+ 5280Dane Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I actually appreciate the information on ones to avoid, so long as the reason is valid. If it's just a matter of a situation where it wasn't a good fit, then take that with a grain of salt, it's the ones who would steal, potentially harm, etc that I like to avoid. Google search is a great resource as I recently read many reports on a profile I saw where escort had been jailed for assault on his ex. Not that people don't make mistakes, but violence is not something I would put up with. BTW - I am going to Austin in April and am grateful for the advice on Brodie - not that I could afford his rate. Good grief! I just hope to meet Mr. Wolfe! Levi Stone 1
TruHart1 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I'd sure like to think...etc. Also, forgive me if it's discussed in a site FAQ somewhere but what determines the moniker a member gets, which shows up just below the screen name to the left of our posts and that changes over time ("Baron," "Knight," "Master," etc.)? Is it length of membership, number of posts or something else? ...This particular "Master" looks forward to kneeling before that "Newbie" again soon. The short answer is that your title is determined the number of posts you have made on the forum, @BigRic! TruHart1 + BigRic and marylander1940 2
MichiganMan Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Escorts to avoid...isn't that part of having a escort review site (or at least one that is up and running)? marylander1940 1
down_to_business Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Unfortunately, "client" review sites are as follows. Escort I never met but purchased advanced travel for (plane ticket) absconds with said ticket, no calls, no shows, and never speaks to me again. I write a review to warn others. I get blacklisted on these client review sites by this escort for doing so by this escort (twice). Like I would (even try to)hire him a second time after he did that! How can I be a bad client, at least I bought his plane ticket as we agreed upon... oh yeah...how dare I try and warn others that he "stole it" by not bothering to show up. No clue what he did with that ticket. I'm sure any escort who followed that escort's blacklisting of me, dodged a real bullet! Levi Stone 1
+ nycman Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 On the flip / flip side, do escorts ever tell other escorts about clients they should welcome? I doubt it, but thought I'd throw it out there. Oh yes...escorts talk. Once after a particularly athletic, sweaty, and fun time with a new hire we were laying in the bed soaking in the afterglow and he rolled over and said "I heard you were a great fuck but I didn't expect THAT!". He quickly realized the slip of his tongue and then clammed up fast about whom had said what about me. It was flattering but nonetheless it was an eye opener for me. Oh yes...escorts talk. + BigRic, + g56whiz, TruHart1 and 4 others 7
jawjateck Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Oh yes...escorts talk. Yeah, we are a gossipy community. My most personal life details are held back from everyone. I don't go there. I trust no one to keep safe important confidential info, but providers often chat about me and to me minimal personal stuff that could only have been shared with them by another provider (or client from this forum). Doesn't bother me, but yall should consider keeping your important stuff private. Levi Stone, + BigRic, + nycman and 1 other 4

Yup One companion shared with me an innocuous factoid about myself (on the confidentiality level of not liking broccoli) which I had only shared with one other companion. I've not contacted the indiscreet companion since. Loose lips sink ships. + nycman, LADoug1 and MikeBiDude 3
Tonyko Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I'd sure like to think that something of your bolded variety would be exactly the kind of serious matter that leads to the creation of an already-existing dedicated thread? Also, forgive me if it's discussed in a site FAQ somewhere but what determines the moniker a member gets, which shows up just below the screen name to the left of our posts and that changes over time ("Baron," "Knight," "Master," etc.)? Is it length of membership, number of posts or something else? Where I may be going with this is that, if it's a function of how active someone is on the site, the "Newbie" designation might not necessarily be a "giveaway" of anything/an indication that that member should be taken less seriously. It's one thing if someone is brand new here and their first post is to simply ask a question or join in a conversation etc. But if their FIRST post is to either praise to the hills a non-reviewed scort, or countermand the negative reviews of one, or warn of unscrupulous or dangerous behavior by one, then I'm taking that with a grain of salt which is something I'm much less likely to do if it's coming from a long time member with 800 previous posts. + azdr0710 and + Eric Hassan 2
big-n-tall Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Similarly, "everyone" knows I dig Ryan Steel. Controversies which he says keep him off these discussion pages aside, it's also become clear (to me at least) that another reason he doesn't come on here is because he's so busy putting smiles on clients' faces and earning 5-star review after 5-star review. He's classified as a "Newbie." This particular "Master" looks forward to kneeling before that "Newbie" again soon. Get a room you two... oh wait you already are. To be fair, the supposed controversies are more about some of his cheerleaders feeling the need to belittle fellow forum members on his behalf (not about the man himself). Everything else is typical forum chatter... where people praise (how great he is physically) or complain (his rates) about things. Every working guy on here has run into that to some degree. You should encourage him to participate. He doesn't have to write a lot. A thoughtful/positive remark here or there can change a lot of attitudes. As I tell most people who start posting here... some people can be annoying, some are great, but really and truly the only people's opinions you should be concerned about are the ones who know you. Besides most people's bark is far worse than their actual bite. Levi Stone 1
big-n-tall Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Now on topic... To the OP, as some have said, you haven't rattled the hornet's nest... yet. However, except for a few particular escorts, most guys have their cheerleaders and detractors. Throwing out a blanket statement about who I should avoid kinda doesn't benefit you at all. Someone I might dislike, you might favor. You won't know until you meet that guy. Just do your research if someone interests you. If you're not sure give us a name and if anyone knows they'll chime in one way or another and let you know. caliguy, Levi Stone, + Eric Hassan and 1 other 4

More than fair enough, @Tonyko. For me, the number of times that it's been clear that "a grain of salt" is in order have been outnumbered by the times it's less clear what's going on. I've seen scenarios here wherein perhaps "a disgruntled client or competing scort" seems to be "mak[ing] up wild accusations" yet they have a decent post count/aren't a newbie. (For instance, that popular guy I mentioned in my last post seems to be on the receiving end of that often here.) But I also acknowledge that I'm "new-ish" here/you've been on these boards longer than I have. To quote Mr. Ismay, "I leave it to your good offices . . ." Tonyko and Levi Stone 2

TruHart1 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks, Tru. Where did you find this info/is it posted? Here is the discussion about it back in July of 2015, where we discussed not only the "peerage" levels but also how some of us have received 'special' titles: https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/what-do-our-titles-here-mean.106228/#post-983579 I hope this answers all your questions, @BigRic but the truth is, I cannot remember exactly where I got the original list of the peerage, however, the thread shows that one of the forum's administrators @deej clarifies the whole thing during the discussion so the list is complete and correct.

+ g56whiz Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Of course. I do. And on the flip flip flip, I recommend escorts to clients when I'm asked about friends/recommendations/duos. That's part of what I'm up to when I talk up another escort on these pages and/or on MSS, especially if it's someone who doesn't advertise (like a Justin Philly or James Denver). The idea being that paying it forward also reflects positively on me, perhaps generates duo business, enhances my status/raises my profile and helps puts smiles on more client faces (and, yes, more dollars in escort wallets). It's part of good client/business development. Damn!! BigRic in a duo!!! Be still my libido!!!

rvwnsd Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 On the flip / flip side, do escorts ever tell other escorts about clients they should welcome? I doubt it, but thought I'd throw it out there. When afterglow conversation with a regular hire turned to "so what do you have planned for the summer" I mentioned that I was traveling to a particular city and was having trouble lining up a suitable companion. My regular hire said he knew a guy in the same city who occasionally escorted and asked if I wanted him to mention me to his friend. When I hired the friend he mentioned that my regular guy was very complimentary in his comments. Escorts to avoid...isn't that part of having a escort review site (or at least one that is up and running)? Yes, it is. The Forum is not the escort review site. Speaking of sites does anyone still submit reviews to the site of whose name we do not speak? All of this would be moot if our friend Daddy would return from his sabbatical. Come back soon. We need you. Based on what he wrote on the main page of the review site, it seems like there is less of a sabbatical than a review of all the reviews for explicit content (i.e., content that could get him in trouble) and a redesign of the site. By the way - you can still view reviews posted prior to Daddy's pause in publishing new reviews. + bashful and Mydavid 2
