Paid Meet and Greets - Do They Pay? (For the Ladies.)

[Leah Ireland]

I'm intrigued by rates posted by other ladies that include 'Meet and Greet' hours. Maybe they'll meet someone just for drinks and their rates will be $100 - $250 for an hour. Maybe some people charge more, I don't know.

Despite my intrigue I've refrained from offering this as an option on my site because the fact is, occasionally I'll have a drinks date for a couple of hours that is just a drinks date and I'll get $1000 - $1200. From that the new client, new to the escorting world perhaps, will typically book a dinner date (before it was $2000 with me, now I'm offering it at $1600 to see how the new rate goes.).

I think the Just Drinks Date is a very nice option to offer clients. My question to the ladies is, does it work out financially for those that offer it? Do you get enough clients in that way to compensate for the occasional client who will want a drinks date but pay your usual (higher) rates?

I was also very curious about this matter as well, for me my rates are the same with or without the BCD.

I have this option but it's also a mandatory thing for couples. It does create some confusion to newbies who assume that the "meeting" IS the screening lol.

Other than that, I find it works well for those who want to see what they are getting at a reduced rate. Believe it or not, there are guys out there who are just as uncomfortable having sex before getting to know a provider first. Others are offended they even have to pay for a dinner date with bcd, much less "just dinner." Can't please everyone I guess.

To answer your question Leah, no I could not live off of the income I get from these dates. My best sellers are the hour, 90 min. and 3 hour dinner.

This is why the "Fight Club" is so beneficial...to Clients and Providers.

I had a guy call yesterday and offer me $200 to meet and discuss role-playing possibilites. I think this is a great approach in the fetish scene, esp.

Good thread.

I hope this gets more response.

[London Rayne]

I see more than the usual amount of these types of dates being advertised on websites, but not really strongly marketed in ads. Most are the very last option too, so my guess is although the money is better than nothing, most prefer gettting some action lol.

[Leah Ireland]

Thanks for the straight talk London! Yes Clair sounds great getting paid to listen to a fantasy possibility. I have noticed a fair amount of enquirers trying to leech energy by sending long -winded scenarios for me to read. I don't bother. The time to yak is on a paid date, not before. (Unless of course he's unusually charming and there's some verbal foreplay...)

I offer them, but they are not a selling point. I prefer the the approach you have Leah, where it is an option, but its not on your site so you accept what they offer which is probably more than what you charge.

I totally agree. Other than that i have never done nor would i ever do a just meet and greet. So far, it`s been good for me without the hassle of just meeting people for dinner. It is too much disclosure for me. Some people are curious about you and want to see you just for dinner, but for me its still a security issue. It might be a bit strange to think of it as such, but it is different if someone that books me as an escort knows "who i am" than someone that just goes for dinner "knows who i am and has seen me". It`s about consensual experiences in the demi-monde.

To put it blunt: If a client engages in an escort client relationship, we BOTH and all of us enter the worlds of the demi-monde. If he engages in a dinner only booking, only I do. It is too risky for several occasions for me. That said, i do go to dinner with clients who i have known for very long. But as a first - no chance.

I agree.

I do very few of my 1 Hour Meet & Greet. Luckily, the men I've met this way have then scheduled BCD time. So, I guess in the end it's worth it. A hundred bucks for an hour of my time without getting dirty plus I get a nice meal out of it too. Lol.

I just met a lovely gent in Dallas who was from D and T, and we did this type of encounter. He has back problems and apparently was not able to keep our scheduled date where bcd was on the menu. He called me well in advance to inform me he threw his back out moving something and he would not be able to perform. I suggested he just lie back and let me take care of it, but alas pain pills don't make for a happy member.

He felt a little better by the time we were scheduled and offered to take me to dinner and around town to run some errands for my meet and greet rate. I won't mention his name, but I had a lovely time and can't wait to meet him again...not after we eat Mexian though bwahahah! It was really hard for me not to attempt a bj I must admit.

[ErectionDemolitionSpclst]

Great thread and indeed it has thoughts racing as to whether or not to offer the M&G Option.

Hmmmmm?

Can't hurt to offer it love...only a few extra lines of your page, so you lose nothing.

You're right, London...

I do meet and greets for $100, plus drinks.
