Larry Reid's nice reviews

[Guest Fin Fang Foom]

This morning we find a THIRD glowing review from a first time reviewer.

 

Is it just me, or do I see a pattern developing?

[Guest Esc_Tracker]

It's not just you. They are clearly written from the same word processor, if you get my drift. I don't think this is necessarily bad. He hasn't gotten any bad reviews yet, and if these "good" reviews stimulate a real reviewer to shell out the $500 bucks, I am quite content to await the results. I just won't be the one to test the waters.

 

Let's be honest: if his pictures are true, this is one of the handsomest men in NYC. Even a "bad" experience with him can't be *that* bad. Hell, I would gladly pay $100 just for the right to give him a non sexual massage. One of the dirty secrets of the trade is that frequent sexual encounters with diverse partners exposes you to a number of minor but pesky ailments like skin rashes, parasites, etc. that leave scars and eventually begin to mar your looks. It's also emotionally a lot easier on you if you have to deal with fewer clients.

 

Larry is obviously hoping to preserve his looks and sanity by rationing himself on a financial basis. Other escorts do the same by semi-retiring and sticking to their favorite clients. Unfortunately for plebs like us, we cannot afford $500 an hour (though in all justice, he does hint that his "hours" are of rather indefinite duration).

 

For the moment, let's just treat these fake reviews as ads or fictional pornography (they *are* pretty hot to read), and wait for the real ones to come in. Building a clientele from scratch at that price must be pretty hard. I have a very soft spot for beauty and I hope he does well. If the next review describes him as a viscious, hissy, drugged-out queen, then we can write him off. Until then I'll just enjoy myself reading the fantasy image he is creating. If he starts getting good reviews that aren't fakes, I don't know about you, but I will start saving my pennies. ;-)

I had never heard of him until reading today's reviews. Is he new to escorting, or been around awhile? What would justify his $ 500 cost?

[vers7]

I suspect all three reviews were written by the same person. The wording of the reviews and the inability to use punctuation properly were similar. The same words were used repeatedly. However, the giveaway was the description of the first reviewer:

“I’m an intertional lawyer for a Fortune 500 company” (Few lawyers refer to themselves as international lawyers – and if they do, I suspect they would know how to spell international.)

“I expect, demand actually, excellence” (I suspect an international lawyer would not mangle his syntax like this, but maybe an ”intertional” lawyer would?)

There were other noticeable things; however, the biggest giveaway (I believe) is that I doubt that many men would be dumb enough -- even an “intertional” lawyer -- to pay $500 for a quickie with an unknown.

I couldn't agree with you more. Also, the first review described a date that occurred in March 2001, the second and third reviews were for dates in April 2001. Even the most popular escorts don't get reviewed as often in such a short period of time.

[Guest curious2000]

Also, I noticed that all three reviews we similarly written in the part where the client describes himself ( "me"). ? It is supposed to be about the reviewer. All three were older businsess men and ended up describing what "Larry" was like and more about selling us on "Larry" as if that section were written by him. . Because,I suspect, it was Larry actually writting about himself.

 

There was another thread about this escort a few weeks back and it pretty much surmised that the "buyer beware". I also think that beautiful pic is an old head shot from his very early modeling days and might not even be his. I remember reading somewhere that he used someone else's pics on his ads.

 

This is also not his first time escorting. He escorted about 2 or 3 years ago under the name "Larry Marc Reid" and had favorable reviews posted on this site and had reasonable rates then. I know,because I remembered how HOT and handsome he was and even wanted to hire him myself. He had a sexy website with lots of pics that vanished 2 years ago.

 

He might be all he claims and a very good escort. But I now have "sticker shock" from his fees and the deception with his pics and possible fake reviews and names ( isn't he escorting under the name "Matthew" as well?) are now a deal breaker for me. He is very beautiful, but I will just have to get over it.

 

It would still be interesting to see a real review and learn what he is really like though.

[Guest curious2000]

Another red flag. I just went to the website he has recently resurfaced on ("American Male") and could not find it in the New York listings. He was there a few weeks ago under "matthew" ( there are 3 other matthews as well). But now it appears he has deleted himself from that site (?).Makes one wonder about his credibility even more.

[Guest blankman]

Yeah, he's totally gone from american male, no michael1, no larry, nothing (even checked the "straight" models). I don't even know where these pictures that esc_tracker mentioned are, aside from the face shot with the review. That picture though is really stunning -- a *must have* -- (but $500 an hour, who is he kidding??)

 

This business of writing a lot about the escort in the "tell us about yourself" section of the review is something I've also noticed on a number of occasions in questionable reviews. It seems like a dead give-away that it's fake.

 

I thought his first review was fishy to begin with. Too bad! He's so hot.

[Justice]

You're both right, he is gone from American Male. I looked on Executive Male Escorts and couldn't find him there either. Escorts 4 You must be down, because I haven't been able to get it to load. (A lot of reviews include a link to the escort's web site or advertisement. His reviews don't. It makes you wonder.)

[Guest Esc_Tracker]

Hey, I hate sound like a booster for the guy as I have never met him. But while he may be writing his own reviews, he isn't *that* deceitful. The first add I noticed him on is at

 

http://www.maleescorts.com/ads/pages/2977.html.

 

It describes him as "AKA Matthew", so he is obviously not trying to hide his name change. My guess is that he originally used one name for modeling (Larry Mark Reid) and another (Matthew) for escorting and has decided to consolidate the two personnae.

 

The ad also gives a web site for him with awesome pics:

 

http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/malegods/lmrportfolio.html

 

and a "malegod" he is too, or at least was.

 

Even if he has picked up a few pounds and lost a few hairs and a bit of muscle tone in the last couple of years, from his past looks alone and his advertized willingness to be a power-bottom I am getting a very uncomfortable feeling in my shorts right now just typing this.

 

Please, please, unless you have had any direct negative experiences with the guy, don't ruin my fantasy by rubbishy speculation. Sometimes, it's too good to be true. But sometimes, just maybe, it *is* true. And I don't want you guys spoiling my chance by scaring him out of the biz before I can get my mitts (not to mention other body parts) on him. ;-0

Wow Esc-Tracker! Thanks! You're right Larry sure is hot. I just wish he wasn't so gosh darned expensive. He's obviously trying for a very limited client base and there's nothing wrong with that, IMHO. If he's as good as he looks, he wouldn't need to write his own reviews. There's more than a few guys who not only can afford him but who would also be ready, willing and able to write a glowing review if he truly deserved one.

Sorry, but I disagree. How would you feel about choosing a hotel or restaurant from the Zagat's guide if you found out that such establishments were paying people to send in positive reviews under the guise of genuine customers? People like this guy are destroying this site's usefulness.

[Guest Ellipse]

I would have to agree with you Pickwick. Fortunately, keen observers will create such threads to provide a caveat emptor to us all.

[Guest blankman]

Thanks, Esc_Tracker, for the URLs. Mother of God, he *is* HOT (or was, at least?)

 

Won't someone reliable please find out what his story is? If need be maybe we can take up a collection and send a reconnaissance man ...

 

Pickwick, I do agree though it's totally unethical to submit false reviews. Perhaps our reconnaissance man can give him a little spanking and make sure it never happens again.

 

Excuse me, I have to go take a cold shower --- ayayay, oy vay.

[Guest curious2000]

Hey guys, I will be the guinea pig and hire him for 200.00 if someone will "sponser"me for the remaining 300.00. I will then submit a legit review of what he was really like! ;-)

 

But seriously, what is so frustrating and strange is IF he is so exceptionlly hot looking and a power bottom and worth 500.00 per hour, why has there not been anyone come forward on this messege board to say that they have been with him? Either in a positive or negative light.No one seems to have actually met him! I know there are three reviews of him,but we all agree they are very fishy ( including HOOBoy from a previous thread obout the mysterious Mr. Larry Reid). Maybe he is for real and a skilled P.R. man creating all this buzz about him, because all this speculation and his hot pics sure still make me want him! Just not the expensive price.

 

I guess time will tell.

[Guest blankman]

The guinea pig might also find out if he negotiates the fee. It's a bit like buying an antique. You have to look them straight in the eye and say, "what would be your best price on this handsome piece? Your store is so lovely I'm sure I'll be coming back!" And then, don't blink. In my experience if they don't come down at least a little it ain't worth it.

 

More seriously though, at $500 an hour I would have to interpret his prices to be like overnight or extended booking prices -- more subject to negotiation in principle than just your hourly shot, wouldn'tcha say?

[Guest Esc_Tracker]

LAST EDITED ON Apr-27-01 AT 06:05PM (EST)[p]I am sorry, reviews that are that transparently fake slip below the radar screen of deception as far as I am concerned. Only an idiot would be deceived. They are ads and we should treat them as such. He has my attention, at any rate, and I would willingly click his icon if I could. It's important to keep in mind, that fake as these reviews may be, no one has written a bad review saying that he's a pile of s__t. The only reason this is taking longer than the Danny Damon case is that $500 is a stiff price to pay for something that might not work out.

 

I suspect it's not the fee so much as the time which is negotiable. At that price the hour is likely to be as long as 100 minutes, which with a power bottom with looks like his would be enough to get me off three times. Ouch! }>

 

If you think about it in those terms, and I am right about the flexible hour, all he is saying is that his minimum price is $500. Many of us have paid as much or more for an evening with an escort, so we are not talking about something completely unreasonable.

 

Unfortunately, I don't live in New York and don't plan to visit until November at the earliest. Besides, I am just about to head off to Europe where I plan to spend every penny I own (and then some) test driving European models (reviews forthcoming). So I can't be part of the "deep" reconnaissance team. Otherwise I swear I would adjust my cup-protector and step up to the plate.

 

Why doesn't one of you offer him $100 just to show up and undress - 15 minutes max - with the warning that you will write a review confirming or denying his looks? If he checks out and you want to go further or can't help yourself, pay him the other $400 for the Full Monty and see how long he lasts before he make slike he wants to leave. If you succumb to temptation, we won't hold it against you so long as you report. ;-)

 

It's a risky job, men, but someone has to do it. The truth *must* be known. Your fellowship is depending upon you to "uncover" the facts. Our hearts (and other body parts) go with you. Go now! Go deep! Go! Go!

Far be it for me to deny you access to the beauty that is Larry Reid. Just highlight and copy the URL, insert it in the URL line and hit return. Works for me. I have looked at his home page often enough that I don't quite drool anymore, so you should manage. ;-)

[Guest george]

WOW!!!

 

Thanks for the link HooBoy, this guy is gorgeous!

I don't care how many aliases he has, if he's bald and/or fat,

this is one hot guy, there has to be some remnant of that left!

 

Just kidding because of all the bashing before. If he looks only half as hot in real life, that's enough for me.

[Guest curious2000]

I just checked out his amazing pics on his webpage...Holy High Dollar Escort Molly! He MAY be one of a few only escorts worth digging deep into my pockets and paying ( gulp) what he is asking. I could just eat rice for a month like they do on Survivor and save my money for Mr.Larry "MaleGod" Reid. But NOT until someone comes forward to say that they have actually been with him and can verify if he is really as hot and stunning and sexually gifted as he appears. In a way,he is almost intimidating ( esp. since the awesome pic gallery of other equally "Bruce Weber" looking beauties seem to be organized by Larry himself and he also appreciates gorgeoas male "gods") It kind of leaves me feeling like: "well, I am on this high level and really only apprecieate other equally hot men, but for 500.00, I will let you f*ck my ass". Then again, he may be very talented at makeing you feel just as sexy and focuses just on you and kisses passionately, and gets into it and leaves you feeling like a male sex god too! If that were true then it MIGHT just be worth it. Esp. if ,like the previous poster suggested you can get him to negotiate at least that fee for a few hours or short evening. I don't know, unless he is really charming and nice and puts mere mortals like me at ease, then I would feel self conciouse about how he really felt about how I looked naked in his presence. ok, sorry to get off track and over analyise my own issues about that.

 

So, PLEASE, someone out there who has hired this HOT man come forward and give us the real scoop!!! I have to go look at his pics again and then take a cold shower and go lay down!

One other interesting point:

All three reviewers are first timers.

Fishy?

I can't imagine $500.00 for an unknown commodity.

Yeah? So what sort of person would create fake reviews that are so poorly executed that "only an idiot would be deceived"? A moron, I suppose?

 

If you encourage people to plant false reviews by making excuses for them when they do so, then why the hell should anyone take the trouble to write a genuine review?

Good point! Unfortunately however, it's become obvious that its not o.k. for someone like Anthony Holloway to write their own reviews ... but when a Greek God like Larry Reid writes one -- well we're supposed to read it and enjoy it for what it is ... a well written piece of fiction.
