Over the years, I’ve found that terser communications are now the norm and I deal with that fact. Also, if you’re interested in engaging a hot 20-something, you also may need to sell yourself as a client, as annoying as that may be to some forum contributors. Some of the hotties whom I’ve met have stated that my approach and attitude persuaded them to meet with me rather than others. We’re dealing with young men who perhaps aren’t always sure they want to jump into this line of work; however, among that cohort I’ve found many hotties with whom I’ve developed longer-term and very satisfactory relationships. I’ve learned to leave my ego behind when engaging some very desirable candidates and have been well rewarded.
