advice for first time provider

[Korean_Dom]

Was hoping for some tips and advice for starting off as a new provider. I am on a D1 sports team at my university, so I am young compared to other providers. Would this be a con? I am new to all of this, so any advice/tips would be helpful for starting off.

When I started escorting at age 19, I did it through an agency.  They handled all the communication and setting up of appointments.  I think as a new escort that can be the most challenging for u.  My advice would be to be very organized and make sure u answer promptly (good communication skills go a long way).  Most guys are reluctant to see new escorts, I would offer a fair rate for first time clients to help build regulars over time.

Last make sure unpost on X or other social media to make it easier for potential clients to see u without filters etc. 

Good luck and have fun!!

Everything is a con to some and a pro to others. Your age and look seem to me to be assets.

A D1 athlete checks a lot of boxes for a lot of guys, so if you enjoy (or can fake it well) what you do and get a good reputation from the start, you should have success.

Being a college athlete likely means you will not be able to host, so be careful going to people's homes, but other providers can likely help you more than I with that sort of thing.

Advice: Visit Dallas as soon as you can for a sure booking.  🥵

Some of us prefer younger men - me included.   The key is to be more mature than your age. Age is only a number and no one believes the posted age anyway.

You look absolutely adorable to me, @Korean_Dom, I would hire you in a blink if you came to Hong Kong. Good luck.

Your youth is attractive but mature men know that youth comes with inexperience. A youthful athlete with a solid, confident and professional personality is universally marketable, inspite of his lack of experience . 

As stated above, be thoughtful about who you meet when youre making house calls...and dont undersell yourself just because you're new.

Feel free to link your professional profile. Depending on your location, there are likely a few potential customers right here on the site. Your photo is definitely appealing. Athletes are always in demand.

We'd also be good editors in helping you with a profile descriotion that would interest us.

As others have mentioned, your age is fine. There is a market for everyone, and I expect the market for younger sexy men like yourself is really good. If you haven't already, set up a profile on Rentmen (it's really the only game in town), and if you want to participate here on this website, add your details into your post signature. You've already got some potential clients interested!

The main concern I'd have is with your athletic status. It's an asset, but be careful you don't get yourself into trouble with the university. I'm thinking back many years ago to where a couple of D1 athletes had posed for Playgirl, and then got booted off their teams. Granted, posing in a widely-available publication is not the same as running a Rentmen ad, but all it takes is word to get out and trouble could follow. Though you have a very handsome face, you may want to avoid showing it in your advertising. Also, although being on a team is such a hot selling point, you may want to downplay that a bit and just be more general such as "athletic, love sports" or something like that.

All that said, I can think of a couple of guys who have put themselves through college as providers. In my instance, it helped me cover grad school expenses, and I'm grateful for that. Turned out I really enjoyed it, and still do all these years later. Feel free to DM with any questions!

Most providers in your age range have poor communication skills or professionalism. I've run into many who aren't on time, have slept through appointments, charge less than they're worth, etc. It makes me distrust young providers. When I was their age, I certainly didn't have the communication skills for the job. But if you can maintain professional, discreet communication with clients, you can build a clientele and enjoy your job.

If it's important to the safety of your college sports career/etc or if you're not gay/bi and not out. One thing you might want to do to protect your identity, in addition to what @nate_sf said about showing less face, is also only use photos in your ad that are also publicly available. Like from your Instagram or other social media. That way, if someone reverse image searches your Provider ad, only images from your Instagram come up. Which gives you plausible deniability to say "oh that's just someone catfishing as me using my Insta photos" if it ever became an issue or if someone who shouldn't see it found your Provider ad and confronted you asking if it's you for example. You also can put on your profile that you can FaceTime/video call verify you are you. Because if a potential client sees your ad with no face pics, or reverse image searches your photos and sees it's all from some Instagram account, they also might think you're catfishing/scamming. So being willing to verify it's you is good.

 

Other advice coming from a client perspective: If you happen to have a big social media following or an OnlyFans with a lot of subscribers. Don't let that go to your head and let it give you an attitude/ego, clients do not care about your Insta/OF follower count. Some guys your age who have social media clout get into providing thinking that they don't have to put in much effort to being a Provider and think that them being social media famous is everything. Clients pick up on this and it usually results in you giving them a bad experience. Just being hot and recognizable from social media and letting them touch your abs is not enough and is not the only thing you need to bring to your client. You still have to truly perform for them and give them a nice full experience with you like other Providers who aren't social media famous do.

Similarly, a lot of guys your age have a "hustle grindset mindset" vibe that isn't always very attractive in the context of a client/provider meeting. Obviously Providers are doing this to make money, it's work. But don't let your clients feel that vibe from you. Don't let your client feel like they're just a check box on your financial goals spreadsheet or like you don't give a damn about them. They want to have a nice interaction with you and feel like you're into them and having a good time with them or at the very least like they have your full attention. Like @Mark_fl said, you should hopefully really enjoy doing this, or at least learn to be good at faking it (especially if you're doing this as a straight guy) so the client doesn't see the "mechanics" of what you're doing in order to work with them. A lot of college age guys start this and make these mistakes and then get bad reviews and have to spend time repairing their provider reputation. So if you can get this stuff right from the start, that'll put you ahead of competing providers the same age as you.

So pay attention to the client, don't be on your phone a bunch during a meeting trying to set up your next meeting, don't be looking at what time it is every 5 minutes waiting for the meeting to be over because the client will notice. Don't over book yourself, give yourself time to get ready and get to each meeting. If you have a meeting setup and you're running late or need to reschedule/cancel, let the client know as soon as possible. If you set up multiple meetings in one day, don't schedule them too close to each other because the first meeting maybe could make you late to the second meeting. And especially with you being in college. You have classes, practice/training for your sport, games/matches for your sport, and your own personal/social life to plan around. So i would say just don't spread yourself too thin. Communication and time management are huge when doing this.
