Information on Baton Rouge

[MikeyGMin]

A couple escort friends of mine are considering making a trip to Atlanta with a possible stopover in Baton Rouge. Does anyone know whether that's a halfway decent city to work for a few days? I know it's not a major city, but they do have a few escorts advertising. They will stand out because they are attractive young Latinos, but none of that matters if there are no clients to be had.

 

Any information would be appreciated. It's a long drive from Houston to Atlanta!

Baton Rouge is O.K., but you and your friends should also advertise, and be prepared to go to, New Orleans. The drive is not that long and you will definitely get more exposure. My experience with NOLA is that the escort scene there is mostly full of out-of-town / visiting escorts, so by advertising in both Baton Rouge and NOLA, you should get more exposure and business. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the input. That was my thought as well.

 

For some reason I have it in my head that New Orleans is not a great escort town, but that may be more about the escort pool than the client pool. I can't really remember why I have that impression, but that is why I was suggesting they might want to stay in Baton Rouge and go to NOLA for the right client. Especially since it gets them closer to the end goal which is Atlanta.

To my mind, the escort pool and the client pool in NOLA are both fairly shallow. However, the road from Houston to Atlanta (about a 12 to 14 hour drive depending upon factors like rest-stops, etc.) is lacking in real opportunities for escorts. If I was going to Atlanta from Houston, I would simply gas up the car and gut it out on the interstates.

Unless the two escorts are visiting the capitol or LSU, there's not much to Baton Rouge. They might consider driving to Biloxi, Mobile, or even Pensacola (a bit out of the way, but a possible market) on the first day.

Thanks for the input guys!

Guys from Baton Rouge usually travel to New Orleans for fun but I'm sure as visiting escorts the would do well with the local crowd and if possible visit Nola in the same trip or a different one.

You just described the Bible belt! Plenty of conservative guys yet the area has nothing but small markets.

I understand sometimes it might be a good idea to advertise and visit a small city where closeted older gay men are in need of attention, but Biloxi? Pensacola?

 

Sorry those cities are too small, without an anchor (client flying you for an overnight) I would never advice someone to go there.

The drive from Houston to Baton Rouge is about 4.5 hours. If one's destination is Atlanta, it is hardly worth stopping in Louisiana. Biloxi may not be much of a market, but with casinos and an air force base, there are possibilities for fun times. Pensacola has an NAS, giving the boys further opportunities to support the troops.

Did you just realize who the boys are?

Casinos? Air For base?

 

We're talking about some escorts driving from Atlanta to Houston, there are casinos in other places and Grindr is in the whole country, if they're young and handsome they can get laid everywhere they want.
