WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORD , "now?"

[Michael Wayne]

In the current state of our biz all the ad sites are promoting, "Available now," "online now," ,"actively seeking clients now," etc. This is reality. There are less and less advance appointments and more and more guys who schedule in advance decide to cancel for whatever reason. Question is simple guys: when a clent texts, emails or calls you and asks for right now how do you react? Do you have positve feelings or say, "damn, i wish he would have given notice." I built my biz by being available NOW when others asked for notice. I was 24/7 before it was in vouge. I was the most spontaneous guy and I would drive an hour with no upcharge at 3am and never complain. glad to get the money! "How fast can you get here?" Does that give you an adrenaline rush and a semi or do you just kind of say, "Damn, I wish I would have finished law school so I could have a scheduled life with actual appointments." As a kid the excitement with me was infectious and the business was a game.........................finally: a question to clients: are you more attracted to a guy who is booked up way in advance or to someone who is willing to work with you and see you , "NOW?" I think there are some escorts who foster a busy image (like a restaurant) to seem in demand but they spend many a saturday night home alone cause no one calls them anymore cause they think they are booked and would not see me or even take my call......http://www.rentboy.com/mikey9nola1 239-464-6053

In my opinion, and I am unanimous in this, I never book "now" because the logistics are too difficult. It is far easier to book a month or a week in advance and book the hotel. I tried booking "now" in Orlando and it has always been a disaster.

In massage there's very few advanced bookings most want it now or the same day.

I book "now" appointments all the time, which usually translate to regulars later because they appreciate the flexibility. It's usually 50-50 or 60-40 (in favor of "now" as opposed to plan-aheads) in my appointment roster, whether they are regulars or new—because many of my clients get some free time here or there all of a sudden and decide they wanna git wit me.

 

And I'm all like: aight den.

I had one escort tell me he needed 12 hours to "mentally prepare himself" for an appointment and was quite mad that I would expect him to be available with only 2 hours notice. I looked elsewhere. Of course his ad said nothing about any advance notice needed when I called him. He then changed his ad to say he needed 8 hours advance notice but then 24 hours later that had disappeared in his ad. Guess he saw that that did not go over well with people.

Are You Being Served?

I appreciate the guys who are available on short notice because my schedule is often unpredictable. But there are certain guys who I will schedule with as soon as I see we will be in the same city at the same time because I want to make sure I get to see them. For me, it's kind of a supply and demand issue. If there's a guy I really like and we are rarely in the same city, I force myself to plan ahead. If there's a guy I have the opportunity to see regularly, then I appreciate the flexibility of short notice appointments. But I'm rarely willing to make the sacrifice required to reschedule appointments or make the excuses at work or home to plan ahead if I haven't seen a guy before. The guy would have to be really well reviewed or recommended by someone I trust in that situation. I guess what I'm saying is that I need to experience a guy on short notice first, and if we really hit it off, then I will find a way to plan ahead in the future if necessary.

I book ahead with visitors to NYC, but occasionally want something more spontaneous with a local guy and then I'm looking when I'm phoning.

I hated that. It's all fun and games until one day you show up at that time and hear them snoring behind a locked door (true story) with no apology the next morning. And very rarely do I get those requests anymore, but last week I had 2 of those requests. One guy called me at 2 am. Then again near 4 am. Left me a voicemail. The next day I called and left a message, no response back. Why?

 

See, when I started out I was kind of overly eager for appts. and would allow clients to push me around like that. Driving 110+ mph to get into the center of town because even though they waited all day to call me and ask me to come within 30 minutes. But then again, I didn't have an incall location in those days either so I almost had no choice.

 

Another reason I don't do it is because most times they don't really have much respect for the escort as much as their needs. Last week, guy emails me at 10:12 pm saying he's at "Westen" (Westin) and then leaves his number starting with (771-doesn't exist) instead of (773) Chicago area. Why, I don't know. Anyhow, over 3 hours go by with him texting about he's new, what's my rate (posted) etc. Then, he couldn't even tell me what he wanted to do, just said, "I just want to get off". Just clueless. Although he gave me his room number and asked me to come, it was already 1:30 am. I decided to cancel because he'd wasted so much of my time dithering around that I was not fixing to go out there.

 

The next day, he texts and asks me to come over. Then cancels immediately after saying he's tired. The 3rd day, I heard nothing back from him. So the hell if I was going to drive out to his hotel at 1:30 am earlier that morning and he probably not answer the door!

 

I don't have an issue being available now...but don't expect me to arrive in 20 minutes and cancel because I can't. Available now is within the next 1-4 hours for an outcall. Incall can be much less time. Hell, even FedEx overnight and UPS air won't get your package until the next day and even then you need to be in there by 6! And if you do it on Friday it won't get there til Monday...if it's a holiday it won't until Tuesday, even if you paid $30 for overnight delivery. I'd be damned spoiled to find a guy to do exactly what I want and how I want him to look like within an hour. So give guys a break if it doesn't happen in 30 minutes. Not everyone happens to live in the center of town gay ghetto.

 

AND, and...........if someone wants to see me either NOW or LATE at night, don't friggin email me. I mean, how soon can you want me over if you're emailing me? Atleast text or pick up the friggin phone. There's been times I won't even respond to an email if it's asking, "can you come over now?" As if I enjoy being at the very beck and mercy of my email. If someone wants now, learn from the straight men. When they want pussy, they don't be texting and emailing and all that. They have a few girls on speed dial and start calling them up. Its quick, easy and efficient.

 

There was 1 exception I did a late night call at 1 am that was a long drive away. But the client had called 2 days earlier and the day of. I also didn't go for less than my 2 hour rate. You have to not let them push you around and expect you to come for chump change or they will expect everyone else to do the same.
