Interesting thread. The only posters that say they've met him have very few posts to their credit. Yes, you have to start somewhere but when the only posts come from them, and one protests bit much, well....... The guy takes the name of pornstar who had enough career to photos and an easily found real name with some semi-recent social media; so you could see he wasn't the guy. The OF sounds like the most scammy type---very brief, poorly shot videos, so whole thing sounds like a grift and hardly worth 3 threads. There was enough initial interest in this guy that there seemed to be some unicorn hunting behavior---despite plenty of warning, there's always someone who wants guys with negative leading experiences or questionable supporters hoping they'll be lucky. Usually, they're not and it's better to save your money. My 2 cents on Atlanta: I used to live there and have frequently returned for work. It may be similar in size to other cities, but it's , eh Atlanta. There usually have been a small number of credible, reasonably long-term guys, but also quite a few who come and go (w/o much credibility) and and many who don't last long or simply not very good or reliable. Atlanta is very transient, esp. among younger people. It's also frankly kind of grifter-ish with lots of would-be entrepreneurs chasing a fast buck and looking for people who are ultimately bigger suckers than they are. It also has a poor reputation among traveling guys---fewer and less lucrative customers than they expect.

I think it's more typical to be a trainer or go into real estate than to be a lawyer. Some go back to the kinds of jobs they had beforehand--hospitality, bartending, haircutting. Some comeback after having done physical training and real estate. What most of these have in common is that they are Plan-B occupations.

Can't be bothered. I'm surprised anyone who had to deal with his unprofessionalism would try again.

An incredible flake---ghosting in the middle of a texting exchange and I wasn't the only one.

That’s been answered—29–upthread. What hasn’t been answered was whether his pcs were accurate.

Is her vers/top (as advertised) or fully versatile?

There have been a bunch of ads for ex-Mormon missionaries, based in SLC. They've gotten passes because of pic requests in past threads. Is this the same guy as those?

What are the barriers and requirements? It’s not helpful without examples.

Matt Stevens' recent pics on his ad look like his current OF content and the Twitter posts that support it.

At least he’s alive. I recall him being a hot mess. The only escort I know of who attended my high high school—not exactly a qualification.

He's been discussed in passing, mostly. I saw him a coupe years ago when he was in NYC. He subsequently moved to Florida and was doing OF rather than RM. He's witty, engaging and versatile--a good BFE in my experience. His ad seems more fetish-oriented than in the past and i can't comment on that. He still has OF, as well as Twitter/X, so you can get some idea what he does. He also has an interview with MasculineJason (irritating interviewer but interesting interviewees) and Demystifying Gay Porn

Saw him ages ago--one of my first hires. He was truly professional in every respect and provided a good experience. Sounds like he's continued to maintain this.

And this isn't Conner Kline the pornstar.

Is this they guy who had a dog who received as much mention as him? I seem to recall that the dog would be in the room or there may have been an expectation to bring dog treats. I like dogs, but the set-up seemed odd. I also seem to recall mixed reviews in the past.

I forgot his other name. He switched to Mike Austin when he partnered with another, versatile guy who later departed Atlanta for Chicago.

Macguy247--is it Mike? I remember when he started because an acquaintance raved about him. It was back when escorts had their own DIY websites.

Any experience with Jack Showers? JackShowers - Pornstar Performer, Rentboy, Gay Massage in Chicago, IL | RentMen RENTMEN.EU Pornstar Performer & Rentboy in Chicago, IL - JackShowers: Here to submit I did a search to no avail. His dates in DC might not work, hopefully he'll be back.

He began as "Mike Nine Inches" about 25 years ago in Atlanta.

The period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a frequent time for escorts to travel, so availability may be an issue. Bodybuilders sometimes are limited in what they will do and at least one of your guys (JakeTylerVegas) has "ask me" for orientation and position. So I would further second your being clear about expectations. My starting place with any provider is the question of whether they have a coherent identity---do the pics match what they say about themselves and what they seem likely to do. Newbies often don't have a lot of pics but still---for example, tops should have a dick pic; bottoms should have an ass pic; if they do fetishes not all of them should be shown--there should be a state. Also, do they describe who they are and at least some of what they do--if it's all about "high class", etc. that doesn't help and guys who trade on some sort of social status often are just trying to justify a higher price.

No dates in his ad. I think he's often hired by a regular poster who is interested in Eastern European guys and keeps up on who is worth the effort.

Been to New Orleans many times. Yes, it has a higher crime rate than most other cities (and has for decades) and you need to be more cautious, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. New Orleans is that rare tourist trap-y place that's fun even though it's obviously a tourist trap and unlike most tourist traps, you can find very good food. You need to follow the usual guidelines for being in a city--be aware of surroundings, go out with other people, if you can. Canal Street has major hotels but it can seem desolate on a weeknight. The Monteleone is close to Canal, but at the beginning of the French Quarter, so it has a good compromise location. There are other places worth seeing besides the French Quarter including the Warehouse District and the Garden District. There are numerous themed day or evening events throughout the year, that mostly target locals so you may find something that can draw you to one place or another.

A number of years ago, when agencies still existed, I tracked turnover among their providers over the course of a couple years. One thing that stood out was almost half the new guys didn't last a month. Anecdotally, I've noticed that to be a constant over time and I avoid anyone new. The couple times I did hire new guys, they seemed very disorganized (I may have been their 1st clients in both cases), asking for more time, pics, etc.) which frankly took away some of the desire on my part. So....if someone is truly new, I give them a pass. Let someone else train them up and if they stick around at least a month, I have some faith that they making a go of this. Younger guys (those under about 25) also tend to be less organized as business people--they forget the lube, don't understand how different kinds of cities work, etc. I'm glad I'm not usually drawn to twinks. What's also clear is that if someone leaves the business, they often return, but frequently it's not for long. Again, I wait to see if they're committed to their comeback tour. My guess is that many guys have an exit strategy--they plan to do this for a fixed length of time or until they build a nest egg or pay off a debt. A very small number truly make it a profession and many fairly long-term guys have something else going on---they may be writers, artists, students, etc.

I believe he's had other names in the past--his main pic has been around forever.

So can we come back to Allen King and establish if he’s available and what he charges. Cade Maddox has had enough comments on his own threads.

He had an RM escort ad on and off for awhile--the expired indicates that he started in 2017-----he started off as a regular escort and then switched to "cuddling". He seemed to move his base between Chicago and Nashville. Many if not most of the pics on the masseur ad are several years old. The escort ad pics include some that are probably more recent than the massage ad.
