Decatur Guy

I understand that feeling. Especially when I first started hiring. I felt like, "I'm so ugly it's come to this." I still get that way at times, but mostly I like the convenience. And what I lack in looks, I make up for in respect, likability, enthusiasm and reliability. I have a couple of guys who have quit advertising but still see me. And I know I get lower than the going rate.

I had a major thing for Jason Branch. I would have paid a "fame tax" for him! Blake Harper was sexy, too. 

Red flags:

Profiles with just a few pictures and just a few words in the descriptions.
Providers asking for a deposit upfront.
Profiles with pictures that I recognize from five or 10 years ago.
Pro-active complaints about clients.
Super vague descriptions.
Name changers (I don't mind one name change, but when it becomes a habit).

I've never had a session where WS was the main focus, but I've definitely had times where we discussed it as something to do at some point during the visit. 

I won't bring up WS unless it's listed in his profile already. I have a couple of regulars who really enjoy being WS givers, so it's now integrated into the planning. They hydrate ahead and I have plenty of water and/or beer on hand upon arrival. I can't do it unless the provider is well hydrated.

Yes, I like to chat afterward. If nothing else, I like to tell them what I liked about the encounter.

From the perspective of a client: If some gives me a discount (let's say $300 instead of his usual $350), he goes to the top of my "call-first" list.

I make an exchange after but I show them envelop at the start. I mostly meet with regulars, so it's no issue. 

Some of us like to hire guys in their 40s and beyond.

I tend to stay within a pretty set range per hour: $200 to $300 pre-pandemic. $250 to $350 post-pandemic. I can't of anyone who I was so interested in that was willing to do $500 an hour, etc. 

I find that the providers at the lower end of my range are often just as good or better than the ones at the higher end, and they are the ones who become regulars. I prefer to have around four (maybe five) providers to call upon regularly vs. always trying out new folks. 

I once got DP'd by Andrew Justice and Sean Xavier. I think that was $500 for an hour, but that broke down to just $250 per guy. And it was worth it.
