    A half hour appointment is fully consistent with the Mike Gaite brand. I’ve had plenty of half-hour appointments, so I don’t actually see why this is a silly question. Sometimes, I only have a half-hour time window to entertain company, so I only take 30 minute appointments. It’s fine if other sophisticated providers want to build 90 or 120 minute minimums into their appointment structures. That’s not my modus operandi.
     
    In fact, I’ve done appointments shorter than 30 minutes. I’ve had a queue of clients lining up for five or ten minute sessions without feeling sleazy about it. Of course such things have happened in the back rooms when I’ve danced/appeared in bars or done private parties. I understand the limitations of those short experiences, but I’ll do them occasionally for variety. I enjoy the multiweek trips and the five minute appointments and everything in between. The person I’m with matters a lot more to me than the appointment duration.

    Mikegaite got a reaction from marylander1940 in How do you set a travel rate?   
    Here’s what your offering:
     
    Flight stipend (I would offer a stipend sfo-seattle round trip assuming this is the rsvp Alaska cruise to/from Seattle)
    Cruise fee
    Excursions
    Bar tab
    Opportunity to work: there are a lot from my experiences on cruises. It’s also a great networking opportunity for the escort to meet other clients who want to book him
    for cruises.
    JFF/OF filming content: a total cash cow if you are doing 3ways and/or have a videographer as the 3rd person.
     
    I would set a price based on the total you spend on this individual per year. I would also would adjust based on how much you’re spending on the trip. For example, I would drop by price by 20 or 30 percent for a brand g cruise versus a carnival cruise bc I know I’m getting a higher-end experience with the former.
     
    Here are some data points for what other escorts have told me they charged per week or what clients told me they paid: 2k, 4k, 6k, 8k.
     
    I’m not sure how I would price things given that I know he charges 300/hour 600/2hours and 1000/overnights since that’s not the rate progression I would expect as we increase in time. He should be increasing his rates at a decreasing rate as the number of hours increases but a normal curve would slope more gradually down than one based on those rates.
     
    I would just offer something simple: 4k plus flights plus bar tab plus 4 excursions, 4 hours with other clients, 4 hours of filming with other people.
     
    When I’m with a client who doesn’t want to talk money, the conversation would just go like this:
    Client: 3 (it’s a reasonable offer: I personally wouldn’t be insulted by it even though I would decline it)
    Me: 7
    Client: meet in the middle at 5, everything else negotiated once on board the ship.
     
    I remember the experiences from weeks or weekends I have spent with clients, not how much money I made. If you both want to spend time with each other, you’ll both make it work. If not, you’ll each find someone else to spend time with.
     
    Lastly, you absolutely need to set expectations on two things: sleeping around and drugs. These are the two things clients consistently complain about to me with other escorts on trips.

    I’ve worked with HairyMuskyMuscle and would work with him again. I don’t think his failure to respond had anything to do with how you look or what you’re looking for. People overlook texts and emails and phone calls. It happens across all industries. I wouldn’t read anything else into it.

    I’m glad you posted this, Dave. As you and I discussed, this reviewer, under multiple screen names, has given me a slew of one-star reviews on Rentmen. I don’t really engage with him, but Rentmen won’t remove the one-star reviews. I’ve never met him since he always stands me up, but I’m pretty sure I know who he is and why he is trying to malign me. Luckily, rather than hurt my business, these bad reviews encourage others to post positive reviews defending me, thus obviating the intended besmirching of my reputation. I’ve had a lot of dud experiences, but never a 1-star experience. I’ve never spoken up publicly for fear of retaliation by this person since I have heard stories of his turning violent. I’m glad other people are calling this person out on his shenanigans.

    I post a slew of photos in an attempt to give potential clients less of a fantasy about what I look like and more of a reality of what I actually look like. More photos give more insight into my appearance even on my bad days. I don't want to appear so hideous as to turn too many people away, but I am willing to present a more complete picture of myself rather than my best self and let the chips fall where they may. I would rather meet the people who will take me at my ugliest than the people who think I'm just borderline attractive enough to be worth hiring.
     
    Showing less is ultimately sexier and more attractive than showing more, but I personally feel more comfortable presenting a more comprehensive image of myself rather than luring people in. I'm not trying to look my best on screen just to look worse when I meet someone in person.

    Mikegaite got a reaction from + HornyRetiree in How many negative reviews on RM?   
    It's a common misconception on these boards that you can easily have negative reviews removed. I don't know why other providers are able to have their negative reviews deleted, but I cannot. I have a bunch of one-star reviews on rentmen, about four or five, from people I've never met. I tried, repeatedly, to have them deleted, but rentmen repeatedly refused, citing the fact that I had corresponded with the reviewers as evidence of the legitimacy of the reviews.
     
    I've had lots of dud experiences in which people wouldn't rehire me if I were the last person on earth, but I didn't do anything so horrible to those people as to merit their posting a negative review. The bad reviews make it seem as if I have a drug or alcohol problem or am a thief or harasser or am grossly mipresenting myself in some way. If people don't want to patronize a business because two or three percent of its reviews are bad, I can't lose sleep over it.
