Odd Level Of Demand


Recommended Posts

I’m pretty sure I’m not crazy, but…it certainly seems like there’s been a receding client pool in some markets (for all the suspected reasons). Lately, it seems majority of the clients are either fairly experienced, or regular. Which is fine, but there doesn’t seem to be as much in the way of novel clients.

It’s hard to tell if it’s just my market or in general with the economy…but there doesn’t seem to be much “pop” right now. Haven’t really been getting “the businessman at hotel” calls, and even though biz is still trucking along, seems like the overall pace is not where it could be.

Right now I’m trying to think which direction I want to take things. With no real “classifieds “ section on many sites, seems more like waiting for those actively looking; versus guys stumbling across unexpectedly.

I barely get any responses to providers I reach out to these days. I think folks have stopped or reduced taking on new clients.

Agree.  I am eager, sincere, respectful and willing to pay. Yet the providers I reach out to don't even bother to acknowledge receipt of my queries on any platform.  One might think business is too good.

I made inquiry of a newbie in LA.... 

he responded

"$200-$350 an hour depending on what you wanna do"

seems like a pretty wide range for someone who just posted for the first time (I think) and has no reviews or word of mouth

(however: subsequent inquiries revealed a bit of an "anger management issue" as well as a huge number of name changes!)

Would you believe? The same thing seems to be occurring from my end. Some clients seem to just act brain dead and unresponsive to the most basic instructions.

I know I personally am still taking new clients, but not without a deposit. Simply because it’s just been too many flakes and timewasters over the past year. And it’s even much more than that: I have to do business in a very particular way, so it doesn’t really allow me much room to shrug off canceled visits.

I’ve already had 2 clients miss sessions the past couple weeks, because they didn’t follow the instructions I gave to send deposit by a certain time. I’m not just going to wait around for someone to figure out what they need to do. I usually am going between different cities, hands on different things: I don’t have the disposable time to just wait around for people all day, day after day; to figure their shit out. I got tired of doing that, so I don’t see myself going back to the way I was doing things. 

It seems some of the game stuff ramped up towards the release of vaccines and re-opening. At one point it seemed like every client bold enough to request an appointment, followed Thru during the pandemic. Now, it’s just been a larger amount of people peeking but not really stepping forward.

Could it be that people are feeling the effects of inflation? Food and gas prices have all gone up quite a bit in the past few months. Perhaps that's impacting regulars hiring patterns and disincentivizing people from giving it a try. 

Yeah…that’s definitely a concerning hypothesis. However, it’s not stopping people from doing everything else. People I know all over are still out shopping, going on trips, spending money, can barely get a reservation at many restaurants on a weekend.

Personally, as a client, I have built up a group of regular local and/or traveling escorts post pandemic whom I see on a regular basis. I’ve gone this route mainly because of inflation! If I see a certain provider once a month or once every two months, I can budget my hiring expenses and always rest assured that my go to guys will (usually) be available for me.

Right now, that seems to be the case, with a “stable” of regulars I can always count on. It hasn’t always been like this but for now it works for me, though it may change in the future, depending on my regulars’ lives. I know from past experiences, that any of them may decide to retire or quit the business, but I’m enjoying myself right now!!! 😉

It’s good to have regulars, but I’ve found it to be somewhat a hassle to keep regulars on schedule in the KC market. I had a good double hour session with one last month, and we’re supposed to be arranging it this week. So far no response. Most of the times when someone has tried to get a 2nd meet, they either don’t leave room to coordinate or contact last minute, only to have something come up and have to cancel.

One trend I do keep noticing in Kansas City on an almost weekly basis: is guys coming thru to visit, maybe for 2 or 3 days  and “available now” and then gone. Either they’re getting business because they are the new ones on the block, or they are just coming thru and not that busy either. 

I only come to the area to rest in between tours, almost like a flight attendant. But I still rely on getting at least 2 or 3 bookings during the 1-3 weeks that I may be here. It’s like moving mountains even trying to get that to happen. I didn’t have much in the way of issues with my deposit policy when I was traveling to  other areas of the Midwest last week, but for whatever reason, people in KC seem to go out of their way to intentionally disregard my booking policy. Then when I wasn’t doing the deposits, they flaked anyway. It’s like: just can’t win with ‘em.

So I just don’t show my number in my ads, if they text me I know they’ve read my website and don’t have any excuses.

That's true, but when that $300+ gets me 1-2 nights in a hotel, or a plane ticket, or 2-3 restaurant meals, or several outfits at the mall, etc. vs. 1 hour with an escort, then I tend to prioritize.

I think that will come where ads on RM include vaccination for monkeypox. It took a while for covid because it was impacting the escorting business. 

I believe monkeypox will do the same

That's impossible.

The only vaccine that could protect against monkeypox is the smallpox vaccine, and that isn't available to the public.

Imvamune or Imvanex are the two Monkeypox vaccines available in the US.  I got Imvamune this afternoon here in Canada.

If rates go back to the 250-300 range then you’ll get more interest. Lots of quotes in the 400-600 range. Why should I do that when my regular steady is in the right range. I know what I’m getting and no risk in trying an untested, unknown experience that could be a money burner.

I got one when I was a kid. Prolly 1973 or so. Hope it’s still effective. 

You got the old Smallpox vaccine which they think is effective.  I figured a new shot would be a good idea.  For most people it's not too bad but can get ugly.  Quarantine can't last up to a month.

The cost of hiring has increased at a time when a dollar doesn’t go as far. Pleasure goods like escorts are going to see a decrease in demand, even without increased prices for services. With a decrease in demand generally and an increase in price, I can totally understand that the client market is depressed. I know I’m in a saving pattern for my next hire, and it’s been harder to get that play money account to fill up like before.
