As you know, I am very open with my clients about seeing other providers; I enjoy encouraging them to experience other people. I like to believe it builds diversity within the industry & can help build the community. There are some providers I would strictly avoid based on a few red flags & others I would recommend—especially interstate, where distance deems me incapable of scratching that specific itch. I recently had a conversation with a client who was expressing a bit of frustration & confusion when reaching out to other male providers. Firstly, it's essential to chat about what to look for in a male provider so you can contact someone independent, legitimate & safe. Bear in mind I can only tell you what I would look for when booking an escort & where I have noticed simple mistakes made by others who may be posing as someone they’re not. So let's start with independent worker websites; ScarletBlue.com is the original one-stop shop for escorting at this current stage (at least here in Australia), although I would recommend IvySociete.com.au as they have proven to show a very in-depth provider directory that verifies all their escorts (there are some features that I am eagerly awaiting to be released as well, so they show massive potential).
Moving onto profiles - it is essential to inspect one's photos by always looking for some high-quality, professional images (we will address personable photos further down). These are to display their character & what type of person they’re portraying, as well as how that visual aesthetic appeals to you. I would also look for providers that are face out (reveal their face) with a gallery that consists of at least a close-up face photo, entire body & something more suggestive of what they would look like for the experience.
(I do this for my profile as a rule of thumb to show everything I can about
myself while keeping it classy. I know I don’t appeal to everyone's ideals, but I do my best to portray my personality within my photos while maintaining some authenticity in the expression of images.)
Then, I would compare the photos to the statistics listed in their first section, if their eye colour matches, and whether they are who they say they are. I have seen profiles mess this up & later discovered that they were run by a third party, which is a flag for me as I wouldn't consider them an independent worker. Also, a client once told me that she looks at their hand/ foot sizes to determine whether they suit her demands.
Onto the Bio now & I would be reading into their personality; I know women can sense a person's character by talking about themselves. I knew a few guys who had their bio written by someone else, which makes it easier to express their character from a second-hand source & even easier to identify when it is written in the third person. I had previously done this when I started & it is honestly easier to write about yourself in the third person.
The last two things are probably the most essential testimonials & social media presence; let's touch on testimonials first. It is necessary to note the consistency of their feedback & when their first testimonial was. This can indicate how experienced they are & the types of services they're experienced in. (I have seen a few fake reviews on some profiles, with similar spelling mistakes as their bio).
Finally, let's go down the rabbit hole of their social media; if they don’t have one, I would look elsewhere (or seek other forms of authenticity). Because they may be catfishing clients for deposits and then not following up, I've heard too many stories of clients losing money to warranties & never hearing back from said escort again. I would look at their consistency of posting: are they posting regularly? Are they engaging? This also shows the quality & personability of their content.
Instagram comes across as more professional because of the community guidelines; some posts can be suggestive or intimate modelling-type content. Whereas Twitter is unfiltered (which can be overwhelming) & you can get an understanding of their social personality. You may even get more than you bargained for before the first message has been sent. Avoid profiles that haven’t been posted in months, don’t match up to their original escort profile & that openly display drama. (industry drama is all too familiar & I would run for the hills unless you plan on being a part of it). There’s a lot you can take away or read on social media accounts & even their professional website, which may have some content that you would find helpful, insightful or entertaining. *cough cough*
I hope this helps you find that "Mr. Right" for the night, be safe & have fun.
