Greedy/Selfish Clients?

[ad rian]

I was curious whether clients hold back on positive reviews of their favorite escorts for fear of having to share them with others, reduced availability and/or increased prices? If so, is this a regular phenomenon, or only when you find a diamond or pearl? Conversely, do escorts treat clients who give them a favourable review better, perhaps offer price or time discounts? I am not talking about planted reviews, just the spontaneous response to a great review from a client.

It's an interesting question. Personally, I've posted about half a dozen reviews (and submitted another one that wasn't posted before the escort retired) and I'd consider all them positive. I've never had any problems about sharing positive feedback even when there are already tons of positive reviews of the escort already (like Matt of Vancouver). I don't really worry about the reduced availability aspect because I don't live in a major escort city and so have to plan (and book) ahead anyways.

 

Most (though not all) of the escorts I've reviewed have contacted me to thank me for the review. In my case I've certainly not requested (or been offered) any special discounts, but I do think that it has made some difference that's less tangible. One escort who I reviewed actually cut short his vacation so he could meet me when I was visiting his city for a couple of days (I didn't find this out until afterwards). Another escort has been very patient with me as we've tried to set something up for this summer but I've been unable to commit to any dates (or even a city for that matter)!

 

I don't know whether it's because I'm a repeat client or because of the reviews and frankly I don't care. While I'm certainly happy to stroke the escort's ahh... ego, my purpose is also to help fellow users of this site.

My personal approach is posting a review any time I've seen an escort at least twice. Would hate to poison someone's reputation because they (or I) had an off night. Two positive experiences, and I write a review.

 

Never worried about decreased availability. Escorts (usually) seem to appreciate repeat business. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't, I guess.

 

As to raised prices, I'm aware of a couple of escorts I've seen regularly who raised their prices. Both times, the escort made it clear to me that they'd continue to see me at the old price because they appreciated my business. As a token of my appreciation, I did slip in a few extra bucks when paying the fee.

OK, I 'm not as "normal" and pragmatic as the other two guys who have responded to this.

 

Let me explain...

 

My first encounter with a good... no, actually a GREAT escort was preceded by years of aimless contacts with street hustlers (when things were, believe it or not, a bit safer than then are now...)who were out strictly for their daily crack cocaine hits and my money.

 

Well then, when I finally discovered this site and the wealth of info therein, I was as happy a pup sucking on a tit. The escort I then got together with turned out to be the sweetest and sexiest guy I had ever met. And I had not met many. So you can guess that what followed was some infatuation, some puppy love, some possesiveness when we were together.

 

So being of immature mind and a sick romantic at heart, I absolutely did not want to encourage other folks to be seeing "my guy", even though he himself admitted that even before escorting, he had already been with, and would continue to be with, literally thousands of other guys 'cause he was a sex-pig.

 

That was yesterday.

 

Today, I no longer am so romantic with him, not so enamored of him, 'cause we had a conflict of sorts, which we we are working on to get over and to build on in order to continue to see each other on this business arrangement.

 

Part of the resolution was for me to see other guys for the big nasty, not just him. Well, I did do that and for this new guy, now that the romantic love thing or whatever has hopefully passed, I was so pleased with the encounter with this new 'scort, that I wrote up a review the day after, just to let folks know that there's another great escort out there, and to sort of let myself know that, Hey, I'm over this thing.

 

So I think whether one writes a review or not all depends on what's going on in the "background" with the client, how the client views the aim of the client/escort encounter/relationship.

 

That said, I myself have wondered why some escorts who have been around don't get anymore new reviews. Things sort of stop at say, 1999 or so, and you KNOW that they are still in the business, so does this mean that there are no longer new clients, or are there so bad that no one wants to ever write a review anymore, or is it something in between? Because I would hesitate to engage a guy if he doesn't have a relatively "fresh" review published.

 

Thanks!

A couple of the people I have seen were already reviewed here, and I have nothing to add to what has been written.

 

A couple of times I have had escorts indicate to me that they do not want to be reviewed on this site because they are not interested in seeing any new clients.

 

And once or twice there were escorts whom I would have been willing to recommend to other clients who visit this site. The problem was that I could not recommend to the escorts that they see some of the clients who visit this site. :-)

[+ Axiom2001]

When I began seeking the services of escorts (March 2001), I did not know about this site. One escort whom I discovered was from an ad in the BAY AREA REPORTER (BAR) in San Francisco. This man was a very hunky Russian but was bad news; he thought I'd only wanted to blow him as he indicated previous clients had only done. The session was virtually a non-one. I gave him twenty dollars for his taxi.

 

After this fiasco, I selected the other three escorts after having seen their posting on another site. Because of my inhibitions and newness to this, I did not have a really good time. One of these men I shall see again; he's hot, and I am no longer a virgin in seeking the services of escorts, so I guarantee myself that he and I will have a hot-rocking time. He's based in SF but travels to Australia and Paris as often as the opportunity arises.

 

It was not until June of 2001 when I was in NYC that I felt comfortable being with escorts. I had a tremendous time with an escort from NYC/NJ who had an excellent website featuring black and white photos; I agreed to see him again during my next visit to 'The Big Apple'. From our time together, I wrote him an outstanding "glowing" review.

 

The other man who I saw during this time and who will recently retire was hot, but I again felt intimidated by his looks and overall presence: the meeting was so, so, but I wrote two reviews which got printed. I have always yearned to see him again, for it was the fault of both of us as to why the session did not go as I had anticipated. Unfortunately, he will no longer be escorting after July 7, 2002. I wish he would select a later date in July.

 

From this time on, I have engaged escorts: if I find a connection prevalent and if the sex is inordinately satisfying to steamy-hot, I write about my experiences and have encouraged others to engage the services of these men.

 

There are so many men out there in this business; it has been overwhelming. My "purse" can only hold so many bills, and I am far from being nel. I am masculine, but my budget can only accommodate so much.

 

So, finally, in a direct response to this question-- I am neither greedy nor selfish when it comes to writing reviews of the experiences I've had with male escorts. I want others to reap the same or similar enjoyment or release.

I write reviews for the very good, and on a few occasions for the bad. The good but not great tend not to get written up. I review usually after the first meeting, second at the latest, but since I tend to repeat with those I really like, most of my meetings are not written up. This may partially explain why some of the guys who have been around awhile don't have a lot of new reviews. I've seen my most regular guy for 5 years on an almost monthly basis. I reviewed him very early on, but even though our sessions continue to be great, haven't posted a review since. I also book far in advance, just because of my schedule, so their getting busy is not an issue with me.

It has also been my experience that once you have become a regular your rate remains locked in when they raise their rates, or at least is a lot slower to rise.

[ad rian]

These responses make me think of another twist to this thread. I have noticed that often with reviews escorts write back to clarify their practices. For instance, maybe an escort connects with a client so while normally a top, he bottoms efusively for a particular client. If the client (who likes bottoms) writes a positive review, the next guy may be disappointed because the escotrs refuses to bottom. Or maybe the escort is not a skilled oralist, but when presented with a massive member, he goes crazy down there. I point this out because I am not sure that my "positive" experiences are generaliazable because often the escorts tell me they are doing things they don't ordinarily do. Am I gulible? Or lucky? At any rate that is one reason why I hesitate to give positive reviews (although I admit I also have sharing issues too)!

I love greedy clients who can't get enough of my cock (oops, did I get the question wrong? Pardon my self-promotion. Carry on, men.)

I've been told by many clients that they aren't going to write a review. Why? Because they either have nothing new to add, or a few have said, that when they see someone with too many reviews, it puts them off, rather than makes them want to hire that escort.

How do others feel on that subject?

Are a ton of reviews, even if they are all great, a turn off? And why?

 

Personally, I have 29 fantastic reviews, and not one negative one. Now I know that there have been some clients I've seen that have been... um.... less than satisfied with the service. (for whatever reasons, IE, they caught me on an off day, or during an emotional crisis(hey I'm only human) or I wasn't what they expected)

So why no negative review? I dunno, maybe they realized it was an off day?

I also was recently told by someone I met for the first time, that they didn't want to write a review, because he said my reviews currently make me sound super human: ) and he, although very pleased with our meeting,(we are seeing each other again) found me to be a mere mortal, with everyday issues and problems like every other human being: )

Matt(and a trumpet sounded, as he fell to earth from the heavens... ok it was a car horn and I was falling down drunk... )

The short answer is no. I have reviewed the vast majority of escorts I have met. A small handful I have passed on reviewing because the experience was lackluster -- neither good or bad -- probably due to poor chemistry. How can one fault that.

 

Of the many I have reviewed positively two were without any reviews. Early on I had considered your questions about the indirect impact on me of my reivew and decided that if an escort was good enough to warrant a review then he would get one. I was interested in supporting guys who deserved it.

 

I revisited the question again when I reviewed my first escort without any reviews -- knowing I was setting the ball in motion. I was very impressed with the guy and I wanted him to succeed; and he was trying to climb out of debt. Before the review he relied exclcusively on print adds. I was my impression he was close to giving up escorting because of the his business climate.

 

Did it impact me? Yes, he became very popular and eventually his rates went up - twice -- though not out of line with the local maket. Although I was never asked to pay the new rates I did because I don't want an escort who sees me on a 'regular' basis taking a 'loss' to see me. Eventually this will become a 'burden' to the relationship. A additional impact was that his popularity grew and he became even more difficult to schedule.

 

I had anticipated this potential when I submitted the review. If I had to do it over again I wouldn't change a thing. He worked himself out of debt and it is my impression that he is doing very nicely. I'm glad if I helped him turn his business and personal circumstances around.

> I have reviewed the vast majority

>of escorts I have met.

 

A side note. I was going to submit a second review on an escort I have seen several times over the last 20 months. I reviewed him after our first meeting and the review was really more about my experience that it was about him. I thought a follow-up review would give more objective info about him and about how 'our experience' has held up over the long run. The day I sat down to sketch the review, another client posted a second review on this same escort. It took the wind out of my sails. Didn't want to establish a trend or pin on a 'me-too' badge.

 

 

As for the first time review on another escort:

If I hadn't reviewed him then it probably was only a matter of time unitl someone else did.
