 

Thanks so much. I always appreciate your comments!

I think there likely is a market for this ... but I expect its less frequent then extended dinner date options.

 

I know I'd be unlikely to book a lady for this sort of event ... the conference dinner, or other "event" with lots of people in attendance. In part, that's because the sort of conference I attend involve a pretty small network of people, many of whom I've known for 20+ years. They all know my family situation, so showing up with someone on my arm would be rather a give away. Also, we all tend to be at these events without our partners, so it's simply not required to have a companion/date. I rather expect most business travel is a bit like that.

 

If I was to take a lady, it would have to be someone who I had met several times, and who I was confident would conduct herself in a fashion appropriate to the setting. Of course, there are lots of ladies that fit that bill.

 

I'd be more inclined to take a lady for a weekend trip while attending a business conference, especially if it was outside of Canada where less people would know my SO, but would most likely opt out of most of the evening "conference events"

Like Porthos, I personally wouldn't see a SP (fairer to say can't envision seeing a SP) for this type of encounter. And that is because any such events for me would involve my family or friends who know my situation (single and unattached) For me, it would lead to too many questions.

But I'm sure there are gentlemen who would like that type of encounter

Now seeing an SP (and have) for a sleepover, dinner out, breakfast out I certainly can see. The sleepover was with a lady I had an established "relationship" with, not something I'd do on a first date with a lady.

I thought I saw some ladies including reduced rates for social events in some of their ads. Unfortunately, their names escape me for the moment.

[tokan 16826]

Like a few other gentlemen have said if I were going to an event that say a large number of my family, friends, or acquaintances were in attendance I'd be less inclined to seek out this kind of date.

 

However, if your talking about say going to a hockey game, concert, or even an evening out to a comedy club than sure. I could probably even see a weekend getaway. Probably not on a first meeting but after I got to know a particular lady than sure.

Should have added to my earlier post, and like tokan said, taking a lady out to a concert/hockey game/movie etc etc etc, that is a social outing I would do, with a lady I have gotten to know...it's not IMHO something to do on a first encounter. But a social outing should avoid the gentlemen's family/friends, well they should in my case at least LOL

I think it would depend on the price you would charge as well.

[Labrador 248]

I have taken ladies to concerts, sporting events, comedy shows ect. Have even taken them out of town too. Some offer this. Fun times!

[2bigalow2 2938]

I do believe there is a market for this. during one year i was going to events that you could go single but it looked better going to a gala charity event with an intelligent lady on your arm. I do believe the lady must be able to converse in many diverse subjects. These kinds of events can be enjoyable for both me the client and the sp. One SP who i took took one of these events ended up getting a mangerial job in either a restaurant or hotel. Networking in these events are advantageous to both. My rules are, no revealing your an SP at these events, proper formal wear, no minis.

That's the thing about this business, it opens the door for many different things. I like the fact that you can be as creative as you choose.

 

If you want to do dinner date/special outings the best way of getting them is by marketing yourself in a way that says that you are the perfect companion for this. You can also advertise a social rate.

 

Social dates/overnight dates don't happen everyday but they do happen. Most of the clients will debrief you. If the client does not it is up to you to find out what they want, how they want you to dress and what kind of event it is.

 

I wish you many social dates Summer.

[Boomer 33202]

I have slightly different slant. I'm a mature widower and as such don't have the secrecy problems of others. I use SP/MA services on a regular basis to fill a healthy need in my life, and like to make friends and have quite personal relationships with the women I see.

 

If I needed a date for a social function or a trip I can see myself doing so. There are a number of ladies my age who are not in this profession that I can call, but my problem is that many are like me widowed and they might take my invitation the wrong way. I'm quite comfortable with my life as is, a reasonable marriage and children, and am not necessarily looking to hook up for another long term relationship.

 

So to your question, all the guys here are different, so I'm sure there's a limited market for this type of service. The problem is how to market this service. In Ottawa we've had close to dozen socials and I've got to meet many great ladies socially who might be up for a social type of date.

[Guest S****r]

Thank you, everybody. I so appreciate your comments and advice! I totally understand about the family situation. I guess I was thinking of those for whom this would not be an issue. Someone suggested weekends away or trips away? That would be awesome!

 

So....what kind of rates would one be willing to pay for such an event?

 

As one who is well-educated and keeps current on world events for my day job, as well as my own interest, and knows also how to be discreet when necessary, I am confident that this could be a good thing. Now....to add it to my advertisements, I guess.

 

Thanks again, and even more advice would be appreciated!

[roamingguy 300292]

To echo Boomer's thoughts, I think there is a limited market for social dating. Most clients are looking for conventional encounters.

That said, that doesn't mean you can't include social dating in you repertoire of services you provide

As for what would I be willing to pay, first I believe the lady should set her rates, not the clients. And second, when I see a lady I am paying her for her time. So for me, and speaking only for me, I would say your hourly rate stays the same. Your services for a social date aren't less than for an encounter, they are just different.

My two cents worth

RG

[Athos 108589]

I think with rates you need to think about several things.

 

First though, I'd check the websites of ladies that offer this abpnd compare. Then think about what you consider a reasonable and fair rate for your time and company.

 

You also need to think about different types of experiences. Social ony, social with intimate playtime, extended dates (overnight ... Which in my view would always involve social and playtime; weekends away, week long trips, etc.).

 

Many ladies have packages, that delineate how much of an extended date will be social and play time, along with the price. Others have different rates for social only, and some charge the same hourly rate regardless of activity. Lots of different ways to organize it. Think about your market, the type of clients you see now, and what you need to get out of it.

 

A weekend away might mean foregoing other clients, but if the destination was a good one, it could be worth it. Lots of ladies simply indicate they are available for social, extended encounters and travel, then indicate that those interested should inquire about rates. That allows you to balance all factors in determining what an appropriate rate might be.

Even with social events put aside (just for a moment), some ladies have an hourly rate and then a highly reduced rate for additional hours. They recognize that rather than charge the full rate for the 2nd, 3rd or 4th hour, a lot of the rate for a one hour appointment was to properly compensate them screening, booking, getting ready, getting there and even the danger pay they so much deserve for dealing with some of the hazards. So whenever I see this graduated scale for additional hours I am impressed. A 4 hour appointment probably isn't going to involve any more work (on station) than a one hour appointment, just additional time, so why squeeze it into an hour and then go home and be idle making no further remuneration?

 

Oh course I think it is only reasonable to assume that if a gentleman books 4 or 5 hours of purely social time, one of the hours at least needs to be higher to cover the costs of getting there or getting ready and dealing with all the other aspects of setting up an appointment.

 

It is also reasonable to assume that he may, having planned only social time become more interested in something more. So as long as there is good communication and understanding of the lady's expectation for compensation and what the boundaries are or can be changed to I think there is no life like it!

 

Some ladies offer something similar to this when once a month they get a visit from nature and make it both discreetly but clearly clear that FS is not available and why this is so. In some ways I find these appointments desirable as I understand her temporary boundaries but it's a lucrative way to get to know her and for her to get to know me.

 

I agree with RG though, the clients never set the rates, gentlemen never try to negotiate one, I even find it uncomfortable inquiring as to what it is but it beats getting it wrong if it isn't completely clear to me. So I usually have to ask her very directly (web sites can be out of date) and if she can't tell me, or I get a wishy washy answer then I have to move on.

[SamanthaEvans 166767]

I do these, Summer. I offer a social rate for a purely non-erotic meeting--often over lunch or dinner. Most of the gentlemen who ask for these meetings want some company but don't want to rush into anything physical the first time they meet a lady. I may do a couple of these a month, sometimes more and sometimes none at all.

 

I also offer extended meetings of three to five hours which usually involve dinner followed by private time. Most of the men who ask for these are from out of town. We meet at his hotel and eat dinner in the hotel restaurant or somewhere nearby.

 

I've attended private dinner parties with some well-known men. If they go alone, they may have difficulty extricating themselves from other women's company and expectations at the end of the evening. Most of these engagements have been purely social ones and required me to be very familiar with the fellow's work. These clients have chosen me because of my age and because they suspected that I could easily know or become familiar with their work. I receive about 3-4 invitations a year for this kind of companionship.

 

I enjoy these social dates a lot.

GFE:

15 - 100

30 - 140

45 - 180

60 - 220

 

Take-me-out (as option or only course):

Events I like - 50 to 100 (depends on how much I like it)

Events only you would like - GFE rate

 

... This actually might be a very great way to enhance development of a repeater or be a great primer to lead into a greater GFE to follow.

 

If the options are initially laid out, would allow for a more complete and enjoyable experience for both.

[Guest **oo**e]

I have taken an SP away for a weekend out of town. Less chance you will run into someone you know.
