I don't exactly know how to create it, but I would find it helpful to know if a provider was traveling when a member saw them. If I am going to click on LA because I am visiting there next month, it would be nice to know which providers live there all the time, vs providers who traveled through last month and may or not still be there when I visit.

I've seen others recommend Nicola, too, which surprises me. My session with him was lackluster & only slightly sensual, with upcharge mentioned. He seemed to be a decent enough guy, but kind of disconnected.

Well first, I guess because I don't consider myself infallible when it comes to interpreting human behavior. Second, because I think communication can frequently have ambiguity based on individual styles and experiences, so sometimes clarification is significant.

That wouldn’t be a problem … if you didn’t get a reply saying “what, you think I’m available all the time?? “ 😊

I have been offered freebies in the past, but:
1) It's never been from one of my regular providers. It's always been someone I saw while I was traveling. After reading some of the provider responses on here, that makes much more sense to me now. 
2) The offers have always come to me from masseurs. 
3) On all but one occasion, it's always had more conditions. Things like let's do dinner and then come back here, or let's go to X and then come back here, or let's hang out for a while and then have sex. 
4) Other than the one occasion, it's always been less massage and a significantly quicker transition into the extras. 
And, 5) I have paid $0. Not a discounted rate. I didn't charge them for wanting to spend time with me, and since THEY made the request, I didn't feel I owed them any fee. 
And no, I don't have a 6 pack or a 9" cock. No matter how crooked the kettle there's a cover to fit it. To that end, I have a look and presence that some find attractive, and others don't. 
 

That's a hard to quantify answer. 1) It depends on where and how often I travel (in all respects, I seem to have better luck with providers in the Midwest and Northwest). 2) I am certainly looking around less to hire in my "usual" cities because I've established "go to" providers. 3) After an initial client/provider relationship moved to a regular hookup relationship when I now, visit, I don't feel like I can count them.
I will know that as my age increased, the frequency has decreased (I know, that's a shocker 😉). I would estimate probably 1x every other year at this point.

Please note that the "magic button" is more of a dimple or divot under the skin that you can feel but not see. 
Consider this a public service announcement, because you just know there’s 20 queens out there feeling all around their assholes and saying, "button???….I don’t feel a button".

I would take this post seriously if escorts actually provided their clients with a receipt or an invoice for monetary transactions at the end of each session and paid taxes on their income like everyone else does. 99% of escorts don't even disclose their real names LOL. So what kind of freakin' income are we talking about here?! To me the "income" that you are referring to is nothing but extra cash that an escort can make through a private, confidential and verbal agreement with another consenting adult, and it is an agreement that often requires a certain flexibility because it is not regulated by anything, it is exclusively based on some sort of honor system. If an escort feels insulted by a client's request for a discount or a different rate, then they should apply for a regular job at a Spa, a hotel or a massage center, where they don't have to worry about negotiating prices and all they have to do is massage their clients for $30 an hour plus taxes without even having to take off their shorts. How does that sound for a reality check? You can't expect to make between $200 and $300 an hour in cash with a job exclusively based on the honor system, not pay a single penny in taxes and think that you're not going to deal with situations during which you have to negotiate with your clients.
Many escorts that I had the pleasure to meet have always been very honest and actually humble enough to realize that. The ones that act as if their shit doesn't stink have always been a big no for me. Especially the ones that ramble about how professional they are or how valuable their time is, in my personal experience they have always proven to be the most unprofessional and awful providers.

That’s why I come to this site.  It’s great to find out guys that might interest me I can now simply forget about and move on!

And sometimes I am paying to be SELFISH! in addition to the buildup, sensual touch, teasing, great massage, getting to know one another, and all the other great points made here, sometimes I just want the first 1/2 or 3/4 of our time to be about ME! I don't want to care about, or even hear about someone else being pleased, or moaning with pleasure. I want the hands and body of another discovering, trying, and working exclusively for MY pleasures. If I am in  a ME, ME, ME mentality, I find an erotic masseur will accomplish that much better than an escort.

Absolutely reasonable for public meets and buzzing a client in. HOWEVER, I do think hiring a provider is different than a hookup app. That being said, I would expect more than "pic?" I assume a seasoned, professional provider would say what they mean, and mean what they say. I would envision something like "I will have to view you on the building sec cam and buzz you in, so I need at least a face pic if you want an incall."

True, although I assume the name gives a fundamentally obvious explanation of what is going on. RENTmen

But we (the customers) aren’t the ones who lump you all in…. It’s you… the licensed- 100% therapeutic-massage therapists. 
The customer understands the difference and makes a clear distinction of expectations when we go to: Hotel Spas, physical therapy massage studios, etc.  
it’s the “Massage therapists” who usually choose to cross lines of advertisement then are shockingly insulted when a customer desires a more sensorial experience. 
If you are a “professional, 100% therapeutic, massage therapist”, then don’t advertise on Masseurfinder (they actually have Massagefinder for the purely therapeutic folks), Rentmasseur or Rentmen. Create your own website to advertise where you can make your expectations of services clear, and there’s always specialty spas that cater to such needs. But to come into those type of spaces, and then be “shocked” and “insulted” is simply ridiculous. 
There’s room for all types of massage and all types of customers.  
 
 

I nearly always hire masseurs. Only on the very rare occasion, have I hired an escort.
Primarily because I do not generally like hooking up with complete strangers.
I prefer to meet first. A massage is a good starting point in meeting someone. If I like the massage and I like the person doing the massage, I tip generously and inquire if they'd be interested in taking things up a notch during another meet up.
I also like a lot of foreplay during sex and erotic massage with the right guy can be a great build up to a good orgasm, even without fucking.
 

Keep it simple:
1. mt/he?
2. more?

unfortunately this is a sign of the times.  I really don’t care if people are on their phones in a restaurant- as along as they aren’t taking pictures, or otherwise disrupting any other guest dining experience.  And, it doesn’t really work if they are so distracted to cause problems for staff. 
When dining out w others, I do not carry my phone.  Extremely rude imo - why bother with other people if you can’t actually be present  ?
I would go for a total phone ban in museums and Broadway shows. I’ve been behind people texting nonstop through a performance. Again - why bother if you can’t be present ?
 

I'm heading to Prague to avoid all the Coronation nonsense.

Where do I sign up? 

Yup! 

What a scold.  I wouldn't "choose" to show up at my job if it wasn't for financial pressure LOL. And I have news for you: even if we gays were all in church 7 days a week feeding soup to the homeless those "anti-gay forces" would still twist things to make us look bad.  Don't be so naive. 
As long as a person is an adult and mentally competent, they are and should be free to enter into arrangements as they choose.  When I was young and first living in NY city, I regularly bounced the rent check for the cramped 1 bedroom apartment I shared with three roommates in a shitty neighborhood. My food budget kept me thin. At that point I could easily have rented myself out but chose not to. 

The guys I have "exploited" all have better phones, fancier watches, more expensive colognes, and more active social lives than I do.   The ones I have chosen NOT to exploit: Those who appeared to be on something, or mentally-unwell, or too close to the age line.  I can live with myself just fine.
