Getting harder to contact escorts?

He then proceeded to say "It is my policy not to accept any liquid beverages from clients" when I asked if he would like something to drink.

 

The best policy is not to use the word "policy" in conversation with clients.

One escort actually got mad at me for not warning him he would have to go through a security person at my building. He had my real name, unit number. All he had to do is say "I am going to see XXX in XXX." He then proceeded to say "It is my policy not to accept any liquid beverages from clients" when I asked if he would like something to drink. I understand that as far as drugging a guy, etc. but the way he said it. He could have just said "Thanks, I'm fine".

 

There was a peripheral message in how he replied... Basically he was saying "dont think about fucking with me"....

[SteveEscort]

I got rid of my landline in 2002 few months after getting a cell. Then got a smartphone this past april. I noticed allot of guys won't leave a message. Anytime a clients here and on the table I turn the phone off. Sometimes I'll turn the phone on after the session and see missed calls. I call them back regardless if they left a message or not..

 

If it's within an hour I will call back and just leave a message saying "It's Steve, I missed you call and obviously you have my number so just give me a call back", most do, some don't. If it's any more than an hour I don't.

But texting seems to be replacing email & perhaps even voice calls with the younger crowd.

 

Texting caught on far earlier in UK/Europe than it ever did in the States. I communicate by text to family and friends and some regular clients. New clients, never by text, I will answer basic questions but I always speak to them.

 

Most UK plans come with free minutes/text/data. I have my old iPhone as my work phone and I am on a sim only deal (no new phone but I don't need one, I get a new personal one every year) and it's £10 (about $16) for 600 minutes, unlimited text and unlimited data. Bargain

[SteveEscort]

I HATE it! If an escort ad says "text only," I move on. IMO, that escort is immediately labeled STUPID, and I want nothing to do with a stupid escort.

 

As an escort I completely agree. Why would an escort want to be text only. Is their time too precious to have a conversation. FFS..........

 

As I say repeatedly, I don't mind text but after 5 texts I lose interest. If you want to see me and don't know me, you have to phone, if you want to see me and know me then text is mighty fine if it's easier for you

I'd have a glass of wine off you LOL, I never say no to a sociable client. It makes for a nicer appointment.

Geez Seek, are you sure we werent separated at birth ? Funny thing, I was given a cell phone at work because I kept saying I felt uneasy these days when getting in my car withone one. Its still lying on my desk, unactivated, almost 1 year. AND my office was even gonna pay for it.

 

lol. I do use my cell phone occasionally - mostly when I go to take care of my father in another town. Sometimes I need to leave a number for a callback while I'm there and it has to come to ME, since he has moderate Alzheimers. I also carry it on the few occasions I travel.

 

One difference between us, jjk - I actually WANT a smartphone (like all the cool kids have but thus far I haven't been able to justify the expense. (Similarly, I really wanted a tablet last year, but when I considered the limitations...I bought a netbook for traveling instead. Sometimes, reason DOES prevail.

I'm so glad I aint a "Techie". When I want to be the 60 year old "cool kid" I just buy a new pair of converse hi-top sneakers....

I got to borrow an iPad late last year when a friend stayed at mine the night before her holiday (I live near the airport) and she said oh just use it the two weeks I am away.

 

It was just a big iPhone without being able to make calls. I'd wait at least another 18 months before the specs on them become similar to a laptop/netbook before purchasing one myself.

 

I did get a Kindle for Christmas. I've not had chance to use it but it does facebook etc too so it's just little a mini tablet

Hop across the "pond" and join me. Cocktails at 5:00, fucking and sucking at 5:30.

I am more forward than that, cocktails at 5pm, cock at 5.15pm

I tend to do it backwards—cock first, then a drink.

[maxwellissmart]

I have no patience for texting. None. I have a very strong aversion to typing on tiny keyboards. I HATE it! If an escort ad says "text only," I move on. IMO, that escort is immediately labeled STUPID, and I want nothing to do with a stupid escort.

 

Just in from the wonderful world of texting (with real-time updates!): "I need you service."

 

Oh, and the reply to my follow-up: "Tell me a little more about you and what you're looking for."

 

"Sex."

 

"Time/place?" (you know it will be "NOW" or "SOON.")

 

"Tomorrow, no now"

[followed by]

"How do you?"

 

"You want to meet tomorrow or now? How do I what?"

[instudiocity]

And escorts also forget that NOT everyone has joined the technological age, as in my case I dont have a cell phone, and alot of ads I see on Rentboy say "Text Only". And this is certainly not something I can borrow a coworkers cell phone for...

You could text from your computer - here's the first site that came up when I googled 'text' ... http://www.pinger.com/textfree/

"Years?are you old" (yes, I realize this person is likely foreign, but didn't he get my number from my profile on M4RN?)

 

"Does it not say in my profile? I thought I had that info posted."

 

"Ok"

 

He said he would call me later. That should be fun. Oh, here we go again.

 

"How much?"

 

"$220" (In the past, this is where I get offered some ridiculously low amount with the justification of "but this is all I have!" as though they are pleading for food for their starving child, or water for the village.)

[five minutes, no reply. Alas, I think he's given up.]

 

Yeah, Rock—I can understand why you don't like texting. Sometimes I'm not too keen on it myself.

Zero for 8 = there's something wrong with your timing or your overall approach. Or there's the off chance that you did something to piss someone off in a past encounter or there's some negative press going on about you.

 

I do not think there is any chance these are true. I was from out of town.with no prior bad experiences. have been hiring many years. My calls were brief and definite about hiring where and about when. They were first calls so they were discretely non specific. If the timing was wrong I go back to my question, is it getting harder.

LA has had a big problem with escorts "partying" recently. I see that more and more when I work with a guy they are strung out on something. They become unreliable when they do and miss appointments all the time. On the other side of that I was with a client once and while we were in his hotel room there was a knock at the door. He contacted several guys and booked us for the same time. He only wanted one and the first guy to get there got the appointment. I asked the client if I could at least open the door and tell the other escort that he wasn't "needed" but the client insisted that we just ignore the knocking. Every 10 minutes for 30 minutes the escort knocked a few times. I felt terrible for him.

 

As far as the phone numbers not listed on Rentboy, I can understand that to a degree. I field at least 5 calls a day from dead leads from clients. Guys seem to think it's ok to call an escort just to JO over the phone while asking questions when it obviously isn't. A good escort can usually weed through the serious inquiries and the fake ones but I always feel really bad for my friends who answer these calls and get excited that they are going to meet up with a new client but the guy isn't even in town and has no intentions of coming anytime soon.

 

I have had very few e-mail leads that were not serious and only a handfull of those e-mail only clients didn't end up hiring me. That is excluding of course the typical emails from " an engineer/architect/ambassador/senator" from some far off place who wants to pre-pay for a week or two via a check in the mail but that scam is an entirely different animal.

That's awful, all those guys getting their time wasted like that. Horrible man

I had a guy call me once it was on a monday he wanted a massage on friday. he calls monday asks for rates details. calls again on weds asks for details again. our massage appointment was for 9pm on friday my last booking so there was no way I could book someone else. He calls 15 minutes to 9 and says during our original talks you said all work including erotic is hand contact only. Well I found a guy willing to suck my dick as well so I'm going to go with him. I was like well thats all fine and dandy but you might as well show up cause you owe me 100.00. You don't want the appointment then you have 1hr too get me that money or i'll post your phone number online. about 15 minutes later my money was in thee door.
