Profile Information

[Michael Paul]

Hey guys.... I have a rather lengthy profile on RentMen... it's all fun stuff sort of describing what I can do for clients as well as my physcial appearance. My availability dates, being that I do have a job other than escorting.

Do clients prefer short and simple profiles or detailed profiles ?

[Samfoslom]

shorter is better. Whatever you do, don't have a paragraph that's 10 lines or so of text. As a potential client, I would appreciate a lot of detail about you and the stuff you describe, but not in the ad. I find it very effective when the escort has a webpage, and the ad refers the client there for the added info and a picture gallery.

To me detailed profiles are very helpful in getting a sense of someone's personality and the nature of the experience I might have with them.

 

I find those of Eric Hassan, Mike Gaite and Lance Navarro (to name a few) to be very informative.

On the other hand, when I read this profile I really have no clue what to expect.

 

Before I decide to make an appointment with a companion I try to figure out how I will feel afterward - the profile is the means by which I do that.

 

Personal sites and Twitters are very useful to me if they help give me insight into someone's nature and motivations. As an example, https://tylerthebadwolf.com/ is great (and also an interesting read). Likewise with http://cydstvincent.com/

A profile should give the client a sense of your personality and what he could expect. Profiles that are just a sentence or two don't do that. Also, a pet peeve of mine is spelling and grammar. Make sure what you write is spelled right and grammatically correct. Personally, that's a turn off for me since it conveys carelessness. Escorting is a business and should be treated as such. I also read the interviews on RM. Lots of useful information for the client can be conveyed there.

Good information to know..

Unless they make it clear they are non-native English speakers. I have a great deal of empathy for the guys who are still learning English. I can only imagine how my profile would read if I tried to write it Spanish!

Of course. I was talking about native English speakers.

I like details. But Im old and old-fashioned.

 

If it doesnt appear on the initial sceen-window on their phone, without scrolling, many people arent going to see it.

 

Its just the way of the world.. the information age has shortened attention spans.

[MikeyGMin]

I did see a cute one that just said, "We both know why we are here. Give me a call." There were good pictures and not a bunch of "ask me" so it might work for him.

I can't imagine a downside to more information. If I don't want to read it I don't have too. The basics are all along the right column. One thing I hate in any profiles (RM, A4A, etc) is a lot of negatives, especially something like "No blocked numbers". Shouldn't everyone just consider that a default now days? Other things like "No time wasters", etc., etc. What a waste of ad copy space.

That, for me, shows they are focused on themselves. The fact that there are window shoppers that waste your time is your issue, not the potential client's.

 

If someone is wasting your time, stop responding to them or block them. As with all businesses, you go through a lot of potentials to find a customer.

I agree there's no real downside of more info for the reader.

 

The downside for the writer is "yeesh! Why are these people asking questions I've already answered in my profile?"

This is really good to know.... a potential client can ask me anything. Even if I have already mentioned it in my profile. I want them to be at ease with me.

Gentlemen with all do respect read the last sentence!!!! The world is changing whether you like it or not. Some here will say,"Well I will spend my money only with those who spell correctly! or who give a 5 page bio!" You know what? Most dont give a shit. As you babble on and on you will hear back less and less from the top of the line escorts. I know except Michael Paul. Saved u the trouble.

A few things I'd like to add:

 

• First and foremost, create an ad that fits you. If you like to provide details, then, by all means, do so. However, if you write a long ad make sure you write complete sentences, avoid run-on sentences, and make sure you use punctuation. Can't speak for others, but the big block o' text makes my mouse click that tiny "x" to close the browser tab.
  
• AVOID USING ALL CAPS and sENseLeSs miXEd CAsE
  
• Your ad is an opportunity to sell us on you. Tell us about you, not about what we as potential clients shouldn't do. The exception, IMO, is a policy about safer sex and drug use. If you don't bareback or do drugs, then it is important to say that. However, keep it friendly and positive. "I don't do drugs and I ask the same of my clients while in my presence" is a whole lot different than "No tweakers."
  
• Read your ad and ask yourself whether you would hire yourself based on your ad.
  
• Read other ads and ask yourself whether you would hire the advertiser. Don't write what turns you off and write what doesn't.

Great response....

[+ VictorPowers]

Short/sweet and to the point. Give them a taste if who you are on your profile, yet let them crave more.

[mike carey]

You certainly do that @VictorPowers!

[TruthBTold]

Don't put in your text something that is in your profile portion. For example, if you only do safe encounters then check the Safe Only part of your profile. Don't repeat the same thing in the text. Especially don't say "I don't do bareback so don't even ask me." I don't think it is a good way to set a tone.

I think your profile strikes a good balance. Most important thing is that it reflects your personality and is not needlessly long-winded or rambling. Yours is friendly, sexy and gets to the point. As is @VictorPowers profile ... each profile gives a good sense of the guy behind the pics.

 

I'll add that given the short attention spans, as mentioned by others in this thread, don't assume everyone has read through your entire profile (or read it at all) when they contact you. While some guys will have read every word and statistic, others will have only looked at your pictures and will contact you directly with questions that have already been addressed in your profile. Just politely answer their questions, and whatever you do don't respond with "it's all in my profile, didn't you read it?" Something makes me think you know better than that, but just putting it out there all the same.

Very sage advice.

 

I can tell you that I ALWAYS confirm the rate. Only once I received the response "it is in the ad." I laughed and said "the ATM doesn't know whether the stated rate is current" he laughed and apologized.

Great response....

Thank you.

I will always answer any question, being upfront and honest... even if it is in my profile. Those guys that respond with 'It's in My Proflie" ... I'm my mind are Just arrogant.
