I read it. I thought the comments about the other escort wasn't right. He just showed up after being texted or called. The other escort most likely didn't know about all the drama he was just there to hopefully see a client and hopefully make bank. I don't see him as being a leftover. issue is with the client only

Joey, do you ever have positive, enjoyable experiences? Life -- or at least the escorting side of it -- seems to be one long, unfortunate string of unfair, negative encounters for you.

I agree. I've avoided posting anything up till now because I think you are a nice (albeit rather troubled) guy, Joey. But the negativity is really starting to get to me. If I had never read your posts here, I would consider hiring you if you and I were ever in the same place at the same time. After reading all of your posts, however, I don't think I'd ever be able to relax and have a good experience with you.

 

By the way, welcome back to the forum (I assume you intended to announce your return by starting this thread).

Hi Joey, sorry to hear about your recent experiences. I think escorts need to have a thick skin in such a situation. The client who invited you for drinks handled the situation poorly. The excuse for you having a cold was a lame one. If he really wanted to, i'm sure he would have hooked up with you regardless. Anyhow, it's his money and he can choose how he wishes to spend it.

 

I think your venting is good because it allows some of us to see the other side of the coin, if you will. Like your client, I sometimes contact several guys at the same time and I usually go with the first responder. If someone else calls me after, i don't play pick and choose. I just go ahead and schedule another session to play.

In Joey's defense—sometimes we post on this board because we need to vent, and it comes across that we're nothing but negative. I can see both sides of the fence though, and I've tried to post or start more positive threads about escorting (because even I get tired of hearing myself bitch).

 

What I thought was unintentionally hilarious about this post was the religious segue at the end. I'm not knocking anyone's beliefs, but I love the process of talking about "leftover bitches" and clients who are fucking stupid, and then claiming to have "taken the high road" whilst walking with God. In my mind, God got a cramp and said: "I'll think I'll sit this one out, Joey. Catch you later."

 

And here's the thing (and this reminds me of Mikey's earlier post about the guy who stood him up in the hotel room and the following discussion about discretion): sometimes as escorts, we fuck ourselves. Believe me, I can say this because I've made both of the mistakes that Joey and Mikey made. And yes, I was pissed. And after I thought about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that 1) it was stupid of me to agree to "audition" for a client and do a bunch of things that raised red flags. I should have listened to my instincts or stood by my business principles and I wouldn't have found myself letting someone freely waste my time. And 2) as far as Mikey's situation goes—I've been stood up at hotels. I now make the person tell me the room number, and I call them at the room number before I even walk out the door. It's not a perfect system, but I can at least guarantee they are physically standing in the room they are supposed to be in and not just pretending.

 

Things will go wrong on occasion. Please let us vent about it and offer constructive criticism. If you guys feel like Joey does nothing but bitch—then don't respond to his posts. Eventually he may get the message that he needs to balance some of the bad with some of the good.

LOL..noticed that also.

[instudiocity]

WOW.

 

Joey, you're walking with God:

a) while driving 100 MPH in a 60 MPH Zone after a 17" snowstorm

b) insulting Southern Californians as a WHOLE GROUP

 

I think the term "high road" doesn't apply to speeding.

I usually enjoy reading the stories of things that go wrong when escorts post them because it lets me see the other side of things. My agreement with DG was based on Joey's universally negative postings (at least in my limited experience with this board). There's also a difference in tone between Joey and most of the other escorts who post. Maybe it's just my personal preference, but reading Mikey (or another escort) post a story and state how much the client (or potential client) pissed him off because of bad behavior doesn't make me less inclined to hire him. The issue with Joey's posts is the whiny undertone. He always sounds like the world is out to get him.

 

I avoided posting on his farewell thread or his relationship ending thread because I was having trouble explaining exactly what I find off putting about his posts. Perhaps I'm doing a poor job here, but I hope I'm conveying the message. Anger is okay. Whining is bad. It can be a fine line, but Joey is well over on the whining side in a lot of his posts. But I do give him credit for sharing his experiences. Even if I'm less inclined to hire him after reading his stories, I think the stories and perspective are interesting.

Ugh. nevermind.

[maxwellissmart]

Ugh. nevermind.

 

See? Point made.

[Decatur Guy]

See? Point made.

 

Actually, your point wasn't made. i think your reply to me was presumptuous -- you ignore his unrelenting steam of negative threads, and then hop on the rare time I've ever chimed in.

 

I've got a challenge for you, given your advice to me to just ignore Joey's posts. Go into the last 20 threads started by Joey. See how many times I bothered to comment, until this one. You'll see I'm not making a habit of commenting on them.

[Guest countryboywny]

I'll probably end up kicking myself for posting this, but I have to say that I agree that the majority of Joey's posts are negative. I often think to myself "Why doesn't he just get out of the business?" As a client, I would probably never hire Joey because his on-screen persona makes me doubt that he really enjoys this work, and I don't want/need any more negativity in my life than I already have. I DO however respect Joey because he owns his comments and lets us know who he is. He doesn't hide behind a "nom-de-plume" on this forum. He is what he is, love him or not. I respect that.

b) insulting Southern Californians as a WHOLE GROUP

 

I gotta tell you Joey, you got me on that one...it's gonna be awhile before I forget this...This should go without saying, but since apparently you don't seem to get it sometimes, there are indeed some wonderful people living out here in SoCal...glad you are not one of them...and since this thread as all the beginnings of the last one, this is the last time I post on this one. I will leave your remarks for others to comment on, unless of course you really piss me off...

[JoeyBryant]

Although the only replies I read was Maxwell's and Joseph's (just because I'm only interested in escort replies and the rest just repeat themselves.) with the occasional glance, I'm just going to still say something.

 

In my blog I did take responsibility for letting the client do what he did, however I still don't excuse it and it wasn't til about the last 5 minutes that I even had any idea of another person showing up!

 

See, I'm from Florida. The bottom. Opposite coasts. When I talked about people from California (I said SF) on the blog, I'm simply just going by what ALLL the other people have said to me over the years in every state west of Texas. It's not stuff I made up in my head. They say their pretentious and stuck up, and fake and phony. I know everyone from Cali isn't that way, but most of the ones I've met have been, sorry. They certainly aren't New Yorkers. That client was the epitome of those very words. He even discussed how escorts and our industry is flaky SEVERAL times over our drink and appetizers. In the end it was he who was. I've never even had anyone pull that shit before. Who would do something like call 2 guys up at the same time, have them meet face to face, then talk about picking and choosing and risk a fight breaking out while the client watches in joy.

 

Not only what the client did was stupid, it was pretty fucking risky and even put the escort in a dangerous position. Let's just say I was some evil, vindictive, revengeful ASSHOLE (I used to be and decided, okay...I'l go up for free. But then pull out a gun upon getting them naked and demand money? That would have been dangerous.

 

What if I was extra vindictive, and now that I know the escort who the client chose me over by face...I decided to set up fake appointments to that person? Or set up a real appointment, and have him come somewhere and have someone beat the shit out of him. That would have been evil.

 

Or if as they were walking into the hotel lobby, I decided to get crazy and holler out loud what the 2 were doing and basically make an embarrassing scene? In the hotel lobby, in front of every. What if I was that guy???????????????

 

Not saying I have or had any intentions on doing them because I'm above all that now, and it's just too much energy...but you never know, I could have been that crazy guy. Things could have been a lot worse. That same client wouldn't of got away with that 2 years ago. I'd been of played along, took him up to the room and started robbing folks. Especially when you talking about calling 2 different Black dudes. Showing up at the same time. One may just be crazy. Luckily I'm sane.

 

I'm saying these things because it's never a wise choice to instigate strife amongst people that you really don't know too well. I could have been a real crook. You make up an excuse, you leave do what you need to do. Don't put other people's lives in jeopardy because of your own stupidity.

[josephga]

I do however felt what this potential client did was low class. IMO the moment you met that was the moment your time together begin
