I won 2 tickets to Buffalo in a raffle once. Do you know what second prize was?
A: 4 tickets

Gushers is actually alot of fun! Use to go there after a night of drinking for their late night buffet. Not sure if they still do that? The service was slow, but it was a fun way to sober up before going home.

He escorts in Chicago but made a visit home in Oklahoma the other weekend. He says with my body type and sports interest it could be a good way to set myself apart from the rest. Also, he says there isn’t much Asian representation in this industry which can be good for me haha

Welcome! Nice RM listing...hope you add Atlanta to you list of cities to visit!

@FigureSkater, welcome to the forum! I second the recommendation to review posts by @VictorPowers and also suggest @FTM Zachary Prince because both of them seem to be consummate professionals and have built successful businesses. Some thoughts:
 
1. As with any branding situation, decide what your "brand" is and what you want it to be about. Since you've grabbed the tag, FigureSkater, that's clearly an athletic/jock presentation. That you're Asian is also part of your brand. The assets you've displayed in your pics are intriguing and could certainly apply to a "jock top" or a "jock bottom" or "versatile jock." It all depends on what you want to be professionally and what you're comfortable doing with clients.
 
2. Part of any successful business is "finding your niche" and nailing it. In other words, once you find a success brand/niche/kink for yourself, be the best damn version of that that you can be and you'll attract and retain the clients who are into that brand/niche/kink.
 
3. Even though your communication style plays into your brand--such as Fin Doms who call their clients fags or other derogatory names--it's always important to be on-time and consistent with your communication. There's nothing more frustrating than flaky communicators.
 
4. Be safer because escorting and men who have sex with men are both high-risk demographics for STD and STI transmission and there are highly resistant strains of nearly every known sexually infectious agent in the world now. It's important to know this stuff well and protect yourself. Get your vaccinations, use condoms, consider PrEP if you're engaging in anal sex, especially as a bottom because condoms do break.
 
5. Consider your boundaries and be firm about them. The nature of this work and the "roles" we play in interactions can sometimes blur the lines. Don't put yourself at risk needlessly. That means, if you don't want to have public face pics, don't. You're an Asian in Oklahoma, a very "red" state. Being outed is a real risk for you. Plan accordingly.
 
Have fun! As a client, this is one of my favorite "hobbies" and I'm privileged to have had some incredible experiences. I've certainly learned a great deal about myself.

Hot profile, you got me twitching LOL. OK City I assume is a very limited market, so you'll likely need to be a traveling provider...if true, read all you can on here from Victor Powers who seems to have mastered that gig, he lives in Salt Lake City and makes regular trips to his regular cities to see regular clients. Also, Victor is a master at this trade and you could learn a lot from reading how he approaches his work. Pls put Boston on your list! And good luck!

Your RM ad is outstanding- very well written and tantalizing. Will keep track of your itinerary- you are definitely on my “to do” list. Yum!

Welcome. The world needs more handsome (I'm assuming you are), in shape, grammar and good spelling capable young men who are up for being companions

Thanks for all the great tips! Triple salchow is a figure skating jump haha. As for gushers, I’m assuming that’s the restaurant attached to Habana Inn? I’ve never been into either so I wouldn’t know lol.

Unfortunately Gushers has been closed since the early 2000s.
 
My BF was actually working on a project that would have been included in a buy/remodel of the hotel. But the hotel is under contract to be sold right now. So we’ll see what happens to it in the coming months...

Welcome to the Forum and its colorful, opinionated and wonderful members. Consider a road trip down I-35 to Dallas sometime. It’s a short 3-hour drive from OKC and I think you’d do well here. Or conversely, I need to drive up to OKC and enjoy the incomparable Habana Inn, the largest gay resort complex in the Southwest (a shameless plug, I know) and pay you a visit.
 
Just some simple tips—
 
1. An asking price of $250 is reasonable. Psychologically $300 can be a deal breaker for me.
2. Don’t be a clock watcher. Giving a client an extra 15 minutes will increase your repeat business tremendously. Your client will think he’s found a deal.
3. Many escorts I’ve met are obviously in it for the quick money. If you and your client finish the dirty deed after 30 minutes, lay naked in bed with him and make him feel like he’s got the biggest cock on earth, stroke his ego, whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Make your client feel important and that he’s the center of your universe. After all most clients hire for more than just flat out sex. They hire for intimacy, companionship and human touch. Why more escorts haven’t figured this out is beyond me.
4. Do not attempt a triple salchow as your opening move. A simple lay-back spin will suffice.
5. Word travels fast in this community and it can sometimes be brutal. It can also be very complimentary. Don’t be a flake, show up on time, don’t ask for compensation ahead of time.
6. Don’t be afraid to tell a client NO. If you say you’re into something and you’re not the client will be disappointed and not repeat with you.
 
OK, enough of my mentoring. Good luck to you.
 
P.S. Did Gushers restaurant close?

I just started escorting the other day as a tip from my friend who said I would be a good candidate with it. (https://rent.men/FigureSkater) I need some tips on branding and opinions on rates.
Thanks!

Haha yes on occasion I can do a quad flip or salchow.

It was my very first client

I tend to send a face pic once I get to know them or if they request to see it.

One way to see if the masseuse is a professional in a non confrontational way is to ask if they are an LMT or CMT. If they ask what those acronyms are, you have your answer already about the legitimacy of their practice. And I often find when you ask professionals if they are LMT or CMT they don’t mind answering.
LMT= licensed massage therapist
CMT= certified massage therapist

Masseur = male massage therapist
Masseuse = female massage therapist
(Another data point to see if someone is likely legit, if he calls himself by the wrong title )

I used to think that quasi-holidays (Columbus Day, et al) were good for work: half the couple is off to work and the other half gets it off (as it were).

Congrats on the review! I STILL haven't been reviewed but I also feel weird asking for a review and I think most clients don't like to write reviews, at least where I am lol. Especially since there's also this thing where plenty of escorts prefer to not have reviews, even if they're good ones.
 
You already have a great collection of pics! AND a good video! Better than the pics I currently have posted to my RM ad at the moment lol. Looking at your ad makes me feel like an amateur haha.. I've been meaning to fix my profile up for a while now and this is definitely gonna motivate me to step it up lol. It looks like you're definitely off to a great start!
 
Try to learn something from every client about how you want to be perceived by clients, how you want to interact with them, how you want to handle all sorts of different situations that may come up, etc. I guess it all depends on your niche but I feel like interacting positively with clients is a lot more important than performance in the sexual part of it, although bad performance is still not great and it doesn't at all hurt to be good at a number of different things in bed
 
I'd also say don't worry about 'branding' so much. In a way it's similar, but think more about what niche you'd like to fill, rather than what your 'brand' looks like. One thing I really like about this work is that I don't ever feel like I'm competing with others in my area really, because most people fill a different sort of niche, and even if that difference is very slight, it still makes a world of difference to most clients.
 
As for rates, it's very much dependent on your area. Some people might take it the wrong way but, if you're having trouble figuring out what your normal, standard rate should be.. I wouldn't hesitate to contact other escorts near you, explain that you're new and figuring it out, and ask them what they charge. Just don't let it bother you if anyone gets bitchy about it.
 
Also, I promise I only mean this in the nicest and most flattering possible way. You're young, in great shape, and have a very nice body. You're objectively and conventionally very attractive. Don't let that go to your head. Experienced clients will smell that from a mile away, although some might be into that... (to be fair being a bit full of yourself in that way could totally be part of a niche). Just don't get the idea that you can charge significantly more than other clients purely based on looks. Everyone sorta finds and fills their own niche. No tea no shade, there are plenty of conventionally unattractive escorts that still do quite well. Idk about how things go in the huge west- and east-coast US cities that have tons of providers and clients all over the place, but from what I know experienced clients tend to expect your rate to be relatively similar to others in the same area, and having a higher rate usually has more to do with having more reviews, being more well-known, etc. Since you're just starting out I'd even suggest low-balling a bit at first, not to undercut people but to give clients a little incentive to try out the 'new guy'.
 
Before this gets way too long even though it already has, the only other thing I want to add is if you haven't already, put more thought into putting up one or two face pictures. That's completely up to you though -- you'll see clients posting on here about how they would never even click on an ad if the first picture didn't have the escorts face in it, but really that's only some clients. Not having a face picture up might hurt your chances of being hired a little bit, but in general I believe it's always worth it to do whatever feels right for you, even if it's something that you're worried about hurting your chances of being hired, because in the end doing whatever feels right for you just helps you fill a more and more unique niche.

It was my very first client
