Oh, there are reasons to make that up, as I learned. A certain escort was traveling to my city. I tried setting something up a week ahead of time, but he told me to wait. Once in town, he told me he was totally booked, but would squeeze me in....if I paid a higher and outrageous rate. I stopped responding immediately. If you're going to try and scam me, have the decency to use something original and believable.

I loved how, with Mike, when I asked, "Do you have a blindfold?", he just reached into his bag and grabbed one.

I only know one instance where this happened. According to a regular, a guy tried a bad bill, but it was so obviously counterfeit that he rejected it on first sight. Most counterfeit bills look pretty crappy. I am worried, though, what will happen if you have a stash of older, 1980s hundreds (which use an older design).

Met him twice so far. I enjoyed his company, and he's a nice guy with a good body, but travels a lot, which makes setting up appointments somewhat difficult.

It's not a tip, but after seeing a regular for 5 years at the same rates, I insisted on giving him an "inflation adjustment" after the past year. Mainly because he owns a car and drives to me, and gas prices have exploded.

I recall an escort who was really full of himself (he thought he was a professional model). Really lousy session. At one point, he started laughing at my Asberger's and saying, "You're like Sheldon on Big Band Theory!" This reminded me of a comment I had earlier read on this board - an overweight client got told, "You should be on The Biggest Loser." Gotta admire these lovely attitudes, guaranteed to result in repeat hires...

I was going to say he's "still muscular," then I realized it's been at least 6 years since our only session...

In terms of response time - I was wondering. If some guy was a regular who you knew well and trusted, would you be willing to do an outcall "immediately" if they asked?

This. One reason I don't spend much time chasing high priced visitors is because they apparently think that if they're worth that much money, they're better than everyone else. And they brag a lot, which is a bone killer for me. I still recall a guy who got some photos published, so he thought of himself as a professional model. I kept my mouth shut as to his probable career prospects.

Ditto. On RM, I went to give a visitor 5 stars, but found I was blocked. I figured he was either weirded out by my RP fantasy, or he was afraid he did a bad job and was heading off a bad review. Too bad if it was the second option.

I put on tighty whities that have been slit in strategic places. Then ask them to tear my underwear off.

Damn that's a good find. Have to check his NYC prices though.

It never is. At least it's easy to block their number and RM ad.

No oral, anal, or kissing. Yeah sounds like a deal....

This is a shame. I have relatively new regulars who are hungry for reviews, but $10/month just for that is too much. That's double what Amazon Music costs.

I've heard talk of the "phone number" list as well. It must not be screened, since I have a single "bad" mark, probably my former regular who had a roid rage problem. That's if what I heard from one escort is true.

Have you ever wrapped a fifty around your driver's license? 😄

I'm wondering - what would happen to rates if, in the United States, sex work was legalized, regulated, and taxed like any other kind of work? I can think of several opposing factors.

I have to ask - if you don't want to use RM, is it easy enough to pick up guys for hiring? Or safe?

You want to play with economic data? Below is the very reason I felt 300/hr was too much before the pandemic: Anesthesiologist Average base pay: $164 per hour Orthodontist Average base pay: $118 per hour Psychiatrist Average base pay: $103 per hour Commercial pilot Average base pay: $50 per hour U.S. Marine Corps officer Average base pay: $42 per hour These are from 9 months ago, so feel free to adjust for inflation.

Your co-workers are not your friends. The company you work for is not your family. Your boss isn't really concerned about your well-being. And....

I should also add a caveat- I see people from NYC, California, and overseas visit Chicago and charge these prices. Chicago isn't NYC. Not all providers adjust for location. Their prerogative, but it'll probably hurt their business.

It seems like there's been an influx of inexperienced, young, and high charging escorts as the pandemic subsided. I have a theory. They probably heard what everyone here heard. There's pent up demand, and a lot of extra money out there. Most won't stay long. They're just looking for the chance at quick bucks. I have seen some "inflation" from well-reviewed escorts, but not all. Sometimes that influences my decision; sometimes it doesn't. I personally believe the "standard 300" fee from before the pandemic was too high; maybe the pandemic corrected it.

Well, he didn't even bother returning my text when he visited Chicago, so I suppose he's busy enough.

Yes - I did (I only focused on one person at a time). I generally do this out of courtesy to escorts - I don't want to waste their time or contact them needlessly. However, after reading the feedback on my question, I'm thinking if that's one of the reasons why. If it's common for escorts to text with multiple clients at once, I guess it's okay for me as well. If I would have contacted more potential hires, I would have been more likely to find somebody. Also, I usually schedule ahead of time, because it helps with the logistics. Hiring for the same night puts more pressure on the escort. (I don't think this is what you meant to convey, but I'm afraid that's how I took it 🙂)
