Hi Denny

Have you had a look at http://www.saafe.info?  Its mainly geared to the female escorts but some of the principles/advice will be useful to you too.

Its a known fact that male escorts are very rarely as sucessful as the women, unless you are bi sexual or gay.  I dont know the reason behind this, but think its mainly down to supply and demand for male escorts.

Lots of guys fall into the trap of thinking just because they like sex they can become escorts.  Its a harder (pun not intended) industry for male escorts to break into than female escorts.  However, saying that there are some very sucessful male escorts out there, just not as many as the females.

Have a google/search around, see how the male escorts portray themselves.  You have to show that your serious about what you are doing, and if you really think that you will be able to 'perform' with any woman that books you for that service, then go for it.  As a woman if I was booking a male escort then I would want him to have a clean and easy to use site, with great professional pics, showing casual and smart clothing.  I dont want cock pics, but maybe something that shows off your body shape to its best.  But thats just me.

Let us know how you get on, but do all your research first.

1. Give up now.

2. Yes. If you're looking to have female clients, the agencies you can find are all scams (see those threads for why) and while there are some genuine 'mostly female escorts' agencies that have men, they're a tiny sideline - if you want to hear someone laugh, ring and offer your services.

AW lets you advertise for free, but there are already over five thousand men on there.

I don't think many women use AW to look for male escorts, but even so it gives an indication of how much you need to be able to stand out from the crowd.
