What's the criteria for being a coverboy?

[bander355]

I was bored and looking back over the past two or three months "coverboys" and frankly I don't get it. Some are coverboys twice in a month and I'm wondering how. It can't be looks because there are lots better looking guys listed that aren't cover boys.. Only criteria I have seen is that most are listed as gay- only one out of 60 was straight 3 were bi. There is one twink that has a god awful photo that's listed twice in a month as coverboy... I'm just wondering what if anything besides personal choice goes into this selection? Anyone?

The coverboy must have a photo of his face.

 

One possibility for repeats within the same month: no other escort reviewed that day has a face picture.

That's it..Show your Face and your Odds of Cover Guy are considerably better even IF some of the Days Bods are definitely better!

 

"Thank The Gods" over the Year's I have met some Torso Shots Only who had a Face to match!

orientation enter into it?

 

It seems there is a bias against guys that list themselves as straight.. is that true? I know lots of you guys don't like the gay for pay guys but I certainly do lol.

To tell you the truth, I thought it was completely random.

From the review site FAQ's:

The cover picture is chosen from the day's reviews or new pictures. The only real requirement is that we see his eyes. The Coverboy does not represent this site and being selected does not imply an endorsement from this site. We try to select a variety of looks in coverboys. There is no charge for being the coverboy.

 

Note the comment about variety.

You'd be in "SEVENTH HEAVEN" in Buenos Aires, Rio de janeiro, Sao Paulo, Brasil, Barcelona, and Madrid, Spain. There are lots of guys who are bisexual or "Gay-for-Pay." Many who a the latter kiss

and kiss deeply; that is what I like although my first preference is a gay man!

Daddy and I have had quite a few conversations about this. As others has said, the first and biggest requirement is that they show the face. Look at some of the guys who have never been coverboy and you'll see: Rod Hagen, Juan Vancouver, Steven Draker, Dane Scott are all long time, highly regarded escorts and I don't believe any of them have ever been coverboy because they don't show their face. That is the only hard and fast rule.

 

I can tell you Daddy doesn't even look at orientation, so you can forget about that being an issue. But the rest is up to Daddy with several factors weighing in. Has the guy been a coverboy before? I know Daddy likes to help the guys and being coverboy does help in some small way. The quality of the picture -- is it a good representation of the face or some sort of fuzzy, out of focus, weird-angle, shot. One guy I know had a couple of shots that showed the face but weren't really great face shots. Daddy and I discussed it, the guy sent in a much better face shot, and he got coverboy because the others weren't good enough. And the rest is merely editorial judgment of Daddy. He doesn't play favorites with escorts. He doesn't play favorites with reviewers or forum members. He'll certainly provide feedback to guys who want to ask "is this photo good enough to be considered for coverboy". And one thing about Daddy: he'll tell you the truth as he sees it.

 

With Daddy, it's all about what looks best. Orientation doesn't play a factor. At all.

Thanks for posting. It was interesting to read, although little that I did not already know from reading the daily escort reviews.
