I agree. I negotiate and try to be fair. I don’t ask what others pay when I contact someone as I don’t care. I know what I am willing to pay and if we can agree to services and a price I will see them. If we don’t I move on. It’s OK to ask what the donation is but I don’t think someone should be chastised for asking, nor not giving what their donation was. My expectations from the encounter may be different than someone else’s so the negotiated rate might be different. That is why, as I said, I will only mention a rate if they list it in their ad although it may or may not be the rate I received on my encounter. As Baconman said some of us have been around a long time so we have regulars that we have been seeing for years. I am upfront with guys that message me asking for rates that I have no idea what their current rate is and do not want someone messaging them that I quoted them a lower rate and they expect the same.
