I recently had a potential client asking me about my rates and availability for a 2hr session in south Seattle.
I live in West Olympia, and driving to King County takes over an hour. I've spent my first week on here editing and updating my profile to list rates that I consider reasonable and that also properly compensate me for time and travel expenses.
When this cuddler reached out to me and told me his location, I had to update the distance details on my profile. We had not yet proposed or agreed on a booking. He then proceeded to tell me that he DEMANDED my lower rates, which are for local clients and those who are close travel such as Pierce, Mason, and Lewis Counties.
I want to say here that while I understand cultural differences, it is very important to be careful about your language. As a professional, I will not book with someone who makes demands of me, especially when I feel that those demands would ultimately cause me hardship or leave me under compensated.
