He's had a couple of mildly crappy reviews, but I'm entranced . . .

Guy I'm very interested in seeing --

• Hotter than hell
  
• Just my type
  
• Ad blurb is well-written, increases my interest.
  

Guy has one review here where the reviewer called the meeting "disappointing" guy wrote a response that was receptive, not hostile. He also has 3 reviews on RM, 2 5-star, 1 3-star, tho the 3-star says his pics were accurate.

 

Long buildup to question --

• Escorts -- if a potential client were to ask about a negative review/reviews, would you/do you think most of your colleagues would feel defensive, think the potential client was an asshole, or respond in a positive manner.
  
• Clients -- ever raised the issue? What happened?
  

More curious than anything else -- I think I'm going to ask for a brief call to try to get a sense of him but not raise the negative feedback.

 

Thoughts (besides the observation that I'm feeling especially bullet-pointy today)?

Escorts -- if a potential client were to ask about a negative review/reviews, would you/do you think most of your colleagues would feel defensive, think the potential client was an asshole, or respond in a positive manner.

 

Well, you know that every human being is different and we will all respond to everything differently. This is harshly exemplified by a thread in which one of us reacts violently to pleasantries. So, regardless of how I would respond to this, he might respond in an entirely different way.

 

If someone opened by asking about a negative review I would be polite and honest. It would perhaps make me think the prospective client tends to focus on the negative rather than the positive. I would have hesitations to meet. I prefer not to put myself in that kind of situation.

 

If someone opened by commenting on my reviews and ad and pictures and after a little chat asked me about the negative review, I would be polite, honest and as fair as I humanly can. To me, this would sound like a man who likes to see both sides and be informed before making choices. This sounds to me like a n ideal client. I would love to meet with him.

 

My thoughts? If you can afford it and he really, really is your type and there is no incontestable proof that he is a total asshole, call him, try to determine whether there is chemistry and if you feel like it, but the goddamned bullet.

 

Report back. Review. Rinse (or not, this depends on how piggy you are) and hopefully Repeat.

 

Good luck!

humm im curious now on the guy. i think i need to see his ad to fully provide an accurate answer

[down_to_business]

raised the issue: yes

 

the results: varied by escort -- anywhere from : deny to attack the reviewer to offer a calm plausible explanation (their side of the story) to tell me to fuck off for asking

 

analysis: MIXED -- when hired despite the "warning" some worked out fine, others I experienced the same behavior as the warning

 

lesson learned: proceed with caution... sometimes how they respond will tell you more about them than what they actually say. If you hire, despite the warnings, put it in the back of your mind, but don't completely dismiss it (i.e. a warning about theft turned out to be 100% accurate when the accused escort stole from me too). But bringing up a controversial review, can start you off with open and honest communication as well, that can lead to a faster and earlier connection being established between you and your escort.

[rvwnsd]

Without seeing the reviews and ad in question it is hard to answer this. However, I agree with Juan - this will require some finesse. If this was me I would assess the review and try to determine why the meet went the way it did and think about what I might do/say/want to do differently that could yield a better experience. If I still wanted to meet and wanted to ask about the review, I would not make that the opening point of my inquiry.

 

That being said, I would not ask about the bad reviews. Reviews capture one person's impression of what occurred during a meet-up. What turns me on might disgust someone else. What I find silly might strike someone else as charming. You could attempt to find the reviewer on the Forum and start a conversation with him.

Best course of action IMHO.

I suppose I'll need to make it an in-call then.

[stop]

I have reached out to the reviewer and asked them. once the reviewer was so wacko in his response I felt that it was probably not the pros fault... I hired the pro and had a great time

[gallahadesquire]

Sigh. And yet, the mystery continues: Who is this "Pro?"

[klifhangar]

My very first attempt was with a big name dude. I watched a video in which he said that he prefers when clients clarify, ask questions, state what they want etc. I also read a review that said that, although he adverts "BFE", he walked in, said "no touching" and was just cold.

 

I approached him much as Juan described, talked about positives, then asked about the negative review. He flipped out and said that my insecurity said more about me than about him. Uhm, I'm not insecure. I calmly explained that I was acting on his expressed preference for open communication. He calmed down, said he would call me the next day and never called.

 

Now that I see him in films, I can see that he comes of like an arrogant asshole so I'm glad we didn't get together. Plus honestly - not even hot. What was I thinking?

@WhamIAm Did you ever meet the mystery man?

 

I've never asked an escort about negative reviews prior to meeting, but don't see why it would be a taboo subject. A reasonable escort might appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight. The topic has come up a few times with my regular guys, sometimes just during conversation or to thank me for a positive review. Escorts are all aware of the reviews and that they serve a purpose.

 

Go boldly forth, ask your questions, and conquer (or be conquered if that's your thing).

[+ WhamIAm]

Hey, all -

 

Didn't get to see him. Our schedules didn't mesh. Didn't ask about the reviews b/c he seemed like a really nice, really cool guy.

 

His name is Jack Giles. On my cell so I can't post his RM link, but I will once I get to a big boy keyboard.

 

Will defo try to seal the deal next time we're in the same place at the same time. If anyone beats me to him, pls report back!

Hmm....I'd bang that. TOTALLY.

[MasterMaxRR]

Eh, just go for it. A couple "mildly" bad reviews is likely to be a fabrication on the clients part, but at the same time, go in with open eyes.

[BryanKnight]

It is perfectly reasonable, and telling, to ask about a negative review.

"Hey, I noticed you had a negative review among your (presumably) positive ones. What happened?"

 

I've had one. Daddy here on the forums was great at coaching me how to respond to it like a professional..

I've attracted more new visitors by how I answered their concerns about that session gone wrong than had I denied responsibility.

 

Beyond that, pressing the person for more intimate details of the faux paux before meeting them is not recommended.

Gods! That hard and hairy body, that suckable cock, that very masculine face..... If he offers the services you require, go for it. If he were in So Cal.........yum!
