What it's going on in NYC?

[Yeison]

I'm sure many of you had experience a huge slow down in the biggest escort empire, I can see clients in NYC visiting my profile once and once again , I see a lot of clients visiting more thank 20Times but not even a message.

 

I've been asking to all of mY escort friends about their week and it seems we all are on the same page, nobody is getting business since last week.

 

What is really happening?

Why is happening?

What are the best seasons for NYC?

where to go during slow seasons?

I haven't noticed that. Revenue may be a little more chunky than usual (as opposed to even), but it's still averaging out to higher than usual.

 

What are the best seasons for NYC?

 

This is personal lifetime revenue by month of the year (as of December 2016), but that's probably very highly correlated to NYC earnings, as that's where the vast majority of it comes from:

I know the rentmen fiasco was 2 years ago but i feel like its effect still linger to this day, Many people were scared off from hiring or hire much less, or stick to the regulars they had prior.

 

To go in a little deeper I feels like theirs so much escorts out there, that sometimes people treat rentmen more like instagram and just check out the hot pictures/videos each day and do that more than hiring. Theirs tons of guys with hot bodies and great faces that you have to make differentiate your profile, but I'm still shocked you are seeing [uSER=15464]@fallenAngel[/uSER] as from your avi you have a great face and body. Maybe its just a slump this month, with escorting you go from highs to low, next month should be better

Yes I certainly have. Since about the end of April. I made big bank between February and mid-April. I just couldn't save it because coming out of the holidays and relocating, I had to catch up.

 

What is really happening?

 

I have no idea. It's definitely unusual. Unless some of the foul demons and ogres of the forum cast some kind of spell onto the actively posting escorts, it's hard to tell.

 

Why is happening?

 

Unless it's the above answer, I think it's probably just due to it being graduation season. Kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc getting "gifts". Also lets not forget about April 18th...tax day. Uncle Sam may have reached deep this year.

What are the best seasons for NYC?

That's what I want to know. I've briefly driven through NYC, but I've never stayed or worked in NYC. Though I've met lots of clients from New York over the years, I've not mustered the courage to actually do a trip there. But my guess is anytime between May thru September...since September thru May they're all in Florida.

 

where to go during slow seasons?

When the North is slow go down South. When the East is slow, go West. And vice versa. Though right now...it seems pretty continental.

This May is on record as one of the wettest and coldest May's in NYC history.

 

Unexpected:eek: cooler & wet weather absolutely affects business from my experience.

As an active hire who lives in NYC I've limited my hires to one basically. I've found the man who makes it special and amazing. Why go elsewhere? Nothing lasts forever and I will ride what I've got for as long as it remains that way.

I need a phone full of contacts just like you ☺️

Awww thanks. It's my nature to be loyal. Can't say I'm not tempted to look elsewhere but I know what I have is special.

Last week several escorts shared with me that they have experienced a slow down as well. They said NYC feels very saturated with escorts and it is very competitive. They mentioned that a year or two ago they had a client(s) every day or two, now they usually get 1 or 2 a week.

Follow Market laws. Lower your prices.

It's been the same with me and my other friends, it seems this month it's very slow, I am thinking of leaving NYC and relocated in another city, Thinking about SF, LA or Atlanta.

Awww thanks for the compliment, I will stay in NyC some more time but I really want to move somewhere warmer and better for my business lol

Well, there is the data.

 

Can't argue with that.

 

If your business is slowing down, it may be a natural part of the evolution of your brand.

Might have to go back to the drawing board, I have to go back every 3 months or so to reassess.

Mocha, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, many NYC residents are out on Fire Island or the Hamptons, so I would not be surprised to see a downturn during that time. While many people that hire are older, only a relatively small percentage of NYC people are snowbirds who head to Florida for the winter.

[TopTierTop]

You shoulda come to Chicago. I've been killing it here! Last month was tied for my best month ever!

Great to hear that Rico. Going to Chi Town was clearly a good idea!

Can you host me hahahha

[TopTierTop]

Yes. And I am loving it so far. My place is like 2 blocks from the gay beach and I love riding my bike on the trail along the lake.

[TopTierTop]

My place is small but maybe we can work something out once I am completely settled in. I just signed a lease at the beginning of this month. Last month I was subleasing an apartment just for that month.

Either that or they just flat out move here. People have been moving down to Florida from New York for years. Actually met a guy from Brooklyn who was down here for the Orlando gay days. New Yorkers are always cool...

Sometimes though there's nothing one can do. Often it's simply their location needs to change. I've seen it happen many times. Nothing happening, I'm going crazy, go to new city, business back to usual. For example, as I was moving out of Nashville last month, there was nothing going on. Lot of the regulars were unreachable, just nothing was happening on the escort front.

 

But soon as I left Nashville to another city before memorial weekend, things did a 360. I had to turn people down I was so busy. Business exploded just in time to catch all the latest Memorial Day sales.

 

But looking back, I did well overall in Nashville, but I'd of not been able to stay there the whole time without traveling. Atleast in New York there's people who can afford to pay. In some markets, you meet a few guys who will spend, but the vast majority either don't have it to spend or won't spend it even if they have it. Which is beyond the realm of control.

 

So before you pull your hair out trying to analyze why things aren't going the way you want, just try switching up the city.

I'm sorta glad demand is down. And there seems to be this "if I don't set my rate at $300/hr or more, I may appear less special" attitude. There are hundreds and hundreds of NYC options on rentmen alone. If they get a little bit hungry, pricepoints might be lowered, more transactions may happen and it potentially becomes win/win ! Yay !

 

That said, I'm curious what both clients and escorts think about whether a $50 difference in hourly rate really makes any difference at all ?

It does make.a difference. I would see that escort more often for sure.

Your point sounds excellent in theory, but until all the NYC landlords/property management/property values (or virtually any city in America that slops up a bunch of square-shaped, prefabricated, $2 by the square foot complexes in formerly majority minority neighborhoods and calls them "luxury homes") lay off their prices, it's going to be less compelling for some to lower theirs.

 

A $50 difference does matter, in the short run. I use to get kinda in a knot over it, but I'd rather the person either come back to see me, or see me for a couple hours for $500.

$50 is not a deal breaker but it does make me think. There is an escort in Brooklyn with whom I enjoy spending time. In order for me to get there, I have to pay two tolls, pay for parking and gas, not to mention facing traffic which at times adds an hour to my trip. As a result, I only hire him when I have to be in Brooklyn anyway. If his rate were $250, that would just about cover the tolls, gas and parking, so I might consider those things as part of the deal for $300 instead they are in addition to the $300.

[LaffingBear]

Whether $50 matters is a little more variable or situational to me.

 

I wouldn't try to save money if the guy I most want to hire costs $50 more. I'm not going to settle for the $250 guy if I'm drooling for, (and have verified,) the $300 guy.

 

But there are other value-factors.

 

I may be willing to pay $300... but have an arbitrary limit in my head that I'm just not willing to pay $350. For me, the outcome would probably be to hire no one... so it matters. Price can keep me out of the market. But price is unlikely to drive me into a lower-priced market.

 

Theres a fulfillment element to hiring an escort that would influence me away from "settling" based on price. Its not a hotel room decision, where I dont want to spend the higher rate for the beach view, but my lower-priced room is equivalent in every other way.
