mike carey Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 You could be his anchor*. Most escorts love traveling but they're skeptical about taking risks. I know how that works. As I said, I go to where they are.
+ Reisr30 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 It takes a lot of courage to stand up to the pack and disagree with others. I'm glad you dared to disagree! I agree. I find this community invaluable when I see different points of view presented in a respectful manner. marylander1940, + Axiom2001 and + bashful 3
+ Gar1eth Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I actually did not enjoy my time with Mike. Maybe a chemistry thing. Who knows. Years ago I had a not very memorable overnight with an escort who was a Forum darling at the time. He was late getting to me,(and we had theater reservations), we had to throw down dinner to get to the theater on time, the escort ordered fish for dinner (not horrible in and of itself-but as I dislike seafood to begin with -I was worried about what kissing him would be like), and later that evening after we saw Hairspray and repaired to the boudoir, he said he didn't know I was interested in topping him and he wasn't prepared even though in our initial emails setting things up, I had said I was a top. He didn't even offer to 'prepare' himself, and we had all night. I wasn't brave enough to admit all this on the Forum as I feared the responses. So again I'm sorry it didn't work out. But I applaud your courage. Gman
+ Gar1eth Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I have seen him many times over the past few years - and coincidentally - I just saw him a few days ago. He has always been in great shape, but in our meeting this past week, his body in particular was phenomenal - so much so that I asked him if was intentionally trying to put on even more muscle mass than he usually has - and he said that he has just been more focused at the gym. So if you are wanting to see him in peak physical form, make an appointment now. He really does provide the best experience out there. On our weekends together Mike would often go to the hotel gym in the mornings before I woke. One of the only escorts I think who worked out even more than Mike was ex escort Alec Andrews of sainted memory. I actually obtained a guest pass at the YMCA for him, and he worked out for probably over an hour. Gman + WilliamM and TruHart1 2

I would have taken him to a CVS/Rite Aid, buy a 1.60 douche and ask him to prepare. I hope you never allowed an escort to have onions or escargot before an overnight, I've learned the lesson! And btw it takes guts also to admit you didn’t post something bad about an escort just because he was popular in the forum. Makes me wonder how many other times you remain silent afraid of reprisals.

whatahoot8 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Mike is great. The only reason why I have not scheduled a 3rd session with him is that he has not come back to my town. I highly recommend him.
rvwnsd Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I saw him last summer, was out of town when he returned, but have scheduled time with him for both of his visits to The Valley of the Sun. :DYay for me! + azdr0710 1

I'm betting the operative words were "weeks before his retirement". He was prob burned out. But that still doesn't excuse it. While I had a great time with Alec, a meeting I had with his boyfriend Ryan was less than stellar. A nice guy, and we did touch-but not very much. Gman TruHart1 and BabyBoomer 2

Which is the reason ...Everyone has been nice... Also, folks are a little more accepting of the notion that ...there [can't] be any escort, no matter how reviewed, that will 100% please every client. Just can’t be possible. Several years ago, there was an escort whom EV-ER-Y-BO-DY LOOOOOOOOOOVED. He actively participated in the Forum and was regarded as a saint among men. I hired him and didn't really have a good time. Part of it was chemistry (not his responsibility) and the other part was the guy simply not paying attention to what we discussed prior to the meet and not picking up on verbal and non-verbal cues such as "Please, stop that!" (his responsibility). Others who criticized this escort were vilified, so I kept my mouth, er, keyboard shut. Even hired him again. Same result. After someone posted a query about him, I mentioned that he was not my best hire ever and invited the poster to PM me. He did and I gave an honest assessment. Several others who had hired him also PMed me about their bad experiences and their fear of being publicly shamed for not liking the guy. Times have changed. I happen to like Mike Gaite a lot. We had great chemistry together and had a great time. I can also see how someone might not have any chemistry with him (great or otherwise) or with any other escort, for that matter. As @Benjamin_Nicholas stated, you expressed your experience very well. ...If there's one thing I've learned in escorting, it's that no matter how hard you try, perfection is impossible and at some point you're going to let someone down. A massive string of glowing reviews is as much a negative as it is a positive.... That is so very true. I tend to hire unreviewed guys. There are a couple of reasons for this. 1) I rely on my gut instincts when discussing a potential appointment to inform whether I should proceed. Even if a guy has hundreds of glowing reviews, when my gut says "no" then the appointment is a no-go. 2) A review is the reviewer's impression of the experience they had on a particular day. As you sated, everyone has an off day. Some of us have different likes/dislikes than most. A review can tell only so much. 3) My own experience with guys who have tons of glowing reviews has been mixed. The well-reviewed guys I've enjoyed are guys I would have hired had they not been well-reviewed. The well-reviewed guys whom I've not enjoyed are guys I hired because I did not listen to my gut and instead listened to a review.

Charlington Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I don’t mean to come across as shallow, and I’ve never met him or made contact with him, but by just looking at his ad only, he’s not my type. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but that may be the problem for me. I tend to go for the bad boys or dominant top only guys. marylander1940 and Moe 2
maninsoma Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I didn't think Mike would be my "type" either (mostly because of the facial hair, which I generally dislike) but I saw him at a cafe once and he just exuded sex appeal, even though I didn't interact with him (was with a bunch of coworkers). + WilliamM and marylander1940 2
Geriatric Otter Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Literally just left Mike after a 3 hr session...way too short. I've seen him for over 100 hours over the past 3 years, with overnights and long appointments. He has never looked better, with more muscles and fur...definitely a man. Always professional, playful and versatile. Everyone has bad days, but he must have had a catastrophic one to fall short. He's on my Allen Silver, Jake Mitchell, Andrew Justice platform...
