Escort with surprisingly low rate

[M7477]

I'm traveling this week and came across this ad.

He responded promptly with more info but when he told me his rate was $60/hour (and it could be negotiated if it was too much), it was very strange. Yeah, he's not an in-shape jock, but with normal rates in NYC starting at $250/$300 and up, it just seemed way too low. Yeah, there could be upsells later but has anyone ever come across a similar situation? Any red flags or things I should be concerned about?

I've gotten rate quotes of $60 before but that was on Grindr at 2:00 a.m. -- and a request to meet at the local park. My hunch is that it's not a scam, just a guy who recognizes that he's not in the premium range - and probably enjoys his encounters almost as much as the client. I doubt that he's gonna get much upselling.

The bargain bin is usually more fun than the latest shiny play thing on rentmen.

Good luck to him!

 

He’s not a jock as you pointed but I wonder how many forum posters looked as good at his age?

The last time I got a quote of $60 from a real escort was in 1978.

I’ve occasionally stumbled across someone with a rate well below average... most recently a super cute Asian twink who demurely asked for $150 for 2 hours outcall time. He’s a sweetheart and I tip him well and occasionally buy him iTunes cards for his gameplay.

 

When I encounter someone like this I look the gift horse squarely in the mouth and try to ensure there’s not something weird going on.

One of my favorite regular guys charges 80 bucks, and he is smoking hot.

 

Do you find him attractive? I say go for him. In my experience, the market is full of 300 dollars disappointments and astonishing few bucks findings. If he is good, you got a new regular, at an affordable price. If he is not good, it was just 60 bucks.

I guess you won't tell us who he is... maybe he gives you such a good deal because what a good top you're.

I find him very handsome. Moreso than the $300 guys. That's why I reached out to him in the first place. Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. I feel much better about giving it a go!

Just remember to report back

That is so true!

Although I would be on the lookout for red flags, I think he could be for real. I think there are few guys out there that are genuinely into older men and have realized that it's probably easier for them to hook up with an ad on an escort site than it is to find a free hookup on Grindr.

 

It's tempting to believe that Grindr is a frustrating waste of time only because we're older and not "prime meat," but I think that the Grindr experience (especially in big cites) is universally frustrating. It doesn't matter how hot you are, Grindr is full of people who are all talk and no action, or will perpetually be looking for "someone hotter." Yes, it works sometimes, but, no matter who you are, it's 99% wasted time, and 1% jackpot.

[Youngmilkman]

Based on his photos I'd say he's in it for the fun rather than money.

 

Not that the expensive guys are not enjoying themselves, but you might form a nicer bond with this one.

Well he was apparently in it for the fun and not the money. The fun was all his because he never showed up despite his texts. And he's apparently not in it for the money because he didn't get any. Sad because I was prepared to tip well...

Hah oh dear I'm sorry to hear!

You are correct.

 

I do use Grindr a lot looking for guys who are interested in a generous older guy like myself. I do get many guys this way but I hope I never gave the impression it's easy. Out of 20 guys, 3 or 4 might be interested and out of them, only 1 may follow through and show up. But, that one that shows up usually gets added to my little black book of regulars.

 

You have to be thick skinned but generally you get no response or a "no thanks".
