In the email it asked if Angels4You would like to get involved with an adult industry ‘business network event’ which would be a ‘chance for business women to exchange ideas and contact’. The person (we will call him Gary) who had sent the email was asking for £30 to be a part of this event and surprisingly at the end of the email he stated that he was an independent candidate for the Mayor of London! I say surprisingly since the whole email wasn’t very professional and I personally would have thought a mayoral candidate would be able to put a well written email together. My curiosity was peaked so I emailed back;

‘Dear Gary, You are not entirely clear about what your ‘financial investment opportunity’ event actually entails. Please could you elaborate? ‘

Which I felt was a fair question. However I had obviously put him on edge as this was his response;

‘Too many questions a bit confusing… Just to get women network together to help each other… I do not wish to promise too much for £30. It would be a pleasant atmosphere…’

The best part was that he then went on to invite me to a personal ‘business lunch’;

‘Do you wish to meet with me for a business lunch or something? Discreet and private business is not done online…All in all, I want a meeting to discuss more with you (say half hour) at a bar, restaurant or hotel (no fee on either side). ‘

How dodgy does this guy sound?! Alarm bells big-time! A ‘pleasant atmosphere?!’ I can just picture a seedy hotel somewhere with this guy lording it over lots of naive London escorts and London escort agency owners I’m very sure it would be a pleasant experience – for him anyway! It sounds like a certain London mayoral candidate was trying to get freebies! I said as much too.

His response;’ the closest to getting cheated is getting something for free’ he then went on to boast about himself: ‘I am an IT consultant. I am a hardnosed politician. I intend to have my name on ballot paper for mayor of London election 2012. I would have some policies on relaxation of prostitution laws in London.’

Politics and escorts – Interesting hey? I didn’t bother replying again. The other London escort agencies are welcome to this ‘networking event’.

The icing on the cake in this particular story is that Sue recognises his name and thinks he may actually have started up a Manchester escort agency. If he still runs it then maybe this is his way of getting extra Manchester escorts for his Manchester escort agency. A London Mayor who owns a Manchester escort agency? Would he get your vote?

Hi Sue,
I’m 17 and not interested in becoming an escort. However, I am interested to know why you got into it? What prevoked you? A year ago, I was going through a phase of wanting to satisfy every guy, tease every guy and increase the number of guys I had gotten off with. I felt so revitalised and proud because of it.. until I was labelled as a slut and I hated myself intensly. I lost my self respect and felt like I should become a prositute because I’m not worth anything more. Do you in any way at all feel ashamed of what you do? Maybe by the fact that some of the clients you have could be married and/or in a relationship? I really do mean that in the politest of ways.

Why did I get into escorting?  Actually, escorting found me.  I certainly did not understand what escorting was all about until it arrived in my life.  I was invited into this industry by a guy setting up a swingers club in Leeds and who turned out to be the boyfriend of a Leeds escort agency owner.  He persuaded me to try escorting (remember I was a swinger at that time) and it seemed an oppotunity to not dismiss so I talked it over with my husband who did as he always used to do … you only live once Sue so try what you want to for you – so I did.  It was an eye opener but it lead to my opening Angels4You Manchester escort agency so it can’t have been a negative experience in every way now can it.

Reading through the email from the young lady above, at 17 I am not really suprised that she found herself called names because she wanted to have time out for fun but what is sad is that she has a lot more years of judgements and name calling ahead of her as when it comes to sex, there are so many narrow minds out there.

Losing self respect and feeling unworthy of anything only comes from believing what others tell you however, with maturity usually comes understanding that the only person you really have to make happy is yourself.  Its not, however, always easy to believe in yourself when others make you feel unhappy but age has a lot to answer for!  I remember so many times thinking I knew everything at that age – I still feel 17 in my head (my body says different) but I know realistically that at 17 I did not have the experience to really make decisions that would affect my life as much as this young lady feels she needs to do – ie become a prostitute and be unworthy of being a person.

I have beeen asked if I feel ashamed of what I have done and by this I know she means escorting.  My absolute categoric answer is “do I heck feel ashamed”.  I absolutely loved escorting and I know how successful I was in what I did.  This young lady has a lot to learn yet about people as escorting (if done right) is about people not about bodies and is an art form which I took great delight in learning and becoming an expert in.  This feeling comes from experience not having a great face and body and in no way detracts from the fact that some people I saw were clearly married.  So many of the great times I have had involved real confidence conversations – wives, girlfriends, work issues and children were all subjects that were never taboo behind closed doors and that is why I say that there is an art form about escorting which many girls never understand as they allow themselves to feel that they are prostitutes and simply use their bodies and not their minds.

This subject goes round and round in circles however what has almost always been clear to me is that escorting is an art that takes time to learn and, if done right, is one of the most empowering (not slutty!) experiences of your life.  I will never have regrets about the people I have met and the times I have had.  At 17 years old though, without me now sounding too old, its too young an age for this concept of experience to be fully understood.  To understand you  need experience – to experience what I know …..you need …….. age!

In my day-job I am on the road so occasionally I will be required to stay away overnight on business. So last week I was up in Northumberland, where I was put up in a Premier Inn… hmm…Not that I’m a snob but you do get used to classier hotels when you have escorted for Angels4You Manchester escorts. Anyway I wasn’t prepared for the feelings that came along with being in a hotel from this side of things and the tables turning put me on edge. Instead of just walking past reception trying to be inconspicuous with my head held high, I actually had to approach the smiley person behind the desk. The second disconcerting difference was that I didn’t have to preen myself in front of the eyehole of the hotel room door. No one is watching Marie! And lastly I found myself rattling around a hotel room totally and utterly bored. It was a complete eye opener – I now understand just why businessmen go to a Manchester escort agency and book an escort’s time. Hopefully a good time is on the cards and a good night’s sleep after! I was unprepared for the unsettled feeling that I had. I was quite horny and I got a foul night’s sleep. Ah well. You’re retired Marie remember?

Anyway onto part 2 of Strange Stories; I need to point out that these anecdotes only happened when I was working from the more traditional type of Leeds escort agency, and, I also need to point out that this will highlight to you what makes Angels4You clients different from traditional Leeds escort agency clients. (I.e. they are not nearly so odd!)

I’ll start with Crazy-Car Guy. I had been called out to somewhere in North Yorkshire to a home booking. It was a perilous drive in the middle of winter but I got there eventually. He was an average type of guy, and we had an average type of time. His house was nice though and he obviously had lots of money. We got chatting and it turned out he was a car journalist – ‘is there such a thing?’ I asked. Apparently he was the only one – hence all the money. Anyway it turned out he was such a car enthusiast that he actually kept various trophy cars cryogenically frozen to keep them in mint condition in a special garage. ‘Wow.’ I thought. ‘Sure knows how to live!’ I have never understood the mentality of loving something so much that you want to keep it locked away in a box. If you love something, use it, and if it gets scratched or broken – so what? Hmm. Maybe this is a metaphor for something…

Another strange client that I always chuckle about now is Peg-Guy. I wonder what happened to him? He was a joy to have a booking with as it was just such a laugh and very easy. All he wanted to do was cover me in clothes pegs! You can’t make this stuff up can you?

Next up is Tickling-Guy. This is the sort of client we would welcome at Angels4You. He was very thoughtful and treated me with a lot of respect. He was a disabled client and enjoyed a good laugh. By which I mean he just liked to be tickled. I had no idea that an electric toothbrush could be used inbetween the toes to such an effect.

Another old client I fondly remember is Tent-Guy who actually set up a mini festival – complete with fake grass and a tent in his front room for me! I think the reason was that he knew I was off to some festival and wanted to celebrate with a festival themed booking. He even wore a full on hippy outfit with a wig.

I have many other stories that I probably shouldn’t bring up here. Maybe I will write a book someday.

Lastly please look at this link. On it you will find a guide with some good advice as to how to treat an escort and escort agency professionally within this industry. Some of my so called ‘clients’ from Strange Stories Part 1 could have done with reading this prior to booking my time!

In all honesty I had been feeling quite low. Mostly the reason for this was that Angels4You lost 2 of our Manchester escorts recently. I was unprepared for the feelings this brought up. Somehow I felt that I had failed them as a escort agency manager – had I given them too much work or too little? Had I set up an in-compatible match for them with a client? I have been questioning myself and worrying over it.

So why am I here now writing this diary entry? – Well I was all dismal but it quickly passed. In fact, I am feeling exactly the opposite now! I have made it my one woman mission over the past few days to catch up with all of our current amazing Manchester and Leeds Escorts face to face. I can say now that this was just what I needed and what a FANTASTIC time I have had! I met up with our Manchester escorts for a meal. I bet a great many of you clients would’ve loved to have been a fly on THAT restaurant’s wall! (And probably a fair few TV stations too) It’s really easy being around other Manchester escorts. There are no judgemental attitudes, instead there is an ease of understanding – a comradery. And I can tell you – a great many hilarious stories were swopped!

I met up with our Angels4You Leeds escort Sophie, the night after. Once more, the same sort of scenario occurred. Lots of stories, a feeling of closeness due to the similar mentality; its fun, its work, it’s professional.

It’s refreshing not having to hide things for a change. I have said before that I am an honest person and that being truthful unfortunately does not go hand in hand with being an escort or an escort agency manager. I have got used to always keeping a part of me back and silenced when I am socialising with my own friends. Sure – it’s fun having a guilty secret, but over time secrets wear you out. It is apparent that all escorts have to go through this difficult question; who to tell? And who not to tell? Out of all of your friends, family and loved ones, who can actually cope with what you do and remain unchanged around you? I have tried both. When I was keeping my escorting life from my partner it was very difficult HOWEVER at the same time I can see how easy it is to just carry on with not volunteering this piece of your life. It doesn’t hurt anyone after all does it? So it doesn’t seem like a massive to deal to you. But the easy path is not always the right one for that person or situation. I have been very lucky with my close family though – all of them know about what I have been up to and what I do now and have never batted an eyelid. Sue has not been so lucky with her family but then, she has always been honest to the whole world about Angels4You from the start.

Anyway, meeting up with the Angels4You team-members highlighted the reasons I initially got into escorting. The word that frequently was used was ‘empowerment’. It is very difficult to explain to a non-escort but the feeling is addictive and unlike much else.  I must admit that I am getting a bit nostalgic about escorting…

These are some stories from my past from when I escorted for a couple of years at a traditional Leeds escort agency. I need to point out that at this traditional escort agency I was seeing a higher quantity of clients of a lower quality calibre!!! – Which of course, is the exact opposite of Angels4You. If you want to get into escorting then you need to be aware that these are the sort of sticky situations you will be exposed too.

The first story that springs to my mind is my most scary experience. I had just seen a client on a Sunday night at a service station hotel. It was after midnight when I was walking back to my car in the deserted car park. Suddenly I noticed a strange man making a beeline for me. I loitered so that he could go past me but he changed direction as if to intersect me, there was no mistaking the fact that I was the object of his purposeful stride. I was so scared I nearly ran to my car, yanked my door open and quickly got inside. At this point the stranger was at my passenger door and tried to get in too! Luckily my car only unlocks the driver’s side otherwise I don’t know what may have happened. Car-jack and rape I would imagine was the agenda. He tried to talk through the glass to me I nearly ran him over in my rush to get away. Shame I didn’t. After this episode I gave the client no option but to walk me to my car after a booking.

Next up is an almost equally scary situation. I had accepted a last minute booking in Bradford. I remember driving up to the house in question and feeling on edge – it wasn’t a very nice neighbourhood. When I knocked on the door it became apparent that my client was a student and the house a student house. I was treated like an object as soon as I was in the house and ushered upstairs. He didn’t want to give me the fee upfront even though I stressed that it was the way things are done. Suddenly in the room there appeared a flatmate. The agency was not aware that there was someone else in the house and this sudden new person made me aware that the situation was slipping away from my control fast. I rang the agency and made them aware of the situation – The flatmate thought that he could see me as well! At this stage I remember being aware of the smell of drugs – these people were obviously stoned and out of touch with reality. I made the decision to get out and collected my things and hurried downstairs. When I got to the front door I found it locked!!! That really shook me up. I remember being on the phone to Laura (the escort agency owner) and really panicking, she was going to call the police. The two students said that they couldn’t find the key and it all got fairly heated with Laura shouting down the phone at me to get out! Eventually they ‘found’ the key and I ran out – their parting comments that they were ‘very disappointed in me’!!! Idiots. After that episode I refused any Bradford bookings.

Drug use and excessive alcohol use is something that I did not tolerate in all of my time as an escort and now, as an escort agency manager. It puts you, the escort in an extremely vulnerable position. You are in close proximity to a stranger who is out of touch with reality – who knows what they are capable of? I remember another time when I was exposed to a seriously drunk client – he almost didn’t open the door! I was knocking for ages and when he did eventually come downstairs he only had his underwear on, could barely stand and couldn’t string a sentence together! Needless to say I walked away from that one sharpish. I felt that the agency owner thought I was making a fuss. Again that is something you will be exposed to at a traditional agency – being made to feel bad if you say ‘no’.

Being out and about late at night definitely exposes you to a lot of wierdos and the next story again highlights this. It was after another booking, this time in York. I was getting into my car when a man stopped me by knocking on my window. Initially I wouldn’t open the window but did after he told me that he was the police! He asked me if I was drunk as I was ‘staggering’ down the street. Now I honestly thought he was a policeman so (stupidly) opened the door to show him my sky-high stilettos; ‘Honey – I would like to see YOU walk down a cobble street in these bad boys and NOT to stagger’ was my answer to him (respect for authority is not a strong point). He got out his phone and told me he was going to radio for back up and take my registration number. He then took a photo of my high heeled foot for ‘evidence’. At this stage I was asking for a police badge and some ID as I smelt a rat. He told me to wait and pointed at a car driving past – telling me that the people inside were plain clothed officers and that they were his back up. To cut a long story short I eventually shut the door and drove home. On the drive home the whole situation played on my mind – was he for real? What exactly had happened here? I got home and rung the REAL police, I asked them if one of their officers had just done a registration check on my car and sure enough, no-one had. I gave the details of the man for their reference. They were quite baffled and we both put it down to a guy with a foot fetish? I felt very stupid for being so trusting in that situation – just because someone says that they are the police doesn’t mean you should be at ease. ALWAYS ask for ID.

On the subject of police badges I will go onto my last story. I had just seen an easy going client at a hotel. When the time was up he only pulled a blinking police badge on me didn’t he??? Well needless to say I went into shock and couldn’t stop shaking. ‘I thought this is it! I’m going to be arrested!’ (NOTE: escorting is not illegal) In actuality he was only showing off his new badge with his new role as a community police officer. Good god it shook me up though! I think I hit him.

Writing about and then re-reading all of the above has made me realise how lucky I have been. These situations could have been a lot worse. I can’t really talk to many people about it and writing it down has been quite therapeutic for me. (So thanks for listening!)

It’s needless to say that none of the above stories would have happened to me as an Angels4You escort. This is due to lots of reasons which I am sure you must know by now; that our safety checks are done, that Sue or I really make sure that a client is up to the Angels4You standard, that we don’t accept short notice bookings or late night bookings. Now you know why hey?

For those of you that believe I am a cure all and know everything I would only ask you to remember this … I am me, what suits me, suits me not you and what I may choose to share is up to you if you choose to ask for my thoughts.  I work with principles that I hold dear and that may well not be ones you agree with.  It will always be a person’s choice to choose which pathways to go down and for me, professionalism and caring has always been a measure of success and has never been the number of £s in my bank account.  What I choose to do will always be my feelings so please do not give me a hard time if you ask for advice and then find it does not suit you.  We each make our own pathways and all I can do is give you what I have experienced and this will never be a blueprint for anyone else’s future.

The original email :

I have a business set up already in the web design industry but am relocating back to the manchester / liverpool area. Myself and an asian friend of mine are very interested in combining our skills and setting up an escort agency.
There are a few questions that puzzle us and we could really do with some honest advice, and your blog site seems so great – I certainly would have no problem referring business to you if we get this off the ground and dont have any girls free…. you seem so honest
Anyway would be great if you could answer some questions -
1) Whats the best way of taking payment from a client – via credit card machine or cash
2) how do you ensure that the escort doesnt steal the client for herself on private bookings once you have introduced them ? this one really confuses us
3) How do you interview the girls
4) we have a driver and we feel this might be safer for the escort and ensure no trouble as he is an ex head doorman – how do we charge the escort or work this into our rates
5) I have been ripped off before by an ex business partner – I trust my friend but how do i ensure that he doesnt nick the company for himself once setup

My designers are currently building a site for a massage parlour in manchester, we were going to see if the owner could advise us – is there any way we could get further advice from yourself sue. We are also considering setting up a non sexual side of escorting which is purely for business functions, dinners etc as we have a lot of contacts within manchester who are laddancing models and very well to do clients that may not want the sexual side.

Your advice is really appreciated

My answer was :

Thanks for your enquiry but will admit, you don’t sound like an agency owner who needs to head for the level of agency I personally believe needs to be out there, so you may find that my comments are a bit at odds with what you may want to hear at times – sorry!

1. Your main business clients come from Manchester hotels not Liverpool hotels.  The latter clients tend to be a lot of irish guys coming over into cheaper hotels in and around Liverpool
2. Thanks for the offer of referrals, however, from your questions you are definitely not looking for the kind of business we target and referrals would not be appreciated – but thank you for thinking of us
3. How much do you really know about accounting systems?  If you accept a credit card payment direct from a client, you have to account for the whole sale with a deduction then being allocated to the girl in the accounts.  If the girl accepts cash, the only money that then goes through your accounts would be the part that the girl pays you.  The NET effect is exactly the same, however, in relation to turnover, this figure would very quickly hit the VAT threshold because you accept the whole amount via credit card – example:
   1. Agreed fee £150 – paid credit card – in your accounts £150 sale, £120 cost (amount sent to girl later)
   2. Agreed fee £150 – paid cash to girl – in your accounts £30 sale (introduction fee from girl)
   3. Imagine you had 10 bookings in a month – with example A your sales would be £1,500 and with example B £300.  This figure only becomes important when you are reaching the VAT threshold however example A grossly overinflates your sales
   4. So to answer your query – if you don’t care about VAT thresholds and believe you don’t need to declare sales by credit card in the gross amount then obviously you are safer accepting the full fee by credit as you then ensure the girl pays you, however, you will need to ensure you have the correct details in your accounts
   5. Cannot believe you asked this one!  Let me spell it out for you – for most of escorting a girl is in this industry because she NEEDS money, not because she wants to have fun.  The more that NEED is; the more the girl has escorted before; the longer she has been in this industry; the more lies she will tell and the more risk you have.  The only way I have found to ensure professionalism is to accept women with professional careers only with no financial need – for example, some of our team careers are/have been : bank manager, museum curator, accountant, vet ….. if you have women who do this as a full-time career or who are in lower paid work (ie £12-15k pa) then they will NEED money and before long, they will think that they can get away without telling you that they are seeing the client behind your back.  All will seem sweetness and light at the beginning but believe me, the longer the girl has been an escort, the more risk she will always be to you.
   6. I don’t interview these days – Marie manages Angels4You and she does meet out team but only if she believes that she is someone who meets our standards.  Most agencies are set up for an immediate demand and immediate supply.  For that reason you need girls who need money.  Some agencies don’t care about who the girl is, they just want a body to send out when a client rings up so some agencies, if the girl says she is experienced, won’t bother meeting her or setting up the ground rules.  Its horses for courses, if you need to earn money through your agency then you will need girl after girl after girl – don’t bother interviewing as an existing escort will know what to do most of the time because of the level of business you will be targeting.  If you want my professional answer (as opposed to my irritated one!) …. When you put through on your website who you look for, do those words come from your heart or from your business need.  Do you care about what you write and who you target and if you wonder what on earth I am wittering from, read the Join Us page on Angels4You (www.angelsyou.co.uk/join_us.html) and then look at other agencies and see what the difference is between how they project a Join Our Agency and how I prefer to do it.
   7. If you are wanting a driver then so be it … have a look at the following diary entries and you make your own mind up …. Sorry to sound irritated (again) on this point – you did note that I seem honest – sometimes the honesty goes towards too much bluntness too!  The diary entries on the Escort Agency Set Up Advice page has one specifically about drivers …. http://www.suesdiary.co.uk/index.php/escort-agency-set-up-advice/
   8. If you are asking this kind of question then you already have a gut instinct of unsafeness …. Quite frankly, don’t go into partnership with him.  If you feel that have to have some measure of trust, agree key things such as everything in the bank account needs 2 signatures, don’t set up internet banking that allows either one of you to do transactions without the other knowing and so on.  Businesses are built on trust and if you are thinking already along the lines of “What If” then you already have concerns.  From a counselling session 11 years ago following a sexual assault that happened to me in a workplace I was given a book to read, it took a lot of years before I really absorbed its message.  The book was called “The Gift of Fear” and for years it did not make sense to me yet over time, I came to realise that my gut instinct was sometimes being overrode by my heart and desire to trust people – these days, no matter what, if I have even a twinge of discomfort, no matter what, I won’t go forward.  It stands me in good stead in the escorting industry because the idiots I listen to on the phone wont ever get past me (or Marie) to book one of the team if they even remotely make me uncomfortable in the way they are asking.  Trust your gut instincts and keep to them because the only person to blame if things do go awry will be yourself.
   9. You ask about advice from me …. Based on what you have told me, I don’t believe that I can help anyone who is asking the kind of questions you already are.  The core issue for me is that you were talking about setting up a non-sexual side of escorting … in other words, you have already made up your mind that escorts sell sex straight away.  I don’t, and wont, condone that thought.  An escort has the right to say yes and no and I would put it back to you … if a girl was in a booking and she felt unsafe and said no to the client, how far would you back her up if you knew this guy yourself (ie one of your mates) and you felt she was being paid for sex so she should do it?  There is a HUGE difference in my attitude towards men and services.  I don’t and won’t sell girls for sex and woe and betide any client who expects a sexual service and then feels he is short changed if one of my term turns him down – we have a right to spend our time how we wish to and that does not include sex just because a client thinks he has bought a girl’s body and not just her time.
   10. As for massage parlours … they are illegal and yes I know that your company is simply doing a website from them but you were thinking of asking for advice from someone who is operating an illegal business.  Yes police turn a blind eye so much of the time as its informally seen as better for a girl to be off the street but think about the level of person in the parlours … they NEED money and believe that by using their body they can earn it.  Again, I cannot condone this.

I know I have probably surprised you with how I feel – having been an escort I know what it really is like out there and I also know that male escort agency owners are often horrific in expecting a girl to be a prostitute and just perform when she is told.  Angels4You was set up entirely on a business side for business people who have been able to appreciate the difference between a pretty face and body that needs money and a business woman who meets them on their own level for her own fun not because she needs money.

I do so wish you good luck.  I am not sure how much help I have been, however, I will post this entry for others to see on the Escorting page of Sue’s Diary, as I think it is important for others to realise that I am not here to be traditional – Sue’s Diary and Angels4You stays on the right side of every part of the law and I need people to see that there can be people like me (and Marie who manages Angels) who are prepared to stay away from the crowd and the traditional thinking behind escorting being always about a sexual demand.

On a final note – I have re-read my answer on more than a few occasions now and I can see why the person asking for advice felt he had had his bead bitten off.  I do, however, stand by my comments no matter how ill-spirited I was in the way they came across.  I do apologise publically to the person who asked these queries for having been so grumpy in answering as I said in my initial entry, I have been incredibly down with ill-health for most of December and my patience was obviously on a very low level.  Excuses aside, I do stand by my feelings and, as I said at the beginning of this entry, whilst I am always happy to answer queries, I cannot be expected to soften my thoughts just to be what someone wants to hear.  I can only be myself and if that happens to be me on a grumpy day … oops!

The issue I had was in relation to the setting up of a business bank account.  I already knew from agencies I became aware of that they did not declare what they were using their bank accounts for.  Most escort agencies were not limited companies and therefore you actually do not have to have a separate account for your business monies so the agency owner I first knew operated a bank account in her own name.  Another agency owner I came across operated his account under his business which was I believe something in the technology industry.

For me, I felt all of this was just not quite right so I did the same I am often wont to do and put my head in the lion’s den (ie the banks) and set out to get a business account stating clearly that I ran an escort agency.  Could I do it?  Nope.  I still remember my solicitor years back saying clearly to me “you are too professional for this kind of industry Sue and what you want you to do will often not be possible”.  He was not wrong as time and time again I have come up against issues of varying degrees of irritation.

Angels4You has always been a trading name of my own limited company and I have always split out the turnover into the different kind of fees I raise so that I can clearly establish in my own accounts what is coming in and being spent on which parts of my business.  My bank account covers both areas of my business and I have had no problems with it as I chose to go with a bank where everything was done online or via the post and I did not have to have a bank manager or counter transactions.  I would rather have had a high street bank account, however, at that time in my business development, it could not be done.

Other agencies have found their own ways to operate bank accounts and no one way will be right for everyone.  What I would wish for though is those horrible words “Reputational Liability” to be revisited by the banks and that some sensible bank/customer manager realises that some people in this industry do care enough about professionalism to want to be above board but for now, all I can say to those people who want to declare to their bank managers that they run an escort agency is “don’t be too surprised when they say no”.

Both of us wish our clients and our team the happiest of Christmases.

Angels4You will be open again after the Christmas break and, with luck, our new site will also be visible  – fingers crossed!

Happy Christmas

I feel quite bad about the last conversation as I actually laughed down the phone at a guy – I couldn’t help myself though. He was obviously an older gentleman and honestly thought there would be a call for women wanting to pay him to accompany them to a Christmas party, or other such events. After apologising for laughing I had a long chat where I gently let him down.

Related to this male escort enquiry boom was an email that Angels4You recently received from a couple;

‘My girlfriend and I are interested in a threesome, but with a male escort. I realise you don’t seem to have any males on your books on this site, but hope you may know of some reliable male escorts that may be able to help us in the Leeds area.’

For a start I set them straight – we do not offer threesomes as that would suggest that Angels4You sell sex – which we don’t. Also that we don’t recommend agencies or escorts, please follow this link to see why.

However It was the trigger for me to want to rethink my automatic response to people that ‘there simply isn’t the work for a male escort’ so I decided to do some proper research into male escorting.

Surprisingly it appears that there can be work for male escorts – just not in this area.  I will explain.

I started off in the Leeds area. My idea was to ring up an independent Leeds male escort and have a chat about his work. This was easier said than done! there were  no Leeds male escorts to be found. I struggled to find any legitimate male escorts at all. What I came across instead was lots of websites specialising in male escorts but they wanted you to login and pay to get access to their gallery. Suspicious? Definitely – it’s those ruthless scam escort agencies again. They want you to part with money either as a potential client or a potential male escort. Please follow this link to my diary entry all about fake escort agencies and how to spot them. No wonder this couple wanted advice if this is what is out there!

So I went further afield. I tried researching London. My first call to an independent London male escort didn’t go so well as he was unwilling and suspicious to chat to someone who didn’t want to book his time (fair enough I suppose). The second conversation went well. I had a long and interesting chat with a male escort – let’s call him Doug. Doug told me lots of things that I will pass on next time I get an inquiry. Apparently there is work  – but only in London. The majority of his work was sexual and he had to be prepared to do most things. He was bisexual and saw many couples both straight and gay; he also specialised in Domination and had a wide client base for this. ‘Normal’ one to one bookings with just one lady made up a small minority compared to all his other types of bookings. He assured me that he did make enough money to live off but had built up his large client base over many years. I asked Doug if he thought there was call for a male escort outside of London and he wasn’t really sure. He did say that clients came down from far away to see him but would this generate enough business for a northern male escort? He didn’t think so. Anyway I am very grateful to Doug for his time and his honest responses to my questions.

My conversation with Doug will give me a more knowledgeable answer when dealing with inquires in the future.

In my research I noted that the standard escort requirements of being physically fit and attractive are qualities that are 100% more important for a male escort to have. Whereas there is a market for voluptuous women escorts or mature women escorts – there is no such equivalent market for the male escort counterpart.

Lastly when doing my research I came across an online article. Please follow this link. This is an interesting piece of writing where an author tried to make a living in London as a legal male escort. Good for him for trying to remain professional I say!

Anyway my advice to the couple who emailed me was to book a trip to London and HAVE FUN!!!

Having a diary online and owning an escort agency does not make me an expert but there is one thing I know for an absolute certainty – Angels4You is an entirely unique escort agency in this industry. We are not short notice, short duration and on demand. What neither me, or my agency do, is profess to be experts but what I do hold dear is that the only way I have learnt is by finding out for myself what does and does not work. The questions I got asked recently that gave me some irritation are, to me, sensible to a normal business to know about and I will happily admit, I have been very irritated by the fact that these questions can be answered by most people who look for professionalism in their industry (success in monetary terms and having lots of other businesses are not for me, a measure of professionalism – sorry!).

For those people who believe that I am the font of all knowledge – I am not and will never be. My knowledge of how I run my business is exactly that …. my knowledge and what I know works for me will not suit every person out there. For me, the aim of being in business has been to do it right all the time every time.

Ok , off my high horse. On the next diary entry are the questions asked of me and my answers and yes, my irritation does show through but if anyone is asking the same questions when wishing to set up their own agency, then the questions will be relevant. What each individual takes from my answers is up to you – remember I am NOT and never will be a font of all knowledge and what works for me (as I keep saying time and time again) is not a bible for the future so if you do email me for help, please be prepared for me to answer in my way and that this may not be quite what you expect!
