Do you have a hard time taking compliments from escorts?

[RugbyBen]

I mean compliments I've had from masseurs have usually been in line with stuff other guys have said over the years so I don't overthink it. 

I'm nothing special but have certain points that lots of guys mention so if a masseur says it and also spends a lot of time in those areas I can't see why I should doubt them. 

I did have someone recently say he didn't normally do this but that was only in the context of a first meeting not that he didn't do it ever so it maybe was the case. Certainly I was surprised anything happened as his husband was in another room.

One escort told me I had a nice cock. It's nothing to marvel at in terms of size, but I guess he liked the shape. He did follow it up with "I like all cocks regardless, but yours is pretty".

I have often been told my cock is a great sucking size.  While some might take that to mean it is a nice way to say it is not choke a horse big, I chose to think that anything that gets someone to want to suck my cock is a positive.

One particularly intoxicating provider always begins his messages to me with "Hey handsome." I'm not in fact handsome, or even average, but it's lovely that he says it. Based on a few conversations now with various providers, I'm willing to believe that there are things about me that make me a reasonably appealing client. So I can take compliments in that spirit; they do help me overlook what I see in the mirror.

Providers tell me I'm attractive, more attractive than their average client. I have no problem accepting their compliments. But I keep things in perspective. If I were to message them on a hookup or dating app, I wouldn't get a second look.

I used to find it difficult to take compliments from anyone in any topic. 
 

Always felt like they were blowing smoke up my ass. 
 

about 10 years ago, I just learned to say “thank you”, and keep it moving. 
 

There are only specific compliments I believe to be true. 
 

The rest of them, I take like a grain of salt.

I tend not to spend a lot of time thinking about compliments from anyone I don’t know well. Giving compliments is, to some extent, just being polite. Yes. It may keep you as a client but you shouldn’t assume every compliment is simply manipulative. The polite response is to thank the person giving the compliment. Beyond that, I think you move on to whatever happens next.

Escorting is basically acting

And some of them are actually actors, or have taken classes.  They can be convincing lol.

I think this is what I’m feeling too. It’s been a work in progress for sure. What does help is hearing other make the same compliments so I tend to chill out.

If I hear it from multiple providers, I’ll start to believe it.  One masseur complimented me on one particular attribute every time I saw him. When he started to make a point of sucking it at the end of each massage while he jerked off, I believed him.  Most of the time I assume it’s something the provider/masseur says to all of his clients.

I'm sort of struggling on what the best way and most polite way to deal with this. I don't wanna kill the mood or shit all over the providers effort to do a good job, but they can probably tell on the inside I assume they're little white lies.  I want to believe the compliments, but I just can't trust it. Unless the provider decides to fuck me for free (which never happens as we all know).

While I don’t have a lot of patience for “white lies“ in other aspects of life, I don’t see any harm in this context. If it contributes to the mood and experience, I don’t really care if it’s sincere or not. I go with the flow, so to speak.

I read somewhere from one provider who focused in one thing he found attractive about each client, in order for him to stay hard and deliver.  That may be his hair, or his arms, or his cologne, etc.  

This is absolutely a thing! You can always find something you love about a guy (or at least I can). The compliments are probably true, maybe a bit exaggerated, but true nonetheless.
