High End Agencies Making a Come Back?

Thankfully I live in NYC, where we are spoiled rotten by the numbers of hot men eager to work.

This is why I can’t make business sense of traveling for work to NYC. It’s crazy expensive and I am competing with god knows how many local guys. It’s a buyer’s market and clients can flake at the flap of a butterfly wing because they know they can get whoever’s available within the hour should anything not work out on their end. I’m also not the washboard abs type, where abs are dime-a-dozen in the city.

I’m wondering if a concierge service is truly necessary in a market where you have so much choice.

I was wondering the same thing about how this kind of service would make sense in the current climate.  The only area I can think of would be for clients who require and can afford such a degree of discretion that they could not engage with anyone who is openly an escort in the market like providers on RM.  Even then, I can't see such a business making sense because there are so many other avenues that encroach on that area.  It's even more restricting if they're focused only on certain cities.

These types usually have personal assistants and have providers sign NDAs. The PA functions as the agency, in effect. I know, because some of them have hired me. And no, I can’t discuss them for obvious reasons. Someone requiring that level of discretion and can’t do with a simple burner phone strategy typically has plenty of money and has some degree of fame or notoriety. There’s a very narrow band of people where wealth and discretion needs fall where someone is less than having a PA arranging NDAs but more than being your average high earning profession regular Joe. It’s quite specific.

What confuses me is when NYC escorts travel and charge NYC prices all over the states.

Doesn't sound like a good way to get more business.

Let's consider they are paying airfare and lodging and that's what they usually charge for the same services at home. I guess they do it hoping being fresh and a visitor they'll have more clients willing to hire them. If it doesn't work and trips aren't profitable they'll simply stay back in NYC or fly over to LA, SF, Miami, etc. bit and wealthy cities.

The epitome of class, @BonVivant.  The epitome.

I like to think of myself as the epipen of class.

“Selling her body” is the antiquated term meant to lay blame on, and to disparage female prostitutes’ morality while leaving the morality of the male buyer out of any and all discussions.

No provider here sells their body.

No client here buys bodies.

Providers today offer a conditional short-term lease. Clients pay rent, for pre-determined length of time only.

I agree with you except with what you said about clients flaking at the flap of a wing because they can get whoever is available within one hour.  Even in a market like NYC, it can take significant back-and-forth between client and escort before an appointment takes place.  Most definitely when hiring a new escort.  Even when working with escorts that I have seen repeatedly, they are rarely, if ever available within the hour ...  It does take some planning and some time to set it up.

The agencies that were in NYC all went out of business a long time ago.  I think one was 'Maximus' and the other one I forgot.  I did work a few times with 'Dave', an independent agent.   I remember his agency was called 'man to man escorts'.   He had a few hot guys in LA that worked for him on the DL.  I met a few when they visited NYC.  He also did a good job setting up and confirming the appointments, which saved me a lot of time.  He was worth his fees.  But eventually, he discontinued his services.  I guess, the business was just not there.

Maximum Escorts? I recall there was The A list and Campus too …remember salivating over their ads.

I remember hiring a junk removal service called "College Guys hauling Junk" or something like that, and having a double take when the two guys who arrived looked like they came off a Corbin Fisher shoot. It was a real junk removal service, but it had me wondering for a moment if there were "other services" available.

Did they get sweaty? Did you offer water/lemonade/ice tea? 😉

They did get sweaty, but I wasn't up on my game - alas. I still remember thinking of them as Twunk and Tank. Twunk was the friendly talker, and Tank looked like he could have benched the truck.
