That thread is from 7 years ago. I was naive and unexperienced as hell and to a large extent closeted. Interesting. I truly forgot about it.

Don't forget about Miami. After New York, it is likely the most competitive city for escorts in the USA. Then I guess it's L. A.? I'm surprised Las Vegas isn't listed. Or is Vegas not really good for escorting? Someone on another thread said it was risky for the business.

I think New York is in the upper first-tier range while Chicago in the lower. In my definition it's not really about how big a city is but more about how expensive and competitive. Houston and Phoenix (for example) are bigger than both Boston and San Francisco and to me they are 2nd-tier cities ranking lower than those two.

Can give example of what you consider "second-tier" cities? To me first-tier citied would be: New York San Francisco D. C. Los Angeles Miami Chicago Boston San Diego

If it gives you an idea, I've been profiled by gay dudes lol. As I got older it doesn't happen as much anymore though. There was one time this hot porn actor and I met on Grindr while I was visiting L. A. and we decided to hook up. He didn't believe I was gay at first. Long story. I think there is a line between straight-acting and masculine.

Well, I do. It's also in my profile.

Would that be a problem if it was market research? I don't think so. I think some people assumme I'm straight because of the way I carry myself. Even some of my gay friends at first told me I was supposedly "too suave" to be gay. Whatever that means. I personally think it has something to do with my New York urban Latino swagger. I absorbed it unconsciously.

I have "bi" in my profile and used to have "gay" and "ask me" before. I would never change it to "straight" because I'm simply not straight. I used to identify as "bi" at some point in my life but that was probably me being funny. I think you are assumming. That's not cute. Half of the escorts in the business do not kiss. I don't know what's surprising about it. Escorts are entitled to have their limitations. Why would I bottom? I've never bottomed in my life.

That seems quite fair to me.

Well, not only straight providers don't kiss. My clients usually don't ask for kissing. But that's because they figure out from my profile.

Well, someone that has an erection to have sex with another man can't be straight. But this is just my opinion.

Would you rather hire a bi, gay or straight provider? I ask because a lot of clients find the idea of having sex with a straight or bi man more exciting. Most of my clients usually assume I'm straight. Do you think identifying as bi, gay or straight makes a different when trying to find potential clients?

You already learnt my experience. I talked about it recently. This is what is making think cheap client are not healthy. Why would you deny a client the shower after he traveled hours to see you? Other escorts would have asked for a uber. But I agreed anyways. He took advantage.

He is the exception. I wouldn't do it for 250 honestly. I did it once and had to travel. The client was cheap and didn't allow me to take a shower after I traveled 2 hours to see him across the Hudson. Cheapest clients tend to be the worst.

300 not in NYC anymore.

It's too informal.

Sooo damn rude. A lot of us are educated. I graduated with a decent GPA myself. Many just escort as a side job for extra income or because they simply like to travel and think is good money where you can take several breaks.

They should be deposits for people that ask to see nudes "o see what "they will pay for".

Deposits are needed. I talk from my experience. I already had a few bad ones where the client blocks after I travel for them. A lot of the times they just want to take advantage of us to collect nudes. Other times they just jerk at our replies because they see us as a fantasy. It's really bothersome. Now I understand why some providers have limited interactions with everyone that texts them. I'm always too nice. 29 out of 30 interactions I have is people playing games.

But cancelling twice in a row when you are just visiting? Hmmmm

Is it okay if the escort asks for a deposit after a client cancels hours in advance? How do feel about it? I'm genuinely curious.

I've done 500 a couple of times for 2 hours. But that’s outside NYC. In New York City nobody has hired for so long except for one guy (I charged him 550 for 2 hours). We didn't do anal. He was very nice and paid for my ubers. Do you think 500 is too little in NYC? My friend charges 700. I thought the point was to encourage people to hire you for longer.

350 in the city since I'm a newbie with only one review in my profile. I don't consider that expensive. I've done 300 a few times but regretted it. I did 200 for 30 minutes one time but no anal involved. I only do travels. I'm not into into cheap customers honestly. If someone thinks 350-400 for a escort in New York City is a lot then hiring is not their thing. I hate when certain clients like to act entitled as if they have the right to tell others what's their value is. Unless the escort is scamming people no one has that right. If you think someone is expensive just move on and hire someone else. It's their bodies and minds at the end of the day.

In New York City? Ummm That used to be the standard before the pandemic. It's been almost five years since 2019. Plus don't forget the inflation. I think 300 for an hour should be the standard for cities like Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Tampa, etc. What about 2 hours?

I mean for a regular escort (not a porn star nor anything like it). People will say those that are "hotter" will be more expensive. But the thing is that what is hot for me may not be for others. In other words, if someone is looking for a beefy not as lean mature men is because such type is what the hiring person considers a 10. I don't think 300 or 350 should be the standard price here in NYC anymore. That's not a decent amount of money for someone who is in the business here. Hiring escorts should be a luxury in my honest opinion.
