To clarify: I'm not negotiating rates at all in this situation. I say "this is what I'm comfortable spending (ideally with these couple ideas in mind), what can we do with this?" and the amount total is greater than the sum of the highest rate x 2 so it's they don't generally have to come down on anything, but rather how we spend our time, and who gets what $ (if I'm gonna spend more time with one vs the other), is the only thing they have to decide.I think most would be kind of insulted by it. and I would tend to agree with them. Although there has been a trend to offer specials in duos by various ladies doing exactly that coming to a mid point price arrangement for both.
I wouldn’t mind booking one of their duo specials seeing as they are making the offer but trying to negotiate one when it isn’t offered no I would never do that.
I accept that if I am going to book a duo the higher priced ladies rate will apply to both, to me that is fair and the right thing to do and any gentleman should be prepared to accept that. It would be improper and demeaning to pay one of them less in a duo and I don’t negotiate with SP I can either afford to pay what they ask or not.
As an example, in one scenario they both agreed to spend equal time all three of us together, some social and some play, and they split the total evenly (in line with the most expensive sp rates). In another scenario, one wanted to do dinner beforehand and the other was going to meet us at the hotel afterwards, so the breakdown was $X for one, $Y(less) for the other.
