411 on Alex Ward (Chicago)

[gnosvos]

Hi all,

 

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with this guy? Was thinking about maybe contacting him after reading augustclipper's glowing review, though wanted to see if anyone else could add some details. Always nice to get more than one opinion.

Many thanks to all

I have seen him more than once. Recommended. Pics/ad/stats accurate.

[gnosvos]

Thanks down_to_business!

 

I saw in the review for oral "gets", does that mean he does not reciprocate? Not a dealbreaker but just curious.

[down_to_business]

I would recommend you ask him if its important to you. Reciprocal oral is not something that I requested from him, but I can't see him refusing if it is something you really wanted. Sorry I can't be more help from you in that area.

The only thing I noticed in the pics is that the 4th pic on Rentboy does not match the other 3 unless he's put on some serious muscle in the interim. The guy in the 4th pic has very big quads and the upper body is different while the other 3 pics show much leaner quads.

For what it is worth, I have never known Alex to use any picture that was not his own. I have met him several times over the past two or so years, although it has been more than 6 months since I have seen him last. Durring the last time I saw him (a multiple day engagement), he was in fact working out hard and regularly every single day.

I wasn't saying he did, just pointing out that the 4th pic doesn't match the other 3. And it's quite obvious. And since you have seen him, which pics look more like him? The first 3 or the 4th one? Because they are radically different.

[Bart]

I would say this to the pictures they are all probably from the last 8 months, I dont find them radically different, other than I think there are times he likes to trim and shave the body a bit. I am guessing you dont see gentlemen day to day who work out. Depending upon the point in the day when you have rehydrated with protein shakes your body can fill out a bit more than at other points in the day. If you dont believe me A. ask a personal trainer at the gym, even 4 hours can make a big difference. B. Look at the weigh ins for UFC, I believe one is coming this Friday on Fuel. They weigh in and then immediately start drinking fluids. The next day during the fight the change is amazing and legs are definitely one place you can see it. Gentlemen like Alex who work out on a regular schedule can look a bit thicker day-to-day, even within an 8 hour day. I saw him in December before I wrote the review the pic 4 probably a bit closer and I think the first 3 might be a bit older like summer. Thing is where the pictures were taken he has only been living there less than a year and the wood floor looks just like a corner in his bedroom.

 

If I had a negative which really is nothing I cant deal with, he has another job and his schedule is not the same week-to-week. He just got back from a long trip so I am trying to see him soon again. He is just the nicest guy in the world that you just want to keep conversing but then in bed what a stud. As to giving oral ask, like DTB I dont hire for that and not on my top 10 things I look for in a gentleman.

 

I just cant say enough nice things about the young man.

Excuse me? Remember the phrase "assuming facts not in evidence? You just did that. The pics are radically different. The quads in the 4th pic are almost twice the size of the quads in the other pics. That's not achieved by dehydrating and rehydrating. Give me a break.

 

I'm not suggesting it's not him, I'm suggesting that he either looks one way or the both but he doesn't look both ways on the same day or week which is what you seem to be suggesting.

[down_to_business]

So there you have it. Thoughts from 2 people who have actually seen Alex, or the criticisms of the guy who is now the wannabee "Rex Reed" of escort photo critiques (see Melissa McCarthy thread for reference) and has never seen Alex in person.

 

Believe who and what you want to believe. All the best in your hiring decisions, but Alex is one of the good guys. I am done with this thread.

I think the camera angles may be exaggerating any differences - in the second picture, I think the angle is causing his lower body to appear smaller in proportion to his upper body, and the biker shorts also conceal any definition. In the fourth picture, I think his lower body may be slightly exaggerating because of the angle (i.e., they are closer to the lens - he's almost leaning backward a bit.

Either way, looks like a hot guy!

Thanks down_to_business and Bart, definitely going to proceed after the great recommendations. My first hire so glad to see more than one opinion on him, makes me feel much more at ease!

Well I have to update on this thread as I tried to set up my first escort encounter (with anyone) with Alex for a few weeks ago. We stayed in contact up until the night before, where I confirmed for that next evening, he texted back that everything was good to go. This was for an outcall at my place, so I spent the day getting my place and self ready (was definitely nervous being the first experience). One hour past our meeting time I text to make sure he can find the place okay, 2 hours past call to see if everything's ok, no answer. Next morning get a text that he took a nap and overslept. Was a little upset but emailed him back a couple days later saying it was all good and I'd like to see when he'd be available next. That was about 2 weeks ago.

 

So no call no show, and now ignoring me.

Funny that he's coverboy of the day today. Was really hoping this would be a good one, but can't say much great at the moment. *sigh*

Wow. How completely unprofessional and rude of Alex. Does this site do "no show" reviews? Might be good to do one so others are warned about his behavior. I have done overnights and weekends and so far, no "no shows". The weekends required the guys to travel and none of them missed a flight. In your case, Alex didn't even have to leave the city he lives in. Sorry this happened to you and be glad you didn't lay out airfare in advance. Best of luck on your next hire. As I mentioned, have done overnights and weekends and none of them flaked so there are good guys out there waiting for your call.

I guess "down_to_business" was just his shill. Glad he's done with this thread

Barring the fact that the pics have changed since this thread began, I'd say the pics are all of the same guy. White always expands a figure, darker colors are always slimming, and a particular style trick for enhancing features is choosing the right length of clothing for that feature. If your pants or shirtsleeves cut you off at the widest part of your arm or leg, the illusion is that you have a larger, thicker limb. That's why the fourth pic has his quads looking bigger, because they end at the widest part of his quads, while the black long shorts end at the narrowest part right above the knee; not to mention the fact that the pose with his legs apart does flex the quads more.

 

I think what's more telling that this is all the same guy is the abs, happy trail and the length of his torso and the part where his lats flare outward: they are consistent throughout all 4 pics. I'd want to hire this guy (well, aside from the fact that he flaked out on the guy three posts above this one) and these pics are consistent enough for me. My two cents.

I hope I'd have better luck with others, though to be honest I just kind of have a bad taste in my mouth over this whole business. It took a lot to get the nerve to get everything setup for my first time, not too keen to run into a repeat of this situation. Definitely glad I wasn't flying anybody! That would have been absolutely horrible.

Keep the faith, try and stick to well reviewed guys off this site and don't do anything involving paying for travel unless your fairly confident in the guy you're dealing with. Also, write a review on this site so others can be warned and the escort can weigh in or stay silent. Good luck and have fun.

gnovi I am sorry that this occurred for you. I just saw Alex again 2 weeks ago and he was very prompt in his responses and for me. Since I have the first review, I can actually say the last was great again but that is no excuse for him not to follow up with you. I can only relate the experience I had. I have mentioned before that just because a gentleman has reviews from long time reviews as myself with over 50 is no guarrantee that your experience will be the same. Unfortunately this site does not do no shows. Since I am one of the posters who does support this particular gentleman I have to apologize that it did not happen for you and I can see where others may have pause. Up to now I have had no issues myself.

Thanks Bart, I have no doubt that you and the other reviewer with experience with Alex had a great time. Unfortunately I got the short straw of the experiences I guess... hahaa. Really is a shame since Alex seems like he's a nice genuine person and would have been a great first time for an escort experience. I had started talking to him before I even started this thread and we exchanged conversation for 2 weeks before the meet date... why he went silent on me is really strange. When I emailed him after the failed date I made sure to explain I had no ill feelings and understood, hoping to rebook, so it's not as if I sent an angry email and that's why he won't reply now. I don't know...

Gnovi, basically Alex is wrong not to respond back to you. But, and I don't mean to chastise as I dont know the exact situation, talking to someone for two weeks might be excessive. Escorts sometimes look at people who contact them way in advance as being flakes. I'm not saying this is true in every case. But in some cases an escort is bound to think, ' this guy is just wasting my time'- especially if you are local. Now I'm not saying this is what happened with you. Three or four messages over a two week span to set things up would probably be ok- but 8, 9, 10 messages or more over a two week period might be considered intrusive especially if you seem nervous in the exchanges. I had an experience with an escort once coming in from out of town. I had contacted several weeks before when I saw on his ad that he was coming into my city. So I emailed- over the course of 2 or 3 emails we set things up. Well he kept responding back to my emails- I didn't really need to keep emailing him to arrange things- but I thought for some reason he likes to keep in touch with his clients- so after each of his emails, I emailed him back. The emails never seemed to lend themselves to a stopping point- like- ' I'm looking forwarding to meeting you- will email you when you are in town next week'. Eventually he got upset- told me he had been wasting more time on my emails than he had on any other client. I was shocked as I hadn't really wanted to continue the exchange, I had been fine with setting things up. Anyway we patched things up before he arrived in town- and had a pleasant not spectacular overnight.

 

Now this might not have been your case at all. Plus the oversleeping was all his fault. I once was supposed to meet with a masseur. We had been together a day or so previously for a great time but who fell asleep and never answered his hotel room door the following time we were supposed to meet. And the stupid hotel- I had never had this happen before, I called and asked to be connected to room so-and-so, they wouldn't connect me unless I knew the last name of the person staying there which I didn't- I guess in this day and age it's an anti-crime measure. And at this hotel you couldn't direct dial even at the hotel by knowing the room number. It was frustrating. I stayed at the hotel two hours even knocking on his door multiple times. But he was dead to the world. He finally contacted me like 30

minutes after I left, and we had another great session or two before he left the city. So oversleeping does occur. On a personal level, I have sleep apnea. I have occasionally missed meetings, appointments, etc because of it

 

As for Alex- it's a shame he's not answering back- it may be embarrassment. My advice if you are still interested in booking him- try calling and not texting. And don't make the appointment for a time in advance more than the following day. Most of my hires over my entire career of hiring have been for the same day I've called unless it's been someone I am planning on bringing in to me or an out of town guy who isn't in town yet.

Wow, I sound like a Chaka Khan song! As someone who just hired for the first time last week I know exactly what it feels like - I don't think I have ever been so nervous in my life. I would have been really hurt if I had this happen. Keep in mind, Alex isn't really rejecting you since he never saw you, it could have one of a million things, but I would have been sure that hiring an escort was not for me. I had a totally different experience, the gentleman I saw literally made me feel like an old friend within ten minutes - it really is a gift. This may be in poor taste (this is my first post here so I don't know all the rules) but maybe a really young escort isn't ideal for a first timer? I found someone who was hot as all get out, but the main reason I called him was how he acted when he posted in this forum - the kindness just showed. I wish there was a special marking to show which escorts are skilled at first hires. All the folks on this board seem really great, but I think some of them have forgotten how hard it is to make the first step. I hope you don't let this one experience turn you off on it, maybe try to find an escort that posts on this board that appeals to you?

It's funny as I was originally looking for an older escort, but something about his ad just nagged at me, especially after reading the great first review that was posted here. I think I'm pretty picky I guess in trying to decide for a first hire, it took me over a year just to get this far with arranging a first escort experience (over a year just in hiring in general, not just with Alex... lol).

 

When I first joined this forum, I was looking at trying to arrange with one of the escorts on this forum (who I'll leave nameless), which was about a year ago. We talked over email about looking to set something up but the conversation kinda fizzled, and lost contact. Probably more of my own fault as I probably was dragging it out on him and he saw me as a time waster, I tried to learn from that with approaching Alex, which I think I did well enough. Who knows... Everything happens for a reason.

 

Gar1eth - Thanks for the advice. I don't think the emailing was excessive, most of it was the first few days trying to arrange a date, then just 1-2 emails after just followup info and questions, short. My schedule is erratic and I work nights so that's why I was trying to setup something in advance. Last minute doesn't usually work well for me. But perhaps my next attempt I'll try to arrange for within a few days time, good advice.

I, too, "hope you don't let this one experience turn you off...." Do try "to find an escort who posts on this board who appeals to you." Afterwards, and with some time lap, try Alex again if he is really of a major interest to you, and as another poster stated, call him instead of texting.

 

-----------------About three or four months back, I had an appointment with a hot 18 year old escort in San Jose, CA. Everything was set, and the day of the appointment I rang him to give him my room number at the hotel. He asked me if the session was set for an hour, something which he should have remembered. I responded affirmatively; he asked if he could ring me back within a half hour; I again responded with a "yes." Well, lo and behold, instead of his calling me back within that time limit, he texted--stating that he'd be unable to see me. I was crushed because I'd drive to his city and had forked out money for a hotel room. I was more than crushed; I was pissed. I rang him and left a message stating that that is definitely no way to establish himself as an escort. Well, men, I want to see this hot lad very, very bad still and want to see him before the end of 2013. I'll let more time lapse before I ring him to try to set up another appointment. Since his fee is reasonably low, I will try to set up a two hour appointment with him. {...name is Joey. Check him out at http://www.rentmen.com {San Jose}. He has a hard, hot bod, beautiful face and body and carries a 9.5 thick cock, something that I yearn to have planted into my tight anal crevice. My oral juices are on overload as well!}
