Escort's name as appeal factor

[jeezifonly]

It seems to me that a greater number of escorts shy away from a stage name that is just a name, but instead a description - examples might be "MonsterDickHottie" "PhatAzzBoy" (I made these up so no links to real profiles). How much does this affect whether or not u check his add? And beyond, choosing to hire him over, say, a pro with all the same boxes ticked named " John Smythe"

Not at all.

The opposite is more true for me. Stupid names like that make me less likely to click their ad. I realize I'm probably in the minority.

Then label me minority too

And there is the trifecta of badness - a ridiculous name and photos of giving the finger and talking on the phone.

[Pepper Young]

Some names are silly but if I'm interested in the guy and he ticks off all the right boxes, doesn't matter.

I much prefer "just a name". The thought of calling out "Oh yes monsterdickhottie, yes!" in the heat of the moment is too ridiculous to contemplate without a margarita in hand. Okay, 3 margaritas.

Doesn't do anything for me and I usually move on from their ad. Not sure who they trying to appeal to?

Agreed. Now, if the guy really has appeal for me besides that, I might ask what name he'd prefer to go by when we were actually together - if he doesn't give a "regular" name at that point, I might not go any further.

 

Obviously made-up names do tend to annoy me. For instance, though I've heard many good things about Karsin Knightly, I just find that pseudonym too over the top, and very unappealing. I don't mind fake names that sound like they could actually be real - but I don't like names that seem to try too hard, or names that sound way too much like cheap porn names.

 

Also, as I think many people might, I have a certain affinity for certain common male first names - it could be because of someone else I know with that name, or that the name just feels sexy (I've always thought that Kevin is a very hot name, for instance) - so if an escort's first name has some special appeal to me, I'm bound to want to give him a look.

We each have various components that go into constructing our individual fantasy, right? When getting slammed into the headboard as I am wont to do as part of mine... I simply cannot call out a name that could not also be called out by Blanche Devereaux

"Hi, is King Anaconda AssSlammer there? I'm calling about the Backpage ad." Yeah.

[amused1]

For a moment I thought you were going to go with Blanche Hudson. Ha!

[dcbbvers]

I have also found that the names that arent names are always harder to research -- so I am hesitant to follow up as well.

Typically, the "names that are names" are more appealing to me. On the other hand, "Hung9x7Cums4x" would catch my eye.
