I recently had a great idea (or so it seemed) to make money doing something I enjoy - that being to spend time in the company of women.....having dinner, flirting, going out or indeed whatever the job entailed. So off I set on my merry way to investigate how I would go about this. A quick search found lots of companies clamering for my services. Great I thought....this is going to be easy, I will probably even be able to be selective here. A little more digging and I found that all of these agencies, whether they advertised as such or not, wanted some of my already hard earned in return for sending work my way. Now call my cynical but I would am incredibly suspicious that once I had handed over my cash that would be the last I heard from my employer, until of course they required some more cash.
Anyway, I didn't go any further forward but I thought this would be a good place to ask whether anybody had any experiences in this field. That includes ladies too who may have employed the services of an escort. Having browsed around this place for a little while though I wonder why any females would like to do that in light of the significant number of males around here relative to females....but maybe I'm missing something here from the female perspective. Maybe employing an escort, for company or anything more, would be a power trip that would appeal, who knows, but I'd love to hear.

Er, that's what agents do. They find jobs for you and charge a fee for the service. Do you expect them to work for free?
Male escorting isn't big buisiness like the female side of it ......unless your prepared to swing both ways! wink

Not strictly true. A male escort can earn hundreds of pounds a night accompanying ladies to business/society functions etc. And he has to do a lot more than just turn up: He has to be a stylish, cultured, educated, charming, well spoken gentleman who is confident in formal company, a good conversationalist, knows how to wear a suit and which knife to use for the paté etc. Many successful escorts use it as a springboard onto the after dinner speaking circuit, which is mind-bogglingly lucrative.
The requirement to "swing both ways" applies to prostitutes, not escorts because not many women pay for sex. I'm not saying 'proper' escorts don't have sex with their clients, many of them do, but by that stage their time, rather than their body, is already bought and paid for and sex isn't regarded as part of the service.

it's obvious then,that not any old joe can be a male escort.
I would not expect it to be easy and I would not expect any old rough neck could rock up in torn jeans with bad hair and expect to walk away with a wallet full of cash.
Are there reputable agencies out there that only ask for a cut of any cash that you make rather than just wanting an up front fee??
As for going to the dark side - I'll leave that to those who may enjoy it.

True, which is why most agents work on a commission only basis: They don't want to be lumbered with working for someone who will never get enough work to pay them a retainer. And frankly, they (the agents) can afford to be choosey about who they work for because they'll make more money out of one top drawer guy than twenty losers.

Yes, most agents work on commission only, but they will be quite brutal in deciding whether to work for you. If they don't think they can get lots of rich ladies to queue up for you, they won't try very hard on your behalf... they will concentrate their efforts on the gentlemen who can make the most money. Dog eat dog. smile
I also looked into male escorting a few years back in an inquisitive way and can give you my opinions.
1] Any company asking for an upfront agency fee is almost certainly banking on you being born yesterday. This is not for debate In my view.
2] 99% of escorts are female and largely hetrosexual (many advertise as bi to widen the scope of potential customers who may want a MFF). These women are prostitutes. There is rarely any dinner-dating etc involved, its sex in a hotel or in your home etc. Only Richard Gere in Pretty Women paid for a few days company!
3] There is a male escorting market. It is largely gay. So this is a male gay prostitute or the same as a rent-boy (loosely speaking).
4] There is a very small market for male hetrosexual escorts. The amount of women paying for sex is tiny compared to their male counterparts.
Women escorts can "service" upto 10+ men per day, whilst men are unlikely to be able to perform anywhere near those levels. Kamagra etc may have changed that a little. Again women are not going to pay hundreds of pounds for a dinner companion. The Richard Gere counterpart may do but they are few and far between.
5] To be an escort of any sex/gender, you will need to be sexually appealling. We are talking George Clooney not George Formby or Julia Roberts not Audrey Roberts. So its not a job for just anyone.
As I said at the top these are just my opinions and to some extent findings. Good luck!!
When it comes to gay male escorts there are loads of websites and a few magazines where a guy can advertise his services so that agencies are quite unnecessary (although they do exist). Unless one is quite exceptional, I think it would be just about impossible to make escorting a full-time career even for only 1 or 2 years.
You are being far too general in your assumption that all escorting is about sex.
It isn't. There is a distinction between escorts and prostitutes. There is in fact a very healthy market for men required to accompany ladies to social functions. Successful, single career women who either don't want or don't have time for permanent relationships nevertheless want male company, and when they're paying for a gentleman's time, they have very high expectations of his social skills. Trust me, a pretty face and a big cock are simply nowhere near what it takes to be a successful male escort. I recognise that most prostitutes refer to themselves as escorts, but they are not who I'm talking about.

Well Ice, your average female escort charges £150 per hour. To hire a someone for lets say a meal and 4 hours company would be £600 plus the meal plus drinks plus transport. So a £700+ evening to be with someone you will probably have never met before and may not like.
Those are the cold facts. Male escorts may charge a liitle less but you start seeing how small the potential demand for this service is. The agent will take around half the fee so the escort gets about £300 to demonstrate how they can hold a knife and fork properly!
Show me where the back of the queue is!

OK cricket, have it your way, I'm not going to argue about it. All I can tell you is that I have some experience of the industry and you underestimate the demand for it. smile
(Half? I never got anywhere near half sad )
Ice - I'm intrigued now. Tell us more
To clarify my case, the company side of the escorting would be almost exclusively what I would expect and prefer to get involved with and am sure that your earlier point about time being paid for rather than sex is a very valid one. We all have dream jobs and I'm convinced that combining something you enjoy with something you get paid for really must be worth serious investigation. I love spending time with women, I'm sure I can be charming, say the appropriate things at social functions and make the person I am with feel comfortable and special which is what I think the whole thing is about and what Ice is trying to say.
Hope this isn't just a pipe dream. Ice if there's anybody you can put me in touch with I'd appreciate that.

Ice - I'm intrigued now. Tell us more.

I worked for several months as an account manager at an agency. It works pretty much like any other agency - temping, theatrical, model, literary, whatever. Five of the agency's gentlemen were assigned to me and I matched them up with ladies (and sometimes gentlemen) who needed dinner partners etc. I advised them on any specific requirements the client might have, what type of event they were attending, dress code and so on. Occasionally I had to stand in for gentlemen who were not available, but I really wasn't in their league. They really were top notch.
I was paid a salary plus five percent of revenue on my accounts by the agency, plus tips from the gentlemen I worked with. What the agency itself got varied, but among the accounts I dealt with, the average was twenty percent. On the occasions that I understudied, I got the fee agreed between the agency and the client, minus the agency's cut, plus my five percent.
I used to share the same barbers shop (yes i had hair once)with a Male Escort ( his nick name swiftly became Jig -short for Gigolo ) Although he did have a day job , he made a reasonable sum every now and then for his skills . As Pie says his duites were equally about sartorial elegance , conversation and intelligence as they were about rumpy pumpy ( although make no mistake it was often part of the expectation) . However I will disagree slightly with the Pie Man . Ice obviously has some experience here so i wont directly contradict him , but from what i understood the market is a very limited one , meaning that only the very very best can actually make a decent living from it . You need to have it all in spades to be a male escort ( in the true sense of the word as opposed to rent boy ) and even though some guys have had a modicum of success and a few nice evenings from it the general view seemed to be it was incredibly difficult to make it as a full time pro .
For what its worth male or female I dont think prostitution is a desirable career choice .

I didn't mean to imply otherwise. It is limited in terms of who can be successful at it, but for those who have what it takes, it's a goldmine. Make no mistake, on the occasions I substituted due to non-availability, it was as a last resort, at a knock down price, and a last ditch attempt to stop the client going elsewhere. There is no way I would ever have been as successful as the guys i was working for.
Yeah sorry mate your last post explained that , but we typed at the same time :-)
