Well, there is your new business model right there. No freebies. Half the guys that you have been messing around with would have paid you, given the opportunity.

Sorry if this is not what you want to hear but he sounds like so many guys who think they can get one over on us 'uneducated desperate hookers' by buying a meal or two or taking us out then getting sex on tap for free. Unfortunately you have just proven that some can.

But recall, I have had 'several' clients attempt to befriend me and invite me back over for 'freetime, dinner and a swim'. I have had guys offer up overnights 'just to sleep'. I took up on the offers only twice, in my newbie day (my 2nd client) and with this guy.

By all means, Im trying hard not to. But I live in a city where people are so cheap, they dont even want to care to pay even if they are butt ugly...and on the other hand you have cheap rate hookers advertising themselves as 'escorts' or 'massage therapist'. Many of them are so unprofessional, and Im sure this town has gotten used to cheap ho's coming back around to be blissed up for free.

Yes, it may have painfully rubbed off on me...but by no means am I an example that clients can get over on me for free.

But these guys are in the younger 20s. I doubt they'd be willing to pay. In additon, I have tried 'advertising' myself on the dating sites....and even the older men are too cheap to pay.

What if word gets around that if you play it right you get free sex. Now I am not saying become a nun but I think you need to look at your business and your recent encounters without emotion and see where you are going wrong.

For me giving away something that I normally charge for has to be in certain situations (commited relationship or casual affair where they have no idea that I am a whore) and anything else is people taking advantage.

especially if you are drawing your clientele from the same community.

But Im not...I stopped advertising on the escort section of the 'sex hookup site' earlier this month because it does not bring me any clients anymore. All those perverted guys on there want free, cheap sex and it makes me so damn angry      

It doesn't kill the escort industry, but it attracts guys who are tightwads and just want to get their damn rocks off.

But surely, if the gay community in your area is so small, then it follows that some of them are your clients. And if they can't get free sex in the dating section, then they would have to pay someone, surely?

I went through a phase of promiscuity in my early twenties. I think for some its just part of growing up..I must admit though, I look back now and kick myself for not charging

Joey, when you mention your advertising and your clients, it sounds like it's all a bit mixed up. Are you trying to attract clients who originally typed something like "free gay hookup" into Google? I can't believe there's a 'paid' section on a free site, what a dreadful place to be advertising - the guys there are going to browse over and then browse right back to the free studs. Stopping in between to send you an insulting email asking you to do them for free so they can feel special about getting a freebie from a pro, but that's probably about it. And if I were a legit client looking for some really special, classy/up-scale company (sorry to use such a cliched term!) I'd be really confused if I was browsing www.freesexbutsomeguysyoumighthavetogivecashto.com.

I put 'gay escort Texas' into Google and got a bunch of results (and pictures of hot guys which is, ahem, beside the point) that to be honest, not even knowing where to begin, I'm not sure how to interpret. But at least it shows there's more than one site to advertise on. I think perhaps not looking for clients amongst the guys who are hanging around the bargain bin might be a good first step - it seems silly but I've found it's really true, you've got to market yourself directly to the best clients, no matter how obvious it seems to me that I'm awesome and all clients should instantly know to go to my site. I think clients looking for a bit of something special really do want even their initial contact with your site/profile to be impressive - I know you hardly have money to spare right now, Joey, but could a paid advert on a super-slick site be worth doing at least in future so you aren't dealing with so many guys just looking for casual unpaid sex?

And yes to your last comment - once you've moved to a more exciting city with more of a thriving industry, I think you'll feel a hundred times better anyway!
