Does anyone have street smart advice?

[+ DrownedBoy]

Just what it says. I never really had any experience hiring on the street.

 

Does anyone here have more experience, such as stories (good or bad), advice, and the general rules of the game?

[Guy Fawkes]

I hate to be bearer of bad news; The street scene died out a long time ago. I don't think anybody here will be willing to go there.

The guys working the street have gone by way of the public pay phone.

Those were the days. East 53rd Street in NYC, right outside of about four gay bars. Oh God, I was terrible.

In Sout America streets still are hunting ground.

I have heard that there are still a number of very suspicious, drug using guys on the streets surrounding the gay village in montreal. Perhaps someone else could shed more light on this. Of course, every strip club has some dancers and some guys in the clubs who will escort from time to time. All I can say is they are all amateurs. You can have fun with some, but it is hit and miss. Others might have something to say about this as well.

OK if street hustlers have gone extinct, what about bar hustlers? They're always better anyway. Any hustler bars left?

I spent 35 years trolling Santa Monica Blvd. and Western for crossdressers and 18- 25 year boys. The dressers are still out there and every once I'm awhile I'll service a heavy shooter. Sorry but there aren't any decent boys hustling anymore. I adapted. I'm spending $80 to swallow an asian load on Thursday. I met him in backpage. Small dick but decent load for a pro.

Street scene is still present in NYC if you know where and how to look. Not for those who aren't street savvy, I'll tell you that much.

 

I recently saw an older guy get punched right on Broadway in Washington heights at about 3am by what I'm 95% sure was a street hustler.

There are hustlers that hang out near the major gay bars in the USA. How ever they are sporadic. You are better off hiring form rentmen or men4rentnow. Unless you like the excitement of the "chase".

There is no reason nowadays to pick up someone from the street, being that you can do everything from the convenience of your home. You can just about DO everything online. I think the closest to picking up someone from the street is finding someone at a club and taking them home.

 

I once was walking in the west village alone and some middle aged guy approached me and started talking to me and saying he had an apartment nearby for us to play in. I admire his confidence but 2 years ago I wasn't escorting that actively but maybe if he asked now I would :D. I just wouldn't do it on the street because you don't know if someone is truly an escort and don't want to risk offending someone or getting punched lol. But just look for a youngish guy hanging alone at night in a corner of the street and subtly flirt with him and see where it leads

This past August I was in Montreal for two weeks and visited the Village almost every day and some evenings. One evening I was sauntering down the street and a man smiled at me as we passed going in opposite directions. I was curious and turned my head while he reversed and walked back to me. We had some desultory conversation which turned to things sexual after a few minutes and then to him telling me to accompany him to a nearby hotel which rents rooms by the hour and we could have some hot times. I said I wasn't interested but he still hung on and was a bit insistent. When we were about one block from Papineau I said I was returning to the place where I was staying and thanked him for his company. It was obvious by his expression that he was pissed. I later

learned that I was very wise in not going with him and the hotel where he wanted to go to is really not that safe a place.

Santa Monica Blvd. back in the day ( 1980s) was a delectable buffet of the sexiest boys. You missed the heydays of the street hustler.

[adannyboy]

Lol at ppl thinking the street scene is dead.

Danny....seeing two boys outside a bar looking for tricks, is not what we are talking about. You used to be able to drive down Santa Monica and take your pick of 100 hot young things.

[adannyboy]

I'm not either. I don't doubt the number used to be higher. But it's far from dead.

You make a broad denial of the death, yet offer no example.

What would motivate anybody to work on the streets in the US these days?

What would motivate anybody to work on the streets in the US these days?

Hitting rock bottom and not even having enough money to rent an apartment, and place a rentman ad? Or being so young an experienced about it not to realize that doing the above is likely to get you more income in the medium term?

I don't know about specifically on the streets - but recently I was at a strip club and during a private dance I had a very specific conversation with a dancer. He told me that he wanted me to tell him what I wanted, anything and everything. He wanted specifics so we could have a good night once the place closed. The reason I found this interesting and consider it close to this subject is this person does not have any online ads or presence.

 

A conversation regarding this after basically summed up that he doesn't do it very often, doesn't want his information online, and he is selective on the people he would do anything with. This is the closest I've ever found to anything on the street scene. This is probably attributed to me being new to this and the street presence seeming to die out before I ever considered hiring someone.

Money.

There have been several mentions of "you gotta know how to find them. The best was @Rapaz's

[escortrod]

Money.

 

So it's potentially more lucrative than online?

[adannyboy]

Not more, but at least something is coming in. Guys who do street work have ads too. But we've all complained about ads getting 100,000,000 "views" and no calls.

These guys are just proactive about their income.

Trade offs include increased risk of violence/police harassment and less money per transaction.

Still haven't heard any examples of where this active street scene is taking place.

Won't come from me. I'm not foolish enough to out street activity on a public forum. Especially when I know the LAPD does regular street sweeps.
