Welp, if Marcellus doesn’t sense anything rotten … and if our young astute hero Laertes fresh from Paris meets the newly affluent Fortinbras, who seems to have done rather well out of the whole arrangement and now holds the keys … even Horatio may survive in a psychologically sweet state.

Could you pls decipher?

An 18 yo acquaintance , decided to start escorting. I asked him if he has the stomach for it and he replied, I go only with rich and good looking people. Probably many others think the same and this is a segment of escorting this forum is neglecting.

The strategy can work for a while but it is not a sustainable long-term business model. It's more of a fantasy version of escorting than a realistic representation of the job.

Someone might initially attract a handful of clients who fit that description but the pool of gay, wealthy, attractive men who regularly hire escorts is inevitably quite small. And even wealthy clients who hire escorts typically value variety and zero strings attached rather than committing to one provider indefinitely. Having money and options means they can easily move on to someone new.

The gay escort market is also heavily segmented by looks, age, body type, and specific archetypes. The "fresh 18" appeal probably has one of the steepest depreciation curves of all.

Put it all together: a small target market, high client turnover, a rapidly diminishing youth advantage and constant competition from newer faces. That's a business model with a ceiling and an expiration date, not a particularly reliable long-term career.

All things have a ceiling and an expiration date. The only certainty is death and taxes... (and death will soon be questionable). However he is doing great and I am glad for him. And just to clarify, it was not my idea to do this, knowing him, I was actually surprised.

We’re heading to Page 6, so no indicators of topic neglect thus far. The tea that we are banking on is a bit of juicy data that answers “Show me the money”. It might already be spent.

Worth considering, but not doing this long term is precisely the goal for more and more of the younger guys. Same with OnlyFans and other things like that that can result in a ton of quick cash. Get in, make what you can, and get out, is the point sometimes.

While I agree with you in principle, my experience in my years of hiring, which are more than I care to admit, has been somewhat different. I have only known one provider that worked for a little over 3 years before leaving this line of work and starting his own business. Even then, there were some pretty significant caveats: he worked virtually 24/7, didn't filter clients based on looks or age and happened to receive a small  inheritance that included both cash and real estate after a family member passed away.

I genuinely wish this young man the best of luck, but based on what I've seen over the years, the odds aren't exactly in his favor.
