I think GFE is when your date treats you like her boyfriend...allows you to kiss her passionately (DFK) and performs BBBJ. And I think PSE would be all that plus multiple pops, maybe a pearl necklace or some toys- stuff you see in pornos (Oh, and they DO use condoms in pornos unless all their health paperwork is valid and constantly updated). Some people include trips to Greece in PSE- I DO NOT (but a person may consider it if advance notice is given AND she was tipped a substantial amount...say $200 extra). That's just MY opinion. And I would think that non-GFE is probably a 45 minute date with no kissing and romantic stuff, more business like. Again, that's just my opinion!
What's my opinion on negotiating?
Guys need to remember that we have alot of expenses- and that is reflected in our prices. I hate haggling. On my side, I'm paying $50 right off the top of every appointment for screening and secretarial service, I also pay at least $200 every month on Eros (up to $375/month- they are expensive) not to mention all the other ads I pay for...$20-80 on Backpage and other local and visiting ads and banners. I also pay anywhere from $125 to $175 PER NIGHT for the nice hotels you come to see me in. I haven't even started on the cost of travel, meals, supplies- or my sexy lingerie and all my other living expenses (car, house, family support- yes, I do support my parents). In any given week of my tour I end up spending over $1500 for the bare necessities of my work...so please, guys- when you start trying to negotiate my prices and services, remember that I have these obligations and don't assume that I am making a ton of cash because when it comes down to it and I've taken care of everyone else...there isn't a huge amount left for me. I just wanted you guys to get a feel for what I go through in my mind when I hear complaints about my rates, okay? I probably pocket about $100 or less from my appointments, so I know the economy is bad, trust me.
On advance appointments?
Okay, advance appointments are great because they give me an idea on whether or not to buy a hotel room, which I hate doing for just one appointment. If it was a perfect world, all guys would book in advance and I could schedule 2 or 3 for one day instead of one each day for 3 days. That means I could schedule things to do while I'm touring too- instead of my usual not leaving the room for fear I may miss an appointment that's scheduled last minute. I would love to actually SEE the city I tour in...like Boston and Baltimore, which I've been to a few times, but never really 'seen'. It would definately cut down on alot of boredom. Also, it would save me unproductive, horrible trips like Indianapolis where it costed more to go there than I made- advance appointments would cut that sort of stuff down a bit.
On timewasters? No call- No shows?
Now I am a very laid back and understanding person, but it really pisses me off when I lose money due to nocall-noshows. I understand totally if your plans fall through, or your wife calls, or if you have an upset tummy, or you just plain change your mind...but if you wait until 5 minutes before your appointment to cancel (especially if I have turned down another 'good' appointment) you are just an outright jerk. And if you do not show up and do not call to cancel YOU WILL BE BLACKLISTED and ladies will turn you down. Trust me, there are alot of sites who list their bad clients and nocall-noshows fill up half the pages, word gets around. And some of you even turn your phones off because you don't have balls enough to say "sorry, can't make it". That's all it takes, just TELL US instead of being an ass. Wow, that sounded bitchy! But I have had this happen a few times where I have lost another client or had to reschedule or push back a client- all for nothing, a nocall-noshow. I have no problems at all if you're running late, I run late too sometimes...so don't be afraid to communicate.
Speaking of communicating:
I don't mind at all if guys send me emails or IM me. Now, I do have an answering service and I won't give my private number (I've done that before and after a few calls while I'm having dinner with my family or the drunken 4am calls, I changed my number!) I'm happy to answer emails (it may take a couple of days if I'm off or with family since mom lives without internet) but all my emails - annakatiana@aol.com do come directly to me and me only. So lets talk online if you want, sure.
On your job?
I love my job and I do it well. I'm not one of those girls who wastes all her money shopping for designer clothes and jewelry. I wear a frickin' plastic ring out of a gumball machine. I don't party, I'm a homebody. I even crochet. I'm responsible with the money I make and I think that makes a big difference. A couple of people ask me why I do this. Well, it's a pretty long answer, but I'll try to sum it up. My ex got everything and ruined our credit so I had to start all over. I tried the 9-5 as a legal sec. and office mgr., but at that pay, and wanting to be completely independant not being indebted to anyone- I wasn't going to get anywhere fast. Like everyone else, I want a house and all that. So I tried dancing, porn, and then worked for an agency for a while. I really don't think it's a bad job, I mean all women have sex for one reason or another...a new car, dishwasher, dream vacation- is it such a huge difference to simplify that by dating for money? I don't feel bad about what I do and neither should my clients. Wives should understand and appreciate the fact that if a man is dating me for money, it is SO much better than having a real affair with someone. What I share is my time and my affection, but there is no true love and no danger of me stealing another woman's man. This is simply a job, but certainly one that I enjoy.
