Congrats on the review! I STILL haven't been reviewed :( but I also feel weird asking for a review and I think most clients don't like to write reviews, at least where I am lol. Especially since there's also this thing where plenty of escorts prefer to not have reviews, even if they're good ones.

 

You already have a great collection of pics! AND a good video! Better than the pics I currently have posted to my RM ad at the moment lol. Looking at your ad makes me feel like an amateur haha.. I've been meaning to fix my profile up for a while now and this is definitely gonna motivate me to step it up lol. It looks like you're definitely off to a great start!

 

Try to learn something from every client about how you want to be perceived by clients, how you want to interact with them, how you want to handle all sorts of different situations that may come up, etc. I guess it all depends on your niche but I feel like interacting positively with clients is a lot more important than performance in the sexual part of it, although bad performance is still not great and it doesn't at all hurt to be good at a number of different things in bed ;)

 

I'd also say don't worry about 'branding' so much. In a way it's similar, but think more about what niche you'd like to fill, rather than what your 'brand' looks like. One thing I really like about this work is that I don't ever feel like I'm competing with others in my area really, because most people fill a different sort of niche, and even if that difference is very slight, it still makes a world of difference to most clients.

 

As for rates, it's very much dependent on your area. Some people might take it the wrong way but, if you're having trouble figuring out what your normal, standard rate should be.. I wouldn't hesitate to contact other escorts near you, explain that you're new and figuring it out, and ask them what they charge. Just don't let it bother you if anyone gets bitchy about it.

 

Also, I promise I only mean this in the nicest and most flattering possible way. You're young, in great shape, and have a very nice body. You're objectively and conventionally very attractive. Don't let that go to your head. Experienced clients will smell that from a mile away, although some might be into that... (to be fair being a bit full of yourself in that way could totally be part of a niche). Just don't get the idea that you can charge significantly more than other clients purely based on looks. Everyone sorta finds and fills their own niche. No tea no shade, there are plenty of conventionally unattractive escorts that still do quite well. Idk about how things go in the huge west- and east-coast US cities that have tons of providers and clients all over the place, but from what I know experienced clients tend to expect your rate to be relatively similar to others in the same area, and having a higher rate usually has more to do with having more reviews, being more well-known, etc. Since you're just starting out I'd even suggest low-balling a bit at first, not to undercut people but to give clients a little incentive to try out the 'new guy'.

 

Before this gets way too long even though it already has, the only other thing I want to add is if you haven't already, put more thought into putting up one or two face pictures. That's completely up to you though -- you'll see clients posting on here about how they would never even click on an ad if the first picture didn't have the escorts face in it, but really that's only some clients. Not having a face picture up might hurt your chances of being hired a little bit, but in general I believe it's always worth it to do whatever feels right for you, even if it's something that you're worried about hurting your chances of being hired, because in the end doing whatever feels right for you just helps you fill a more and more unique niche.

Agree with everyone who says add a face pic or two. I’m with most...no face pic, no dice. I’ve been burned too many times where I’ve seen absolutely SLAMMING bodies, then they show up and the face is busted.

I tend to send a face pic once I get to know them or if they request to see it.

That’s definitely fair, and I would have no problem with that if I were hiring you. I was more referring to the people who specifically say they won’t send one. Those I will not hire.

 

Best of luck, and I hope you get to the outskirts of New York City soon! I would love to hire you.

I just started escorting the other day as a tip from my friend who said I would be a good candidate with it. (https://rent.men/FigureSkater) I need some tips on branding and opinions on rates.

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum and its colorful, opinionated and wonderful members. Consider a road trip down I-35 to Dallas sometime. It’s a short 3-hour drive from OKC and I think you’d do well here. Or conversely, I need to drive up to OKC and enjoy the incomparable Habana Inn, the largest gay resort complex in the Southwest (a shameless plug, I know) and pay you a visit.

 

Just some simple tips—

 

1. An asking price of $250 is reasonable. Psychologically $300 can be a deal breaker for me.

2. Don’t be a clock watcher. Giving a client an extra 15 minutes will increase your repeat business tremendously. Your client will think he’s found a deal.

3. Many escorts I’ve met are obviously in it for the quick money. If you and your client finish the dirty deed after 30 minutes, lay naked in bed with him and make him feel like he’s got the biggest cock on earth, stroke his ego, whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Make your client feel important and that he’s the center of your universe. After all most clients hire for more than just flat out sex. They hire for intimacy, companionship and human touch. Why more escorts haven’t figured this out is beyond me.

4. Do not attempt a triple salchow as your opening move. A simple lay-back spin will suffice.

5. Word travels fast in this community and it can sometimes be brutal. It can also be very complimentary. Don’t be a flake, show up on time, don’t ask for compensation ahead of time.

6. Don’t be afraid to tell a client NO. If you say you’re into something and you’re not the client will be disappointed and not repeat with you.

 

OK, enough of my mentoring. Good luck to you.

 

P.S. Did Gushers restaurant close?

Just wanted to comment on the face picture thing. I sometimes lock my face pictures for discretion. Like when I go out and don't want to risk getting recognized. So I think it's fine to have your face pictures locked. Sometimes I unlock them though and make them public and have had clients that told me they only hired me cause the face picture was public and they didn't have to ask me to unlock. So I guess we don't really get the luxury of being discreet in this line of work... lol So what I generally do is make it public unless I'm going somewhere that I think I might be recognized in public.

 

Also you is in Oklahoma City where it would be even easier for you to be spotted in public. I guess some clients find it an annoyance to ask for the passcode for the private pics if that is where the face pictures are... So as escorts we have to balance how much privacy we want and how much work we want... But again you are in unique situation being in OKC, which is a small community. Everyone knows everyones business.

 

I am actually from there btw (before moving to California). Last time I went home to visit I took on one client and as for rates I charged what I charge here in Los Angeles and Orange County. I had more offers, but I only accepted one client as I was on vacation. I might have got the same rate as I get on the coast though cause I was visiting and my reviews? So I can't promise that will work for you. You can always give a price though and let them know you are open to negotiation. IF they negotiate too low you can always thank them for their time and move on if it's too low. OKC does have an affluent neighborhoods though such as Nichols Hills. Here on the Coast most of us I think charge $200 to $250 Hour for our time. Porn stars that are famous sometimes go higher than that. Some do less, but I personally don't go below $200. Also you can offer multi hour discounts like some of us do to motivate clients to hire you for more than an hour. Like $200 Hour for first two hours of time and then $100 Hour after. I also do $300 for 90 minutes for a client that wants more than an hour but not a full 2 hours. If a client just wants an hour I charge $240 Hour of time. And I use to offer specials when things were slow. Like during Tax Season things die down alot, so I would offer a lower Tax Season Special. But now we can't advertise rates on rentmen, so that went away. Just be sure you emphasize you are charging for your time. Especially in OKC as it's part of a Red state.

Others more local to OKC might be able to give better advise on rates though than me as I'm Coastal.

All Great advice! Glad to hear the Coastal rates apply in OKC like I suspected. I'm curious what a triple salchow is though? I guess I should google that. And yes Dallas is a great market. As for the clock watching though. On the flip side if you accidentally go two hours after a client booked an hour...you might lose out on that extra hour of pay. So you need to find a way to be able to know how long it has been without clock watching. Course after a while you will just become really good at knowing it has been an hour of time. If you glance every once in a while at the time, but don't leave as soon as the hour is up...it's ok. I like to always give a little extra time, so it's not so jarring. Like don't be like Ding hour up Bye! LOL I had one client that said another escort actually used a Kitchen timer with a bell for the hour. VERY Tacky!! LOL As for Gushers I'm not sure if they are open or closed. I would assume open? But I did hear the Habana Inn was up for Sell!!

I agree on contacting other escorts about what they charge. Alot of times when you are new though other escorts will message you to strike up a conversation. That's a good time to ask them advise about rates. I don't think most will answer back bitchy, but I'm coming from the California market. We are all pretty nice to each other, so I would assume it would be the same way down there.

Hot profile, you got me twitching LOL. OK City I assume is a very limited market, so you'll likely need to be a traveling provider...if true, read all you can on here from Victor Powers who seems to have mastered that gig, he lives in Salt Lake City and makes regular trips to his regular cities to see regular clients. Also, Victor is a master at this trade and you could learn a lot from reading how he approaches his work. Pls put Boston on your list! And good luck!
