i kind of got the same vibe tooYou seem kind of triggered.
you would have to be very careful for the whole week or you might end up with AWE(angry wife experience) instead of GFE
i kind of got the same vibe tooYou seem kind of triggered.
you convinced me, the deal is offAnd, of course, you would have to pay for the week in advance. So, even if you were unhappy with the experience you would still be out $20,000, on top of the rest of the expenses.
How you allow others to treat you or pay is your worth. That is why some SP's charge 200 per/hr while others can charge 600 or 1000 per/hr and men will pay their worth. It is the same with cars, property or anything else. Some folks are willing to pay great sums for the very same product that other would not. If VR demands a price and gets it that is not entitlement that is good business as she is a business not a charity.You seem kind of triggered. His math was correct. You stated that you charge $8,000 for 2 days in Canadian dollars. He calculated for $4,000 per day. That's reasonable, given what you said earlier in this thread.
In your response to his math, you stated that your rate is ONLY $20,000 for a week. Averaging your "6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep" to 7 would work out to a little over 2 days of personal time. You expected him to assume that you would discount that amount, however, you didn't discount that for your earlier quote of $8,000 for 2 days where it would be assumed that you would still have your 6-8 hours of personal time. If you were doing the math based on a typical week long trip, 8 hours a night over a 7 day/6 night trip, it works out to exactly 2 days of personal time. At least it's nice to know that you wouldn't expect to be paid for that time...
What about SP math? You tried to work out his math and came up with $4,000 less than he assumed, when he used your own numbers to estimate the cost of a trip. Maybe don't insult potential clients on a forum geared towards us. It's not a good look.
Personally, it sounds like you have a bit of an entitled attitude and for that I wouldn't book you. So no loss here, but you may have caused others to think twice. Sounds like you're more interested in booking Americans though so I doubt you really care.
Have a good one.
all the power to her, nobody is denying her right to charge whatever she wantsIf VR demands a price and gets it that is not entitlement that is good business as she is a business not a charity.
My rate is listed on my site, its not some magical number i made up on the spot, he could have looked instead of incorrectly assuming. In reality most of us give a discounted rate the longer you book.You seem kind of triggered. His math was correct. You stated that you charge $8,000 for 2 days in Canadian dollars.

What someone making 100k a month considers worth the price and what someone making under 100k a year considers worth the price, are likely to be very different. My clients see the value in it, and that's all that matters to me. Anyone booking me for longer than an overnight has met me before for an overnight already. I require this as I will not but either of us in a position to be unhappy for multiple days.all the power to her, nobody is denying her right to charge whatever she wants
but we also have the right to discuss value here
it's a very important concept when it come to money
Any client I'm spending a week with I already have a good relationship with, and I'm far more willing to ignore little things that annoy me from those clients than others, for obvious reasons.i kind of got the same vibe too

someone who makes 100k a year and is willing to spend $20000.00 on you, values you more then the guy who makes a millionWhat someone making 100k a month considers worth the price and what someone making under 100k a year considers worth the price, are likely to be very different.

I don't necessarily agree with that statement. That 100k earner client DEFINITELY values me a lot, but that isn't the only metric of how a client values you. I definitely would go above and beyond to make sure the guy who spent 1/5 of his income on me had a great time, simply because I would be touched that he found me worth such a large chunk of his income. When I know clients saved to see me, that's a special place in my heart, and as long as they never tried to haggle me or take advantage in some way, I absolute would try my hardest to provide them the most value possible for their generosity. But I can't say that those clients value me more than the richer clients, simply because I don't know how attached to his money that rich person is, some really don't like spending money, so spending whatever on me might also be because they greatly value me enough to splurge on time with me.someone who makes 100k a year and is willing to spend $20000.00 on you, values you more then the guy who makes a million
This is exactly my point, you don't value it, but that's just your opinion, it doesn't mean they're isn't value in it, there just isn't to you.there is more value to be had somewhere else instead of 7 day trip with someone
in my opinion
sorry I disagree with you on both pointsI don't necessarily agree with that statement. That 100k earner client DEFINITELY values me a lot, but that isn't the only metric of how a client values you.

This is exactly my point, you don't value it, but that's just your opinion, it doesn't mean they're isn't value in it, there just isn't to you.
It's amazing that I and many providers who charge 500+/hr have viable businesses at these rates, and clients like you will sit here and act like most clients only see providers at 300/hr or less, and only for 1hr max appointments. Make it make sense. I get booked for multi days multiple times a years, and most of my appointments are 3hrs plus. Many many MANY clients do not think like you. But there is a market for everyone, some prefer to build a connection, others prefer diversity and to just bust a nut. There are 208 providers (out of 491 total providers) on Tryst (can't search by rate on here) within 30miles of Toronto, that charge 500 or more per hour and this is only those who choose to show their rate on the site, many do not. And in my experience, as my rates went up, clients booked longer appointments, so again, client math, because it's not based in reality.sorry I disagree with you on both points
imagine a guy who makes $20000.00 a year and spends it on you, you would mean a world to him
to your second point
it is my opinion yes, but there some objectivity in it too
lets be realistic $20000.00 is more than 60 1hr visits with a SP at $300 per hour
if one was to have 2 visits per month $20000.00 would cover 30 months
that's almost 3 years of hobbying
someone would have to be really persuasive to convince me or that there is more value in spending one week with one SP
as opposed to spending 3 years having fun with many different SPs
of course there will be some men that for one reason or another disagree but that would be a minority for sure

a lot more value, for you. Literally zero of what you said is objective, please google the meaning of the term.my comment was not about you
I took 300 as average to illustrate a point
even at $500.00 per hour $20000.00 would cover 40 1hr visits
or 20 2 hr visits
or 10 4 hr visits
that's still a lot more value than one week
sorry to make you upset it wasn't my intentiona lot more value, for you. Literally zero of what you said is objective, please google the meaning of the term.
Just because I'm letting you know your argument is flawed doesn't make me upset.sorry to make you upset it wasn't my intention
thanks for chatting with me, it's always nice to hear "the other side"
This reminds me of going to a store the was half hardware store and half bicycle store 30. years ago. I asked the employee to find an Allen key set and we were on the bicycle side of the store where the key set cost at the time, $15.00 we were shocked at the price and went to the hardware side where a key set was $8.00. We asked the owner about the price difference and he said that the cyclists pay more because they believe they are getting a superior product. This applies to so many things including people. Just look at pro athletes and their contracts. We all have our limitssorry I disagree with you on both points

goalsOne of our senior executives has a mistress. He pays her condo, rented car, fur coat, clothes, etc. Not cheap.
No they are not the same thing. Just wondering which is better for some guys---apples or oranges.A mistress and a SP are not the same thing. Do you compare apples to oranges?
Just look at the Toronto housing market to answer your question.How does this relate to my post? I didn't comment on her rate, just her math. On reflection, I suppose that my use of the word entitled does lend itself to that interpretation. Maybe I should have said confrontational, but regardless, I was not commenting on her rate.
"Some folks are willing to pay great sums for the very same product that other would not." Is this your way of saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted."?
