Grindr???

[Michael Wayne]

Guys I am a little slow to embracing and utilizing the newest technology. I am kind of an old school and old fashioned man. On my recent trip back to NOLA a client showed me the app Grindr and he suggested to me that I should use it to advertise my escort services. What do yall think of it? Have you used it? All imput is appreciated because the one thing that is true about our biz is that it is constantly evolving and we , as escorts and clients, need to keep up with all this or be run over by it. http://www.rentmen.com/mikeyusatop ps....I did book one really good client from it during the trip

you have to be very careful how you post here because they delete overt sexual messages. i think generous is an issue so they are not going to allow you to post as an escort.

My experience with Grindr was that it's almost completely filled with fakes and flakes.

"It's not you, it's me", well in this case it's not them, it's you (us).

 

They flake on us, because WE are old...

 

Sooner or later, older men like us give up and stop wasting our time going after young men who are not interested in hooking up with us.

That's why God gave me, you (us) the American Express card....

Well, not really, my "experience" was based on my young kids (all in their early 20s) telling me that what they find on Grindr is mostly fakes and flakes.

I'm surprised that you even know your kids are on Grinder. Damn.

Sorry, by "kids" I meant young people I mentor from my alma mater ....

I saw Dan Savage in Ann Arbor a few months ago. He talked about men of "our age" griping about the young gays of today not appreciating how hard it was to be gay when we were young. He said "And what you really all mean is that they won't fuck you. C'mon, guys...when you were 22, did you want to fuck someone the age you are now?"

[EZEtoGRU]

C'mon, guys...when you were 22, did you want to fuck someone the age you are now?"

True enough. Hell.....I'm in my early 50's and still am not attracted to guys over 40! I sure as hell didn't pursue guys in their 50's when I was in my 20's. It's the reality of the world.

[Diverdan]

Beg to differ with some of you. I have been with guys over 40 who were far superior to some of the guys I have met in their 20s. There is something to be said for "experience" especially with guys who stay active, in shape and are able to talk about something besides the latest TV program, hit songs, etc. I have never met a "twink" that I could enjoy, except perhaps in the baths, a strip club or something similar where there wasn't any need for conversation. I pursued and enjoyed guys of all ages when I was in my 20s, and some of those "old" guys taught me a lot more than my peers... so to each his own, but give me a MAN anytime.

+1...Thank you for making that observation DD.

[Zapped]

There are plenty of guys in their 20s attracted to older guys. They like "daddies," and they come in top and bottom varieties. I've hooked up with quite a few of them through Grindr. Maybe the intentional karma-building I did in my 20s and 30s is paying off now in my 50s. I'm off the market right now, because my lover is 22 and believes in monogamy.

 

Escorting through Grindr is tough because of their terms of service. I've occasionally chatted with someone with a hot pic who quoted me a fee, and I did not pursue it. If I want to hire an escort, I will do it through an escort site and look for reviews. So I don't recommend it as a source of potential clients to the OP.

[+ AceBanner]

Grindr police survey the site pretty heavily. Wording is key in your profile. The technology on Scruff is much better and they seem to allow more. I don't use it for escorting, myself, but it can certainly be a lot of fun personally. The idea of these tech-based meeting rooms is a little counter to escorting. I'm sure it would be possible to book appointments, but the idea is that it's easy to make a connection without having to pay. Keep us posted how you do, though!

[Michael Wayne]

So far no has changed or deleted the ad as I do not mention generous or escorting. I simply state my type (the cutest of the cute) and say that if you are not my exact type then there are , "OTHER," ways we can meet. I do state the size of my cock. There are older men there who tell me they appreciate my availability. these are guys who dont go to rentboy, rentmen, etc. YET

[+ Gar1eth]

I've run across two escorts on the social apps over the last two years. One was on Grindr and I think the other was either on Scruff or Mister. I don't think they said anything about escorting in their profiles, but each texted me when they saw I had looked at their profiles. I can't tell you what their profiles actually said as I deleted all my social apps in December. It was getting too frustrating seeing guys I was attracted to who were never attracted to me. I mean I met a few guys- but February 29th occurs almost as often the number of times I met guys. Out of two years of being on the apps, I really only met two guys that I had a complete sexual experience with. One of them is partnered and in an open relationship he says- but I could/can never figure out it's really open- or only open as long as his partner doesn't find out. And the other only met me because I could fulfill a certain fantasy for him. Otherwise I wasn't remotely his type. And after two or three meetings, he had enough.

I'm surprised how many guys in their 20's are attracted to older guys in Southern Cal. It's likely that many are motivated by money, but others simply enjoy an older partner. I look younger than my age and stay fit, so that may help. I have a 28 year old friend sleeping in the guest bedroom right now. I like having them around.

[Michael Wayne]

I am actually finding Grindr to be a fertile field for attracting new clients. More and more men are switching off the big three escort sites (sadly) and are moving on to sites like grindr. dont get me wrong now: my ads are still up on rentmen, rentboy and m4rn but i think it would be foolish to not put your product out there where the big fish are. We must dangle our worm where the fish are biting......lol! Here is what is working for me: i get a contact and the guy is OBVIOUS client material (nice, handsome but older and maybe a bit out of grindr shape) I send a very nice reply that includes a direct link to http://www.rentmen.com/mikeyusatop so they can see my new solo videos. As they find the vids they discover I escort and I offer 100% discretion. So I can get them without really mentioninbg it directly. Most of these guys get rejected all the time so when I am nice to them they open up. Yes, though, I do get rejected but it is in a nice way. Some say, "You are really hot but i dont pay for it." That is common and cool. Every once in a while I get blasted and judged and stereotyped. that is ok..... geting a good new regular client is worth it.

[LookingAround]

I don't meet escorts on Grindr, but I meet plenty of guys who want to hookup, as does my bf. Its our regular "go to" place to hookup.

I used Grindr for a while and they realised and blocked my iphone serial number

I find grindr great at finding less expensive play...

 

I have used grindr all over the world and finding more useful to finding escorts and nonescorts who will escort. By utizlizing the $$ sign instead of the S--they get the idea. When I see a guy out of my league i send a message like "$$$eeking an interesting encounter this evening". I find that now 60% of my hiring comes from grindr and it is usually at about half what public escorts charge BUT obviously more risky because no reviews etc etc. Best responses are in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto.... but I find that Los Angeles and Miami are definately more fakes and flakes so I tend not to use it there--people will talk for a LOOOOONG time and then not hook up--kind of annoying. I am a big supporter of grindr and find it is more efficient that rentboy and rentmen since the guys are actually online and can respond right away and are also close by. Blu

[JulianLondon]

I totally agree Blu, I live in London and have found Grindr very useful. Though there are a lot of fakes and flakes here too. The new app on the block is 'Hornet' and it is far more user friendly than Grindr and at this stage has predominantly genuine users. I think apps are the way it's all going as long as they don't become too censored. The number of genuine models also who'll meet for £/$ is surprisingly large.

I haven't found Grindr at all useful for escorting myself. I dithered around with it once or twice, but I haven't had anyone approach me in regard to hiring. Must be more common in larger cities, hell...many of these Grindr guys are barely out the closet let alone pay for something.

 

To me, Grindr is not even that good for free stuff either. I walked in a bar the other night and met someone in literally 20 seconds. I heard even bathhomes are quicker than Grindr
