Asterisk

And has been pointed out in myriad threads about "rating clients," there are escort-only message boards, blacklists, Mr. Number, etc. to share this very type of information. Not sure what hobbyists are meant to do with this "warning" about an anonymized abusive client here, except sympathize.

For sure! Thanks to @DC Guy 92 for not quietly taking the loss, and instead sharing his useful experience here. (I don't need weeks of cash app headaches, dodgy non-refundable "deposits," or to be hit up for someone's private travel. Grateful to learn a lesson from another's bad experience.)

The Deli is a place to discuss providers. Which provider are we discussing here?

Another possibility is he does not want to have that discussion on the platform you're using. Maybe Signal or another platform would ease communciation.

Many many thanks to the moderators performing the yeoman's work -- necessary to keep things orderly! Second, may I suggest updating the header for The Deli forum? The Deli seems to attract a lot of off-topic threads, so maybe repeating the topic and including a reminder of other folders would be helpful? Right now, it essentially says "An area to discuss providers" and then two rules which describe what it no longer is. Perhaps update The Deli's header to "An area to discuss specific providers in the United States and Canada. Providers elsewhere may be discussed in the Destinations subfolders. Topics that are not provider-specific are discussed in Questions about Hiring. Spas and Masseurs are discussed in that folder. Community Guidelines continue to apply, and as always, please contribute to an existing thread rather than duplicate -- the Search box is located in the upper right corner." p.s.: I agree that resetting the Search default to "everywhere" rather than "this topic" would be helpful. p.p.s.: I would also create a "United States" and "Canada" subfolder in Destinations, and direct non-provider-specific topics there (like "best provider in St Louis"): essentially, make The Deli the "who" and Destinations the "where." Also, I would shift non-provider-specific topics to Questions about Hiring (like "Best tongue in the biz" and "Who will I like best?"). Beefing up other folders, while keeping The Deli focused, might encourage new users to explore more and not use The Deli as a junk drawer that the moderators need to sort out daily. My two cents.

"...then he wanted me to pay for flights..." Like, why did this even come up in the conversation? One of many 🚩. Give someone enough rope and they'll hang themselves. Thanks for the warning, @DC Guy 92.

That's a "Question about Hiring." And no, any agreement would be decided between you and the provider.

Bummer. Contacted him and he said he was coming to town, coming to town, coming to town. Next week, then next week, then next week. Now back in London.

There are still quite a few 1-star reviews, with explanations for the poor review. (Including the detailed one quoted above that still includes provider's real name.)

FWIW, he probably thought you were a "time waster." Everyone's phone has a camera, so claiming to not have a photo is implausible. If you're uncomfortable sending a photo, perhaps just say that -- if he insists, you're at an impasse. If he doesn't, you may have a "go," (but prepare yourself for "YMMV"!).

Prior thread/name?

He was active for four days in January, with no reviews. Chances are low, @wil_again -- you may have to take the plunge. (That said, pics 2 and 5 look like poorly cropped scans or screenshots. Into very few things, modeling and massage. I'm doubtful.)

Sounds like @Oakman and @TMB are in agreement: StudHassan likes older bigger guys.

Now I want to see his ad! So curious!

Looks like "Protected by God" [Blindade por Deus, literally "armored"] and "Only God may judge me" [Só Deus pode me julgar].

Very common for Justin and Zack in Indianapolis who only speak English.

New thread on this provider merged with this older one. The older thread had been dormant for six weeks but comments resumed (coincidentally or not) after the new thread was created,

This "25 year old" has a pile of glowing five-star reviews from 2017 and 2018, then nothing for 6.5 years. Maybe he did start at 17 or 18?

Clamp Art in New York still have a number of his works available. I wish I had the resources (and wall space!) to buy more than I have! Luke Smalley CLAMPART.COM 1955-2009 Luke Smalley Resume Luke Smalley was an American artist known for his photographic work...

Shame that Luke Smalley died so young. Erotic and provocative photography series -- wish we had more from him.

The recipient is pretty sexy! An OF type fella? Anyone know?

So he did not take double the fee for a single encounter? You have been treated fairly?
