These guys are selling fantasies. If the escort you're referring to looks 19, what's wrong with him saying he's 19? Even if he were 25, I wouldn't see the problem with him advertising as 19 if he truly looked 19. Who's being hurt if he shaves off a year or two? And can you tell the difference between 19 and 20, anyway? A twink is a twink is a twink.

Yes, it has the word "teen" in it!

The problem is often they don't look 19, or if the illusion was credible at some point, 2 or 3 years later it may no longer be credible. I am sure that's a hard realization for the escort to come to, but being false about the age can lead to some disapointed clients.

Donnie this brought back memories of one of my favorite songs }(

 

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

And no one can talk to a horse of course

That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Shaved a whole year! My god! If the guy is 22 that's OK, but if I had known he was really 23 I never would have hired him.

 

Now, you're not really trying to claim that you can tell the difference between 20 and 21, or between 19 and 20, are you?

 

This whole thing puts me in mind me of the controvery over Danny Damon's age (yeah, remember him?) and the guys who were debating whether he was an under-age 17 or a legal 18 by looking at the picture on his reviews(!!).

[NY Observer]

For me, age isn't at all important.

 

I think many of us expect that the older guys use the 5 year rule, cutting a full 5 years off their age. Does it really matter? Not to me.

 

But, if everyone else is lying about age, it's a reason for others to do so, kind of keeping up with the Joneses.

[Guest Bitchboy]

And where does this thread tie in with the one where we're expressing our concerns about growing old? Our own obsession with youth creates the atmosphere in which ageism thrives. Sometimes we're our own worst enemies. Me? I love men, all ages, all sizes. I love being with them, talking to them, fucking with them and growing old with them.

[Will]

From the commercial point of view, escorts have learned that men will pay for youth, and it doesn't matter whether the men are straight or gay, or whether the youth is male or female. Therefore, I fully agree with Donnie. If youthful looks -- VERY youthful, apparently! -- turn you on, what difference does it make whether the escort's birth certificate makes him 23 rather than 19?

 

As a rule, I am not at all attracted to very young men, and therefore I look at the ages of "older" escorts. Usually, I search out the ones who say they're 38 or 39. If they really are 38 or 39, that's fine; but I assume that they're 43 or 44, which is just where I like 'em.

 

The category of age-deception that I really do not understand -- and there are plenty of escorts on this board who fall into this group -- are those who say they're 31 or 32, when one glance at their faces will tell you that they will never see 40 again. That's just plain stupid. Either it makes the client feel as though he's been deceived (which, of course, he has), or -- worse -- it reveals the escort to be so vain that he actually thinks all those wrinkles, creases, and less-than-smooth skin are invisible on him, though not, of course, on his clients.

[Cooper]

Hey Jimmer, you've raised a good point, but let's not stop with just lying about "age". A few escorts I've been with lie about most everything, usually hoping to gain my sympathy in their lame attempt to get more $'s. One even tried to get $'s from me for his education, found out later, he wasn't even in school. What a "creative" story that one was... Oh well, live and learn.

[+ glutes]

I agree, most lie about all their other stats too!!! (Resume puffing??) This is a very prevelant tactic I've seen in the Bay Area Reporter ads, one guy has been 25 for the last 6 years, including same picture!!

'Buyer beware', that is why I now use only foreign escorts where you get to meet them first, and for a much better price.

[Guest connaisseur]

the answer is very simple: everybody does it, and for some reason they seem to think that we are more into young guys than older ones.

[jimmer]

I suppose that you're right, Connasseur. But, in the case of this particular escort, the lying about age is only the beginning.

 

I guess what I left out of my initial statement is my supposition that if an escort lies about his age to attract business, that he will lie about anything, or, at least, say anything to attract business.

 

Caveat emptor.

It is not simply a physical thing though. I think some of us find that escorts above 25 to be more jaded. In that sense, apart from creases, wrinkles and skin tone, 25 and 22 or 19 and 23 can sometimes be very different. One way to think of this is the Campus distinction between Freshmen (18-21) and Varsity (above 22). If you look on the web site, there is a physical difference, and in my experience an attitudinal difference too. That is not to say that everyone will always choose Freshen over Varsity, but if one is looking for the former and the latter shows up, nobody should be surprised if disapointment follows.

[Guest Love Bubble Butt]

I think you're eaxctly right. When I read a review or ad and they state their age. I always add the number 5 to it and feel sure that more often than not, I'm then closer to the true age.

[Guest Love Bubble Butt]

I can love men of all ages. Be friends with men of all ages. Enjoy the company of men of all ages. And learn from men of all ages. But I'll be honest: I prefer to fuck the younger ones! :+

I'm trying to picture what you mean -- what about their behavior gives the pretenders away? -- and the only examples I can think of are silly ones. ("He didn't say 'ohmigod' or smack his gum once! I told you to get me someone YOUNG, dammit!") :+ What's a real-life example of the jadedness of the Varsity players you've run across?

 

Not that I have any professional interest in this subject. I'm long past being 'jaded' and have entered safely into 'embalmed' territory...

[Uncle Bill]

Lying about age is clearly a marketing ploy by those who do it, which is just about everybody to at least some degree (clients and escorts). While many on this site look for "older" guys, the majority of visitors are probably out for the "younger" ones, so there is a clear incentive for escorts to shave years. I'd like to say right now that, while I've never met him, I think it was Brian in Austin who wrote in to Hooboy to correct his age by several years (I think it was at least 5 and that he actually admitted to being 30 or), and I believe that honesty (albeit belated) deserves praise -- besides, he definitely looks like the younger age his had formerly claimed (what a cutie). Other escorts have also corrected their ages from time to time (I seem to remember at least one guy who sends in an update each year). I have always been honest about my age (and other stats) when talking to escorts since I don't want surprises on his end that unfavorably impact the session, but I guess that I'm lucky to also look much younger than my true age (being overweight hides wrinkles, and the gray hair is minimal).

 

I'm not sure that I'd say the "older" guys are necessarily jaded, but there are often significant differences in maturity levels (duh) and that undefinable "young" attitude between guys of 18 and 25 (or 30). I almost always want a guy who LOOKS like he's between 18 and 25 or so regardless of his true age (as long as that's at least 18), but the personality I'm looking for varies from time to time depending on my mood (as does the body type I'm interested in). Sometimes I want a more mature, grounded kind of guy -- and that will TEND to be the older ones, and sometimes I want the more spontaneous guys who truly act young (college-type young that is) -- and those TEND to be the younger ones. However, I've found that those personal qualities that I'm searching for don't always correspond to the age of the escort, which is why the reviews on this site, the comments in this message center and the direct email/phone contact with the escort all play very important parts in evaluating new guys that I might hire. Obviously, their abilities during "quality time" are of high importance as well, and I want a guy who participates activly, which also has no real bearing on age. All that being said, I'm a sucker for a guy who's 18-20 (actual age) and has his shit together (with me being 45, that makes those guys young enough to be my sons, but I try not to think about that part).

That principle is what keeps Madison Avenue advertising firms in business. Most of Hollywood works the same way, only it's called "spin".
