Testing the waters

[Mezron]

I'm looking to hire an escort for the first time. I'm just looking to meet and hang out with; snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. Would that matter at all to an escort when talking about the price or is it strictly a matter of paying for their time regardless of how it's spent? Any advice on how to determine a good match in a companion?

Mezron, welcome to the board!

 

There has been some discussion about that subjects on this board. Here are a few threads on the topic:

http://www.companyofmen.org/showthread.php?87231-Social-vs-Full-Service-rates&highlight=social+rate

 

The bottom line is that it differs from escort to escort; some have a "social rate" while others charge the same for their time no matter what the client wants to do.

Welcome to the Forum, Mezron.

 

The answer to your pricing question varies. Some guys offer different prices for different activities, while others charge the same rate regardless of how their time is spent. A couple of suggestions for how to get the most out of this site and from the encounter with the escort:

 

 

1. When asking for information in the forum, it is a good idea to indicate where in the world you plan to meet the escort. A recommendation for a guy who lives in LA doesn't do you much good if you want to hook up in Philadelphia.
   
2. Do some research on the escorts available in your desired city of hire. It will give you an idea about what rates are like and, of course, who is available,
   
3. Avoid flying a guy you don't know into your locale. If you see a guy who does not live near you, consider taking a little trip to see him.
   
4. Likewise, avoid an overnight for your first time.
   
5. Be open and honest when communicating with the escort. Tell him exactly what you told us here in your post. (Aside from the part about the price. See below for more information on that topic.)
   
6. Have an idea of what kind of guy you find attractive. If you like tall, slender, dark-haired guys a blonde bodybuilder is probably not going to be your ideal match.
   
7. Avoid discussing price when you first communicate with the escort. This is how I handle inquiries about price (even when a rate is stated in the ad)
   
   • State what you are looking for
     
   • If he appears to be a good fit, ask something like "can you confirm the price for a session?"
     
   • Determine whether the price is what you want to pay. If not, don't try to negotiate. Instead, just say something like "That's a little more than my budget. Thank you for taking the time to chat." There are other guys out there and someone is bound to deliver what you want for a price you are willing to pay, within reason. If you want to pay $50 for an evening snuggling on the couch, you are probably not likely to find anyone. On the other hand, the guy might give you a break for doing nothing more than snuggling. Case in point: I mentioned to an escort that I wanted to get into oral and muscle worship. His rate was much more than I wanted to pay. He told me that he would be willing to do a shorter session for a reduced rate. I went for it and was glad I did. However, I would not have asked him to do that.
     
   • I always confirm the price, even when stated in the ad, because a guy might have changed his pricing or we might hook up for more than one hour and he might offer a discount for more than one hour. When a guy balks, I laugh and say something like "the ATM asks me to enter an amount and I need to know what to key in"
     

 

[*]Remember that your session is about you. You need to treat the guy you hire with dignity and respect, but the objective is to make you happy.

 

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

For what you are looking for, wouldn't a Golden Retriever be just fine? Perhaps you could offer to dog-sit for a friend. They'd get a night out with no worries and you'd have your cuddle. Sounds like a win-win to me (and a lot less $$). If you found that you liked this solution, you might even go into business and offer dog-sitting professionally. No boring conversation, no asking about your astrological sign, not likely to catch some sort of nasty disease. Let's create a profile for you - youngish man looking to dog-sit for busy executive who needs time away from Fido. Must be ddf, negative (with papers to prove it). Perhaps no fats, femmes, republicans, etc.

One man's hilariously sarcastic sense of humor is just another's Shitty Snark.

 

Why wouldn't you try to be encouraging to a Newbie on his first post rather than making him the butt of your practical albeit shitty snark? GEEZ! Save the one-ups-manship for one who has thousands of posts and knows your reputation.

Welcome to the forum. I'm glad you're here. You've gotten some good advice from these posters. Use it and read other threads, too. There's another guy about to have his first hire who has had some interesting threads going.

 

To paraphrase the sign outside my home town '8,000 friendly guys and 2 or 3 old grouches welcome you to our playpen.'

I actually would like to rent a pet. Are there such places?

 

Mezron, what you pay is for time only. So I'm sure the escort won't have any problem as long as you pay him in full.

Geez, instudio, you cut me to the quick. Really, I don't think I was being all that sarcastic. Certainly didn't mean to give offense to you or anyone else. And then too, I can't believe that I have any sort of reputation - I barely come here to write anymore.

 

On the other hand, I've read so much of the other thread with it's wide-eyed gee whiz kind of writing about sooooo looking forward to the first hire and all the accompanying hand-wringing. It sounded like the guy was preparing for some trek to a remote outpost where his life might actually be in danger. For goodness sake, it's just sex. Relax and don't take it so seriously.

 

Mezron, welcome to the forum and good luck with whatever you decide, but don't build up your expectations too much - we're talking about human beings here, not gods, and we all have our limitations. Anyway, sometimes a Golden Retriever isn't that bad an option. I've always kinda liked that prayerful statement, "Dear God, help me to be the man my dog thinks I am." As far as affirmation goes, the retriever might actually be a better choice. (Now I guess that was kinda snarky)

Mezron, welcome.

 

My answer to your question is "time is time" and an escort charges for his time regardless of the activity taking place with that time. As determining a good match check through the reviews here on daddysreviews.com and also check out the different escort ads. I wouldn't suggest meeting an escort before talking to them first by phone as I feel this is the best way to gauge if the escort is serious enough since e-mail doesn't really convey a persons emotions as well. If you'd like to talk or any more input feel free to message me privately or give me a call.

Lots of rescue places need people who will foster dogs. Think of it as a free of charge rental for an undisclosed period of time and you might just save that dog's life.

Well, there's a service in which you volunteer to dogsit for someone:

A few pet rental services have cropped up, but the authorities always ban them because they are considered cruel to the animals.
