Unusual Advertising Details

[Will]

Like Sashek, I have been contacted by a number of escorts who post here, usually -- though not always -- in response to something I'd said that suggested I might be interested in hiring them. On one occasion, the escort mistook me for the author of a review who described himself as a blond, blue-eyed twenty-something surfer living in Hawaii on the proceeds from his inheritance. It took several e-mail exchanges with this escort before I (a) figured out what was going on and (b) convinced the escort that I am hardly a blond, blue-eyed, twenty-something surfer living in Hawaii on the proceeds from my inheritance. When he did acknowledge his mistake, thanked me for pointing it out, and then disappeared, I hit the roof. I wrote him a no-holds-barred e-mail to which he responded with great charm. We have corresponded on occasion since then, I always enjoy reading his posts, and we plan to meet next month.

 

When an escort from this site approaches me, I am immediately suspicious. However, if he's up-front about it, open-minded and humorous, I quickly overcome my instinctive distrust and enjoy the correspondence, even if nothing commercial comes of it. Instead of running the risk of offending, however, I'd suggest that escorts -- those who are advertising truthfully anyway -- simply state as part of their advertising details that they actually enjoy older men, or don't mind weight problems, or whatever. I'd much rather be attracted by an escort who actually advertises these facts than have to guess, have to ask, or have to risk the embarrassment of being solicited -- that's what it is, folks -- for business that then gets turned down, not by the buyer but by the seller!

Details

 

I have been contacted by individuals (clients, not the escorts) from this site, some of whom expressed more of an interest in meeting me out of curiousity or perhaps to find out if I actually speak in run-on sentences as well. Some of these clients, from reading their posts and reviews, it is clear that the idea that they would hire me is not highly probable because of their stated interests in men (or boys, as the case may be). The number of people who have contacted me from my post on the Message Center and turned out to be interested in being clients numbers is a small percentage.

 

There are a few clients I have contacted on my own initiative. A very few; I can count them on one hand and have fingers left over. You are one of them, Will, based as you know on a comment you made and my initial contact was not with the intention of soliciting business. So I am certainly not the person who confused you with Will, the reviewer (who actually lives in Monarch Beach, not Hawaii, although he goes to Hawaii, and who does like older men, since he has hired me several times). To my knowledge, he's never posted on this site, but he does enjoy the reviews.

 

To be honest, when I do see escort advertisements in Frontiers that state something along the lines of "older men welcome" I tend to find that more suspect; if I am looking for a client who wants a second escort, I like to look at the ads who say things like "friendly, no attitude" and I also screen them, no such much asking the point blank question but in what they say and do not say.

 

I would be interested in hearing from clients on this. I do not make any kind of restrictions at all on clients except for those who want a bisexual scene (which, for some reason, happens to me more often than not) and situations which involve blood, degradation, humiliation, "real" pain versus sex play, and a few other like requests. I state on my AOL profile that I am "friendly, personable" with "no attitude."

RE: Details

 

I don't remember if my web site currently says anything like this. I know that I certainly enjoy playing with older clients and heavy set clients. But I always feel a bit wierd stating that. One, it makes me feel a bit like I'm being discriminatory - when I'm actually being anti-discriminatory - by singling out those two groups. Wierd sort of reversal but feelings are feelings. And two, I also worry a bit that if I do say something like that then those who are neither older nor heavy set will think that I am not interested in them, too.

 

I remember an line in an old movie - Hawaii - (how apt), where the Emperor of Hawaii tells a misisonary that there are so many different kinds of adultery that prohibiting them all is impossible. If you don't try to make an entire list of them, everyone will assume that you're not referring to the kind of adultery he likes to practice and if you do, many men will see on your list a kind of adultery that he hadn't thought of and would like to try out.

RE: Details

 

I totally second what Bilbo just wrote - my website used to say that I'm into older guys (weight problem or not) only to find that I didn't get any responses from younger guys anymore. I guess the easiest way would be if we all had an equal-opportunity phrase somewhere (well, those of us who are professional enough not to discriminate based on age and physical shape) to rule out potential disappointment on the client's side. Or maybe an escort should reverse the anti-discrimination statement and just simply state what he is not into to save everyone's time. It might be bad advertising but that's definitely better than a bad rep.

 

Anyway, I'm just rambling. If anyone has issues with older clients, send them to me. I'll be glad to take care of them.

 

Aloha from Chicago!

RE: Details

 

Well as a client here I have had problems with some escorts. Yes I'm a big man somewhere around 250lbs & 47 yo balding man. When I look for a Escort I tell him up front about me. If he is not AOL I will copy & paste my AOL profile and E mail it to the Escort. i try to be 100% up front before they come over and I'm just asking them the same, be honest before hand.

 

At times I had some problems with the escorts because of my size, some put on a front and when they show up I can tell their will be a problem or even the escort will say something, at that point before anything happens I ask him to leave, some even ask to be paid anyway and I just laugh and show them the door. A few would try and start some trouble and I walk to the phone to call the cops, I got no problem telling the cops why he was here. I just hate them wasting my time with the BS when I could have been with someone that wanted to be with me.

 

Now this was before I found Hoo's site. Since then I have had no problems with any escort from this site, I still tell them about my weight. I'm a big twink fan but I'm starting to enjoy the older guys better, they are into it more than the younger ones, I'll still see my twinks:+
