The one thing I dislike the most (in re: to travel)

[JB_Studio38]

I made arrangements to travel to a city 3-4 hours away for the dual purpose of a friend’s event and to incorporate some clients into my schedule. So as usual, I reach out ahead of time to previous clients  to let them know I’m coming and to see if we can arrange a visit. The 4-5 people I anticipated mostly said yes BUT, there was some maybes. Which I guess meant no, because of all, only 1 person showed up. And thankfully he did because it was a longer $,$$$ visit. 

But what I dislike the most is someone ghosting off and not responding at all, once I arrive to town. Especially if it’s someone I met before. And about 3 of them did that. Some may say I should “bet on” only 1 or 2 to show up, which can often be the case. 1 was able to let me know he couldn’t show. The others, I texted/emailed twice and no reply.

Its a big part of why there has to be an understanding, taking trips to meet clients without a deposit comes with risk. I did it, but I was able to curb some of the risk by having enough free hotel nights in case everybody fell thru, along with a secondary purpose. But it would have been a complete bust if I hadn’t had the 1 come thru. 

And even though the trip was only 4 hours away, it still ended up being 3 nights of hotels: the first night being the initial commute (which I sometimes have to do in order to get to town early enough to see people and not worry about delays but, that’s also extra money). 2nd night was event and booking, 3rd night was more rest and recovery. But 3 nights and only 1 client showing up, is part of the reason $250/300 isn’t as appealing as it used to. Even with free nights and friends discounts, I still spent $200 on lodging. If I had only one $250/$300 session: I would have essentially broke even with no profit. 
 

I know it’s just “how it is”, but that’s why I spend more time advertising in cities than actually staying there. Unless I have a place to stay, sponsored by a friend or client, I don’t like taking the risk. And staying with people is getting old too. That’s why I strategize with hotels, so I don’t have to rely on people for a place to stay when I visit a city. Gay folks can be the worse when it comes to needing to post “remotely” from their place. Most won’t allow to host, and small things can be a bother: I might as well just get a hotel room and at least have the potential to earn something. But that comes with the caveat of making sure there’s enough people following thru and showing up.

In this instance, I can only sympathize with you if you had these 5 guys politely ask you when you'll be back in town so they can see you again, only to then go radio silent once you're actually there. 

You've been doing this for years, and dissect every minutia of how others act when it comes to your time. A great many guys are seeing you in confidence, and getting a text could create for them an unexpected uncomfortable moment depending on what they're doing. Seeing you should be at their convenience, and not hearing back if you initiated it doesn't make them bad people or flakes. 

Since you're on here, take note of the very few men who do what you do who share what wisdom they have. They very well may have the same exact frustrations that you have at times, BUT DO NOT DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE SO MUCH. They love what they do, travel from time to time, and really just enjoy the moments with men who leave with a smile, hoping a return visit happens, but not panicking if they don't repeat.

I would like to think since you've done this for so long, teaming up with another provider and sharing travel costs would be a big help to resolve so much of your never-ending travel frustrations. I've seen several men who were sharing a room with another masseur when on the road.

The ONE THING..?

 

Jarrod, the list of things you dislike about the line of work you have chosen grows longer every month.

It's really not up to clients in your region to fix that, now, is it?

How could you say that? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Jarrod is unhappy about something.

It ain’t news.

Bad communication sucks, but asking some people to pay more because you don't have enough confirmed business sounds like a losing business model. Just not sustainable.  You need to establish a fair market price and let repeat business and word of mouth do the rest.

Yeah this definitely is a good thing to do.

I've seen guys who travel together, or know other providers in every big city, and they split an AirBnB and host that way. They split the costs, can all host in separate bed rooms of the house (at the same time even), have an actual kitchen to cook food in. And it makes it easy for them to advertise/offer each other to clients for group sessions. AirBnB i think is often simultaneously more expensive and inconvenient than a hotel these days for an individual non-provider. However, for this specific use case. I could see it being a compelling option for providers.

Ever thought you are at the bottom of their list and they go with you only when all their other options are unavailable? Just think of the possibility you are not competitive in today's market.

So here’s the thing: it’s not about dwelling on the negative. However it would be nice to know that instead of leaving someone hanging, that they at-least have the courtesy to reply back. Especially when I say I’ve arrived to the very area they asked about me coming to.

Also in one of the cases, the client reached out to me to ask about scheduling: whereas the others were people who have asked me to reach out when I come to the their area.

I say so because when I tell some of them I’m not yet in the area and/or will be traveling to the area: there’s an urgency to get me there. So when I’m there, I want to see that same energy. 
 

Also, traveling with a provider may work in some cases however: there’s real truth is it is not often as easy as it seems. Those other guys often have their own schedule and clients to tend to. They’re not really as accommodating to other escort’s schedules as you may be lead to believe. I also was in the mentioned city due to something that was scheduled with a friend who’s not an escort. Trying to fit another escort into that schedule, and having them in my hotel rooms, having them see clients during my off time: it doesn’t really make sense.

Don’t just go by the peachy/creamy stuff that sounds good. Try to understand what it’s really like behind the scenes.

That’s not me asking them to pay more. That’s simply saying: I rather do 1 longer booking with someone RELIABLE, then to try to play a numbers game and fit in 4-5-6 clients at a time. Not only is that usually unrealistic due to people’s schedules, but if I’m to maintain full sexual energy, I rather reserve that for 1 or 2 clients. Not a conveyor belt of guys.

And believe it or not, most of my clients are okay with that. The ones out there trying to get by with ONLY shorter sessions even when it’s a longer commute: usually be trying to get over on me. 

I just had a client “scam me” earlier this week. I seen it coming, but I was just happy to finally get a client in shitty ass Kansas City that I hate working in so much…because the clients suck and there’s always 100 escorts trying to advertise to these cheap ass, flaky ass clients out here: dude shorted me $100 from our agreed upon rate! Not to mention the parking at his hotel was $28. I had to explain the situation to the “customer service” who runs the facility, that I wasn’t even staying at the hotel: I was there to visit someone who agreed to pay for my parking because many garages are app/QR codes now.

Like I said above, that stuff generally does not work in the real world. Y’all think it’s just easy peasy to team up with another escort: keep in mind at the end of the day we’re technically trying to reach the same viewers.

Even when it’s not another escort directly in competition, I had a situation earlier this year where a guy I traveled to St. Louis with: had guys coming and going in the hotel last minute. I personally do not care to be a spectator or backseat to another dude’s sexual liaisons. Especially one who I don’t know well or who’s a close friend.

Now: the only time I will occasionally travel with friends, is if it’s just for hanging out only, with no emphasis on hooking up. In fact the group I do sometimes travel with, we all have a no hooking up agreement. Just keeps down on drama etc. I mostly only travel with clients or people I’m actively dating/involved with.

**And don’t think the escorts you do see traveling together, aren’t in some kind of situation or commitment together **

I would rather pay for hotel rooms at a reduced profit, than to share a hotel room with someone where I have to leave for a certain time while they fuck, with possibly my personal belongings in the room too. My “friend” did that on our last trip: 1 hour turned into 3 hours. While I waited in the lobby. This is after I drove 6 hours the night prior, then drove us again from downtown to a sketchy hotel by the airport the next day. All while being tired and unsexed. 
 

Needless to say, we aren’t friends anymore. But that taught me to not travel with anyone else who I’m not fucking directly.

Some cities I visit, hardly have any advertising competition. I don’t necessarily make up reasons as it could be anything from lack of funds, to discretion, or them browsing on freebie apps. 
 

But it’s uncommon that I’d be on the bottom of someone’s “list”. What place would you be on someone’s list? Are you all that and a bag of chips yourself to be making those claims? I mean if you’re going to make a statement like that, don’t think I don't have anything to back it up 😂

You are so raggedy, trashy and tired. 
 

I’ve told you before, take your clown self on somewhere. What are you bringing to the thread or post that’s conducive, other than being a sick fuck, a stalker, and a tattle tell? Grow up. And shut up. If you don’t like what I have to post, ignore me. Take your ass on somewhere. I won’t continue to respond to clownish activity:

I never said it was easy. I said it's an option. And one others working in the same field with the same struggles or annoyances can and are making work. It requires creating a system based on analysis of your network and what cities you're working in as you likely know.

Have you considered all this attitude you have is part of your struggles? Genuinely.

And regarding this:

"**And don’t think the escorts you do see traveling together, aren’t in some kind of situation or commitment together ** "

Yeah... It's called team work. They're a group of 10 or so escorts who are friends or know they can work with each other and they made a plan and executed it.
