GRINDR & escorts?

[MiamiLooker]

Should top tier escorts be concerned that some guys that hire are finding alternative means of locating prospective hires other than from the established escort websites? Or, is it just those escorts on the lower rungs that should be concerned about the competition?

Interesting post. Mikey9nola touched on this very thought in his post regarding "Craigslist" While I have always said, that while I am not a visitor to CL, BP or grindr, I have numerous friends who have found these sites to be a better alternative to the traditional escorts sites. Are there pitfalls.... absolutely, but there are pitfalls on the traditional sites as well, and they will be quick to tell you that they find these new sites more rewarding. I think many guys are finding alternative ways to hookup. I still hire escorts occasionally, but more and more, my hookups are coming from places like Swinging Richards and The Boardwalk in FTL. I most definitely see a trend, and interestingly enough, the trend seems to be from my younger and older friends as well. How this trend affects top tier escorts, or escorts at any level, I can't really say, but I have seen a shift.

Make that Because, I am old (and can't type for shit).....

 

And have been out of the dating game forever and never was in the hookup one, I had zero knowledge of Grinder. None.

 

But that all changed during one of my outings because apparently everyone there but me has it. So, they showed me how it works. It's like a GPS for gay men. There's one 10 miles away. There's one two miles away, etc.

 

And that night there was one 20 feet away. Then 10, then two......

 

I was like, "Chris, it's the waiter."

 

Who was very interested in our table.

 

Later, back in the room, in the thick of things, as all orifices were being... um.... filled, I actually asked, "This good enough? Should we call the waiter?"

 

The answer was a rather muffled no.

 

Okie

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are, that's FUNNY!

for once I agree with you on something

[Steven_Draker]

didn't you guys bragged about it?

 

I've got the same impression that someone was bragging ...

 

highest I paid was $150 and lowest was $120 and they were prolly my best escort experiences ever! All the guys are very muscular 20-22 and 2 have absolutely huge ones!

 

So in my mind paying $100 to have a better time gets me more satisfied then I've ever been! Plus I'm able to hire now once a week and am currently making plans to have all 3 at once!

two good points but in this game theres more than enough sex drive to keep all boys busy

Pragmatism in its highest example

 

Sounds like Chgo28bttm has found some really hot opportunists on Grindr and experienced the same satisfying results (or maybe even a lot better) as he would have had from hiring an escort from Rentboy but at a much better price. I’m happy that he’s able to think outside the box; kind of refreshing to find on this site.

 

 

 

Well said. Pragmatism in its highest example, thanks.

[Chgo28bttm]

I would say yes they should be!

And that is why certain ones will bring up the fact of "breaking the rules"....prolly because they're scared it will take business away from them. Just my opinion

I can't speak on behalf of the top tier escorts and I have already said this in a different thread but I for one am very excited by the fact that the bargain hunters have a large pond from which to fish. I sincerely hope they will find the elusive diamond in the rough as many times as they look for it. The more satisfied they are the fewer times I will be contacted by a client asking me what's my best offer or what are my midday specials.

 

I know bargain hunters will always be more satisfied with cheap. I know quality hunters will be more satisfied with a fulfilling experience.

 

There's room for everything in this world.

 

I don't deal in quantity. I much rather be contacted only by people who are looking for quality and are appreciative of it.

 

As for competition, I hardly think high quality escorts can compete with one another since they provide such intrinsically different services; all unique, all different, all great in their own way. Now high quality escorts being in competition with diamonds in the rough? It would be like trying to decide what's better, a chocolate chip cookie or a black forest cake. Not better or worse. Just different. You can't make them compete.

I think I could live with myself and the consequences if my worst crime was to violate Grindr or craigslists terms of service.

 

The nice thing about Grindr and escorts was it was a useful tool for when you wanted something last minute and right away. Sometimes the escort ads were obvious because they used the terminology in their profile or they used a picture from their escort ad. Sometimes the escort was on and just looking for a hookup for himself, not escorting. I always found being vague, polite and taking no for an answer, never forcing it or being a pest, went a long way.

 

I stand by my assertion that quality does not necessarily rise with price. And I also think its a good thing if it gives clients looking for value an opportunity to find something without wasting the high priced escorts time. Of course eliminating the ask me's and varies and negotiables and blanks in all "professional" rent ads would go a long way in eliminating this as well. Just imagine if the price listed was the actual price for every single ad and everyone knew that because that was just the way it was- a lot of mutual wasted time would be saved.

 

Of course I deleted Grindr over a year ago, so what the heck do I know!

Thanks for the laugh, Chgo28bttm. Funny your argument about fearing the "competition".

Grindr is not a competition. Juan summed it up pretty well, saying it better than I could ever say it myself.

 

I know bargain hunters will always be more satisfied with cheap. I know quality hunters will be more satisfied with a fulfilling experience.

 

There's room for everything [and everyone, I would add] in this world.

 

Enjoy your fantasy with the "very muscular 20-22 with absolutely huge ones".

And write those reviews !

[MrMiniver]

I've met a few escorts on Grindr. All have been flakes.

You don't need an iPhone to be on Grindr.

I appreciate the original poster but it would have been a far better post if he had said EXACTLY how he worded his profile, etc. so that he could have been of more helpful to the group here.

Just my two cents.

[MrMiniver]

1. How about cheap and quality?

2. Getting banned from Grindr would not exactly make my list of the top 5,000 things to ever happen to me.

LOL you were correct. Who would have thought that just because you've been enjoying great experiences with your Grindr hires, you're not really getting quality service? You’re just the client, so what do you know about quality service, anyway? You need to stop enjoying yourself and start paying more to really get quality service.

See post 17 where he states: "I know this is playing with fire but my add simply says N$A and that I'm a very giving person."

 

I've not used Grindr but I have used Craigslist and met some really fantastic guys. It seems to me the ones that complain about not being successful on CL just don't know how to use it.

[BigK]

What crawled up Draker's butt and died?

[bomerrang]

What we are seeing is that certain escorts here want us to use traditional means (Daddys / RentBoy) to acquire them.

 

Some get their panties in a twist when we seek alternative ways to link-up, just like the taxi drivers are having fits over car sharing services like Uber & Lyft.

 

Do think outside the box, and don't believe that all Grindr and CL advertisers are opportunists and sketchy as all hell.

[+ FreshFluff]

this is interesting, almost every second ad I see on grindr NYC mentions "420" friendly, so much for drugs being banned>

 

420 friendly can also mean they want to bring their own mary j. Unless they're explicitly soliciting drugs, they're not doing anything illegal until they actually buy, possess, or use.

[twinkboylover28]

Even signing up for Grindr, you're certifying you're over 18.

 

Entrapment might be a defense - but at the same time, the conversation with the undercover seems to have been explicit with the guy basically saying he wanted a sexual encounter and want to contribute to the delinquency of a minor...

 

I use to think that was true as well, and you would be protected, as everyone has to click the "X" that says you're over 18-years-old and verifies you are an adult. Even the profile says they are 18-years-old. So why would cops even bother to troll the site if everyone is an adult and the profile say they're 18 ,and they clicked the "X" when they signed up stating they are an 18-year-old adult?

 

I recently had this experience on the website Adam4Adam. I was fortunate to find out I was talking to an undercover before it progressed any further than it already did. I'm guessing the entrapment defense is worthless on those sites.

 

You would be amazed how detailed and legit an undercover's fake Facebook and Instagram profiles can look so real, complete with 4-year fake history.. Thank God I was smart enough to figure it out

 

..but in my opinion I shouldn't have to worry about that on an ADULT site like Adam4Adam, as i was looking for fun with legal adults 18+. They have time to masquerade as 17-year-olds,, but they can't put murderers in jail. Go figure? Election year?

How did you find out?

Certainly seems that way. It also strikes me as ironic (hilarious even?) that international escorts can have such morality issues.

Your summation is spot on...

You have a point... I just hope would-be-clients don't misrepresent themselves on grindr and when the amateur-escort/starving-student shows up later the would-be-client didn't age 20 years and increased his size by 40 lbs in just 40 mins...

 

Escorting is not for everybody, you need to have stomach to do it... Some folks might try and give up.

 

Btw, we all have the right to our opinions but not to our own facts. To this moment only 2 escorts have made comments on here, Juan welcomed grindr not to be bothered by "cheap guys" and Steven Draker who warned about having your account and possibly your iphone blocked... There's no rush of escorts "twisting their panties", maybe that's only in your imagination.

How did "he" reveal that "he" was 17?

Is that your best argument on the subject?

 

Last time I checked personal attacks against members were not allowed in this Forum.

 

You logical fallacy is: ad hominem

 

You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument.

 

Ad hominem attacks can take the form of overtly attacking somebody, or more subtly casting doubt on their character or personal attributes as a way to discredit their argument. The result of an ad hom attack can be to undermine someone's case without actually having to engage with it.
