About five minutes ago, I consumed, with a vast interest, the ad and photos, and video of Mr. Warren Parker, a gorgeous man who's in "the City by the Bay," San Francisco. https://rentmen.eu/WarrenParker
On RentMen he has over 25 reviews and ratings of EXCELLENT (which I converted to the status of STELLAR).
I sent him an instant chat requesting his fee range. Currently, it's $350. He responded expeditiously, for he was on line, and stated that after Christmas his fee will be $400 for an hour.
That fee crushed me, for I was looking forward to his current fee of $300/350.
With chagrin I responded back and relayed that his fee structure will prohibit my seeing him. (...not my exact words to him, for I was delicately tactful.)
If any of you have had the pleasure of his company, please respond. I'll give it much more thought and might relent and pay that amount if I manage to engage his services and purported expertise.
