It costs your sanity. No amount of money would persuade me to accept such an arrangement. Unfortunately I’ve never had such an offer to test my resolve!! 

Take away the thrill of getting caught and it takes the fun out of it, no?

@Shawn Monroe Quiet lurking sounds hot - is that part of dom/sub or BFE? Or perhaps I can quietly lurk and watch you lurk quietly?

It is incredibly difficult for me to ask for help.  All the others you mention are easy in comparison.
P.S. The addition of the question adds a new aspect to the original question.  The reason it is difficult for me to ask for help is that I like to think of myself as "totally" independent and able to taking care of all my own need.  At times that is not possible yet I have extreme difficulty asking family members or friends to lend a helping hand.  I absolutely hate thinking of myself as dependent on anybody BUT myself.

Tristan is that guy you envied in high school - billboard good looks, captain of a varsity team, dated the head cheerleader - masculine, affable, and wicked smart. You never reached out because you just didn't think you were in his league - and besides, you were gay.
 
Then you worked hard and did well and went back to your Class Reunion to find Tristan doesn't age and that he's the same great looking leader of the pack - surrounded by guys and girls just like he always was - plus you now learn he's gay too.
 
So now you have that vanishingly rare in life second chance to relive some fantasies and maybe make a good friend. There aren't many real deals in this life - the industry chews up weaker guys and spits them out. The reason Tristan survives and prospers is that he's better than the industry.

This.
And when people think they're anonymous, they act like classless garbage.
Vetted reviews remain the way to go.  Hooboy and Daddy had it right.

Because people don't have the common sense to be discreet when discussing a provider's career.

Some reasons off the top of my head: 
- awareness. Many may not know about It. 
- benefit. There really isn’t any. You can run a successful business and not participate. 
- this forum really isn’t for us. Even the “ask a provider” section. We get talked over (“not a provider, but…”) talked about by people that hide behind screen names and profile pics, and the questions asked either force us to frame ourselves in negative light, or are just someone looking to validate something they’re already gonna do.
- anything you say, can and will be held against you. Sometimes it’s best for us to just be quiet. That’s why I participate much less than I used to, and often just lurk to keep up. 
 
hope that helps!

I never attend Pride. But if I did, and recognised clients.. nothing would be said unless they opened up conversation. Discretion is paramount!!!
But Pride isn’t for me. I really don’t like big crowded events. I’d be fine for half hour but then all the noise, crowds and hustle would start to make me anxious and I’d need a couple of hours on my own. 

I made my reservations for InnDulge; I'd encourage those who might be on the fence about going to give it a whirl; I am still grinning when I think about the weekend!

Canyon Club booked because limited  Inndulge availability and no refund policy

Yes!!! Ive done this twice and it worked out well both times! 
My recommendation is to just find out exactly what he expects from you while on holiday and make sure you are willing to provide that (just like any other booking). If he communicates what he expects, and you can provide that during the trip, then all will go well! Something to keep in mind is that because you’ll be spending more time with him on holiday, you will need to be “up and on” a lot during that time. 
 Go for it!!

M4Mforum and RentMen can work well for this. When a client puts enough information in their profile for me to understand whether I could offer what they want, I'm inclined to message them and say just that. Many of my long term clients began with me messaging them first.
The reviews used to work for this when people reviewed more - based on who you review and what you say, escorts can get a good sense of your desires and whether we'd get along.
