A few things:

 

Clients will not necessarily go to a thread and look for posts. If they are that technically skilled, they will look for the specific situation by searching for it themselves. Likewise, with a new escort or even an experienced escort with an unfamiliar problem or new situation.

 

Secondly, even for those clients or escorts who might go to such a thread, for most of us, we should admit, we only read the pages in a manual that apply to what we think we need to know right that minute. Likewise with a cook book, a repair guide or anything else. We read a specific recipe, we look for how to fix a leaky faucet or put in a dimmer switch, but we do not go through the entire manual, book or guide.

 

Even web sites with FAQ sections do not get all the information read.

 

So what would be truly helpfull is for posters on here, particularly those who have been around for some time, the lurkers who rarely or never posts, the escorts who always chime in and have an opinion and those who rarely post anything other than "hey guys, check out my web site/new photos" or "I am going to London/Sydney/Rio, where should I stay" or an ESCORT TRAVEL post to also come in with their comments and opinions.

 

This should not be limited to threads. Sometimes, great advice about say, for example, how to hire your first escort or how to contact one or where to leave money or how to pay the money or how to tell the escort what you want and need, etc. are all covered in about a minimum of 6 posts in the DELI and at least 8 in ASK AN ESCORT. Which one do we pick?

 

If we put up at least 14 links, you still need to get people to search through them. So, what would also help is which threads and which posts in that threads were particularly helpful. In many cases, you can find that a number of clients and/or escorts will have a consensus idea: for example, where to leave the money.

 

Generally, the consensus is to leave it visible but not where someone can just grab it and leave. Some clients totally disgree with this and felt it should be handed to the escort. Some felt it should be in a visible envelope and some felt it should be fanned out so the escort can clearly see he is being paid the agreed-upon sum.

 

As we can see, there is a variance but not a great disparity.

 

Likewise, for example, with the Counting question: do you do in front of the client, does the client count it out, do you count at all. Again, a variety of opinions, the consensus being that most escorts did not want to count it in front of a client but would, most likely, mention to a client if the client paid too little and, in one case, the escort told the client he had overpaid him by an amount too much to be an even overly generous tip. However, the consensus of the clients was that they liked to count it, as opposed to leave an exact agreed-upon amount, in case they wanted to tip more or, in the flush of the after glow, made a mistake.

 

So, which posts, which thread do we pick? Who decides?

 

Finally, while Daddy has not chimed in, as of yet, any such collection should ideally be a LINK which can be found both at the top of the forums in the Message Center as well as at the top of the main Male 4 Male Escort Review Site, so that lurkers and people who never come to the MC, but who would benefit from what we all might think is common sense advise (e.g., NEVER pay an escort in advance) can readily read them.

 

Now, getting them to read them is another story....

[BradBoyd]

*Blush* Thank you! This is a great resource and I really appreciate it...especially since I'm still fairly new to the business (two months in).

RE: Breathe

 

I guess I didn't see this as a force-feeding to new clients of our industry, but rather an opportunity for them to aleviate some of their concerns by educating themselves if the choose to do so. The force-feeding of education is the responsibilty of the escort while qualifying the prospect.

 

As far as which ones and whether anyone will screw around with all this and so on, I usually like to test the waters with an idea with something that's the "poor man's" solution. Once we've proven the concept, then we can invest some real time in it.

 

As a side note, when I have a prospective client that has never hired an escort before, I often send him HOOK Online's Client Guide: http://www.hookonline.org/downloads/clientguide_color.pdf

RE: Breathe

 

Brad boyd should be the last person to set quidelines for escorts nd

their clients. I don't know how long he has been in he business, but I have had a dreadful experience dealing with him. Setting up an appointment with him was so difficult. He left only 2 evenings open for us. We took the Sunday night and we have to change our other plans. He had the nerves to call us and cancell the appointment 15 minutes before the appointment. His excuse was : " I am not up to it".

I let our readers to make the judgement and share with us if you have any experience with Mr.Brad Boyd......Caveat Emptor.....

RE: Breathe

 

Well....that's interesting, because I am have been having alot of difficulty seeting up appts of late. But Brad Boyd has been the only one that has been exceptionally easy. He responded fairly promptly, and agreed to everything that I asked for....then I had to change the date and he was cool with that. Sent him flight choices and he was agreeable. Up to this point, dealing with Brad has been almost effortless. No deposit demands, no pic requests, no "let's talk on the phone" crap, no problems at all. He has handled it exactly the way that I like to do it..

 

Will let you know how the actual meeting goes, and if he is "not up to it". But at this point, when it comes to setting things up, he has been very professional and accomodating.

 

I could certainly make you a list of others who haven't been...

You go, Oklie!

 

One of the things I love about this site is that the truth always surfaces. Sometimes it takes a while, but it always surfaces.

 

Your first-hand report is far more useful than a poster with three posts.

 

I hope you'll check back in later and tell us he left you deliriously happy -- or not. That's the truth thing.

RE: Breathe

But as we all know, Previous Raves, don't always mean a Present Rave!

As I found out recently,on an Overniter.. for different reasons.

In Response to Cancellation Complaint

 

Yes, I had to cancel this appointment. This was a rarity for me...I have had to offer a reschedule on three occasions in my career. Each time, other than this, there was a good amount of notice notice.

 

On these rare occasions I have had to reschedule an appointment with my client, I am respectful enough to call my client to inform him of the cancellation, appoligize, and offer to make it right for my client (whether that means a special rate appointment or something like that, I try to be an ethical business man).

 

The conversation for canceling this appointment was not so fun. I called the client to inform him that I had to cancel (approximately 15 minutes prior, he's correct). When he asked me why I needed to cancel, I indicated it was a private reason. He continue to push me for a reason, but I declined to tell him.

 

I would note that this was an out call to the client's home. I was in his city of residence at the time, so there was no expenditure of travel or lodging incurred by the client.

 

The story goes on, but for my client's privacy, I will keep that between him and me unless he choses to bring this out into the public forum further.

 

I felt horrible after this exchange...I ALWAYS strive to be a very polite boy and I felt like I was backed into a corner in this situation. I would encourage clients to think about their business lives and realize that there have been appointments that must be rescheduled or cancelled. It's not desirable, but as long as it's the rare exception and not the rule, we typically don't question one's professionalisim.

RE: In Response to Cancellation Complaint

 

First of all, although I'm an infrequent poster, I'm a frequent lurker and I really appreciate it when an escort chooses to spend some time in this environment, which is often less-than-friendly to escorts. But, while I've enjoyed your posts and appreciate your sincerity and respectful attitude, I've got to say my sympathies are totally with the client in this case. You indicate that there's more to the story (and not divulging it without the client's permission is a strong point in your favour) and maybe I'd feel differently if I knew more.

 

But based on what I've seen so far, if an escort called me to cancel a previously-scheduled appointment on 15 mins notice, for 'personal reasons', I too would likely question your professionalism (especially if it was a first encounter). I too would have pushed you fairly hard for a reason, for while I would normally respect your right to privacy, your inconvenience to the client deserves (in my view) a damn good explanation. And (as a client) while I would try to maintain a level of civility during the cancellation call, I would NOT expect the call to be 'much fun' for you and would expect you to feel bad about the cancellation.

 

Now I accept your point that this is the only time that you've had to give a short-notice cancellation like this. But I'd feel better if it didn't seem to me that you're still trying to justify it in some way; because I 'have thought about my business life' and cannot recall ever cancelling a meeting without fully informing the other participants of the whys and wherefores even if it involved "no expenditure of travel or lodging" on their part.

 

In other words, it's not that you did a stupid thing that you regret that bothers me (we've all been there and done that and I've done some whoppers in my time), but, reading your message, I'm not convinced that you really understand the inconvenience and annoyance that such an event causes a client.

 

 

I don't say this with any malice. Your reviews, to date, are favourable and you seem to have the qualities that I really like in an escort. In short, if I leave the Great White North to visit your neck of the woods, you're very much on my list to call. But, for some reason, this thread has inspired me to add my 2 cents worth.
