What do guys want to be called?

[areaK]

I'm recently breaking into the biz so I have a few q's and stuff I would appreciate guidance on =)

What do guys prefer to be called..."customers" "clients" "hobbyists"? A guy said he doesn't like to be called a customer so I'm just wondering what the most popular non-offensive term is? Thanks!

no to "customer" or "hobbyist"
maybe to "client" but that`s prob what SPs call us when in a MP.
I`ve heard "friend" from indies while on the phone.
I prefer "fellow PERBite" or the used by Mods "Reviewer"
some people like "John"

Frankly, it`s not a big deal to me, though for some reason "john" makes me think of cruising for SWs (which I have never done and have no desire to try).

"Friend" seems like a bad idea because the guy might think it is true. Which presumably would be somewhat of a stretch in most cases.

Given that generic words like "client" and "customer" are in the running why not just use the word "guy". The vast majority of the people you will see will be guys I assume and I fail to see how anybody would have a problem with that word. And the fact that it is non-specific may be good if your conversation were to be overheard.

I`m not really sure you need a word at all. Can you provide an example of a sentence/situation where you would need to use one of these words? I suspect that by and large you can communicate just fine in general or non-specific ways.

i use: gentlemen (or guy..depends who you're talking to)

as in:

some of the gentlemen i see, I've been seeing..
a gentleman who visits me, who's been visiting me..
one of the gentlemen i know..

works in all situations and i doubt you can offend anyone

This is funny coming from a guy who calls himself "pooncrawler"

Pooner, client, customer, hobbyist whatever, it doesn't matter to me.

 

[Pantsnake]

You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me RayJay, or you can call me RJ or..............

PS: Just don't call me "WalletBoy" like my daughter did once.

 

[mustangjoe]

just call me a horny, perverted, hooker love'n john.

The term 'hobbyist' is the stupidest of them all. "I'm a hobbyist"? That makes no fuck'n sense. It's an attempt to be a politically correct term for ‘john’. This PC shit is getting out of hand; fuck it all. I ain't no fuckin 'hobbyist'. I pay to fuck hookers. I'm a fuckin' JOHN!

 

[wannaliquorbox]

doesnt much matter, as long as you dont call me sucker to my face.

 

[HeMadeMeDoIt]

I'm perfectly happy with either John or whore mongerer. I don't need to convince myself that I'm on a date to romanticize my encounter with a hooker I AM a TRICK! The day I can't see it for what it is would be a good day for me to quit and take up a new hobby.

 

[LonelyGhost]

What do guys prefer to be called...

'hung-like-a-horse' or 'sex-god' ...

 

[wolverine]

'hung-like-a-horse' or 'sex-god' ...

I was going to say that, but if that was actually true then I wouldn't have to pay for sex.

Client is the term most used at MP's if an SP is talking about us to someone else. If I'm in the shower afterwards, I've heard girls say "so and so's client is in the shower".
Hobbyist would never be used verbally, it's only used in writing about "someone engaging in the hobby."
Miss*Bijou's suggestion makes the most sense--gentleman, or guy, depending on how casual you want it to be.

Gentleman - it's classy. I like it. Why didn't I think of that. Oh yeah, that's right, it's classy! Doh!!

 

[CJ Tylers]

Call me whatever you want, just don't call me shirley...

 

[Yman]

How about ' young man ' or ' my boy '

 

[LutherBlissett]

Hmmm, well if I am in the bedroom, "Oh my God!" seems appropriate.

For instance, when she exclaims (as almost all of them do), "Oh my God, I am coming like a Stealth bomber lighting up Saddam's royal palace!"

When I am being referred to in someone else's presence (say, one SP to another), in order of most to least desired:

• The Perfect One.

• My favourite with the cock I dream about.

• My very special friend.

• My gentleman friend.

• My guest.

• My client.

• My customer.

• My last trick.

• My last slavering john.

• My last repulsive doofus.

• The idiot with a fat wallet and a pencil neck.

• The idiot with a pencil dick.

• The Repulsive Slavering Idiot with a Fat Wallet, a Pencil Neck and Pencil Dick That I Can't Wait to See Leave So I Can Wash Myself Down with Lysol.

Omygod

Luther, you're hilarious! Not likely anybody would be calling you any of those less pleasant names.

Yes, I guess "Oh my God!" would do just fine.

Personally, I like "gentleman", "guest", "acquaintance", or sometimes, "patron". It all depends on context and who I'm talking to.

Once, in a very specific case, the word used (if I remember correctly) was "asshole". But that was only because I was really reaching for a polite-ish way to refer to this dude. He was much worse in person.

Asshole? Nice name. LOL And to some a huge compliment I am sure.

That's Dea, polite to a fault.

vancouver.2007, you're right, (those that agree with Dennis Leary anyways.)

Folks
I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me
About you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottoms of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Or maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub-cockle area
Maybe in the liver
Maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon
We don't know

I'm just a regular joe
With a regular job
I'm your average white
Suburbanite slob
I like football, and porno, and books about war
I've got an average house
With a nice hardwood floor
My wife, and my job
My kids, and my car
My feet on my table
And a Cuban cigar
But sometimes that just ain't enough
To keep a man like me interested
Oh no, no way, uh uhh
No, I gotta go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow
In the ultra-fast lane
While people behind me are going insane

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets
And I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summer time sayin', "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in the handicapped spaces
While handicapped people
Make handicapped faces

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singin' this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...
...
NAAAHHHHH!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the world's biggest asshole)

You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadilac El Dorado Convertable
Hot pink!
With whale skin hub caps
An all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights
YEAH!
And I'm gonna drive around in that baby
At 115 miles per hour
Getting one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those grease-ball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a Goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why?
'Cause we got the bombs, that's why!
Two words: Nuclear Fuckin' Weapons
Okay!?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the Democracy they want
They can have a big Democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienemen Square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we got the bombs
Okay!?
John Wayne's not dead
He's frozen!
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer We're gonna thaw out "The Duke"
And he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well, multiply that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off "The Duke"'s gonna be
I'm gonna get "The Duke"
And John Cassavetes
And Lee Marvin
And Sam Peckinpah
And a case of whiskey
And drive down to Texas
And-
(Hey, Hey! You know you really are an asshole)
Why don't you just shut-up and sing the song, pal?
You know, the whole time I thought I was that asshole
And it turns out it was him
What an asshole!

I'm an asshole
(he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole
(he's the worlds biggest asshole)

A - SS - HO - LE!
Everybody!!
A - SS - HO - LE!

*dog barking noises*

I'm an asshole and proud of it!
