    JB_Studio38 got a reaction from + Just Sayin in Are subsequent sessions different?   
    I find subsequent sessions always get better with time. The first time is like exploring new territory, it may be good but both guys are not familiar with each other yet. There’s a difference between feeling out how to pleasure someone the first time, versus already anticipating that you know it’ll be good on the next visits.

    Personally, I almost feel like we’re in a somewhat Covid re-make right now. Flu, cold and other viruses been going around, the politics and Ice in the news everyday probably has people feeling viral as well. 
    I’m thinking of temporarily retiring because it’s been slow. Last week I went to 3 cities: only had 2 clients, both regulars which I enjoy…but that’s a lot of commute and days spent.
    Also: winter business in a place like Michigan may be different than in a place like Florida. However going where it’s “high season” often comes with the added caveat of much higher hotel prices.

    JB_Studio38 got a reaction from Nikba in Do snowy days negatively affect business?   
    Just had a rouge storm come thru yesterday in my area that left about 2-3 inches of snow. I had a same day booking request that I was considering to take, but by the time I got the needed details and was about to schedule: the snow started coming down. I checked Google maps and even though the roads in my area were okay, closer to Kansas City I noticed a backup in both directions and an accident.  KC seems to always get more snow (and worse drivers 🤢) so I ended up telling him I wouldn’t be able to meet due to the conditions. And it’s not just going there, it’s coming back too. 
     
    I think if anything: people seem to reach out MORE for outcalls, when it’s snowing. It’s like, no. I’m not 911 or Superman. I know it seems warm and cozy but…it’s not fun being stressed on the way to/from a booking. Same thing with summer thunderstorms. I was on my way to a client last year, the highway turned into a river and a few cars stalled out. He’s blowing up my phone texting like, are you here? Are you close? Are you on your way still???
    I didn’t even bother reading his message’s until I pulled up in the driveway. It’s like dude, you see the weather. Fucking chill out and be patient. I don’t like being rushed when the weather is already bad.
    If a client does want to meet in bad weather: expect to wait an additional 2 to 4 hours, and try to avoid same day booking requests. If the weather is going to bad, planning a day in advance will at least give me a chance to coordinate my timing around it.

    I think gnats have better attention spans. Have you ever seen how they elude getting picked up in a glass of wine 🤣 
    That said, I try not to take it personal: but it makes me less prone to respond to messages where guys ask, “Are you available today/now or “you around tonight”. 
     
    I did speak to a client the other week, and he mentioned how there are “flakes” on RM. Though he didn’t just refer to age.

    Your observations are spot on about clients and customers in every industry! Although, I believe the escort providers, have more than their fair share of flakes. My favorite RM provider no longer accepts clients under 35 years old, due to the constant ghosting, game paying and general disrespect!!!

    Lol, unfortunately this is not exclusive to the oldest profession. This happens in every public facing industry and even in the corporate world. Yes, it is common courtesy. No, it is not owed. 
    You're gonna have to accept that this is part of the job, unfortunately. Don't let flakes get under your skin. Your self worth is not determined by how/if you get a text back. In the age of a 24 hour news cycle and social media most people have the attention span of a gnat.

    …. At least have the courtesy of responding back or following back up if you stop responding. It’s bad enough when it’s just a freebie hookup, but when you’re also expecting reliable behavior with money: it’s very disrespectful.
    What’s worse, why do some of the same guys come around: just to play games again after they ghosted the last time. I don’t like to block (or add them to the bad list) wily nilly, but I think some people ask for it. As this google search shows, they just aren’t capable of mature interactions when it comes down to other gays:

    JB_Studio38 got a reaction from MassageCommunityMember in Why Do Prospective Clients Do This?   
    So the better way to handle this, is to simply say: “I would like the sensual/therapeutic/deep tissue/etc etc. appointment on your ad for $XXX.
    That’s vastly different from asking, “hey XXX, what’s your rate? Or “how much?” (This is exactly how many of them come at us). That’s where the issue comes in.
    I dislike comparing escort/masseur services to food, but imagine if someone asked the price for something this:

     
    “ummm how much is the mushroom burger?”
     
    ”ummm, how much is the calamari?”

    JB_Studio38 reacted to Wolfer in Why Do Prospective Clients Do This?   
    This has definitely been my experience. I've been in this hobby for nearly 11 years now... My overwhelming experience has been that providers don't seem to remember or know what they themselves put on their profile. I once was texting a provider to book him as for sex that included anal (he listed himself versatile for anal on his professional profile), in reply he told me he doesn't offer anal sex of any kind as part of his services. If I hadn't (double) checked and booked on the assumption his profile information was correct, it would have been quite a disappointing session. This has happened a number of times.
    So the reason I ask things that are already on a provider's profile is because I've had enough experiences where there was either conflicting info or what is mentioned in the profile ended up not being accurate after talking to the provider or being in the room with him.
  19. Thanks
    JB_Studio38 reacted to Veryshyone in Why Do Prospective Clients Do This?   
    I personally don't care about rates as a client. I am more focused on the interaction. Not that I am made of money but my thought process is the connection versus $$$. If one has to haggle about price or is too concerned about it, perhaps other forms of connection should be pursued. I respect and appreciate providers that are willing to provide me with what I need.  Just my perspective.

    JB_Studio38 reacted to CuriousByNature in Why Do Prospective Clients Do This?   
    I have a feeling he may have accidentally put his phone number where the rate is supposed to go.  Or he believes his massage skills warrant a fee that's proximate to the GDP of Andorra.

    Definitely. Some people are pretty dim (obviously none of my clients…). My website clearly states I’m in London, but I get ‘where are you based?’ or worse ‘I’m on 23rd and 4th downtown are you available for an outcall?’ …yes, if you pay the flight costs and my outcall rate for 1000 mile of travel…
    Or even worse than location misunderstanding…some clients think I’m female! Maybe my name is gender neutral but surely they can see my pics and a massive cock between my legs?  When I say ‘I’m a guy’ they get quite upset, as if I’ve accused them of being gay. No…I accused you of being thick. You’re not lucky enough to be gay.
    Others ask about sex work services via messaging my Onlyfans or via my Instagram. I try to direct them to a more appropriate medium to discuss such things but they don’t get the hints. Don’t they realise it’s strictly not allowed to discuss paid sexual services on those sites. What part of ‘please contact me via the number on my Linktree’ is unclear? And why can’t they find the Linktree or the website link when it’s clearly there on my insta profile? 
    In some ways these seemingly small barriers to access serve to prevent the stupid or the lazy from actually booking. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing?

    I had someone text me tonight asking me what my rate is. The rates are listed on my rentmasseur page. I would think that the rate would be one of the first things they look for on the ad. Why do they ask for information that is right there on the page?

    I like a well-groomed beard on a provider, especially if he rubs it against me during our session.
