One of the most fake-looking reviews I've seen in a while

[Marc Dylan]

I stand by my original post 100%. Yes, the second review looks real, and the escort may, in fact, be wonderful. I have been visiting this site almost since its inception, and that review is one of the most fake-looking I've ever seen, right down to the "announcement' of the 50% rate increase from the prior review. Wonderful for Mr. Dylan if he now gets $300/hour, but I find it very hard to believe that a client would write in a review "His rates are below what he deserves," even if his rates were on the lower end of the scale, rather than one of the higher rates any escort charges. If it were possible, I would easily bet with 10:1 odds that this review is a fake. It doesn't mean the escort isn't good. I have personally hired a number of escorts who, it's pretty clear to me, write their own reviews in order to supplement those written by real clients, and who were nevertheless good escorts. But if that review was written by a real client, I'm Brad Pitt.

 

Its not an increase in rate the 2nd review was a muscle worship/ massage session that ended up turning into more thanks to some good chemistry , it wasnt originally set up as an escort session thats why the rate is diffrent, i have always been able to get 300+ but that doesnt mean I have a one size fits all rate.It depends on what we are doing. I couldnt charge someone the same rate for a massage or oral play as if we were doing the full on thing. The review is real , but im pretty sure we can count on the fact that you are no Brad Pitt. Get a life for goodness sakes..

In one thread, Perez Hilton is put down for losing weight, and here an escort gets put down for getting a good review. What is happening to this site?

 

I don't think Perez Hilton was being put down for losing weight but for being an A-number one asshole who has made a career out of harming people through his blog on the internet. Let's face some reality here.

I guess this BULLSHIT about Marc Dylan is simply never going to end. There are 2, maybe 3 people here who obviously have real issues (with themselves, not Marc) and they have chosen him as their online target. It's sad. It's what makes a lot of people hate gay men because they think we're all like that. Newsflash: they're not. But it's really easy to perform hit jobs on people in the public eye without revealing who you really are or what your own experiences have been. Get over yourselves. Take Dale Carnegie's class on how not to be a douchebag and get a life already. There's a lot more out there than living in the closet in your mom's basement, peeing in a styrofoam cup, ordering pizza online, and making life difficult for nice guys trying to make a living.

Reviews that appear to be fake have always been commented on here. That this one is about Marc D and coming on the heels of a long commentary about him puts more of a spotlight on it. At his current rates NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SAY "His rates are below what he deserves". No one. Ever. And to ask this audience of distinguished and experienced clients to believe that is asking for trouble - which he is now getting. It is painfully obvious that this review is a result of the negative commentary in the previous thread about him and the knowledge that there are negative reviews on the way. At this point I hope Marc is handing out freebees to operalover21 for all this promotion and defense on his behalf, he certainly deserves it.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, however I have in fact written in reviews that I thought the escort or masseur was getting below what he deserved, In fact I have had that conversation with a porn star who I hired out of FTL. It is not in my opinion unusual in the least.

 

To say 'no one' would say that his rates are below what he deserves, assumes that you speak for me, and quite simply you do not. I have friends who have flown escorts half way around the world on a whim, without so much as a second thought as to the cost. So there are clients out there who do not consider three to four hundred dollars an hour even remotely excessive or on the high end of the hiring range. I have listened to Marc explain more than once how his pricing works. It is most fair I think. For someone like myself who requires very little sexually from an escort, I think it fair and equitable that he charge me perhaps less than someone who will demand him to perform as a bottom for hours on end.

 

As to fake reviews, well it is certainly possible that some escorts write their own reviews, but it has been my experience when I have hired some of the top escorts that they are fairly nonchalant about me writing reviews. Of the ones that have asked for a review it seemed to me that why would they even bother to ask if they intended on writing their own. I seriously doubt that someone of Marc's caliber would be in need of fluffing up his reviews.

I cant help but laugh that Im in between massasge appointments sitting here with a mcalisters sweet tea and brownie simultaneously watching the golden girls, commenting on here , and reading about the upcoming fiscal cliff . Sheesh , does being this multi talented justify and increase in rates ? JUST KIDDING , that comment may start a whole other thread without clarification.

Hmmm... I guess you wouldn't mind providing a link to one of those reviews. But, if we were thinking with our heads rather than our gonads, what would you think of a restaurant review written by a first-time reviewer on Yelp in which the reviewer said he was "inexperienced" with going to restaurants, but that he felt the restaurant, although expensive, was charging less than they ought to? I can picture someone writing something along the lines of "...although his fee is on the high end, I feel as if I had my money's worth...". But I don't see any client, let alone one with little experience in the escort world, writing the statement he did. Of course, that's not the only part of the review that feels fake. The entire review reads like an ad rather than a review. It boggles my mind that someone could read that review and not instantly identify it as a fake. If that one doesn't strike you as fake, do you ever feel as if you spot fakes? I'd be curious to see an example of a review you find looks more fake.

What an outstanding idea. You should charge by how intellectually challenging they want the conversation to be. Fox News would be a level 1, which would only be 300 per hour, however sex plus a more in depth analysis of the political arena and the price would sky rocket to say 500 plus...however sex plus discuss politics and the economy, and perhaps the political and financial impact of a Romney or Obama administration on the 'gay community' and they would simply hand you the credit card, and pen and paper so that you could write the review yourself. I am liken this. ;)

Well we obviously have reached an impasse. You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. Have a great rest of the weekend.

I can't imagine what it is like to live in your fairy tale world of everything that is "black and white." Most of the rest of us live in the real world where things are various shades of gray.

As for freebies, it really sounds like you desperately need one. Perhaps there's a similar sad, overweight douchebag on your local street corner who would be interested in you?

Would that make MSNBC a freebie so Apprentice James could afford it?

[Marc Dylan]

Boy , you are a sad excuse for a person . Your unhappiness and bitterness radiate through your commentary. Maybe if I let you do any and everything to me for $200 bucks you would speak in glowing terms about me .... Sorry bub it aint gonna happen. Get over it. The fact that there are guys willing to pay more

not complain and enjoy themselves should not upset you, simply move on . Your negitivity and hostility are just plain sad. ( and i have news for you 300-350 is about the going rate in NYC, LA, SF anyway and there are guys who exceed that by quite a bit). Let me ask you a question , take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what you would charge the guy looking back at you ... whats the rate? If your looks mirror your personality im sure it would be much more than 300bucks.

Howdy, just wanted to tell you that the check for you monthly retainer is on the way , and i think i owe you 5 freebies too. Some of these guys are just sad . Hope you are doing well

LOL. I just about spit my decaf espresso right out of my mouth ... I doubt if Apprentice James stood on the street corner naked that he could get even 5 cents for his bitterness. Bitterness is usually free.

Just send it to my business manager as usual. Starting next month, my rate is going up so I hope you're prepared for that. You still owe me that free trip to Paris. I'll expect it after November 7th when I hope I'll be celebrating

Oh, i forgot about that trip paris I think we should do japan instead . All that rich parisian food, you know what they say "a moment on the lips forever on the hips" .

I think you are right, but no ordinary pen and paper will do for such an important task... Only my custom monogrammed "Marc Dylan" linen paper and gold montblanc pen will be acceptable. However I could never write my own review.. something this salient requires the commissioning of the world's greatest writers.

 

PS. James if you are wondering what salient means ... important

I think an inexperienced client is more likely to gush over a great experience. And although personality does enter into the equation, someone with less experience may be more likely to have his expectations exceeded.

perhaps. to 'gush' is just a natural thing when you feel strongly about the meet. there's nothing wrong with that. an escorts main job is to make me feel good and if I gush over him, he's done his job well.

 

so far, I've heard no real evidence that any of this young man's reviews are fake. just hear say and speculation without much backing up. as is the norm around here, there are many bitter personalities who would rather run off the few escorts we have left than act civil. don't piss and moan when you've got no one left to talk to but yourselves.

Seeker is right. We've seen other inexperienced clients write "gushing" reviews and have other contributors to the board ridicule the writer.

 

While some of our posters have more experience hiring escorts, it appears they forget how big of a hurdle it was even think about hiring, the months of looking at ads and hanging up on the first ring, and the second thoughts about hiring in the time leading up to the encounter. And to have a first hiring session that goes well, it is easy to see how expectations are exceeded. And who is this person going to tell about the great experience? Daddy's Reviews provides a great forum to relive the experience when you can't simply tell your best friend that you hired an escort.

 

When I started reading this forum, it was to learn about hiring. I came to learn about being a better client, what should my expectations be, and what is assumed and what to ask for. I've learned quite a bit; but if my first posts or review had been attacked, it is likely I would have climbed back into the closet and never opened the door.

Sadly it has become apparent that certain persons here do not wish for others to voice opinions that they do not agree with. I have nothing against Marc Dylan as a person and this is not a vendetta. The review in question does look fake, the statement we've pointed out IS odd, and there are more than a couple of people who share these observations. The original poster didn't even participate in the previous thread about MD. What I find to be disconcerting AGAIN are the personal attacks and epithets being hurled in defense, as if the totally juevenile name calling will in some way alter the facts or change the perceptions of those who are commenting. There is nothing bitter, mean-spirited or aggressive in pointing out and commenting on a questionable review, and doing so does not constitute that the writer is an unhappy person living a sad life in his mother's basement (a comment that has been made several times in threads concerning Marc Dylan). As is often the case with weak intellects and personalities when an argument cannot be made intelligently they lash out in order to cover up what is lacking. And I would like to state that I am NOT refering to Marc himself whom I have found to be a nice person who contributes positively here - the one exception being his post begining "Boy, you are a sad excuse for a person" - but he deserves a pass because it must not be easy to have to deal with all of this when you're the person in question.

Well, you may be honest in other spheres in your life, but in this case you are simply factually incorrect. Of course, rates in NYC and LA are irrelevant to this discussion, but I looked up the rates of the 111 escorts currently advertising in SF on rentboy. Of these, exactly 7 are asking for $300, and there is one and only one escort who is asking for more (MarcusMojo is asking for $600--good luck on that). There are three and a half times as many escorts advertising on rentboy in SF at this time who are asking for less than $200, 24 to be exact. $200 is by far the most common asking rate. Of course, I'm not one to say that a particular escort might not be worth $300. But the statement that $300-$350 is the going rate in SF is simply a false statement. Fewer than one in ten escorts is asking for $300, and almost none more than that.

I was just in LA a few weeks ago and as a numbers guy I did some looking at rates there for ads on Rentboy before I went. While LA may not be relevant to the current discussion, when I saw the comment on going rates for various cities, including LA, I thought I would share my findings at that snapshot in time. All rates are for outcalls.

 

243 ads, 170 with rates, 73 without rates (i.e. ask me)

 

Overall average rate: $245

 

Average rate with removing outlying rates (3@$120 and 2@$500): $244

 

Most Frequent:

 

$200 - 43

$250 - 43

$300 - 31

 

No commentary as to if any particular rate is reasonable or not for any specific escort.

 

And as far as the current original topic, I personally think the review is likely legit but everyone has to make their own assessment. I can easily see an over exuberant first reviewer giving such a review.
