Asking about orally talented providers always seems to get a weird response—crickets or nastiness.

He’s been around forever—20 years at least. In and out of the business numerous times, although not recently. Never tempted. There were threads on him back in his heyday, but probably gone now.

It’s an expensive hobby and you do what anyone does with an expensive hobby, you either figure out how to save or you’re lucky enough to have a large income. There’s always an emphasis on the most outrageous prices, even though the average provider didn’t raise their prices 50-100%. Travel, theater tickets and other often costly hobbies have gotten more expensive, too, along with necessities. We had a long period without much inflation in any major cost items except maybe housing, but part of the apparent runupi. Provider prices are those at the extremes who often don’t know the market or were able to cash in on the early days of OF. For a variety of reasons I didn’t hire for a few years, but even though Ifind it more costly, but relative to every5hing else, not that outrageous.

There are a few 6 year programs in the US that combine BA and MD. Not sure med school allows enough time for OF. College easily does.

Which guy showed up? Which one ghosted? Maybe we need some more active moderation on this thread or at least posters who are clear about whom they are discussing.

There are other legit providers who are older than him and students, like Colton in Cleveland. The more salient question is why he doesn’t have reviews, even though he’s not a newbie.

The thread still has the posts about another provider which the moderators should separate or delete. Some of the complaints refer to that other provider.

This isn’t very useful without mentioning names, at least for people you still see.

Try calling the the many hotels at Crystal City. One Metro stop away from a DCA. There’s a Marriott near the Mestro and a half dozen other established franchises within walking distance.

He's been around for a very long time and I think some of those picks are quite old. He's probably close to 40.

I've been looking, too, but had no trouble with the search. This one has actual info.

I spent time with his then partner (who bottomed) just before COVID. At that time, Luke (who came up with him but didn’t stay) looked as good as ever. More recent pics would help to confirm that he’s continued to age well.

Years ago, the writer and escort, John Preston noted that twinkish escorts didn’t know how to run a business. I suspect what gets attributed to the generation of the moment is just that. They’re not organized, the don’t have a vocabulary or attitude for effectively communicating with guys much older than hey are, esp. if hey don’t have “daddy” interests.

There’s long been websites and, before that, publications focusing on independent travelers. They’ve always skewed young because there is usually an emphasis on saving money and doing things that are a bit often the beaten path or at least not overwhelmed by package tourists. This backpacker type travel requires some degree of physical fitness, too. I’ve done lots of this kind of traveling and have been able to do it much longer than I expected. There also are lots of older, independent travelers, which I’ve noticed more as I get older (but noticed even ages ago; they tended more to be straight couples from Europe). There is probably more content now that addresses women and older travelers. Gays might be too niche to generate a lot of content although I think you can find gay travel sites that include solo traveler hints, esp. for SE Asia. Gays always have been a part of the independent travel community, more so in certain destinations than others, particularly overseas. Personally, I find the thought of going to Vegas or Wilton Manors depressing, with or without company, and if typical gay destinations in the US are your thing, you won’t find much relating to solo travel to those places. They really don’t fit the ethos of what motivates most independent travelers, with the possible exceptions of Ptown or Key West, which in past times were the kind of places that attracted a wide variety of people who didn’t want to go to a typical “resort”. To get back to thread topic…..if you primarily want companionship, I’d have to suggest getting a referral from someone here or your regular life. Otherwise, you’d want to go with someone whom you know already. As has been mentioned on the overnight and other long-term hire threads, you need someone who will trust you and whom you can trust and enjoy as company for long periods of time. I know there are people who, for geographic reasons, can’t do a trial run very often, but you still need to cover the trust and communication bases and a referral would enable you to do that. Escorts often will give a better rate to a repeat client if they’re interested in the destination and depending on the expenses you’d need to cover, the whole thing may cost about the same as a multi day hire with an RM guy.

Another way to think of it is as a classic Plan B occupation, like real estate or many areas of sales. The opportunity presents itself or they know or discover someone who already is doing it. Also, there are reasons for starting and often other reasons for staying. It’s a relatively efficient way to generate cash flow, it allows non-traditional hours which can be useful for other things like school, avocations or pursuits like art or writing that can take years, at best, to become primary occupations. You have to be good at it to make a long-term go of it and it helps to have a greater than average sex drive and some openness to sexual experience.

He responded to an initial email, asking about travel to Cleveland. He said to just give him notice. I indicated I’d be there in about a week and mention a multi hour appt. Never received a response. He has OF—not sure I can post the name because it gets you closer to his personal info. The one thing I learned was that he’s about to be married (to a guy). I wonder how committed he is to escorting, despite running the ad.

I saw the interview. It doesn't add up and neither does he. He works full time and has 3 other jobs? I noticed that he has a lot of content on OF, but he makes it sound like he doesn't. He seems to be escorting so he can travel to do OF. He talks about depression, yet he works in a field full of judgment about physical stuff and in a business where he's needs to be attentive of others' possibly troubling experiences.---doesn't sound like a good fit.

A very odd thread. OP asked a fairly straightforward question, grammar aside. Yet, he’s only gotten one real answer. The general question of who’s a good escort for older guys has been asked repeatedly but not recently answered without all the snark and silliness. There are plenty of older posters here and plenty from the East Coast, so I’m sure there is plenty of wisdom to be offered. Is it that OP agave a specific number for his age? Are posters afraid to out themselves? It’s a simple question and it deserves some answers.

Jason is a terrible interviewer---he either talks over guests or doesn't know what to do with them. The few I've watched have had chatty guys who had some interesting experiences. Jason lacks real curiosity and seems uncomfortable with a lot of things--drag, gender diversity, and apparently non-monogamy of all things. He also seems uncomfortable discussing escorting. Jason insists on being on camera, often with some sort of pose (cigar smoking, etc.).

OP--are you going to be there for an extended period or just for a short trip? My impression is that the providers there are relatively expensive regardless and that should be a consideration. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of direct experience and only one person who has experience in Muslim countries. Others--this has become a major business destination (so some wind up there for work) as well as a place with futuristic architecture and a lot of hype for being "glamorous". I could see doing a layover out of curiosity (I did this in Qatar) but it sounds like the kind of bucket list destination which wouldn't appeal to me for a long visit. I recently met someone who mistook the UAE hype for what the "Arab world" and "Arab cultures" were like--having travelled in Jordan, Syria and Egypt and having known people with long-term connections to Lebanon and North Africa, it was easy to disabuse him of that.

Members here, whether clients or providers, have come and gone. Some stay for a long time, some come and go. Some providers who are members have been sharp in their responses to criticisms, others not so much. The most vociferous responses to criticism often comes from “fanboys”, whether providers ask them to do it or they do it on their own, that’s often a pattern. Some of the providers here seem to enjoy the community, others, usually short-timers mostly are building their brand. There are now more social media venues for that, so we seem to have fewer short time provider participants.

The Search function is your friend. CalFurey has been discussed numerous times and I think the last thread includes his previous name. Dario also has been discussed numerous times, but not lately.

Yes, a client is buying fantasy but that doesn't mean that any and all fantasies are up for consideration. Plus-ones for weddings, etc. can be all manner of persons in an individual's life and even if people assume "they're dating", you don't have to create an impression of anything serious and heh easiest way to introduce someone is as "a friend" and to say "I thought he might enjoy" the occasion.. If OP's client wanted an elaborate backstory and behavior suggesting a very close relationship, I could see opting out of that---it turns something simple into a lot of work.

This has been discussed so many times.....when providers talk about their clientele, the youngest end of the spectrum seems to be mid/late 30s. The higher end seems to vary a lot but at least falls into the 50s, although some will report well into the 70s. and few, like Hagen have had even older clients There are some long-term past/present posters who were in their 80s. When I've attended DC meet-ups. I would guess that ages ranged from late 40s to 70s. The long-term guys for whom this is a profession are accustomed to their clients being older, sometimes quite older than them. Some, like Mike Gaite have indicated that they've always been into guys older than themselves. If there's going to be a problem it will be among younger guys, new to the occupation. The youngest guys tend to be disorganized as business people which makes me glad I'm not interested in twinks. There is huge turnover within the first month of an ad and some others don't last more than a few months. The best advice if you want to avoid perceived rejection is to wait and see who establishes themselves and to look at comments here. If you're self conscious about your appearance, join a gym and get into a program of exercise and diet. You'll live longer and ultimately will be happier. Again, providers for whom this is a profession or at least a long-term gig, will have seen it all and will accept the range of guys they see. Newbies---well, wait and see who sticks around. If you're self-conscious, you probably don't want to be someone's "training case".
