[new] Trouble getting people to contact me?

[+ OliverSaks]

I wouldn't get too worried about your hair - everyone has preferences and you can't please everyone.

[Jose305]

I like to imagine my hair is much better than Kim Jong Un's

 

((But do u really think my hair is the issue bc I guess I can sacrifice and change it ))

You look great man , who ever made that comment was a troll who needs to move on or get reported!

Thank you for the compliment <3 <3

 

Many see your hair as something to grab on to . I like minimal or bald hair on the top of the head as my preference, but there's likes for everybody.

I don't know why until oaktown brought it up i didn't even think about hair and different preferences haha , makes sense!

[MiamiLooker]

You started to get exposure already by being here. As a client, I've always wanted to be with an FTM man, too bad you're not in the south Florida area

Why let the distance get in your way? Roundtrip airfare from Philadelphia to Miami is only about $175.

Hi all, I am pretty new, trying to get into escorting. I am struggling to get people to contact me and I am unsure why. Would ya'll mind looking at my profile to let me know if there are some huge errors I am making? rent.men/misterlobo

 

I just posted on skipthegames and hookedin tonight also so I am hoping that increases my visibility. Another issue is I think my first contact with people after they contact me is turning them off? Is there a certain way I should reply to them if all they say is "hey" (via text) ?

 

other info: im a transguy and ppl have told me thats a really niche product so I might have to wait longer but I am concerned that Im the issue still and not really being a transguy?

 

Thanks for the help

 

Be patient -- You are a what marketing professional think of as Enticing to a NICHE Market -- and should look to see if there are non-mainstream places RM type places to tap into your market base.

 

Please understand that is not a slight--- Think of it as akin to a Chub Escort advertising to Muscle Dudes only -- Not a large crossover of mutual interests there.

I like this point you bring up

Thank you, I am trying to see if other places would be good to have in addition to RM. I tried BP but got really uncomfortable fairly quickly even though the amount of people contacting was significantly higher. It seemed like a bunch of trolls or just really rude people were hitting me up

Have you come across any (even if not ftm specific or anything but where more niche markets are?)

 

You look wonderful!

 

Aw thanks Keith <3

How did you get your facial hair though? Hormones? I am asking because I really want to know. Thanks.

MrLobo -- Your Instincts are serving you well --- BACKPAGE seems to attract a lot of dangerous lowlife characters - who rarely follow through and if they do may pose a serious danger to your physical well being. I know we all have different tastes - But here in Philly - BP seems to cater to those who Pride themselves on Being or Playing - THUGS/RAW ONLY/GHETTO-GANGSTA Types-Wannabees --- I enjoy men of all races and ethnicities - but I find no attraction to men who think it is sexy to be or portray oneself as a criminal/drug dealer/or violent

 

Craigslist is not a Panacea but if you try and vette the clients - insist on a public meet it SEEMS (totally without statistical analysis as a basis for this assertion) to be safer.

 

I say this about CL because I have actually met several people - one professional gentleman who I knew from elsewhere and I recognized the Stats and Ad copy --- along with Several other horny guys who just wanted to play.

 

Whereas as no one I contacted from BP was EVER willing to meet in public -- the Men I met from CL -- who were real

had no problem - meeting at a Fast Food Place -- In Front of a Target Store -- A Mall Restaurant -- and about 80% of those meets worked out into fun meetings - with some repeats and add-on (i.e. I was seeing a Professional Gentleman and he or I or both wanted a third -- And they fit)

 

Just my opinion based on limited experience,

 

The Most Important Thing is to be Safe in your dealings with health and personal security - I wish you a safe and profitable

journey -- You have already demonstrated to yourself and to the world that you have tremendous internal strength and drive

to have completed your transition to date!

 

Peace and joy be with you

Yes! I have been on hormones for a few years now and facial hair grew due to it. Amount is totally variable (on genetics) of course so it is not a guarantee from the hormones alone (same with balding, etc)

Thank you so much for sharing all that information about your experience with BP and CL ! I will take that into account if I think about posting on CL

 

And thank you transitioning has definitely been a journey but so worth it to be myself

If I were you I wouldn't use BP or even CL. Sadly you read of all these cases of transgender people being beaten and killed on the news. BP definitely has a reputation of attracting criminals, flakes and fakes - and you definitely don't want to end a statistic. I checked RM and there's only 16 (including yourself) identifying as transgender so it's a definitely a nitch BUT short years back there was O zero, zippo, nada FTM advertising on RM so it's slowly getting there

Lobo, why don't you throw your hat in the ring at Seeking Arrangements?

That's what made me dip out on it so quickly. I was already iffy about posting on it and everyone contacting me was a troll or made me uncomfortable, it didn't take long for me to take it down. But I was also recommended to it by people when asking around where I should post which made me go for it. Currently I am not very inclined to post on either site :/

And hopefully it catches on to those who do want to be with transmen that u can find us on rentmen haha

I do have a profile up there ! Its pretty dead it seems though for the Philly area for men. Very few 'sugar daddies/mommas' that have been active and while im rarely ever on the site when I am I rarely get any views
