Just got screened by another escort - WTF?

[+ DickyF]

It's been mentioned by some in this thread that the escort may be asking to ensure that it's not entrapment or LE on the other end. I can certainly understand that mentality, but it can be flipped the other way. When these escorts start asking for my pics, I automatically assume it's a sting out to entrap me! I could lose my job if it got out that I'm engaging in an illegal activity, so I just avoid the risk. And with this FOSTA/SESTA bullshit impending law, the risk seems even greater for clients now. I have always struggled with how explicit to be regarding my expectations for a session. Someone earlier suggested that being explicit could also explain why the escort wanted face pics. But how are you supposed to ask for what you want and clearly articulate what it is you're looking for without being explicit? When there's this amount of money involved, a client wants to make sure he's going to get what he's paying for.

This is similar to my worry - what happens with my pic? It could end up anywhere maybe get caught up in a sting. Or, I’d hate to think so, but a blackmailer could use it against me.

Skype is possibly the best option. What about Snapchat since it auto-deletes pix

Yet ANOTHER reason I've always pref'd STR8 guys lol. (which I oft get flack for btw) They rarely screen rarely care WHAT you look like bc they're not attracted to you PERIOD. Good personal hygiene and all that goes with it being a given, you could be Zac Efron or Louie Anderson or 68 or 268 lbs they rarely discriminate:rolleyes:.

 

I don’t JUST fo straight guys but I can assure you NO straight escorts in LV or anywhere else has ever asked for a picture or description or anything else. And I HAVE done the hundred dollar bills thing and it’s worked.

Being turned down for sex by a paid professional has got to hurt.

 

Being turned down hurts. If you think your money is going to shield you from your self esteem issues, you are delusional. It is not the escort's fault.

 

Agreed!

 

There are things that not even the best escorts can do.

 

[hypothetically]

Just seems like there aren't any authentically skilled escorts out there - just scammers and fakes who only want your money. It's becoming just as much of a hassle as trying to find some action on the apps.

 

I think clients often forget (or are unaware) that escorts receive a generous number of bogus inquries that sometimes lead to an address where no one is present, a hotel where the room number provided does not exist, or clients who completely ghost upon your arrival at the destination. Just as you, the client, are taking a gamble with booking an escort, an escort is taking a gamble by accepting an offer. It’s our time, and time..is money.

 

I’m not sure what city you live in, but here in New York, quite often, a potential client will send me a photo along with a description of himself, which while courteous is not necessary.. and quite frankly, I do not care. I am, however, very receptive to how one communicates and if a potential client is giving me bad or peculiar vibes, I’m asking some goddamn questions. Maybe it’s you? There are clients on power trips (as seen throughout this thread) meth addicts, upon many others who believe if you throw an escort $300 that’ll make them more enjoyable to be around, and baby..that’s not the case.

 

While that’s unfortunate an escort screened you so aggressively, humble yourself and remember just as you, the client, who does not want to provide a measly photo of yourself because of your insecurities, you are dealing with young men likely dealing with worse. Sometimes new to this profession..afraid, unsure and trying to figure out how best to navigate a plethora of temperamental clients. Empathize. We do it for you, all the time. I’m doing it right now. You’ll be okay. The talent pool is gargantuan, book someone else.

All I can say is that my best experiences have come from escorts who do not request my stats. If they do, I move on now.

 

That is the simplest and wisest way to say it.

 

There is indeed no need to use any negative words about escorts that are asking for stats. But there is also no need to hire them.

You do know all phones today allow to take, and then keep, a screenshot of anything, right?

Hey, who are you?

I like your brain, I would love to take a look at the packaging.

Yes, no doubt but flaky guys happen in all jobs/activities.

 

That tendency has increased lately, and some escorts will avoid making plans with a guy using a google voice or a text app.

[TopTierTop]

Perhaps some one should have told you the world does not turn around you and your needs. If you have self esteem issues I am sorry, you should go to counseling. That does not give you the right to discredit and disrespect honest professionals. If they are screening you, they are doing you a favor, instead of just taking your money and delivering mediocre or poor service.

Well said! Very well said!

[TopTierTop]

This is a good practice. Some (Not me) have certain physical attributes and criteria they look for in a client. A face pic may be to know who to expect at the door also.

You are correct!

[TopTierTop]

I accept the above screening picture. Hilarious! I do not actively ask for pics, but appreciate if they are sent proactively.

I have never met anyone who refuses to either send a face pic or meet up in person in advance if they prefer. It works for me and I really can’t understand why if it doesn’t work for a potential client they don’t just move on and forget about it. I know I have a lot to offer but I am sure there are many, many others that can provide the service under their terms. I agree that if it makes the client angry that is due to some serious self esteem issues.

Ah yes. The ONLY reason is because of self-esteem. NOT. A definitely never-hire escort, folks.

Good point. Could just be that the client has anger issues or just lacks respect for escorts as human beings with the same freedom of choice as clients.

[+ freecahill1965]

Yes, @

I screen somewhat not as aggressively though. I only ask for their cell number so that I can easily call them if i get lost plus just ups the percentage that they are serious about meeting up when I have a number instead of an email,where they are more likely to play games/ghost by email. Also I don't care about their height or weight or what they look like but I do ask their age. Just because when they say they are 30 and younger I move on bc come on lets be serious... guys under 30 by personal experience meet ups never pan out by never planning through or they are just playing games. Even 35 and younger is iffy, I actually want my clients to be older, I tend to have best experiences with guys 40 and up. I love my older gentlemen hehe

 

@hypothetically is unfortunately correct, timing is very important to an escort or non escort so i understand an escort screening for their own sanity because with so many time wasters out there its just to cut the bullshit people... to you they sound difficult but in their shoes they are just trying to protect themselves. You should feel good an escorts is asking questions that means he asks questions to everyone and isn't just taking any client bc he's desperate, escorts should have standards too don't u think

Yes, [uSER=12155]@Dominiking[/uSER] but your age criteria for younger is far different that asking for a picture, limiting clients by weight, limiting clients by look, limiting clients over a certain age. You except all and do not discriminate by physical appearance. I think this OP is directing this post to those type of escorts. If a client hires you, you provide the exact same service no matter their physical characteristics. I tend to find that escorts who do not discriminate based on physical characteristics provide the best service. You a prime example. You may limit youngers to reduce fakers but you do not create the atmosphere of uncomfortability by discriminating by physical characteristics.

Perhaps T3's characterisation of why a potential client would not pre-meet or send a pic was ill-advised (as he acknowledged), and perhaps any attempt to explain why they would not do so is similarly ill-advised. But that is his business model and it seems to work for him. Your conclusion that you would not hire him is your prerogative. I would hire him, whether he would accept that hire is a separate question. At the moment it's all hypothetical anyway.

Oh, no, it is not the only issue. I wonder what is yours.

[+ SundayZip]

Exactly. I'm paying a premium amount, and an escort should be able to deliver the fantasy without having to know what a client looks like beforehand. If they can't, I still contend they are in the wrong business....

...These prissy, choosy escorts are ruining the profession for everyone else.

 

To the best of my knowledge, there is no single set of operational standards that every escort must follow (except possibly in your head). Maybe you should publish a book of operational standards for the escort industry and get it approved by the escort certification board.

This is quite a conundrum for me! Apparently I am in the “wrong business” but I like it and make good money at it. What to do?

Hand raised. But I do like it when you're drawn into a conversation -- just so I can look at your avatar.

I do not think so. Your a young hot dude. You have a particular niche and you market it well. Thus, you are successful. Just because some clients have different hiring criteria and some esorts have different client criteria. It does not make either right or wrong. You are happy and your clients are happy that is all that should matter.

Escort or client, if you aren’t comfortable with who you’re dealing with - move on!

 

P.S. to this overall thread, I’ve sent my pic, age, stats etc. too many times to count to providers with zero consequences over the years
