Who is the most popular gay escort in America (by number of clients)?

[+ Chris Eisenhower]

Hey Mickey,

I wish you would get some professional pictures. Ones that are only taken with one's own cell phone do not IMHO show anyone to their best advantage. I commented on this before in another post, but since you highlighted your link with a comment about all new photos, I just had to comment again. See also the comments with regard to Amir in the other post. But, I digress, I agree that there are at least two categories of escorts, as was mentioned above. Those guys who specialize in multi-day or even multi-week jobs are certainly very popular and must provide an excellent service. I think that David, now PS, has made a fine living as a traveling companion and has stellar reviews. But as has been said, many of the relatively younger guys are making a very good living with shorter engagements, so I also agree that there is more value in quality than quantity !

Diverdan. My name is ,"Mikey," not ,"Mickey." Mickey is the mouse in Orlando and I am the stud that the guys in orlando call to take care of them at the resort after they have seen Mickey. If u r going to criticize me then at least KNOW MY NAME. My pics are in fact, "new," as I said. For me and my biz my pics work GREAT and my new clients appreciate them. I suppose if business were slow or bad I would again do a pro shoot but lately I have been able to be very selective of my clientele. So, again, my new pics are also @ http://www.rentmen.com/mikeyusatop and yes, HORRORS, they are self cell phone shots

My apologies, Mikey for misspelling your name... no insult was intended, and I am aware of the mouse in Orlando, having spent more time in meetings there than I care to remember. I am happy that your business is doing so well without pro shots, but IMHO photos taken by a pro or a friend that are not self shot cell phone photos usually give a better and more accurate impression of the subject.

Hey Mikey, My apologies about the miss-spelling... no insult was intended, and I do know about the mouse in Orlando, having spent more time there in meetings than I care to remember. I am also happy for you that your business is going so well and that you are able to be very selective of your clients. But, IMHO, pictures taken by a pro or a friend with a camera can usually show the subject in a better way than with a self shot cell phone camera.

Mikey appears to be a real down to earth type of guy and I personally find his pictures very sexy and alluring. I find many of the professional pictures gorgeous but too nice. I prefer photos of the way the guy is truly going to look when we get together

I prefer cell phone pics over the professional ones. The pro pics usually look altered; more than just the effects of good lighting.

I agree on both sides. A professional picture has it's merits but with an amateur camera/phone you sometime capture that moment that allows more personal creativity as opposed to a professional photo that more often looks forced and just doesn't come off as sexy or real IMO.

[Michael Wayne]

thank you Boston Bill, Miami looker and jaker 27!!! Thanks also to Diverdan for clarifying..... Over the years I have had both type of pics and I have worked with more pro photographers than I can recall. Right now the self cell phone shots work better for whatever reasons. I want my ads to convey this thought, "Mikey is REAL, he is TOUCHABLE, he doesnt have a bad attitude and he has TIME for YOU!"

Personally I lean toward the cell phone pics. They seem more natural, and I can get a better idea of what I can expect when the door opens. More often than not, the escort looks far better in person and it is a nice surprise. Better than seeing professional pics with perfect lighting and back ground, only to meet the escort for dinner and sit there wondering what the hell you missed in those pics that he posted. I have not met Mikey, but I would bet my last dollar that what you see is what you get. No BS from that man. He is the real deal. AND AND AND, personally I always liked the cock picture next to the can of soda. It would crack me up, because you just knew that it was a clear representation, no bull-shit. Instead of guys making false claims, you could see what treat you were in for. IMHO of course.....

 

When JLA opened the door, I remember saying, "Damn, that man is fine"...I asked why he didn't go professional on his pics, and he said that he preferred the natural look. Each to his own, but I for one appreciate the honesty in posting accurate pics.

My problem with the cell phone pics is that first, it seems like the ones of guys you try to hook up with on Grindr, A4A, or MH. Nothing special, nothing professional. Just a run of the mill hookup. Something I can get for free. It tells me lack of professionalism. It tells me they try to operate on the cheap instead of taking the time and effort to hire a professional photographer. If they are professional escorts, that is what I'm expecting. Professional presentation.

 

I'm sure that isn't the message you want to be conveying. And obviously this is only to me. But that is the message I receive. And I'm certain I couldn't be the only guy receiving that message. So maybe it might be best to have a mix in your ads? To allay the fears of guys like me but still give the immediacy to those who like the cell phone shots. Any reason that you can't do both?
