What things about an ad make you believe an escort is good?

[Xander]

I just realized what a great resources the forums here could be for me to learn some new stuff --- so without more blabbing from me: What things on an escort's ad trigger the notion that this is a good escort that you have a high likelihood of calling in the immediate or near future?

 

Thanks

correct spelling (including the word "discreet") and grammar, some sense of being smart and savvy, accurate stats and pictures, text isn't too melodramatic, silly, or lengthy.....

 

just looked at your RB ad and it looks good...to me....to the point, not too flowery, practical info and dates.....

 

welcome to the board....

What draws me in are the photos but what makes me call for an appointment are the reviews. Have a link to reviews on your site. This is a great forum for both escort and client to refer to.

[tyro]

As one who hires (and is on this forum at least once a day!) I can tell you some common gripes/kudos I've read about escort ads:

GRIPES: fuzzy, old, or inaccurate photos

inaccurate descriptions of services

ATTITUDE (as in, "You are SO fucking lucky to have the CHANCE to hire me...")

wrong city/too many cities listed -- no one wants to play "Carmen San Diego" or whatever that show is

 

KUDOS: honesty in one's physical description and types of services provided

links to trustworthy reviews

 

After these things, it just becomes a matter of choice: What attracts me to/excites me about this person? If you've ever read the members' critiques of the men featured in the gallery, it's obvious that we all have very different tastes...and that's good. Not everyone's going to like cute, smart, young redheads like yourself! (sorry babe) But I think the WORST thing any escort can do is misrepresent himself in ANY way, whether it comes to pricing or his physical qualities.

Hey babe, there is a market for EVERYONE!

If the escort posts a pic of his face and body in the same photo. Its a major red flag for me when not even the head and chest is shown in the same picture! I also like to see in the ad copy that all photos are recent and actually of the escort.

Lists a phone number in his ad but doesn't insist that I call or text him.

Being upfront about what city you are in.

If the escort lists at least his hourly rate. Ask, call, nego etc are total time wasters and huge turn-offs for me.

If you take the time to fill in all the blanks. Skipping over things like position, ethnicity, smoking, body hair, safe sex etc makes me take your ad less seriously or expect dishonesty.

If you actually say something about your likes etc and not just select every box and option.

Hi Xander, I would like to see a photo with you smiling and looking playful. You look so serious in your ads. Just a thought.

I mention playful not circus performer! I’m just kidding. You’re very cute! And I do love red headed men! Thanks for the photos!

I've been invited into a few circuses, actually. I do side consulting for a local circus gym. I LOVE the circus arts! More on that ... but I don't like to talk about goals until they are already well in action

[tyro]

The first photo of you smiling is uber-cute. I think it'll be a great addition to your ad. Now we'll just have to wait for the Powers That Be...

Referrals from the board members will do wonders for your career of escorting, more important than any advertising. Good luck babe!

I second that - it's a great photo and will definitely broaden your appeal.

EXCELLENT POINTS! I'm much more negative nowadays, having been "burnt" multiple times (my own fault). One commentator here notes how useful it is to get recommendations from others on this site...but really? I was given one "sterling" recommendation for a West Coast escort described unambiguously as "model handsome." I flew him to NYC only to be greeted at my door by [ouch! I won't say publicly]. I don't see how one client on this website can recommend an escort to another client unless they have exactly the same tastes. Perhaps it is possible, but seems extremely difficult to me.

The second and third photos look like you'd have a GREAT time using someone's sling ...

The stats in your profile match the picture and the website snapshots

I think youre right about just one person recommending someone. But if there are multiple reviews of someone and they are all glowing, then I think that would be acceptable. For example, I hired Andrew Justice just based upon all the glowing reviews here and also at men4rent. That, and asking him what all he was into doing, made me hire him. I didnt have a doubt that he would be a excellent time. And he was.

[JT Brooklyn]

Pix's that Look Recent and Email Contact! Alway's nice to see things in writing..so there's never a "I didn't agree to that"! CALL ME does nothing for me!

 

Although over the year's IF the Pix's look Too Purdy..I will CALL and hopefully not get a "Too Purdy Voice" which turns me off!

You are fortunate to have lucked out with your own experience. One escort I met showed me the multiple reviews he had written himself under different pseudonyms. I didn't have any reason to believe he was just kidding. He went over the different phrases knowingly. After that, I tried to think of different methods of asking, with respect and courtesy, how to ask escorts to show what they looked like. Two different escorts refused to send me a cell phone video of themselves. Both wouldn't say why, but I was polite and indicated no hard feelings, perhaps another time. Another escort refused to "Skype" using video, in a suddenly curt manner. I can recount 3 episodes in a row last year meeting up with escorts who looked entirely different than their photos. I published reviews of them all. After these experiences, I became perplexed and hesitant to hire again. One friend advised that it is best just to hire someone for an hour at first to see what they look like, but that rules out bringing in escorts from other cities. Practical advice is welcome!

Strange thoughts raced through my mind as I viewed these pics. I would NOT have them as part of an ad if you were considering doing that. Will you be performing acrobatic moves on wires

during your time with your clients! [i am smiling as I write this. I am serious but yet have an aura of banter about me!!]

[Epigonos]

Xander in all honesty I very much like the written content of your ads and most of the photographs you post. The only photo I might criticize is the back bending cock shot - frankly I find it silly and it shows absolutely nothing. If you are going to post a cock shot post a "real" cock shot. For me, at least, a cock shot isn't a requirement. If Southern California were in your travel plans your ads would definitely arose my interest. Good luck

Oh, I think the pics are fun. They show Xander's active, playful side outside of the bedroom - sometimes I think it's great to see some pics that aren't the expected kind of shots, especially if they show another part of the escort's personality or hobbies, etc.

[+ FreshFluff]

Xander, I think your pictures look great. You look young, masculine, and friendly, which are three major qualities that clients seek. Have you ever tried Mystic tan or any of the other booth spray tans? If you can find one that leaves you a realistic color, that might broaden your market further. Tanned skin is considered hot.

Tan can be hot, but I also think that paler skin, especially on a redhead or a blond, can also be really, really hot. ;-)

It is nice that you care enough to use good quality photography, it amazes me how some post such poor quality photos
