For me, there are three categories:  masseur; masseur with extras; escorts.
I don't assume every masseur is an escort.  I can see how when people do, that it would be offensive, but I don't think we're really that uninformed, and it seems a bit too sensitive to me.  If someone presents themselves as a certified massage therapist, of either gender, I don't know anyone who instantly assumes "escort/hooker".
If you're a CMT, and strictly therapeutic, I don't expect to find you on rentmen, or even rentmasseur.  I'd expect to find you in a spa, through a gym, or medical venue.  If I'm looking for extras, I'm not making a massage appointment at my chiropractor, and expecting the four-hands treatment and a spit-roasting.  Similarly, even if he listed massage and CMT training on his profile, I wouldn't book Austin Wolf to work on a spasm near L4/L5.
I understand being offended if assumptions have been made, but I also firmly believe that where, and how, you present yourself, is really the determining factor of how you'll be viewed.
Regarding the OP, honestly, most escort ads intimidate me, and I'd rather hook up on my own merits, while I still can.  Masseurs with extras though, I like that I'm actually getting a massage, but knowing it can go further if I like the vibe, and I do go into the appointment hopeful that it will go farther, which I wouldn't do if he was strictly a "masseur".

I've definitely met several members and chat with several more off the forum. Definitely would be open to meeting more. If anyone is ever in Denver, feel free to reach out.

I've met more than a couple of guys from this site. 
It's really no different than any other social venue. Starts out with some chit-chat you find something in common or of interest exchange PMs and one day one of you is in the other's city and decide to meet.

There's no protocol at all. Just don't ask if they provide MT and a HE -- and you'll be fine! ☺️

I'm relatively new here, but posted the question because in several chats that I've had, I thought, "I bet they'd be a riot to grab a coffee/drink with."

Proud to be acquainted with and friends with Purple kow in Brooklyn, Rod Hagen in weho and Nate in Long Beach. Given the chance I too would be happy to meet other members of The Forum in a social setting. I find The Men Who subscribe to this service to be clever and very friendly.

If one comes to Palm Springs during the weekend get together one could meet 30 or more members.   I have me\t some others at different locations and have even shared a front seat or back seat of a car with a few.   

I’ve met a few, notably our dearly departed @Epigonos RIP. I attended one Palm Springs Friday pool party but had a family emergency at home and had to leave Saturday morning😖. Also met one of our moderators for lunch once. 

I've PM'd many dozens of forum members about something or other.......have had a beer or breakfast/lunch/dinner with at least a dozen or so.....slept on the sofa in a few members' living rooms.....and have met many forum members at the Palm Springs forum weekend (April) over the years.......
I'm sure many PMs between forum members fly thru cyberspace every day......a member may want further details about a post somebody made or may be able to help with a question or quandary......
find a topic of interest that you can help with and throw somebody a PM........though there are a couple or more forum members who evidently don't like to chat this way, most are friendly and chatty.....keep it light and polite......

I’ve met several folks from the site here. In fact… I’ll be seeing one member later tonight and a couple more tomorrow.   

The first time I saw one was in the 1990's and I didn't know what it was.  I was checking out an adult book store with private video booths.  I was very new to that.  I didn't pay attention to the perfectly hole-sawed opening in the sidewall of the booth until someone poked a finger through with a come-hither motion.  I had no idea what that meant.
I remember visiting another video booth in the 1990's with these neat hinged small doors maybe 6"X9" on both sides of the walls like the doors to adjoining hotel rooms.  Both sides would have to unlock and open before there was access.
I accidentally wandered into a glory hole booth at Midtowne Spa in Denver once.  It was really neatly designed.  The side I stepped into had about three or four stairs to walk up then turn into the booth where there was an opening at waist height.  The other side had the same opening at standing face height.  It wasn't what I was looking for at the time and as I turned around to walk out, I saw a very disappointed-looking man in his late seventies stop shuffling toward the  lower booth.

There's also the whole realm of private GHs.  Look on DoubleList, Sniffies, etc., and you'll find guys at homes and hotels, some with something permanent, like the GarageGH above, and others with a curtain stretched over a doorway.
Why go? 
As the feeder, it could be because your significant other won't give oral, or you've heard guys are better at it (there are some female suckers, but so few cis-women, that you should still assume it's a guy).  You don't want any small talk, you just want a quick mouth, etc.
As the mouth, it could be the chance to suck guys who wouldn't normally let you, or any guy, suck them.  Have you ever been sent the most beautiful dick pics, but all the rest of his pics killed any attraction? GH offers a solution to that.  Same avoidance of small talk as above.
As either, whoever is on the other side, can be anyone you imagine it to be.  I had a friend who had me set up a curtain to try it.  We texted to set it up.  We never spoke, or saw each other, so as far as we know, anyone was on the other side. Maybe he arranged it, but sent a friend from work.  Only think I know was that he was watching straight porn, and struggled to hold in any identifying noises while his legs were violently shaking.
EDIT:  What I do know of public ones (ABS, etc), is that typically the mouth puts his finger through the hole, making a "c'mere" gesture, if he wants to suck.

A deep voice

Wondering what your thoughts behind it.
 
EDIT: pardon the typo in the title. I meant, "why not just hire escorts instead?"

It’s all about establishing a mutual connection & then moving forward if you both want to.

My clean out process takes about 25 bulbs of water over 90 minutes. By that point I’m so annoyed that I just top. I can’t figure out how to be confident that I’m clean enough.

I only hire masseurs. Let's face  many times even getting a truly legit massage it  feels so good one gets an erection. This happens to me all the time. I love being touched. If the connection is right the session has turned into an escort experience. I never initiate it the masseur has. Once a masseur tried up-selling for more and I passed. The few times it has happened it is at the massage rate.

I think I understand why masseurs want me to come back.  I had no idea what was expected, and still fairly new at this, and apparently WAY overtipping. 

Any MT or HE?

Can you message me some filthy details?

Easy fix. I ensure i have my money figured out. $185 is not $200. If I only have 20's, i stop at a store and buy some mints.
