They may work alone and rely on private advertising or word-of-mouth to find clients, or they may work with an agency, one that specializes in the type of services escorts offer. Men usually enter the escort service industry as their second job or as a way to earn extra income.
What is a Male Escort?
A male escort (also called a male companion) is someone who offers companionship to a client. He may prefer to cater exclusively to women or exclusively to men, or both sexes. Male escorts are usually hired to accompany their client to social events as their date. These events include business functions, weddings, dinner dates, family gatherings, office parties and the like.
Becoming an Escort
Probably the most obvious qualification expected of male escorts is physical beauty, as paying clients often make their choices based on first impressions, which in turn is based largely on the escort’s looks. A good physique, an attractive face and healthy, pleasant overall look are generally considered valuable assets. However, looks are not the only requirement among male companions. Men who work in this industry are expected to be courteous, well-mannered, polite, kind and of course, attentive. Above all, a person with a pleasing personality, someone who is charming, personable and considerate is considered an excellent choice for the job.
Contrary to what many people think, there is no single “type” of male companion. In fact, men of different ages, backgrounds and cultures can work in this industry provided they meet the more important qualifications to be considered as someone’s ideal date.
How is an Escort Booked By the Client?
A client chooses the escort and arranges for the booking with him. The time, location and circumstances of the meeting will be discussed as well. If you work with an agency, the client confirms the booking details (usually through the agency’s website or through phone call). The escort can then choose whether to reject or accept the client’s request. If the escort accepts, he will then meet with the client at the venue of the client’s choosing.
Becoming a Successful Male Companion
There are certain factors that contribute to the success of a male escort. Escorts who build a satisfied client base can usually enjoy repeat business and strong word-of-mouth promotion. Due to their high demand, they can also charge more for their services. Availability is also an important factor. The number of bookings usually increase on evenings, weekends and holidays, it is a good idea for an escort to be available when their clients need them. Location is also key – escorts who work in large, urban areas generally receive more bookings because of the availability of entertainment and recreation within their area.
Getting Paid
All bookings are generally paid cash upfront. Most escorts and their agencies will set up a minimum booking time (usually 2 hours), although some clients may book an escort for longer. Regardless, the escort is paid based on his hourly rate. However, a different figure may be arranged and negotiated, especially if the client chooses to book an escort for a prolonged period of time, such as a weekend or for several days.
