Kristian - L.A.

[nice guy]

Kristian seems to be one of the hottest escorts on the scene at the moment, but have any of you had problems contacting him? I can't get a response from him! Last summer, I called and emailed a few times and got no response. Now I'm in a relationship. My best friend in L.A. is turning 40 soon and I decided to treat him to a present of an overnight with an escort and once again have been trying to contact Kristian. Still no response! I'm sure he is busy and may not need any new clients at the present time, but I find it very unprofessional to not even respond to phone calls and emails.

just be persisten cause he is worth it. he is slow to answer at times hugs chuck

[LovesYng]

I'll second what Chuck said, he is worth the wait. Just keep trying and you won't regret it. He is the "BEST" I ever seen :9

 

When in doubt I whip it out :+

The slow response time from Kristian is an ongoing saga. Last

I heard was that he had a jealous bf and wasn`t doing local overnights.

This relationship might now have soured.

[nice guy]

I think six emails (from different addresses even) and four phone calls is ALL THE EFFORT I'M GOING TO EXPEND on this guy. I don't care how good he is in bed, corresponding professionally is part of being an escort and he's pissed me off plenty already. And it takes a lot to piss off "nice guy." How he communicates BEFORE we even set something up is revealing information about how he might be while communicating DURING a session. In this day and age of cell phones and emails (with auto-response), there is NO EXCUSE for this behavior.

I can't even imagine how many emails Kristian receives on a daily basis. Give the guy a break.

[johnnysneakers]

I talked to him on the weekend and he was in Houston. He was to come back to LA and see me, but unfortunately I could not see him that night. I would really like to meet him as I have only heard of his good reputation to date.

He communicates very well during a session - with his lips, tongue, huge cock and tight ass.

 

If you don't hire him it's your loss.

I have not seen or talked to Kristian since he lived in Houston. Even then he either had a personal assistance or talked about hiring one.

Kristian brought up the subject, not me. So even at the beginning of his escort career, Kristian realized that he needed help with responding to dozens of e-mails a day, getting rides to and from the airport, etc.

 

By the way, I agree that Kristian is very special and worth the wait.

However, if I did not know him, I would have given up after a half dozen e-mails and phone calls that were not returned.

I'm with you. Despite his many fans, I would have given up already, long before six completely unanswered emails and an unanswered phone messages.

 

There are too many terrific guys who want my business and are willing to communicate in a way that makes life easy to have to deal with someone who won't respond to multiple messages.

 

Many of us (most of us?) get dozens or hundreds of emails in a day and we somehow find time to get back to people. Not responding to message after message is just too rude.

Personally, I got over 'new car syndrome' as a young man. You know, the: I've got to have THAT car, not THAT make or THAT model but THAT car. I found it made for a lot of unnecessary grief and usually added cost. Turned out there were lots of great sexy sleek new cars all over town. :9

[MichiganMan]

I'm not suprised at all by this. I had an overnight scheduled with Kristian back in early November. It took forever for him to respond,and he didn't answer his phone and didn't respond to my message (he asked me to call him). Needless to say...he never showed. Two days AFTER I left LA he apologized via email, with a load of excuses. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, and tried to reschedule with him in early January. He agreed, but the same cycle started again, and I finally lost my cool in my emails. I doubt I'll be able to see him again. Really sad, as I did an overnight with him when he was in Houston. The review I submitted was NEVER posted (regarding his no show in LA), even though I sent Hooboy ALL the emails to prove what happened as he had asked. If you want to resort to begging and wasting time, Kristian is your man. But such behavior in my opinion is HIGHLY unprofessional....REGARDLESS of how good he is. A simple two word "not interested" would have been acceptable...

[topcat]

I hope that there is no barrage of criticism for MichiganMan and his posting. He is brave enough to tell us about his bad experience with a much-praised escort who has devoted admirers.

 

I was not brave (at least, not brave enough to face the flaming that I thought would ensue on here) and did not describe at the time that my experience replicated that of MichiganMan.

 

I TWICE made arrangements to see Kristian, after much emailing and telephoning from Europe where I live. Luckily, I was on a trip to the USA anyway and did not go specially to see him. The first time, he cancelled at short notice but was very apologetic... and so last September I arranged again to see him.

 

That time, I came to LA specially and booked into the hotel he specified for an overnight stay, and I confirmed with him. He cancelled about 30 minutes before he was due to arrive: he said he was ill, spoke with a croaky voice and said he was on his way to see the doctor/hospital.

 

I sympathised with him (and kept my unhappiness to myself). About 15 minutes later, I had a brainwave - since I was committed to spending the night there anyway, I thought I would leave him a message on his voicemail to say that if he felt better overnight and would see me the next morning, that would be great. To my surprise, a perfectly healthy-sounding Kristian answered the phone immediately and said he was feeling better, but not well enough to work. I told him I would be checking out at 11.30am the next day and so if he felt fine in the morning... (For the sake of completeness, I should record that Kristian did telephone me back the next day at 11am and said he owed me "something next time")

 

And for readers so far, that evening I called up 2 different guys in LA whom I had contacted previously. Both were happy to see me at short notice, and both gave me a delightful time in bed (and I spent much less money than planned)

 

I do agree that Kristian is a physically beautiful specimen of manhood, and I very much like his reported sexual versatility and energy. But I can only admire the luck or persistence of those who do get to meet him

[nice guy]

I find it shocking that anyone on this site would defend Kristian's behavior in (not) responding to potential clients. "Give him a break," "Keep trying, he's worth it." What is it -- the lottery, where one has to keep buying a ticket hoping you'll get chosen? Is he picking and choosing who to respond to based upon screen names? What is the secret to getting "chosen" by this "God-like" escort?

 

I believe those of you who say he's a nice guy. I don't doubt that in the least. My only gripe with him is the inability to get a response. If clients let escorts get by with treating them like this, well guess what, we encourage this disrespectful behavior. Get an assistant, respond to emails on a "first cum, first served" basis, have a auto-response saying "Thank you for your email. I will get back to you shortly," or alternatively, have the auto-response say that "I am overwhelmed with emails, calls, client sessions, and am not taking any new clients at present." If Kristian knows economics, his BEST course of action to meet the insatiable demand for his service is to raise his price immediately.

 

Setting up an appointment with an escort should be fun and exciting, stress-free, making you look forward to the session. Many people dismiss my criticism, saying "he's worth it." Worth is subjective. To those of you who think it's worth it to grovel to get an escort to allow you to take your money, fine. You must care only about how the steak tastes at the restaurant, whereas for me, the greatest steak is not enough to warrant a return visit to a restaurant if the service is atrocious.

 

I wish Kristian continued success; he's obviously a hot man who just needs some help coping with the deluge of interested clients.

[Guest alanm]

It sounds like Kristian is burnt out, big time.

 

To be fair, I need to give another side of the story. I hired Kristian for an overnight in April, 2002, just when he had become one of the most popular escort in the country -- partly due to this site. We talked about his impossible upcoming escort schedule and I suggested that he cancel some of the appointments. Kristian said that he could not do that, because people seemed to be really looking forward to seeing him. In fact, I know that he kept every one of those appointments.

 

Three years later, he is letting a lot of people down. As has been suggested, there are many ways to solve the situation, with a personal assistance, an automatic e-mail response saying that regretfully I am not taking any new clients, etc. The posting by the European man who called back and get a seemingly totally healty

Kristian is very disturbing and unfortunately totally believable.

I also agree that it serves no purpose for those of us who have hired him and had a great time to mindlessly praise him in one or two sentences in light of what has been posted.

[Argos]

I have hired Kristian and agree that he is an incredible escort and probably the best I have ever hired. However, that really is not the issue that Nice Guy is trying to address. I too have had problems contacting Kristian in the past and was frustrated by his lack of professionalism in not responding to either my emails or telephone calls. I know he is very busy but it is the height of rudeness and somewhat arrogant to totally ignore your clients.

 

I am a professional and would never not return a client's call in a timely fashion. I do have assistants that help me and I always put in the effort to make certain calls are returned within the same day. If I cannot do that personally then I will have one of my assistants make the call for me and tell the client how they can reach me after business hours if they would like and that I will contact them personally as soon as possible.

 

I hope Kristan is reading these posts in order to give him an idea of some very simple measures he can take to remedy the situation.

[+ deej]

I've often wondered how much of Kristian's early success was due to the efforts of his then-partner Athan.

 

(Note that I've met Athan but haven't met Kristian, so I could be way off base.)

 

Adrian and Blake in Orlando were a fabulous team, but you'll notice all communication is with Adrian. Blake was a great fuck but it was still Adrian processing email.

 

This could be a situation where Athan got Kristian propped up in a position that Kristian alone isn't equipped to maintain.

 

I'm not forgiving anything, and I've never tried to book time with Kristian. I'm just saying he may be in a position he's just not equipped to handle.

[KY_TOP]

I have traveled with Kristian twice plus seen him in LA. He has always been hard for me to contact by e-mail, hence my little jab about his e-mail in my annual Christmas gift list. I've had better luck by phone but have also called to only get a message that his voice mail was full. Once after not hearing from him for several days he explained he had been in Houston and didn't check messages when he was visiting family. If someone has the time, patience, and are not turned off by his delays in responding, they will probably have a good with him. But the good thing is that LA has so many great Escorts it shouldn't be hard to find someone else to see.

 

My take, and only my opinion, is that Kristian is having trouble balancing his personal life and Escorting.

[Argos]

KY:

 

I too have a tough time balancing my professional life with my personal life . . . one of the primary reasons I find myself hiring escorts. However, I still believe that the customer/client comes first, and for that matter, in my experience with escorts this client has always cum first, or at least, almost always.

 

Kristian just needs to be much more savvy about communicating with both his established and potential clients. Hopefully, this thread will help him understand that need because he really is one helluva a guy. I actually may try and give him a call right now. But you are right there are a lot of other great ecorts Nice Guy might want to try in Los Angeles including someone like Brogan.

[brentberna]

Hmmm. "Athan" starts to post again with his nonsensical "poetry", etc... "Kristian" starts to pull whatever stunts he is being accused of pulling. These two are supposedly "broken up". Mr. "Hugs" is up their ass in defending them. Maybe we are all being played, again, sort of like the whole FBI knocking down my door and taking my restaurant money in Houston nonsense.

[Athan]

hey hey, now...don't go pulling me into all this. :o

 

I may be boyishly persuasive, but I am no conspirator. hehehe

 

As for Kristian...well...I ain't one to gossip...BUT..."I heard he was married to Tim but stared fuckin wit Trina!"

 

"Well I heard he got pregnant by Michael Jackson!"

 

"Well I heard he got hit by three Zebras and a Monkey!"

 

(exerpts from Missy Eliot's "Gossip Folks".) :+

[pierrot]

uh, Athan, could you clear that message up for us please? What exactly did you mean to say?

[Richard]

I guess I was the luckiest sob in LA when I saw Kristian last week. I called him the day before I got to town, he answered the phone and we set up a time. I called the next day to confirm, he asked if he could call me when he got back from the gym, he did, I picked him up, we went to lunch and had a fun-filled hour or so back at my hotel. Basically, that afternoon was the highlight of several days in the warm California sunshine for a refugee from frozen New England.

 

My experiences with Kristian have been uniformly good and you'll never see me say anything bad about him. All the negative comments seem to center on getting ahold of him, and the frustration of unreturned messages. I hear ya. Having said that, I can only say that this is not unique to Kristian. A few months ago, when I was in LA, I had spoken with Kristian and knew he would be out of town for my visit, so I pulled out my list of runners up and called at least six guys in the afternoon and left messages with my name, cell phone number, hotel information and telephone number, and times that I would be available over the next few days. Know how many who called back? Zero. Zip. Now, if you would like to beat up a bit on your self esteem, form the impression that you can't even pay for it.

 

So why the spotty response record? Here are my theories. Kristian is a creative, talented and gifted person (and not just in the sack either) and, like many creative people, when the juices are flowing, they focus on that sometimes to the exclusion of all else. Kristian also has repeat clients who may get priority because they are known quantities. He may call them back first. Some of his wealthier clients have booked him for travel to exotic locales which keeps him out of town for several days at a time and pays enough that he can get a break from clients for a few days.

 

I function in the world of business and if I wanted to expand my areas of interest to escort finance and public relations management, I would change a lot. I would recommend a cell phone just for 'work' and would update the message every day including the message that I was all booked up that day or when I would be out of town. I would establish standards of service that all emails be answered within 48 hours and voice mails within 4 hours. Good clients would have their calls coded for a special ring, which would require less screening. Escorts who don't work for agencies are classic free-lancers; they work for themselves. I think some may only work when rent or bills are due. They may have never worked in a 9 to 5 environment or have fled it and don't stick to a predictable schedule which is incredibly difficult for those of us who do to understand.

 

There are many escorts in the sea of LA. Although personally, I would always call Kristian first because I think he's special, should he be awol, I would keep working my list of those with the Hooboy seal of approval until I was able to make arrangements with one of them. If I can't get a table at a favorite restaurant, I don't damn the restaurant's success and I guarantee you that I'll eat someplace and might even discover a new favorite. That is the opportunity which can come from an initial disapppointment and it's the risk borne by the place that couldn't accommodate me. That's a tortured analogy, but it's all I can manage on jetlag after a long day of business meetings.
