A younger client asked me a few years ago, whether or not I believe that there is a possibility to work as a male escort in LA. I said that I am certain about a ‘market’ for male escorts. Years ago I briefly met A few successful male escorts, for example in offices of advertising agencies here in LA. I would assume that male escorts are more dealing with middle aged, "mature" women than female escorts dealing with older gentlemen. It is a fact that the choice of suitable partners decreases with age, though this certainly does not apply to everybody. I said that there are certainly many lonely (affluent) women out there, who are longing for good company and for intimacy. This is why literally tons of older women travel to less developed countries, where younger men offer their services, oftentimes as a companionship of several weeks for traveling- and sightseeing.  (I often saw it with my own eyes when I traveled as a tourist. It is similar to many girls in Asia and other parts of the world, who are a paid companions, often for several weeks). The economic gap among countries and poverty motivates millions of young men to offer their services to traveling women from economically more developed countries. Of course, this usually is embedded in a vacation stay. These few successful male escorts I met briefly in LA offices seemed charming, well -educated and had charisma. Some of them were not the most attractive man I ever saw, according to my personal taste. Many of my clients were physically much more attractive than some of these ‘working males’ I met.  I believe it is mainly the personality, which is decisive for succeeding as a male escort. I believe that the fact of many more women and men attempting to work as an escort is not only a ‘good sign of the times’, as this results from economical struggle, poverty or lack of possibilities to obtain a decent income for paying bills in many jobs. Regardless, what finally counts, under various given circumstances, is that any arrangement turns into a ‘win-win-situation’ for either person
