Scheduling issue query

[Mikegaite]

How do I respond to the following email from a client, which I've paraphrased below (the client knows I'm posting this btw before you all crucify me):

 

"You fly into town on Saturday. I can't meet on Sunday. i don't want to meet you Monday or Tuesday because I don't want you to be tired from seeing a lot of other clients. But I don't want to meet you on Saturday because you will be tired from traveling. So I guess we can't meet."

 

I woke up to someone telling me to quit the forum, someone getting mad at me for posting on the forum instead of returning his email, someone telling me he no-showed yesterday because he ran out of money six months ago, and someone telling me I prey upon the hopes and dreams of dying men. This, I'm not really in the mood to argue with the client in the paragraph above and am hoping others will chime in.

Why did he ever write to you? Sounds like an unrequested apology. I simply don't get it. Are we missing some background?

 

We clients can be so weird sometimes.....

[mike carey]

'Thank you for your enquiry. I'd be happy to meet you any time after I arrive on Saturday. Let me know what you would like to do if we were to meet.'

 

You don't need to respond to that sort of crap. I can see no reason why you need to respond to anyone here. If someone is respectful, respond, if not commenting in the forum is more useful than responding to a troll.

"Thank you for thinking of me."

@Mikegaite , my man, this is precisely the price of fame. I know you are more than capable to handle it. So, I'm starting to think you are posting this type of stuff to entertain yourself and us. If the latter, thank you as it makes for hysterical reading.

 

If you are totally needing help with this one (lol, can't believe you would):

[insert @AdamSmith 's recommendation]

 

Brand is always on the line, so keep it squeaky clean. Worst thing you can do for yourself is air your humanity to an open forum...well...worse thing you could to your brand would be share paranoid client stalker stories, but I digress.

My response to the client in question:

1. I have met Mike Gaite after he began his travels at 5am. No issue with him being to tired to have a stellar appointment.
   
2. I have met Mike Gaite after I assume he has met other clients. I of course am not sure bc it was none of my business. But I am sure that my appointments with him were once again stellar.
   
3. If I don't want Mike to meet other people before our scheduled time together then I make arrangements with him to secure his time for the whole day. Which I have done.
   
4. If his availability and my schedule don't match, I politely say "drats" and inquire what his future schedule is like and pull out my pocket calendar.
   

I know for a fact that @Mikegaite goes above and beyond to accommodate many clients including me. I probably have shown more of my cards than I care to with this post, but come on. "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't"

[+ quoththeraven]

My perspective is a little different. I'd say, "Thank you for your interest. I schedule appointments so as to ensure I will be able to give my full attention and efforts to everyone. However, if that's not enough to reassure you, then perhaps I am not the right choice for you."

 

Also, the other aspects of your post will be my Exhibit A the next time some schmoe asks why escorts stop engaging with the message forum.

Keep smiling, Mike. Your positive attitude will get you through a rough patch. These forum bring out interest facets of we humans...

[+ glennnn]

I hope you feel the huge respect and support you've earned here and just put those messages down as an annoyance. You belong here. The downside of success is attracting jealousy and envy.

[+ Keith30309]

I'd echo Glennnn's comments and add that even the most highly respected doctors run across bitchy, lunny patients. As TrueR said, you're a class act and it bears no reflection on you.

[nynakedtop]

How about also foregrounding some of the NICE exchanges you have had with people (I can think of at least one) you have had or are having as a result of this forum-space?

 

I, for one, think you are just awesome and would always expect everyone to treat you as such. (Am I foolish to expect that?)

[Kevin Slater]

Not worthy of a response.

I sometimes forget how much mental BS you guys have to deal with. We clients sometimes start thinking that because money is exchanged we can treat an escort any damn way we please. Keep your head up Mike. You're doing your best I'm sure. And go get some ice cream. Doesn't matter if I'm 12 or 80. It always cheers ME up.

SWIPE LEFT, BABY..... too much drama with All that shit !

[sincitymix]

First thing that came into my mind was "What would Dear Abby and Mrs. Manners say", and pretty much what QTR said. Id keep it simple and classy.. and then forget the person exists

[+ quoththeraven]

... and then forget the person exists

 

ROFL. That about sums it up!

 

Why the email was sent in the first place baffles me, but sometimes it's useful to set the record straight (so to speak) even though intellectually speaking it doesn't deserve a response.

[Nvr2Thick]

Preying on the hopes and dreams of dying men is bad. You should stop doing that.

[AdamSmith]

Anybody with sales as part of the job preys on the hopes and dreams of dying men (and women).

 

I did some of that myself this morning. Fairly profitably!

[MikeyGMin]

why is this an issue, you seem to be getting tons of clients obviously why should what one client says bother you.

You've been escorting far too long for anything to get under your skin

 

He's a very kind and sweet guy though. If I woke up to ALL that crap in one day...it would make me wonder WTF was going on also.

[MikeyGMin]

I mean most of us are kind and sweet on here. No one deserves that behavior. I mean we all have struggles. I moved out from my parents when I was 17, my sister hated me bc I was gay so she made me life miserable that I had to leave. I don't talk with my dad he thinks I'm an embarrassment, i don't talk to my mom. I was homeless twice for months, I've been told to kill myself, that I was ugly, fat, stupid for years from my own family. I was abused psychically. I've been called every horrible name in the book by clients, Ive been called to meet a client and stood up in the freezing weather or pouring rain many times, i mean its all part of the job, its not right but theres that chance taking the job. Mike is 10 plus years older than me, I was just trying to say since he's been in the business a long time he's probably heard this all before and probably far worse so he shouldn't let the stupid things that others say affect him bc theirs far worse things that people are dealing with.

 

I understand and didn't word that very well. I wasn't trying to say he is any sweeter than any others...just that I can understand why it would bother him. I'm very sorry to hear that you've had it so rough in your young life. (I was going to "like" your post, but that seemed like an odd thing to do for that particular one.)

How do I respond...etc.

Hey Mike. Those of us lucky enough to have met you know what an excellent escort AND fine man you are! Haters gonna hate. Anybody reading this forum regularly knows how much certain posters enjoy demonizing this or that escort, who, for whatever reason, may enjoy sharing his thoughts with us here. Unfortunately, I have personally met a number of especially fine escorts who have told me that they quit posting here because of the often cruel feedback they got from a few negative minded hate-mongers. I personally hope you will dismiss such ridiculous accusations as preying "upon the hopes and dreams of dying men" and continue contributing your opinions, inquiries and thoughts with our community!

I'm still confused & lost you all. Help me interpret the quotes directly above.

 

It seems to me no client in their right mind would agree to have their (paraphrased) email used as forum fodder and used as an example to gather feedback & to respond. Is this the client's kink? He likes to be put in his place by a bunch of strangers so that he can be properly chastised later?

 

This such a no-brainer, I honestly thought it was a joke! What am I missing?

Mike can be a scamp sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's serious, joking, or a bit of both. It's even harder to tell if he only posts once on a particular post.

I can tell you I've had some working guys ask if they can post certain things about whatever conversation/incident we've had. I've also asked some of these guys whether it was ok to post stuff, i.e. me making Mr. Baldwin cry. So it's not out of the realm of possibility after a frustrating day that Mr. Gaite needed to just vent or hear another opinion to verify what he may thinking about doing is a positive or negative idea. And yes, maybe he's pulling our leg, but I don't think he is.

 

As to his initial post, maybe the client he refers to is someone he sees often. Someone he has gained a bit of trust in or an emotional connection, he just doesn't want to brush off. So Mike I say be polite about it. In a more eloquent manner say, "Thank you. I can ensure that our time together will be just as energetic and engaging as our previous times. If whatever reason you choose not to meet me this go around, I look forward to seeing you next time."

 

Of course if you could give a rat's ass about seeing this guy again... tell him to take a flying leap.

Very helpful perspective, BnT. Thank you! I still hope it is a joke & a good way to rally the forum troops to write 2-4 pages worth of forum responses .
