Would you visit an escort if sex was off the table?

[Rachel Divine]

After some banter elsewhere, I seem to have invited a lady for (a pub) lunch sometime in the next few days. I suggested her time at the usual rate, she said she wouldn't be so mercenary.

Reading through some of the comments here, I'm not sure what to do. (Apart from wearing an asbestos suit here.)

Advice, please!

Put the money in an envelope, the full amount she is charging for outcall dates. A card is a nice touch

Only advice I can give you is forget the asbestos suit, that stuff is highly poisonous

You're making assumptions much like your friend. I've never actually been employed for a social function as yet, as it seems my clients prefer to have me to themselves in more intimate settings, or as a dinner date/O.N. booking. However, I am happy to provide this service, as I don't see ppl so black and white. I find most ppl have an interesting story to tell, they are good company and I can learn from them and their experiences through life.

Whereas you in comparison are coming across as shallow and working for free, as parties that include clients, like it or not are for touting your wears, or are you telling me the clients that attend don't book the ladies attending?

Oh and are you having problems reading? I wrote £60. You may think you are high end, but you don't act it. Show a bit of self respect for a change. I don't really care where my rates are in comparison to others, but I would say £150 an hour was not low end?

The profession I am training in pays a lot less, so just as well I don't value myself in terms of money. That would be such a sad thing to do.

No they don't .

That's the beauty of these get-togethers : it is like-minded individuals getting together to chat , to hang , to have a drink or two ,

to dance ... we keep an eye out for eachother to keep all of us safe .

Business has nothing to do with it lol .

How very misguided your perceptions are : We don't attend in an effort to try to woo some , and try to secure a booking !

We attend for the fun of it , just for the sheer joy of being among peers , for being able to be silly if one wants to , or to

crack a joke or two .. Is all

I had the distinct honor of being taken out for my BDay by a handful.

No , not the 3x / year escorting BDay , but for the real deal.

We had ( I think ) 8 in attendance. And it was special , and I really appreciated it : people paying respects by attending.

( before snarky comments lol : eight in attendance because I insisted on discretion and privacy and intimacy of the event )

My cake had a candle : 21

These gettogethers are a chance to see eachother (busy girls , hard to coordinate !) face to face , to give eachother a hug or

a shoulder -- as it's needed .

Business is the very last thing that goes on.

How narrow minded and shallow to assume , that we attend to grovel for an appointment !

Assume , lady ? Ass U ?

Here's a wee challenge for you 'honey' -- show me where I mentioned any names of any escorts. This thread was started as a topic for discussion. You're the one who decided to bring some deep meaning into it.

1 . Honey , I already apologised for calling you honey .. so lay off of it honey

2 . You mentioned no particular names in your initial posts , but having a Signature on your posting profile leads us to assume

that most of your current experiences would involve the person you are advertising.

3. "You're the one who decided to bring some deep meaning into it." -- I tend to do that == >> bring deep

meaning to subjects xx Mea Culpa , I just cannot help myself !

In my world words have meaning , and carry weight. They're the the funnel through which ideas are delivered to others.

: Did I misunderstand your references re "reduced rate" , "50£ in place of 150£" , "two tiered" ?

[bollocks]

Yes no sexual services or kissing etc.

Maybe as a slave cleaning up etc

[2camp]

We all know that the vast majority of meetings with escorts here result in full or partial sexual contact.

But a few don't and my question for all clients here is -- would you be willing to pay (at a much reduced rate) for the genuine time and companionship of the ladies here if sexual contact wasn't available? By this I mean going for a meal, a date to the theatre or cinema, a companion for a social gathering, a day out or just some quality social time in private?

Remember that many of the ladies here are intelligent, attractive and witty and would be great company.

NO David I wouldn't, That is why I go, for the sex,

[Rachel Divine]

I arrived fashionably late as usual, my apologies, hope the small gift more than made up for my tardiness..... Was a great night had by all.... as always....

Bad directions from someone I recall

Damm smart phone this days, they can be wrong!!

1. Agree

2. Agree that you make assumptions. Unfortunately in this case they're wrong.

3. The references you cite were suggested topics for discussion, so yes you did misunderstand. They have now been discussed, with a wide range of opinions put forward, so mission accomplished.

I'm glad we've been able to clear that up.

If you had bothered to read any of David's previous posts, you would know that he is well versed with words and their meaning, gosh even James Cork has nominated him to be his mouth piece on matters of concern on here.

It would be very presumptuous indeed to assume that a forum member is only ever talking about the person in his signature. I would say that would be very narrow minded indeed and show no real thought at all.

Reference your comment on the parties. It does not matter what your prime intention is. If you are socialising with clients without fee, then you are doing exactly the opposite to your stance on this thread, so at best it makes you a hypocrite, even if you are not receiving bookings from all.

I was speaking to a young man not so long ago, who has attended at least one of these parties and he reeled off an extensive list of the girls he had booked, all of which were also at the parties and another client who was most pleased to be invited, left with a lady that very night for a booking.

Anyone thinking it would not generate business may be considered a little dim at best.

There is much more to this escort business than just sex!! I know exactly what you mean. These ladies have a really amazing personalities!

The ladies are cultured and as you say have amazing personalities. They make you feel good the second that you see them, and thats good for a start.
