Is this normal, or just a bad streak of luck?

I started hiring escorts three years ago. I was adding them up and have been with 25 different guys. I have done overnite or weekend sessions with 12 of them. I have flown 8 of them to me for our time together. The first four meetings went perfect. The last four have been no-shows. One called me about a week before our meeting and "remembered" he had promised his mother "that he had to babysit his little brother, while she did volunteer work for Katrina viictims". He promised to deduct the airfare for a rescheduled meeting. When I contacted him about four months later, he didn't remember me, so I never persued it futher. The next one didn't show because of a "forgotten dental procedure". The next once didn't show because "he was on probation, and was scared to tell me". The last one was just a no-contact no-show. Three of the four, were all positive reviewed escorts on this and Daddy's site.

So I am at a 50 percent "success" level for my sessions involving the escort traveling to me. I prefer to hire younger (20-25)looking types, so I know I have a little more "risk" involved, as most of them are fairly new to escorting, but is this ratio the norm? I would like to hear from some other guys who mostly fly guys in, and hopefully have had better success . Thanks

I have flown guys in for various trips for a long time. One thing I have done is that I find an airfare for them and tell them to book it. When the get to me, I'll pay them for the the fare when we get to the hotel room. I don't pay for that fare in advance.

If it is someone I know and have been with several times, I may pay for the airfare myself and when I do this, I use miles. That way if they cancel, I can call and cancel and get my miles redeposited.

When you deal with younger guys 18-25, you really have to be careful. Often it is not out of meanness they don't show, it is lack of organization, motivation or even having a bad hair day. All of those are just part of the experience.

I have rarely been jilted with overnights or with weekend guests. It has happened but it is rare.

Last year at Carnival, I took a 19 year old muscle boy from Sao Paulo to Rio for Carnival. I have been with him 40 times in Sao Paulo. When he got to Rio he was so excited and happy. At night, he got sad. The next day he was crying. He wanted to go back to Sao Paulo. He was really sorry but said he wanted no money just to go back. I said fine. I gave him his rate for the 2 days and a ticket back to Sao Paulo. He was very homesick. I had book 2 nights at Carnival and one night at Scala Gay with him and another boy. His ticket was used by someone else. But, at a cost of 7500 Real per ticket, it was a shame to spend it on someone other than the one I wanted to spend it with. Shit happens. I have seen him since and we have had a wonderful time. He says he wants to go back to Rio with me but I have yet to let that happen. I will one day but not on such an expensive weekend.

I suggest that your experiences are not unique. It happens. You have to just be willing to go with the flow and move on from there. To help with this, come up with a plan of action where you are not out all your money up front for someone coming to you.

Beetwo: Like you, many of my hires are travel dates. I have arranged tons of these (I am almost embarrassed to say how many... lol).

Over the course of those, I have had 3 no shows. So, yes there is risk. Yours is 4/25... which isn't horrible... but obviously not great either. The bad thing is that they are all in a row. Probably easier to tolerate if they had been spread out over time.

Go to chinatown, hire a dancing lion, and get rid of those evil spirits.

Seriously... if you really enjoy what you're doing. Don't get discouraged. In my opinion, the positive experiences are more rewarding than the negative experiences are bothersome (except for those who get robbed/assaulted).

Sorry for your bad fortune. In searching for a positive element amid the negative vibes, it occurs to me that you could do the readers of this forum a favor by telling us the names of those who treated you so shabbily. I think their names ought to be out there, but as I remember, Management is not prepared to treat reports of no-shows as full-fledged reviews. Publishing the names here would not expose them to as wide an audience as the reviews provide, but it would be beneficial to a lot more people than not revealing them at all.

Do you have anything against doing it? Also important, does Management have anything against your doing it?

P.S. Oops! My bid above to make the world a better place was posted over an hour ago, before I read the new addition to the Latest column. I'm glad to see this happening. Though, as has been pointed out in the Buffet, I'm not sure I would call the non-encounter fantastic.

OZ are you saying you have the escort pay the airfare themselves and then you reimburse them?? I would be shocked that an escort would do this for a first time client? Are you referring to escorts you have developed a relationship with.

[TotallyOz]

Both. If it is a new guy for me, I am often not willing to pay for airfare until I know them. If I am close to them, I will hire them for a few hours first. If I have to pay for the airfare, I ask for ID verification and I book the ticket myself. That being said, I don't often hire someone with that I have not seen without a good recommendation from a friend. Often, I'll tell the escort to check with the other client and ask about me. I am sure they tell them they can trust me and that I am very easy as a client.

It really all depends on where you meet someone and how you know them. If I just saw someone off an escort site I wanted to hire, I would likely not just fly them to me. I would ask Marc Anthony or someone else to visit with them on their travels and tell me about them. haha But, there have been some cases that I have flown to see the escort.

I have often hired through escort services and feel much more comfortable with this with someone I have not met. I have used Campus in NYC and Premiere in Philly and 2 agencies in Chicago that are no longer in existence. I have little problem hiring from a service.

For an independent, I really am leery if I don't know them or if a good friend doesn't know them.

I did reviews on two of them. One said he retired, and if he starts escorting again, I will post a review. The last one, from atlanta, I am still trying to meet. After I told him I had his real name(for the ticket I bought) he said he will meet at a reduced fee. I just haven't found a time that works for me to see him yet. I will be traveling to him though, probably this fall.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I will say that while I have had some disappointment , I have never been discouraged. In each case, I have found some other "fun" to have. Life is too short, and I am having too much fun, for these no-shows to bother me too much.
