Just wondering if this is common?

[LurkerSpeaks]

almost a year ago, on my last visit to Montreal, I hired an escort for an overnight. I had a great time, and posted a nice review of him here. Ever since then, he has stayed in contact with me by email, usually dropping me a short note every couple of weeks or so. I was wondering, is this normal for an escort to keep in contact like this? On one hand, I think he is just being a good business man and doing his own version of PR work. On the other hand, I wonder??? Any insight here guys? Have you remained in contact with an escort, (at his lead) after just a one time overnight?

There are 3 or 4 guys who I have only met once, maybe twice, who will occasionally send me a "how are you?" email which usually contains a brief update on their lives. I don't receive anything as often as what you describe. It's always nice to hear from them. Some of these have been mass emails, sent to a group, with a little personalization, like my first name and a brief comment uniquely directed to me. These men are some of the best in the biz, friendly and personable. They are great guys, but they also do it for the marketing angle too. They have to keep their assets on display. Just thinking about two of them right now, and I am sorely tempted to make a road trip. }(

it is always a short, but personalized note. Sometimes containing new, g-rated photos of him. Always asking when i am coming back to montreal, that he wants to see me again...

There is one escort that I have been seeing on a regular basis for over five years. I have traveled with him and have made special trips trips to link up with him. We have stayed in touch over that time every couple of months or so. These messages tend to be of the update and "how are you doing?" variety. Over that time we have shared a lot of information and thoughts about various issues.

 

There are a couple of other escorts that remain in touch but not to such a degree as what you describe. I also get the personalized broadcast message from one of the traveling guys. Such communications certainly help build a loyal clientel in some instances. But one has to remain savy enough to realize that such practices can be part of a smart escort's business strategy.

 

I presume that you respond to these messages regularly and its not clear if you have initiated any yourself. Do any of the messages come across as the hard sell? Does he ask you for money or pester about when you will return to his city? If so then he may not be sincere and is just keeping you on the line so he can reel you in on your next visit.

 

However, its also likely that he connected with you on a different level than just the business transaction. He may genuinely like your personality and wants to maintain a level of contact.

My guess is that this is good marketing. The fact that you're getting personal messages, as opposed to broadcast ones with minimal personalization (if I understood you correctly), is a sign, to me, that he probably doesn't do this with every client, just with the ones he hits it off with and would like to have as regulars.

 

(Aside: my most egregious experience of the broadcast message was receiving email from a traveling escort reading, approximately: "just wanted to let you know I'm in town from xxx to xxx and would love to see you." Problem was that we had just had a session together 24 hours before!)

We'd all like to think that was true, but the chances are between slim & none. Let's not forget he is a business man - an "independent contractor" so to speak. In all probability he is just using what he learned in "Marketing 101"

It has been known to happen. And from the sounds of it, it looks like that is the case. An escort who is looking for business usually wouldnt continue to email an out of town client about once a week.

 

Your prestimism towards escorts seems to continiously out weight your logic.

 

As Usual (no pun intended)

Just a little more info on the situation, then how about some input for some of our resident 'scorts? The escort is question is young (20-ish), with a short list of reviews (all very favorable). He is a student and also holds down a "regular job", so he stays busy. I am not even sure what I am asking for here...

new..LOL on The "Broadcast" Message! :P

[firecat]

Lurker,

 

I am sure from your message that you are referring to Johnny. This is normal procedure from him. This is not to say that he is not genuine but that he does this with any number of clients because he loves the interaction and yes it is good for business.

 

He's a sweet kid who craves affection but first he loves the money he makes to buy all the extras that he has. This is not a bad thing because it makes him good at his job.

 

Enjoy him but don't take it for more then it is. Just my opinion!!1

[LurkerSpeaks]

Thanks for replying, firecat...Yes, you are exactly right, it is Johnny...And thanks, that is good to know...he is a very sweet boy... i had a great time with him... and will probably see him again... and by the way, Thanks again, very belatedly, as you were very gracious to me on my first ever trip to montreal two years ago, by inviting me to join you and Kevin at your table at Taboo.

Since Firecat answered your specific question about Johnny. I would like to address it in a much broader sense. I would agree with the other posters on here that attribute the follow up emails, even if they are tailored to you personally, to great customer service rather than an indication that the escort wants to take the relationship to the next level. There are exceptions as we have seen on this board. However, by and large, personal emails are normally a sign of a good escort, nothing more.

I may very well be "prestimistic" as you infer - but I prefer to think of myself as "realistic". If you are inclined to believe in the tooth fairy then good on you. What ever works, honey.

[Guest 8mile]

Pessimism and realism are far from synonyms. Realism follow the philosophy boiled down to, what you see is what you get. For example a realist response to the opening post would have been "The escort is replying to you to send you a picture, tell you how he is doing and inquire about your next visit to his town." Your response however was far from realism.

 

If you inclined to believe your view that the glass is half empty equates the philosophy that there is liquid in the glass, then no not good for you honey; then you need to learn your isms.

Zachary,

 

The OP hired the client ONCE. Other people received the same kind of frequent e-mails from the same client. Have you even bothered to read what others have posted? If there was ever a case where the glass is empty, this is it!

[Guest 8mile]

Step to the side would you? I'm having a conversation with zipperzone.

[Guest alanm]

This is a public meassage board, my man.

Hey Teach! I am well aware that they are not synonyms and my reply did not infer that. I used the word realistic as an opposite. I am surprised that you couldn't understand the distinction, being so quick to lecture people and all.

 

If you really think my glass is half empty, keep in mind that at least it is made of Waterford crystal, unlike the chipped enamel cup you drink from. I know which I prefer.

[Guest 8mile]

yes he did. he really told me off.

I may not have read every posting on this site since day one, but I have read most of them. There have been many heated arguments, but your "step to the side" comment is a first. If you want to have a private conversation with zipperzone, do it via e-mail rather than hijack a thread.

[Guest 8mile]

Yeap. I sort of go the meaning of your secondary post from the words "This is a public meassage board, my man."
