I think they're saying that's the number for the 'agency', i.e. it's a London landline rather than the 0844-ones used by the Spanish scammers.

Everything else I agree with.

'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

Hi All,
First off thank you for the wealth of advice offered here....thank goodness I found you, as I almost joined what is now looking very much a scam site...and parting with 300 quid!
I'm a straight male looking to enter the world of escorting...yes I know, another one looking for that dream :))
The consensus here is that I should give up, and now I can see why you're saying that lol, but I'd like to explore further before totally throwing in the towel!!!
I've looked around google (entering "London male escorts" and other combinations) and have found the following sites....has anyone any knowledge/opinion or heard anything about them??
Some of these look to be just ads sites, but the top few seems most plausible??....but ANY advice greatly appreciated!!!!!!....

www.extrapillow.com
www.absolute-male-escorts.com
www.londonmale.com
www.eveningencounters.com
www.partneryou.com

Yours gratefully,
Tony :)

Don't diss ad sites, they are honest: pay them ?x a month, they'll show your ad to anyone who is looking. Congratulations, you've found four of them and only two scams.

extrapillow - ad site that wants to vet your incoming email?! Aimed primarily at male clients / female escorts and more expensive than...

AME - been around for years, their Google ranking varies depending on how naughty they've been with their search engine optimisation. Looks like they've been good recently. They've also added a 'straight male' section, but a look at the site / other ads should reveal what the real market is, though!

LondonMale - again not cheap, few escorts (the one I clicked on is actually based in Hungary?!)

EveningEncounters - scam.

PartnerYou - scam.

.. and from the other post:

MenInTheCity - gay agency / 'take anyone's money' ad site. About the same cost as AME.

But if you can't do sex with men (even just letting them go down on you) I wouldn't bother paying to advertise.

Thanks very much for your comments...very much appreciated!!
Still not throwing in the towel just yet...I may give one of those sites a punt (pardon the pun :) ) although I wont expect much....people here, including yourself, know far more about this game than I do and opinion is not to bother, so I'm in no position to dispute that...
Ive also seen a site called escortguys...looks very good, and although they say they have straight guys there, it looks 99 percent gay!
...Could I let a guy go down on me??? Tough call, but possibly....for the right price lol..and even if so, I couldnt do anything else...not much call for just that I'd imagine lol!

Many thanks again,
Tony

It has all the classic hallmarks of a scam. Social companions, you have to log in to use it, promises of ?300 bookings for just chatting to clients. If they want money before a booking its a scam usually even if they dress it up as something else.
find out exactly how and why a man hoping to escort women for a living has more chance of plaiting fog, and better earning prospects on Jobseekers Allowance.

Unsurprising that - of the men using the leading sexual health service for male escorts in London, 98.5% had only male clients.

There is a definite niche market there.

Hi, and at the risk of sounding boring, many thanks for your informative replies to my queries!!
I never knew there was a niche market just for letting guys go down on oneself!!! I suppose id consider it- i am slightly bi-curious...slightly! Lol

niche service, bearing inind that i cannot see myself offering more than
that, and wouldnt want to mislead anyone into thinking i offer everything....?
Any suggestions appreciated......
.....and many thanks again!!

XW5 may be able to help with that. Or have a look on the main forum, im sure theres info on it. You could take a look at others websites on thier links page to see where they advertise in your area.
As far as a niche goes its possible but maybe you ought to explore this side of yourself to see if its for you. You could hire a male escort for example? It might save you from landing youself in a situation youre not sure about. Be prepared that your clients may be a lot older than you and you wont be attracted to all of them. Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply- ill definitely give your suggestion some thought...it had crossed my
mind. Ill have a look around for those links, thanks for the tip!
Im new at this side of things- escorting myself-although  i have had quite a few encounters with aw  and other wgs.

Xw5... Could you help with where to advertise such a niche? Id rather not use aw ideally!!

Hi,

Ive been looking around for any info on what we've been discussing here recently and I cannot find much, if anything, on how to go about offering such a niche service...I'd hate to mislead anyone into thinking that I'm offering the 'full package.'
...please can you offer me any places to look and how to go about it please?

Any advice much appreciated :)
Many Thanks,
Tony

Tony, the best thing to do if you want to ask a specific member a specific question is to use the PM system, rather than hijacking threads and risk dragging them so far off topic that new readers can't find the information they want. If you click on XW5's username next to his last post when you are logged in, you can send him a message  :).

Hi guys!!
Can I say a big THANK YOU to this site and to all of you who have prevented me from parting with ?366!!! Basically my rent money! I was about to be scammed by adorabelles! They too promised me a dinner date but first I had to part with the initial ?366 registration fee before hand. I could hear the busy call centre in the back ground and the woman on the phone sold it to me in a very convincing way! I thought: "this can't be a scam for them to have such a busy call centre right?"..but it all seemed to good to be true. ?600 quid for a dinner date and no sex involved..I wish!! I asked to sign a contract which they said wasn't possible because it was all internet based! That made me think...I asked her myself about internet scams and she reassured me that they had been a rep. company of over four years. She said they wouldn't disppear and that they make their money from the commission from clients...but it's all talk without it being in writing it means nothing.I told her that this was my rent money and I was skint. How can they live with themselves! I think it's disgusting. I am glad I thought better of it and managed to find this site!
I am supposed to transfer the money tomorrow into some random barclays account and to get a receipt of the payment and that's my contract..yeah right. I am sure I will hear from her again when she sees I haven't made payment..her or one of her other ten colleges who kept badgering me..that's their commission badgering us for our "registration fee"!!

Thank you once again!  :)

I know we get this a lot, but the ones where people have seen SAAFE and kept their money always make me want to punch the air a bit  :D.

Well done Gingerlina and welcome to the forum. If you are still keen, have a read of the main site and for the rest, we're here to help! Most of us are independent, but there are some agency ladies on here if you decide that's still the way you want to go.
