Your rate to experience provided is outstanding.
Do I think some others are high? Yes. Would I ever negotiate? No. Market forces will prevail.

SO... When is half-price Tuesday...?? :kiss:
You might be misremembering then. In 7 years on E and over 250 reviews Allison had one "no" by someone who obviously didn't do his research. His review claims he paid what I remember to be her standing BnG rate. I didn't look to see if she posted a rebuttal because I think I knew her better than that. I'm sure she took it in stride and moved on.
Im scared of you rofl
before i give my .02 i will make the obligatory disclaimer that i donate whatever is listed on the companions page/email/text/review..etc..
interesting topic but it seems that all of the responses to the OP's statement have been skewed all the way to one side. and oddly (and/or ironically) by both providers and hobbyists.in other words, there have been various opinions stated about 'negotiating' from the hobby perspective, as well as the provider/companion perspective. the odd(and/or ironic) thing is that all of you spoke about the same type of 'negotiating'. which is surprising.
unless its me thats missing something . maybe substitute the word 'negotiate' and replace it with 'discount' instead. all of your replies up til this point have been about discounts, right?
here is the oxford definition of the word "negotiable":
1. able to be discussed or changed in order to reach an agreement
i say this because, everyone,including the OP has responded with the premise that negotiable can ONLY mean/indicate paying LESS.
my point is that BY DEFINITION it can ALSO mean/indicate paying MORE. for example: A provider/companion has her donations listed in an ad or on her page. it has a donation for a hhr. for an hr. for 2 hrs and for dbls. so what if i reach out to her and say "hey DM, i see you are in houston. i am in dfw so if i paid for you to fly here to see me for the wknd, would you be interested?" and if she says yes? well that type of session isnt listed on her page/ad so i am assuming that some negotiating has to occur.
another example, say DM (and yes,clearly i dig dorthy! btw, dorthy, if you are ever in dallas and need a sugar DATY,i volunteer as tribute!)
only is available on weekdays and a guy sends her a pm that he is in town just for the night, even though its a saturday night, he offers double the 'listed' donation.
those are 2 instances where negotiating is taking place but not haggling or asking for a discount.
to be clear, i am not taking a particular side in this discussion. i suppose i am just reminding all of you that discussing a donation isnt always about the same thing....
Unemployment is currently at a 49-year low. Negotiation is unnecessary because provider rates will adjust once unemployment levels revert back to historical norms.
