Email, Text, Call- which method is preferred for contact

[Cee Jay]

For my first post- Forgive me if the question has been asked/answered but for the Escorts, what is your preferred method of communication for the first interaction?

 

As a shy guy- I'm inclined to email but many times those seem to go unanswered so I'm looking for some guidance. Thanks!

Any method but if this is the first time I reach you (client or escort) let's talk for just a couple of minutes?

 

A local escort once told me some would-be-clients refused to talk on the phone: "I hate talking on the phone", "I don't even talk with my family, we only text each other"... many of them have said to him. I can't imagine dealing with queens like that in person, the phone call test never fails.

Thank you so much for your reply

Depends on the escort. They all have individual preferences.

[seaboy4hire]

For me I prefer text and email. If I am out in public I don't like talking shop where others can hear. IF a client asks for a phone convo I try to set one up where I will be at home and not in the ear shot of friends or strangers.

If it's someone you've never met before, wouldn't you rather talk for a couple of minutes to see his reactions to your questions instead of endless texting?

If I am in public I will not talk shop. I will ask them to call back at a certain time. I don't think my straight friends or stranger on the bus or EL need to hear abt any sexy time talk. If the client can't abide by my wishes to call back when I am not in ear shot of strangers or text me then it's his loss. In short do not call me out of the blue.

I'm aware that the bus/metro is not a good place to talk, but what if you're just walking on the street? Isn't that a place for a phone call? Do you have to be home to feel comfortable to talk on the phone?

[seaboy4hire]

I won't hire an escort or a masseur without a phone conversation. I need to hear his voice, tone, inflection, etc., before I make a decision. Pictures and text aren't enough.

 

And that is why I have a video fully clothed of me doing a lil intro on my RM page.

I don't mean to be rude but are you really that thick or slow?

I almost never hire without a quick call first in order to gauge attitude and compatability. (Voice counts too -- some are very sexy, some are total turn-offs). But, I always start with a text first with when and where, and, if he's interested and available, suggest a call at a mutually agreed time to we can both be somewhere we're comfortable. On my end, I'd never make or take a call to set up a date on the street/bus/wherever. It's kinda disconcerting and kinda rude IMHO.

What is wrong with talking for a couple of minutes instead of exchanging endless text messages?

 

You're rude, and I'm not thick or slow. Don't be rude on here, plenty of reasons to be rude out there with real people if needed.

 

It's a conversation starter and can be utilized as a method for getting a feel for the advertiser. I too request that all phone calls be scheduled. I live in the airport and on airplanes basically. Wifi Texting is acceptable, phone conversations in a cramped metal tube discussing how many guys you want gang-banging you tomorrow night is not.

 

That's a more appropriate way to say it.

 

If you're in the metro/bus, just tell the guy: I'm on the metro/bus, may I call you when I get off in 10 mins? If you're on a plane a phone call is NOT a good idea.

Damn, you're rude and old fashioned requiring a phone call from someone who's not a home. LOL

 

(That was sarcasm in case some of yinz didn't get it)

 

I'm the same way, imagine someone calling himself straight, bi or masculine who sounds like a girl on the phone... not a match.

 

"Hi, I just saw your ad on RM/men4rentnow. I'll be in your town X to X. Are you free to talk for a couple of minutes?"

 

How invasive/aggressive is that?

 

Isn't that better than: "Hi", "What's up", "you big cock", and engaging in endless texting?

it's called getting a feeling, good for you, I don't mind texting everything after... but if we've never met before, let's talk.

[seaboy4hire]

Sorry, a video is not a conversation

 

No it isn't but it's a good start on deciding if the guy is to your liking.

Does anyone remember the time when the only way to contact an escort was the phone? And not even a mobile, but a landline? It was not that long ago, but oh, I suddenly feel so old.

[JamahlBrandon]

My motto is: Call for appointments less than 24 hours away, email for appointments in advance. For obvious reasons.

[+ Eric Hassan]

I prefer to use text messages, but I'm open to whatever works for the guy who wants to hire me. I always have my phone with me and can almost always respond to text messages immediately, so they're a great way to make contact. I don't constantly check my email, so there can be delays in me responding to emails. Phone calls are fine, but I prefer a heads-up that someone wants to talk so I can make myself available - very often, "cold" calls come at inconvenient times (I'm at the gym, with a friend, on the phone with family, running errands, on the bus, on the subway, etc).

 

I can't tell clients what to do, but my suggestion to anyone looking to hire would be to start with an email or text messages to gauge availability, and then request a phone call if things seem good and you'd like to talk on the phone. I also suggest that if you do call without a text/email first, that you practice patience if you don't get the escort on the phone - he may be busy - leave a message or follow up with a text/email! And unblock your number if you call!

This thread is about another question that can have many answers. As restated countless times, there is no standard in this industry.

I think the OP was interested in knowing the escorts preferences. They vary widely from one guy to other. My advice would be read carefuly the escort profile. Very often they explicitely inform their preference

[marylander1940]

text/email as its more convienent for me to answer as I'm not always alone. Phone calls in places like the gym, at school, or around friends isn't the best when your talking about who's going to be the one getting pounded or slurped

 

Then again I have no problems having a phone call prior to meeting. Actually it eases me as it makes it seem your genuine in meeting me. However let's not try to talk about my whole life story and be on the phone for 30 minutes discussing every single sexual question known to man

 

I'm glad you're open to a phone call from a potential client.

 

A 30 mins talk would be the equivalent of hundreds of text messages, in a couple of mins. you can get a feeling and answer questions like: What do you get into? How much do you charge? What are your stats? Where are you located? Can you please text me your address? I'll text you when I'm on my way, etc in just 2 mins.

 

One more thing, if there's people around you when you get a call at the gym you can always step aside, or just say you'll call in 5, 10, 30 mins. If you're on the street and guys just walk by, don't worry they're usually minding their own business.

Absolute agreement Kurtis... however.. if you need someone to sit next to you on an airplane while you discuss gang-banging tomorrow night... just saying

Speaking of which Kurtis, I've done all 3 things mentioned and I am still awaiting a response from you!

don't worry, he'll be texting at the plane and maybe picking up the phone while waiting for his bag, I'm sure guys walking by they'll just follow him and listen to his naughty talk. LOL

 

I always start my calls with "hi my name is Mike. I'm calling about your add on xxx.com, is this a good time to talk?" If it's not I ask them to call me back when it's convenient. If they never call back I figure they saved me the cost of a massage or escort session.

 

Some folks simply don't feel comfortable doing something as edgy as talking over the phone to get a feeling... I've had escorts who told me: "I'm just not comfortable doing that..." (talking over the phone) No problem, we all have our baggage, and I'm sure I have my own, let me hear your voice for a couple of minutes while we talked about: What do you get into? Where are you staying? When do you want to get together?, etc.

 

Isn't flexibility part of the business of escorting?

 

I personally think it's disrespectful for a business man (real or imaginary) to text from a business meeting, but maybe I'm the one who's strange about this...

 

Someone told a local escort: "I feel I'm getting raped when I'm talking over the phone..."

 

I'll move on from this subject and btw I'm not thick and slow at all, I just ask for the escort to talk with me for a couple of minutes so I can get a feeling about it. Unfortunately some escorts don't feel comfortable talking from the street (someone must be stalking them, and everybody pays attention and follows them when they talk...) and only place/receive calls if they're safe at home...

Based on the comments thus far, the consensus is a phone call should come after initial contact via text or email, but read the profile carefully to see if a clue is given to the preferred method. I appreciate all the feedback for this newbie.

Well summarized!!

(and happens to be the approach I ascribe to)

I haven't even begun to look at DFW requests yet.

 

Damn, you're wanted no wonder why!
