Never considered bisexuality, never had sex with a woman, would never entertain the idea of a female client. I also never bottom. But only because being the dom top feels more natural to me... totally gay, totally top, but do love a talented tongue between my cheeks.

Can we stop talking about vaj**J** please? I am gay and the very thought of anything related to va***a totally grosses me out. Thank you.

Thank you!

I totally agree with what is being said about not adjusting your business model based on one (or even a few) bad apples. I would be upset at first too, if it happened to me. But I try to look at the net benefit I enjoy from this enterprise, and if I am getting what I want out of it or seeing the overall results I am hoping for, I would consider that type of occurance just a cost of doing business.

I have not. I have turned down more than a couple of offers of two escorts/one client though. Doesn't really interest me. But I am interested in making a video with the right escort that we could both use in our profiles. Just haven't found the right match for that yet. And if I met a colleague who became a friend with benefits, I wouldn't be opposed to that either.

Rico, I may have misread the room, but I had the impression that most of us had no problem with your MO, some may have been miffed that they are too old, but resigned to knowing where they stand. You may not have been here for a while but you didn't need to. Any newcomers can read what you have already posted, and although they may want to engage you in yet another conversation, that wouldn't change the outcome. I can't think of any new questions they could raise.

True. Just as it is rare that any of my potential clients has a problem with my MO, it is rare that anyone on here does either. The only reason I shared a new thought on the subject is because someone new just commented on it. It still surprises me that anyone at all would take offense to the way I do things, but it hasn't had a negative impact on my business, so, as I said, it's all just theoretical.

Seems like forever since I was posting in this thread. I did have a new take on it though. My rates are for time spent only, so I would not reject a client because of age or because he will not provide stats and either a pic or meeting in advance. I just would not commit to any sexual activity as part of the appointment. Fortunately, this is really all theoretical, because the cases where a potential client thinks I should commit to some kind of sexual encounter with no idea what he looks like is extremely rare. I can't even think of the last time someone said no when I asked and at least 90% unhesitatingly send me a pic once they feel comfortable with me. A potential client refusing is rare enough that when it happens, I am not losing anything by simply saying that I don't work that way and booking another client instead.

I think you'll find a lot of value to participating in the forum but you might want to wait longer than a few weeks to make that determination.

 

Also, clients won't always tell you how they found out about you or where they've checked you out. That's OK - that's their business.

 

To me, the value of participating in this forum comes from the change to be part of the community. This is a chance to let folks know who you are and what you're about.

This forum has brought me a lot of new business since back when I wrote that post and I participate almost on a daily basis. I guess that's why it says "Master" under my name now.

On Topic

 

Here's one of my Favorite "Clients say the Darndest things"

 

 

From Guy's you havent even met yet ... " Hey man, I plan on Hiring You often and am looking for a Regular. Anyway You can Reduce Your Rate since I'll be seeing You so much?"

Hahaha! My motto is never reduce your fee. I would rather lose a potential client than start negotiating the value of my services on a case by case basis. If my fee feels expensive to them, I worry that, at any amount, they are spending money they can't afford to spend anyway. And the worst feeling I could ever leave a client with is regret! That is also the reason I often hesitate to do "right now" requests from new clients.

"Cum is extra $$$"

Ridiculous! Any escort who would say that is one to run away from fast. He has no idea of the importance of relationship building with clients. When he starts asking for extra money for things that are generally part of a sexual encounter, in my view, he is not respecting the client.

"I only do penetration on Overnights"

 

"I am going to the gym now so I can look hotter for you"

 

"I don't post a face picture because it affects my brand"

The first and last one are bizarre, but the 2nd one I say very often when I have to leave a conversation to go to the gym, because it is true. It's not the only reason I go to the gym, but I am certainly thinking about looking hotter for my clients when I work out.

Only thing I ask for is a cell number. As for a name, you can call yourself anything but at the end of the night your going to be my be called my cocksucker or my lil bitch or daddy whichever you like

 

I remember when I first started escorting, I would not ask for nothing, no number, no face pics, I would literally meet some random guys on a corner but now that I know better I have their number bc having just an email always makes someone to flake lol.

 

I also asked for age, because the OLDER the BETTER and hotter. OMG I love my 40, 50,60,70 and 80+ year old clients.

I don't know I've always been naturally attracted to wayyy older guys since I was a teen

It's nice that you can ask for age but all hell breaks loose, when I comment that I do as well. I wonder why they think you have a right to prefer older men. Shouldn't you also love

Just a heads up, Rentmen reviews aren't that well trusted and respected here. And for good reasons, Rentmen is all too quick to remove negative reviews, and there is no real verification process there even for positive reviews.

 

You'll find most of us consider daddy's reviews the "gold standard", most trusted for many many years

Good to know. Business has been going about as well as I would like, so I'm still not sure if there is any benefit to participating in this forum. So far only one of my clients has mentioned daddy's reviews so I'm not sure how that all works.

Yes

Good to know. See my last reply to you.

Well I commented elsewhere that @TopTierTop has the right to advertise as he wishes. Everyone worth it gets a review eventually (most likely) and he will get clients with his ad/looks.

Lots and lots of "not reviewed" gents out there making a good living at the rates they ask...

Thanks Mike. I am still confused why anyone who doesn't want to hire an escort that asks for stats etc. doesn't just hire someone else. I am not putting down escorts who don't ask for that information. It just blows my mind that some guys actually think that being in this business means signing away any control over it. If I am happy with how business is going and don't mind losing clients who prefer a different approach, why would that cause anyone to become hostile? Very confusing.

yup

 

funny how some play the jumping through hoops card without having the reviews to back it up

Check my reviews on rentmen. They speak for themselves. Nobody has to jump through hoops. Just provide basic information. Why do some guys insist on taking all the joy out of something they should be just good fun. I suppose some trolling is to be expected on any online forum.

I am new to this forum but not to this business. Is some trolling to be expected in here?

Why would anyone pay $500 when they can get the best (me) for $300?

I've been corresponding with an 18 year old advertising on RM. His hourly rate is insanely low ($100 an hour - with the question, "with or without sex?"), but he won't discuss any further until I provide him with my age (on my RM profile), my name, and pics. He's indicated that all are required before we meet. Neither his pics nor his ID are verified on the site, and he's only been a regular member for a month. I know it's not a standard request, but is it best to walk away??

While it is not necessarily the first thing I ask for, I would never book an appointment with a potential client who is not willing to share their stats and send some sort of face pic. I understand that some guys are not comfortable with that so I do offer the option of meeting in person over coffee or something.

A client, of course, has the option to find an escort who will accept any client without any conditions, but to say that an escort should have no say in who his client is sounds demeaning. Why should it be the only occupation that does not get to decide which clients are a good match for them? Mutual respect should be a part of any encounter.

I get asked for stats and pics pretty frequently...

I think some escorts just want to be sure that I'm someone they'll be able to "deliver" for.

 

And given how many pics are floating around - especially on Grindr - I figure it's not such a big deal anymore.

 

BUT, I keep face and body/dick pics totally separate...

 

Am I nuts?
