Escort on my flight right now

[MikeyGMin]

Unfortunately, it's hard to get that image of terror out of your head. I've never re-hired an escort who has responded that way. It's not entirely fair...but that's life.

 

I have to agree with you on that one. I would never expect more than a nod and smile, but wouldn't be able to get past a look of terror and a bolt in the other direction. Or even one of those "I don't see you" moves.

 

And Boomer... don't you start with me. I mean that about him too! :)

I would certainly at least say hi to an escort that I had hired. I don't care that much what other people think, but what, really, is so strange about two men who know each other saying hi and chatting for a minute? Nobody knows how you know each other, and it isn't any of their business any way.

Agreed. That said I did hook up with somebody in the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at JFK a couple of years ago. I had read that lots of people had been breaking their baby changing tables while having sex on them, and as a result they had strengthened the tables (rather than discouraging 'improper use'). This turned out to be true, though we didn't actually use the thing (which is presumably crawling with unpleasant bacteria).

 

HaHa

Virgin Atlantic. LOL.

If I was Global Services or Concierge Key, that'd be another thing. Airline Club Lounges are where its at anyways.

 

an escort I see has ck status. he's told me its come in handy for a number of sticky situations

It would be illegal and risky too.

 

 

Speaking of risky behavior aboard an aircraft, check out what happened to this guy four days ago merely because he interrupted a safety announcement in order to compliment the good looking flight attendant making the announcement.

 

Many of us who fly often have come to learn that while on an aircraft, the rules of behavior are what the airline crew want the rules to be. That is, until you exit the aircraft.

Of course, this sort of thing does not happen on all flights.

 

Most flight crews are great. however, a few crews are not so great.

 

The article is just an eye opener reminder to realize that on a flight, the crew is the law, no doubt about it.

Interesting... specially considering the fame of flight attendants in the locker room culture and whether is real or not. I guess she didn't like the "compliment" and I'm glad she had him removed from the plane.

 

@coriolis888 here's the full posting about it on facebook (barely visible in your link) it was more than just saying: "oh sexy..."

I was once on a flight from Amsterdam to Florence sitting across from an escort I recognized from his ads and his older companion. They were all lovey-dovey. Fast forward a week. Return flight and there they were again on my flight. The escort was decked out in Italian designer duds and had many shopping bags. They were again across from me and sat as far apart as you can in a pair of seats. Older dudes's body language said "get this over with, now."

Amazing to me any person would approach an escort in public. It shows a lack of understanding about the business and the personal implications. Has personal discretion become that difficult to give or understand?

I have seen several escorts in public here in DC. A few have been guys I'd hired previously or did so subsequently later.

 

In a couple of instances it was clear they were with clients who had political backgrounds. Those Congressional lapel pins are obvious. Ive also run into guys I've hired and we've exchanged nods buts that's the extent of any public greetings. Discretion is paramount for all parties in these situations.

 

DC is a small company town in a lot of instances. Though not an escort situation, here's an example. I met a guy on a Saturday night clubbing at Tracks. (That was a VERY long time ago.) We went to my place and let's just say it was a wild night that carried into the Sunday afternoon. A typical one night stand. (I was such a slut.)

 

Next afternoon that Monday, who should show up to my office for a sales meeting but that very guy from Saturday night. To say there was an awkward moment is understating the obvious. We both regained composure and carried forward with our meeting. We laughed about it later, after we closed the deal. And I swear his oral expertise had no bearing on my decision making process in this instance.

This is clearly an escort preference. I have mentioned to a couple of escorts that I saw them in the gym and walking in the street. They both said that I should've said hello to them. But of course I didn't know that at the time because I was going with my gut to not go up to them in public. I saw another popular escort at a restaurant. I was with a group of my friends and he was with a group of his friends so of course I wouldn't approach him. There was a point where I looked up and saw that he was missing from his table. I assumed he went to the bathroom so I went to the bathroom as well because I was tempted to say hello but he was not in there. Anyway, I think that being quiet it is probably the best option but if you are going to chance it make sure they are alone.

Did you check the stalls?

Haha. I didn't. I have some restraint. Hehe

Manhattan is exactly that too. Opposite of some outsiders' notion of it being a yuuge monolithic impenetrable mass. That not so much in any business sense, but rather that social acquaintances, first met in one kind of scene, you will invariably later bump into in some wholly other kind of environment.

 

Which can lead to some fascinating hookups!

[+ saminseattle]

Am I the only guy on here who thinks it's a terrible idea to just walk up to this scort and start chatting him up because you're interested in hiring him? You're gonna freak him out, man. It's really invasive. Go the appropriate route and call/text/email him later. Then, when you're with him, on an official date, tell him you saw him on your flight but wanted to respect his privacy. Jheesh, c'mon guys!

 

I agree with this in the scenario described, but I wonder if it applies in all “public” contexts? For example, what if an escort also works as a “go-go” dancer or at a strip club? Aside from tips, I could imagine he might do this sort of job in part for “marketing” purposes and because it provides an opportunity for him to meet potential clients.

 

Also, while I suspect that as a general rule, escorts probably don’t like being approached out-of-the-blue in public, even if they’re by themselves, I could also see them appreciating an opportunity for a brief face-to-face meeting. This could provide them a chance to “size-up,” for lack of a better word, the potential client in a way that texts, emails, and even phone calls cannot. I’m just speculating of course. I really don’t know the answer, but am curious what others think…maybe I’ll post something in the “ask an escort” forum…

[tsgarp]

It always comes down to this: show them the same level of discretion you would want in return.

 

It's really not complicated.
