Is anyone hiring right now? It's been so slow

Do you always let the fluctuations of the stock market take control of your life?[/color]

Very wise words. Many thanks.

 

I hope I was only asking a much more limited question again about "Male escort economics: What's Fair to the Escort?"

 

For those of us with ample savings in diversified categories, there is less to fear. I worry about the less fortunate, those who are victimized, those who are not privy to financial secrets, those who don't have enough capital to buy into more privileged investments sold in increments of $1 million or more, or who have less experience in the complexities of modern economics.

 

I can't believe that suffering, whether amongst humans or animals, occurs for a better reason other than the rank greediness of some men.

 

It is good to have a comforting philosophy or faith. I'll re-read the uplifting words you kindly shared many times over.

 

With appreciation,

don't blame the escort for your financial downfalls. supply and demand. for Steven and Benjamin, the demand is there. My demand, for one

 

And which one that be jimboiNOTbn? Steak or Mickey D's...

I hope additional people more experienced than myself can keep this thread alive.

It is now 12:30 AM Tuesday EST; the stock market has crashed; and the Asian markets are now tanking.

 

It would be great to hear from more escorts. I wonder if any have come up with creative solutions. I understand from a trusted source (an escort) that too clients just call on "a whim." He bases his prices more on what other escorts charge, on the average. I think this is because it is too difficult to gauge exactly how high one could charge on the basis of "what the market would bear," or how many more clients one "might" get by a reduction. None of this appears to be very much of a science, except that differing rates tend to appear on different tiers or platforms ranging from Rentboy to Craigslist. Another platform is "www.SeekingArrangements.com" although I think that appeals to a different crowd.

 

Thanks to any who can add to the conversation.

Have a go at it on The Island that is Palm Beach where "old and rich" is the principal occupation of the residences. It is a highly competitive market "in the season", but, in the summer "low season", the mature gentlemen of means remaining on the island are lonely and looking. Being of a certain age, they are not given to trolling by reason of physical infirmity, and, thereby, they are easy game. The Island, of course, is the "parking lot" for the largest number of registered Rolls Royce motor cars in the US which is indicative of the affluence of the "market" in that place. Keep in mind, however, the admonition of a famous Parisian courtesan: as a rule, "great kings give little gifts; on the other hand, little kings give great gifts". It was a good enough "line" to make the script of "Gigi".

Magnificent description!

It's now 12:23 pm EST and the US markets are up 231 points; or about 3%.

 

Clients are very much still hiring. I've had an amazing July and beginning of August with some exceptional clients. I'm very grateful for that.

 

For the most part, I base my pricing on what others in my same area are charging- I think it's a fair price and a great value.

 

Here's to hoping the markets and economy continue to rise.

Very reasonable and nice comments from the field....!

I experienced it first hand, Joe. The person who called you to book a massage tonight was me. It's unfortunate (for me at least) that you have strict rules and turned down the business. The positive side: it's good that you're busy. I look forward to experience your massage technique next time I'm in town. You have a very sexy southern accent.

 

Cheers, Steven ~

I try too keep it at 15 a week 3 aday or hours 10 am to 9pm

I sell allot of deep tissue massages and those can put extra strain on my own body. Yesterday I had too do 3 ninety minute massages. Biggest issue is no one ever wants morning appointments. It was all ready 2 pm when I did the first one. yesterday I had 9 phone calls but only 3 appointments to give out. I created the 3 a day limit after my MS diagnoses. I feel like number 3 should be as good as number 1.

Iv tried too do 4 b4 and felt I wasn't providing a 100%

Josephga-

 

I don't know how big you are but there is a slight gal here in MEM who uses foot massage for, among other reasons, it gives her hands a rest. She is much more able to continue or expand her services because of this respite. I have no idea if you could use this technique but I thought I would pass it along.

 

Best regards,

Joe, this makes perfectly sense. Your health is priority UNO.

Thanks for the private message and I look forward to experience your massage technique next time I'm in Atlanta.

I'm 6'4 195. I have really large hands. For me its not a hand issue. So far ive been lucky that MS hasn't effected my hands. For me it effects 2 area's of the body. the right leg and right foot goes numb after to many hours on it. For me its more of a standing to long issue. The worst side effect and one I haven't had yet with a client is vertigo. So back in march I started limiting clients too the number I feel I can do and still produce a 100 % outcome which for me is 3 aday. On sundays I limit my hours from noon to 6pm. I'm actually thinking about taking sunday as a day off. sundays I'm lucky to even get one.

Joseph - Everyone I know LOVES to have their feet and hands massaged. You could get a stool to sit on and do these two things to give yourself some rest. Also a nice scalp massage from a stool would be appreciated by your clients. Make the work easier for you.

I know other people who LOVE their cock and prostate massaged ...

[josephga]

lol i normally do the feet and hands from a stool during the last 15 minutes of the sessions. normally i ask permission too to do the scalp because some dont want their hair messed up. I take a 1 hr break between each client too.

[Edward]

I have not hired lately. I feel the last hires I made, I was hustled.

[bcohen7719]

Edward:

 

Would you be able to share any details,

if possible?

 

I've been hustled too (see separate thread on

"Dolce Vita") and it made me feel like a fool.
