The market being revealed
This is an interesting discussion of the market in the DC area and beyond. I have to say the rates some of you guys pay is higher than what used to be discussed when HWG was here. Maybe some of you didn't want to reveal you were paying more, and I don't think it is "lowballing at $150" as another poster put it. It is negotiating. I'm from another demographic, but I've been getting most of my girls at $150. If one comes in higher I make a decision if I'm going to negotiate or walk. Most of the time I walk, but if there is a spectacular one with intelligence that I like I will negotiate a higher price. So I think for a lot of you guys it is having the ability to have "walk away power". I'm sensing too many guys are giving in, which inflates market unnecessarily. You guys are businessmen like me. I always try to get the best deal whether it be for pussy or in my line of business. It's not being cheap it's conducting good business. I won't be weak and overpay for pussy if it is not worthy.
Having said the above my current first string baby started out at $150. She wanted more, but she took my offer, because I had enough game to land her. She's an 8/9 that is submissive to me. She let it be known what she was looking for. Basically to be able to quit her job so she can concentrate on school full time. I didn't do that obviously with my $150 per meet, but what I did do was inch closer to what she is looking for. I moved her to $200 per meet plus pay her rent of $400 per month. I'm seeing her once per week. So that's coming in at about $1200 per month. She was hoping to get around $1800 per month where she could quit her job. To me it's just good business. She can get more by holding out for the occasional whale, but she likes me, and is willing to prove herself. Kind of a nice GE.
Now my dilemma will come in tomorrow when I sit down with this 21 yr old stripper, who just started less than a month ago. She doesn't have that mentality as she is taking full time classes and working at a Bob Evan's as a server. She started this on the side for three nights per week to make extra money. Was probably told she could do well, but she already would like to cut it down to two days, because it is not something she will stick with. She's a 10/10 in my book, so the negotiating is going to be tough. I really like this one, but my $150 per meet won't fly. We've talked a little, so I think she'll come in higher. The question is how high is she going to start? She really doesn't have time for more than one daddy if any really. It's not something she was seeking. She is not on SA. I sold her on it. Again, not tooting my horn, but she liked my game, and now talks to me everyday on texting. She's more of a 10 intellectual type, which really turns me on. A hot babe with a brain that's sweet, with a little naivete to her. But I have to ask myself if I want to invest in this much money for two babies that with all intents and purposes will take me off the market of new pussy. I did just let my SA account expire this morning, so I am going in that direction. I essentially could be locking myself down with two babies long term. If this works out with this second one, then I'm off the market for awhile. Question is can they give me enough sex per week that I need to stay content? I need more than twice per week. I do have two second stringers in a 20 yr old and a 31 yr old, but that would only increase my pussy expenses. That's my dilemma coming up tomorrow. But again if this 21 yr old 10 and I cannot agree on a deal then I'll have the walk away power to move on.
I do not think guys were reluctant to admit what they paid when HWG was around
[QUOTE=GuyInTheCorner;2656401]... Or maybe with HWG gone we are all willing to fess up to what the real going rate is?
...[/QUOTE]I think it is simply a case of timing. The topic of sugar amount in one's "play" area did not come up until I complained about the high expectation $ in my home town?!
Also HWG is in LA which has been described as the land of eternal pussy! So the going rate is lower across races. I believe Mike7794 is playing in the vicinity these days with similar results!
Relative value is an important concept
Would I love to fuck for hours and ONLY have to pay $100? Sure, who wouldn't? But that is not realistic.
One of the issues with negotiating is you turn it into a transaction, and, over time, the you both treat it that way.
Sure, the SBs may be faking their affection and orgasms, but if they are, they do a much better job than the pros, and there is a pretty good chance she is not kissing you with the same mouth that took three loads of some strange monger's cum earlier in the day.
I ask them what tuition assistance / loan repayment program would get me my desired time together -- I let them name their price and I either agree or decline, but rarely do I negotiate. I want them to be happy, if not thrilled, with what they are getting, and trying to talk them down from $400 to $250 starts things off on the wrong foot in my book.
Occassionally they will insist on asking me what I have to offer. I tell them my standard and let them decide. Again, I don't let them talk me up to what they might have had in mind. Too many POTS in the bowl to play that game.
Also, I rarely compensate them in all cash. My $700 overnight in NYC was happy to take $400 in cash and a $300 spa gift card I won in a charity auction (for which I paid $200). So out of pocket cost was only $600. The Showcase Showdown Prize package approach with a retail value of $_ _ _ carries a lot of weight in terms of making it feel less transactional for them. Charity Auctions are great places for swag for SBs -- restaurants they can never afford, Gift Cards to boutiques...it rarely goes for retail value.
I place the cash in an envelope and put it in a gift bag with a nice candle or other girly treat and they just take it when they leave. Never had one open it and count it all out like a pro does.
Non-cash prizes can be a huge hit. My father in law went in to assisted living. Boxed up his microwave, 42" TV, coffee maker and a few other appliances and shipped them to an SB fresh out of college moving into her first apartment alone. She did not care they were slightly used, she was worried about how much her new place would take to furnish and was strapped with first / last payment. She was thrilled to have all this stuff she needed, but would not be able to afford for 6 months. Cost me less than $100 in UPS charges, got me a 3 hour fuck fest, saved me the trouble of a garage sale.
A few of my friends/clients/vendors are happy to trade their goods and services for what my company offers. Barter = swag for the girl, and it is often a business expense!
New report out for the babies

This is why we need to stay together in our negotiations. If not then the market will get driven up unless we collectively give resistance to an potentially increasing market.
