I see what I'm interested in and my good sense (and closer reading) goes right out the window . . . 

I was about to add him to my buddylist when I saw his hashtags.

He listed PNP as an interest and specifies the hashtags "party" and "pnp." 

Moderator's Warning: Stick to the topic (a provider who requested a deposit when the client was in the lobby) and stop the bickering.

made a date yesterday, traveled 45 minutes on the NYC transit system to the provider's hotel. texted him i was in the lobby and was told i neeed to make a deposit. weird. and the deposit had to apple pay. no other options. lol. seriously. texted photos of the hotel lobby and was told i'm a time waster. sigh. 45 minute trip home. who's the time waster. then he had the nerve to text a tirade because i refused to pay the deposit. dear lord.and then a friend of his started texting me about how grotesque i am...a new low. 

WTF? He wanted a deposit to let you up to his room? That's crazy. And then to pull the abusive shit? You certainly dodged a bullet there.

Long ago he advertised as DesertCowboy and advertised as GoodCompanyAZ from 2021 to at least June 2023. I hired him several years ago and wouldn't repeat.

The thing is - I often ask providers what their 1 and 2 hour rates are, and I cannot recall a single instance where they also gave me their 2-hour rate. They only give me their 1 hour rate. No idea what that always happens.

Hmm - for me, guys always reply with either their 2-hour rate or that they don't offer multi-hour rates at less than their hourly times the number of hours.

...Often, when an escort quotes me 300 or 350 an hour, I simply ask, "Would 500 be good for 2 hours then?" Although there's something of a "discount" involved, I usually don't get turned down or get a "compromised experience," since most providers offer that anyway. And if they don't, I'm not haggling over it.

My experience is that most guys (not all, but most) will offer a "session rate" as @MikeBiDude called it. Typically, I'll ask "what are your rates for one, two, and three hours?" It gives them the opportunity to offer a "session rate" without me having to ask about a "discount." 

Getting the thread back on-topic...No, I do not think you should ask for a discount. If the services are not what you typically get (i.e. a massage on a table) then don't hire the provider.

In 25+ years of hiring, I've never experienced this. Then again, in 25+ years of hiring I haven't "rejected" anyone. I've declined to hire for various reasons (out of town, budget didn't allow, I was tired or sick...) but have always said something like "Hey, thanks for letting me know you are in town. I'd love to get together, but I can't because [insert reason here]." 

Whether your gut says "yes" or "no," you should always follow it. Doesn't matter whether you are a backup client or not. Follow your gut.

Although he tends toward dom-sub interaction, he’s actually really down to earth, so BFE seems very possible. I enjoy the afterglow time with him just as much as the rough and tumble part; it feels intimate.
Engaged, handsome, super masculine, not a clock watcher, reliable. The list goes on and on. (I’ve been seeing him for quite a few years.)

Thanks for that feedback. I considered hiring him last time I visited NYC but ended up hiring someone else. Nice to know he can step out of the dom persona. 

For those just tuning in, here's the link to his RM profile and to the rentmen.eu version.

Ironically…a friend of mine just yesterday was praising the Coravin system. I’ve not used it myself…I still use a simpler one on occasion:

Amazon.com

WWW.AMAZON.COM

 

The VacuVin works great. The Coravin just seems like a waste of money.

I've never had a problem booking with Mike. He is always prompt with his replies and is ready when I arrive.

He is very responsive on Rentmen - just ask him. 

What is this "ask him" of which you speak?

In all seriousness, though, I can see why potential clients ask here. Some providers say "yes" to anything and then change their minds.  To me, asking here should be in addition to asking the provider, not instead of doing so.

In New York City? Ummm

That used to be the standard before the pandemic. It's been almost five years since 2019. Plus don't forget the inflation. I think 300 for an hour should be the standard for cities like Dallas, Atlanta,  Houston, Tampa, etc.

What about 2 hours?

We will alert the Bureau of Escort Affairs.

But seriously...the market determines the price. If the market will bear $300 - $400 per hour and it doesn't bear $400 - $500, escorts will charge $300 - $400. Escorts who try to charge more will quickly learn they can't get more.

Although he started advertising on RM on 3/22/24, his ad popped up in Phoenix this morning (3/26/24). He wasn't in Phoenix last night.

I hope someone from the RM parent company is reading this...and realize it needs to be fixed. When I search for ALL locations, I want ALL.

A more effective way to bring this to their attention is to contact them. The link can be found here:

Very unusual.  He only ever bottomed until recently as far as I know.  

I hired him for the first time on November 11, 2020 and he offered to top me.

Is it Silicon valley or the post-pandemic aesthetic?  I have noticed hotel rooms are invariably painted grey with bare floors, and I attribute it to a desire for the rooms to look "clean" as in literally "clean."

Good observation, but the trend toward grey, greige, etc. started a couple years prior to the pandemic. However, it might have accelerated that trend's spread.

Quite interesting quote in the article:

"It is an extraordinary footnote that Ms. Price was able to buy her Greenwich Village townhome in 1961, well before the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The Fair Housing Act prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin or sex."

I was thinking the same thing.  

It happened a few minutes ago. Re-booted my computer, cleared my cache, relaunched the browser and all was well.

37.8% of statistics are made up on the spot.  It's probably the same with reviews.

I was about to post something similar!

I am in a slight quandary.  

Some escorts of whom I am quite interested and desire to me have their ads at Rentmen.com; others only appear on Rentmen.eu.

 

I've never experienced this. Do you have an example to share?

...I prefer to see my men on the latter, for it provides their photographs in screen size therefore affording a lot of visuals and allowing me to be much more interested in making contact...

 

Did you intend to say "I prefer to see my men on the former"? Asking because the screen-sized pics display on rent.men, not rentmen.eu, as below:

This is the thread that made me take him off my 'to-do' list.

I'm curious. What about this thread made you change your mind? In the thread, sixteen different members, including longtime forum members, reported having good experiences and six have reported otherwise.
