Would you have done it?

[Jack_attack]

Story time!

So I'm texting around the SP market in Durham today and message up a pretty young blonde on BP that I'd never met before - he's an unknown, no reviews. Usual question - rates, services. She responds with $150/hh.

Now, I'm not a haggler in ANY situation, SPs, cars, you name it. Makes me uncomfortable. But if an SP returns a price I find too expensive, I very politely tell her that she's out of my price range right now and maybe I'll contact her when I've got some cash to spare. It's so the SP knows not to wait for me to book her, pure manners. And typically the girl comes back with "No problem, hun" or something along those lines and we go on our merry way.

That's what I did with this girl. She came back with "What's your budget?"

So I truthfully answered "I was looking for something around $100. I wasn't trying to haggle with you though."

A few minutes later, she returns "$100 is fine."

Seriously? A $50 drop? 33% of your asking price just like that? The text reeked of desperation, possibly of a B&S, possibly even of a pimp situation. Call me crazy, but I think a girl with any sense of decency would hold firm to her price, or MAYBE try to haggle me up to meet her half way or something. Nope. $100 is fine.

I didn't respond.

What do you fellas and ladies think? Right move? Would you have done the same?

It's hard to say but I think I agree Shaun. That's a pretty big drop and would arouse my suspicions too. Then again, maybe she's not busy, a little bored, and $100 is better than nothing.

My guess would be business was slow. My fear would be that there would also be a 33% drop in service. Given the rate, might have been worth the risk though just to see if she was someone who you liked, provided what you liked and wanted to repeat with.

I think both b.u and bcd are on the right track. Unfortunately, the only way to really know would have been to go for it and see how things turned out.

One thing you might have done is explain that you're looking for a regular repeat provider, but your budget is 100. That may have helped your case as far as service quality is concerned.

If she had turned out to be a waste of time, then you would have been a victim of the be careful what you ask for scenario.

And to answer your question, knowing how vulnerable I am when I'm horny, I probably would have gone for it.

At this price which you are comfortable with now, you could take a risk and you may find that she's fine and her service is good. In that case, I would give her a tip of at least $20 to compensate her for her reduction in her original price. This I think would be fair.

No I wouldn't have accepted her price drop..
I actually have more respect for a lady who stands her ground on her pricing
as has been said above dropping it like that shows a sign of desperation...whether it is or not...remains to be seen...but if she is comfortable enough with her price adjustment ....so be it...but I personally would not partake

she would rather have a smaller piece of pie than 100% of no pie.
