hello i have been looking at trying to become a male escort for the last 6 months was very weary of up front fees but finally gave into one as i had become really desperate  and believe i have been scammed i have seen that a lot of people don't believe that there are any agency's for straight males but i do have a friend who said he did work for one a few years ago which he had found through gum tree can anybody help please

The second best help I can give you is that very little in terms of successful enterprises are to be found on the likes of Gumtree, and that your friend is 99.9% talking out of his arse (and not entirely surprisingly - not that many men are going to want to admit that they a: tried to get women to pay for sex with them and didn't get a single taker b: were daft enough to give the person telling them that they'd make a fortune money, and/or c: did make some money, but only by taking male clients.

The best help I can give you is to suggest you read the rest of this thread which is now very long indeed, and for a good reason. There's also the Big Scam Agency thread, which somebody may pop along and link to.

..was very weary of up front fees but finally gave into one as i had become really desperate

.. and there are people who can't understand how the scammers get victims...

   If i had a pound for every guy that i met (and for guys  i mean clients ) that would like to be a male escort then  i would have half a dozen of those massive big plastic coke bottles that you can put your small change in and i would be in the process of buying another one as the rest would be full up .

and I'm not slating those clients that would want to do this,  but i simply tell them that there is no business for male escorts unless they are gay or bisexual.    And if they are straight then  they have about as much chance of getting work as a male escort  as  I do as dancing on stage with Beyonce when she tours  the Uk . In fact i probably have 98 percent more chance of dancing on stage with Beyonce because she dose have female dancers  when she tours 

And Amy is correct, how many different ways do you want to be told.

can anyone tell me if it is legit?

thanku!

As ever, a search of the forum would've provided you with the information you're looking for.

I've merged your post with this thread, and if you read the whole thing from the start you'll see that straight male escorting is a scam industry.

A straight male escort might be able to get 1-2 female clients per year to pay him a little bit of money for a session, but he'll have to pay out ten times that amount on advertising, photographs and a website, so in the end he'll be the one paying for the session really.

If you want to make money from the sex industry, you need to service men.

Hi, I am a gentleman ladies only escort, now, before I hear cries of oh no not another one, I know it?s not exactly an area of business where clients are going to be plentiful yet the competition the exact opposite ? but, being 35, well groomed, well spoken and a fun loving guy who likes to make ladies happy, rather than play with hearts and minds I?d thought being a paid escort/companion might be the way to go.

So, new to the business, I thought, do the right thing, sign up with an agency and see how it goes . . so that?s what I did ? I will at this point name no names, the agency I signed up with I?ve been with now for close to 11 weeks now, have given them ?1800 and received from them no work, promises of work, sure, but no work - it normally goes along the lines of ?we have this client/job, its going to pay (insert four figure sum here) but, we need some more money from you!?

For those out there who work for agencies, is this normal practice?
I?m a high class guy, but starting to feel like a low down chump.

Any advice, also, is there a list of agencies out there that need to be avoided as they are scamming or just plain dangerous?

Any advice, is gratefully received, with many thanks
