Today's coverboy - Jim Slade in Dallas

[guyinsf]

I find today's cover "boy," Jim Slade in Dallas, very sexy but I am also very suspicious. In addition to the usual first review of an escort written by a first time reviewer, the tatoo on his arm looks totally fake, like it was added on using some cheap photo editing tool. (Either that or he had his skin bleached out around the area of the tatoo to accent it!)

 

After looking at this it made me wonder: Are pictures of men are being taken from various web sites and/or chat rooms and then being used here to represent escorts who may not even exist? Or are there really that many new escorts being hired by men who have never hired an escort before but who just happen to know about this website so they can submit a review right after their date?

I was also surprised to see a "debut" of a escort I have never heard of or seen with a first time review. The reviewer responded to the question of "where did you find him" with: A website advertising escorts. I keep my eye out for all the hot Dallas escorts that advertise on all of the free escort websites and I have never seen this escort before. I also noticed the digitally fake looking tattoo on his forearm. If anyone else can shed some light on where ( or if ) they have seen Jim Slade's ad and pic and post the link here, that might help determine if his services are legit or not.

I know David Forrest is promoting him so that indicates he exists and is legitamate.

I checked out David Forest's website, http://www.forestmen.com, but Jim Slade was not listed anywhere on the site. I wonder which escort website this reviewer used in order to even know of his existence. Surely someone else has seen the website he advertises on and can provide us his web addy. He looks HOT I haven't been this intrigued by a mystery escort since the clandestine Mr. Larry Mark Reid }>

4/30 coverboy - Jim Slade in Dallas

 

still wondering if anyone else know's which website this escort advertised on so that the reviewer could contact him and hire him. I have looked at the Dallas section of every website I can think of and can't find him. Anyone else see the website he advertises on???

Jim Slade in Dallas

 

Your humble correspondent, after a long bike ride, a nice repast and 2.75 hours in the hot sun, spent another 83 minutes searching on Lycos, Google, Alta Vista and six escort sites and could not locate this gentlemen. Albeit, this means absolutely nothing.

 

If I were so inclined, I would simply dial the phone number provided on the review....

 

 

If you cannot be with the one you love, love the one you can find.

This was first provide by Butch Harris and Scorpio provided it as well in the Lounge section of the Message Center (topic 2675).

 

By the way, as to the tatoo on his arm and on his back side being highlighted, it is possible that both are new and that he is keeping them from the sun so that they do not fade, but if so apparently no one at Catalina or his another adult film companies knows about or has explained to Mr. Slade about self-tanning creams.

Hey,

 

This is Jim Slade in Dallas; let me clear up a few things: First, the tattoos are real, I put sunblock around them to keep them from fading. Anyone who knows anything about tattoos, knows that the UV rays from the sun will destroy any color in a tattoo within 2 - 3 years after having it put on. Second, I am NOT represented by David Forrest in LA. As a matter of fact, I am independent, both in escorting and in adult films. I just finished my third movie entitled, "Colton", starring Colton Ford, for All World's Video.

 

Thirdly, I do not ask any client to post reviews for me. Every review posted is of their own volition. I have started escorting only 5 weeks ago, so of course no one has heard of me, that doesn't make me any less real. I am listed on http://www.guys4rent.com; http://www.1on1manline.com; and http://www.meetlocalmen.com.

 

Finally, before posting personal assumptions on a message board for everyone to see, when the individual obviously doesn't know what they are talking about from a factual point of view, check with the source. I am aware that most people would be respectful and courteous to not do such things, so this is directed at those people who claim they "know" when they don't...

[guyinsf]

I don't see anyone posting above that they "knew" anything. There was speculation and curiosity. There are many threads speculating about many escorts on this site. This particular forum's purpose is to discuss escorts. There have been many other threads questioning the legitimacy of reviews of other escorts.

 

That being said, my initial intent wasn't to say I "knew" Jim Slade was fake or that the review was bogus. I posted it because I was very attracted to the picture and was curious. I still find some of the circumstances strange (including various people not finding you on escort websites when the review was first posted, even though the client said he found you on "some" website; but now we can see the ad posted on various sites).

 

Unfortunately, the only way of actually "verifying" anything is to hire someone yourself or get information from someone you have come to know and trust (if only as a presence on this board). Simply exchanging an email with someone or talking with someone on the phone only means that someone has that email address and phone number. If I sound skeptical it's because of some previous experiences where I communicated with guys posing as an escorts when they actually weren't. One guy even forwarded his phone to the local police dispatch number after he told me to call him back in 5 minutes. Imagine my horror when I hit "redial" 5 minutes later and reached the police.

Hey,

 

Thanks for clearing up your position....I TOTALLY understand your skepticism concerning people posting legitimate photos on websites. I used to be on SOH (Spy on Him) with Chris Steele in Dallas every Thursday evening. We would do a chat session and then perform a full scene for the viewers. We interact with people during the chat and even exchange photos. One night this guy, "RDOFFSHORE", was busted by a guy in SF sending out pics he had stolen off from some jock web site a day earlier! That was my first experience with someone being a liar on the internet; and then to do it with a couple of hundred people in the room was even more idiotic.

 

I am a very open and honest person. Most people in Dallas know me to be upfront and straightforward (without the infamous Dallas attitude). I must say that when my integrity is challenged or questioned that annoys me since I go to great pains, especially in escorting and adult films, to ensure I am honest with people and continually focusing on the client's desires, needs and expectations.

 

Escorting has literally taken me by surprise. I am a VERY sexual person and decided to do my first film in January, and then to become an escort in April. http://www.guys4rent.com was the only site I knew about to post a free advertisement. I found out about http://www.male4malescorts.com, (tied to http://www.meetlocalmen.com), when my first client told me he was going to write a review for me. Since then I have become to rely on this site to provide a full spectrum of escort resource information. More importantly, it provides a medium in which illegitimate escorts can be exposed, contributing to keeping our industry somewhat free of jerks.

 

I certainly appreciate your "watchdog" efforts. In the future, should there ever be a circumstance when something concerning Jim Slade comes into question, contact me and I will provide you the inside info.
