Tired of the transaction drama

I am white

How is that relevant to asking for a deposit?

[instudiocity]

It's not something always enforced but when I am in a city I am not familiar with it is something i rely on for my safety. I am white, clean upstanding masculine and professional.

Try setting up a doctors appointment at any reputable practice without making a deposit and see how far you get.....

Also Rember LEO's WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY AHEAD OF TIME , NOR WILL THEY SEND YOU ANY

In 44 years, I’ve never prepaid a physician, lawyer, or accountant. NOR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL.

[instudiocity]

I spoke with this person for about 3 mins on the phone and he got butt hurt I didn't want to bow down and change the way I do things. In response to that he came on here and attempted to tarnish my name when he doesn't even know or has he even ever met me.

Is this what your website is about ?

If there was any tarnish, you’ve tripled that tarnish in a few braggadocios posts.

Something tells me I'm going to regret weighing in on this....

 

Well that is your experience sir.

In the US, at least, doctors asking for a "deposit" is largely unheard of. Maybe he's confusing a co-pay or office-visit fee as a deposit?

 

I have been held at gun point and taken advantage of many times in my youth.

 

If you're afraid of crime, then you're kind of in the wrong business. I mean, escorting itself is a crime almost everywhere in the USA. If your'e operating as an "internet-only" type of person, then you don't get a chance to see or meet a client -- and get a feel whether it's a good idea go anywhere with the.

 

I mean, let's face it....people get held up sometimes. Pizza delivery drivers and cabbies are two famously frequent targets for hold-ups. I'm sorry if it's happened to you, but escorting is not historically a business for the skittish.

 

If you can't demonstrate enough trust in another human being to send them a few hundred dollars considering the situation that someone is being placed in meeting complete strangers then good day.

 

Personally, I find it unreasonable to be expected to give money to someone whom I have never seen, much less met. My name isn't Charity. And why should someone trust you to show up after you have their money? If you don't trust someone to pay enough to show up in the first place, it kind of implies that you shouldn't be trusted to show up anyway.

 

If the "charge a deposit" model works for you, then more power to you. That does not appear to be the standard business model of the industry, though, and (as you have experienced in this thread) it can leave a figurative bad taste in the mouth of people who think you're just jerking them around.

 

Best of luck, but I'm not particularly sympathetic in this case.

glad you didn't even meet him....

when I meet with somebody new and who I don't fully trust yet, I mention in pre-meet communication that I will pay at the end, that I don't want to talk about money during the meet, and then ask if that's ok and if they have any questions

 

the pay request even before the meeting is, of course, a huge and well-established no-no, but many probably fall for it......I'm afraid there are many who don't know of this forum and the many discussions we've had here about this "pay upfront" racket.......

Hmmm all not withstanding on this thread, he’s still cute

Give Lucas a break you all! Dealing with clients, 90% of whom make contact with escorts with no intention of ever meeting them, isn't easy.

If it's that difficult, then perhaps a change of career should be considered. Escorting is a SERVICE industry.

Hi Lucas.

 

I'm a board certified physician. I graduated from a top quartile US medical school and residency program (I dont say that to brag, but to assure you I'm no under-achiever & actually know what I'm talking about). I've practiced Medicine for years. I've personally worked directly with & come across many physician colleagues and neither myself nor any of my peers have ever asked for a deposit. You are simply wrong.

Try setting up a doctors appointment at any reputable practice without making a deposit and see how far you get.

 

If you can't demonstrate enough trust in another human being to send them a few hundred dollars considering the situation that someone is being placed in meeting complete strangers then good day.

 

It's not about trust, sir. This is Business. The restaurant gets paid AFTER the meal. The Accountant gets paid after doing the clients taxes. And the Barber. And the housekeeper. And the Uber driver. And the physician like myself (see above). The list goes on & on. Guess what: you are also on that list, too. You get paid AFTER services rendered, not before.

 

You were a completely rude ,narcissistic and unbearable to me on the phone just because I told you how I operate,

 

I'm sorry you had to go thru this, Lucas. No one deserves to be treated this way.

 

You write the conversation got "heated", so ask yourself, as a professional, what part did you contribute to this debacle? Please reflect on specifically what you said and how (if at all) it added to the tension of this encounter gone bad. Please reflect with deep self honesty. I'm a professionaland & I've had to go this exercise in my career and no, it's not fun, but its important for growth. Clearly you need some, um, professional growith, also.

 

I am white

Um, what does that matter.....????

You sound really privileged, like you are demanding White Privilege. Just sounds bad all around. Like a pro-Trump supporter from the Alt-Right marching on Charlotesville. Please come to this forum and explain this statement cuz I'm sure you wouldn't want potential clients (like me) thinking you are a bigot. But I'm very open to a logical, non-racist explanation of your statement.

 

It's not something always enforced but when I am in a city I am not familiar with it is something i rely on for my safety.

 

Sorry man, but you cant rely on your clients for fiscal safety. Going out of town as an escort with all the extra expenditures that accrue are the risks YOU take as a BUSSINESSMAN. Trying to get clients to shoulder this risk will only get you a bad response (see this entire thread for an example), as you are learning.

 

I am a Southern Man of his word, I am not In the habit of going back on what I say.

 

Wait, you wont trust us clients to pay but you expect us to trust that you a "man of his word"? We dont know you from Adam. Expecting us to believe/trust you on that is ridiculous and fantastical thinking on your part. Get over yourself, Mr Businessman. Guess what? I practice what I preach. I see a patient in my office and then bill accordingly and I sometimes DONT get paid, believe it or not. But it's part of my budget- I plan on a (small) percentage of unpaid bill's. It's called the Cost of Doing Business. Dude, take some business classes.

 

In response to that he came on here and attempted to tarnish my name when he doesn't even know or has he even ever met me.

 

No, you tarnished it yourself. From all you have said here, I know I'll never hire you. I NEVER pre-pay. Nor do my friends.

 

Is this what your website is about ?

 

No, it isn't. It's for clients, like me, to have a method and strategy to expose jerks and rough-trade who may harm us fiscally, emotionally or even physically. Are YOU one of those?

 

I am fearful of the answer.

Just like you're going to get Butt Hurt if I kick your ass to the curb. I would suggest that you tone your hurt puppy routine way down, way fast.

 

Excuse me if, I offended you just stating the facts of what happened.

Give Lucas a break you all! Dealing with clients, 90% of whom make contact with escorts with no intention of ever meeting them, isn't easy.

Thank you !!!! Finally !!! when you have to sift through 500+ phone calls, texts and emails see what you require to take a person seriously.

The fact that you consider other human beings meals tells me and any decent person all I need to know about you I stopped reading after that.

@josh282282 Are you kidding about doctors never asking for a deposit?! Maybe we shouldn't call it a "deposit" as Lucas has, but every doctor's office I've made an appointment with asks what insurance do you have or how are you going to pay AND asks for it upfront before seeing the doctor.

[Lucas Weston]

I am only interested in meeting people who want to make a genuine connection with a younger man, share his wisdom and knowledge of this life and possibility some of his success. I am absolutely not interested in meeting people who think I am just an item to be ordered off a menu, so if that's you do us both a favor and move on to someone else.

 

REAL CONNECTIONS NEED ONLY APPLY

Honestly that is why I just ignored all the arguing about it, its common knowledge simple fact..... maybe its a regional thing ? and where they are at it isn't required ?

What does medical insurance have to do with deposits? I'm thinking that part of your argument may not have made it into your post.

[Lucas Weston]

Bottom line if you don't like how I do things go somewhere else this isn't a negotiation or a discussion there will be no compromise. I do what I do so I don't have to listen to some asshole bark orders at me so if you call me acting that way... well that's what your going to get.

Well Lucas, sending money in advance is not going to fly. People have been scammed by this for years. If it's a first time meet, you have to arrange to have the dough in plain sight. Then the meet can go on as both sides will be serious. Good Luck!

It flies every single day my friend people who take risk are rewarded, I don't take the faith my friends place in me lightly I have had one friend for 7 years he's help me with over 500k over the years and it all started with that first small act of faith. People who let fear rule their lives never get to experience the best that life has to offer.

It is called a 'wallet biopsy'.

Lucas it is safe to say that no one on this site should presume to tell you how to operate your business. How you do that is totally up to you and you alone. However, the one thing you should have learned, by now, is that virtually nobody on this site is sympathetic to or understanding of the manner in which you do business. Probably the best advise anybody here could give you is continue doing business as you see fit but don't waste your time posting here.
