Exactly! Too many fish in the sea to have to jeopardize my privacy (at least in NYC).

This seems to be the best solution I can see. 

Leave no digital record.  If you're worried about your history, use smoke signals.

Can totally see sharing your primary number for vetted providers (faves and repeats). I've had bad experiences with first time provider meetups and was glad they didn't have my primary number. 

This works but note that people in your iCloud family can click over to the devices tab and see where your iPhone is.  But thats an extra step that most people won't do.

SUMMARY of the responses I’ve seen:

1) Primary Phone - “I’ve got nothing to lose” or “I don’t see any real danger in it”

2) Burner App - seems to be THE preferred option by a good contingent!
3) Prepaid Number - Third option appears to be a prepaid sim to use for texting
4) Whatsapp Business - Using a Burner or Prepaid number to setup a whatsapp business as a secondary whatsapp messenger. 
There were a few other one-offs so I apologize if I didn’t identify yours, but these seemed to be the front runners! 

Thank you! All great suggestions. I am on IOS and I did get another SIM for my secondary phone. I am free!! 🤣
I appreciate your support. Thank you!

1) For iOS, I have found the best method to be an iPad. You can set your iPad to share your location: "Use This iPad as My Location" and leave it plugged in at whatever location you choose. With this you don't have to worry about my co-worker or sister sending me random inquiries "Why were you at this bar at 2am?" 😅 Then when you get home you can just switch it back by selecting the same option on your iPhone "Use This iPhone as My Location". 

For Life 360, not sure if there is a way to swap between devices. 
Google's location sharing via Google Maps does NOT let you switch between devices easily. It seems to choose what ever device it sees as active. 

2) Alternatively, you can get a cheap e-sim for you other phone like $10 for a month (and you can cancel when not in use). This would give you a small amount of data to use, a phone number, etc. 
3) Start kicking people that are being nosy about your life off your friend follow apps. lol I literally just did this.

Your WiFi hotspot will broadcast your location to your telcom. Is this more about not being tracked by friends and family on iOS Find My (formerly find friends) or Life 360 etc?

I'd recently let my RM profile expire. In my case it was that I'm needing to focus on some other non-escort stuff so needed to take a step back from the escort work. It was just becoming a bit hard to manage everything.
I have regular guys who I will continue to see regardless of whether the RM ad is active or not. Just speaking for myself, but this kind of situation might be the same with others who have let their ads expire - maybe they're focusing on other things. It could also be an indication that the guy is transitioning out of the business, or is taking some time off. 

Ugh - I also don't want to use my credit card on the site because data breaches are such a regular occurrence these days. You just have to assume that it will definitely happen. The Ashley Madison breach always comes to mind. 🙃

A few months ago, RM accepted my Bitcoin to renew a provider's profile. Perhaps they recently changed their policy?

I would love to gift subscription on RM, the problem is that they only seem to take credit cards for that - and I don't like leaving a digital trail that's easy to follow. It's odd because they accept bitcoin (there are ways to cover your tracks with bitcoin) for client membership so it doesn't make sense that the subscription "gift" is credit card only. 
As for the lapses, I wonder if providers are seeing business slowdown, where they might not renew right away if business is slow. Any provider care to share their thoughts on that?

Something about this guy keeps me looking to meet...maybe the smile...
Anyone meet up with him recently 

OMG this psychology has definitely worked on me when I feared I might miss an opportunity to meet a particular provider. 😅

A lot of our dear friends will let it expire for a few days because at times they will actually get additional requests for services!   Some clients have that “I can’t let this one get away thought and hire quickly”

Some providers also prefer to dip their toe into the water, so to speak, to gauge interest. As others have said, you can still reach them via RM messaging, as I have.

I think it’s probably more to it than that: recession sounds convenient but it’s also due to different factors: no rates posted, “scammers”, contacts who only contact asking to unlock private pics not book anything, and of course the over populated amount of profiles with selfie phone pics…making it look like just another hookup app, versus a site for attracting paying clients.
Non of that suggestion RentMen isn’t effective, but if a person is expecting high volume like the Hookup apps: it’s not going to happen. Most guys probably get bored with the bullshit, if they aren’t really in it full time. Or they do it briefly for a quick “fix” but aren’t generally relying on it long term. 

I’ll occasionally receive the members gift from someone. You can do it for 1 or I believe 3 months. For guys that often travel, the Gold membership is usually needed but can always upgrade during that time. 

Wondering if this is "yet another recession indicator" but I feel like I've been seeing way more profiles on RM that say "User Name  profile has expired!"
Anyone else seeing this? Are providers migrating to another site?

My buddy in the business let it lapse for a few days after the month expires and he still gets your messages.  So the RentMen fee escorts pay gets stretched out a bit.  A way for the guys to save a little money.
