    Well, this is not the smarter remark.
    What @orville said is the truth. $300 is what a hot escort would charge for an hour generally, so $300 for a sensual massage is WAY WAY high, as hot as Rico can be.
    You are totally entitled to spend whatever you want on whoever you want, but on the contrary mocking someone for a totally legitimate statement "because he can't afford him" it's not really kosher.

    I think people fail to realize RM has changed how they allow reviews. You have to be a paid premium member to leave them. So that fact alone will decrease the amount of reviews any provider will get.
    There is a guy I met last year who has been an absolutely outstanding hire for me. He has no reviews. I offered to leave him a review on RM. Of course he still has no reviews because I am not a premium member.
    I don't think it's fishy. I just think most people who use the site aren't premium members... so they can't leave reviews.

    He is either very new at this, or sophisticated enough to realize that there is a niche market for guys who don't try to look like pornstars.

    I never understood why a poster would attempt to tear down the legitimacy of a previous poster, the whole basis of which was predicated upon subjective observations. You say potato and I say po-tah-to...etc.I
    I also think that a more careful reading of the original poster's language would indicate, by noting the emphasis on "body beautiful"--an obsessive focus on looks with less on substance. And bodybuilders' obsession with their bodies fits right into that. Nowhere doe he equate bodybuilders with beauty and imply that they're the embodiment of beauty.....

    Make sure you confirm what he will and won’t do. Many “straight” providers (including this one, who I can speak of from experience)  will be more selective about some services (eg kissing) sometimes based on the client, and sometimes they may not even offer provide at all, so not everything listed to ensure they show up in your searches is actually on the table. Best not to be disappointed and pay for the privilege of of having “straight entitlement” thrown at you (for the record, my experience was of trying to set something up with this particular provider, though I ended up not doing so because of some of these issues - happy to go into more by DM if anyone wants).

    Strafe13 got a reaction from Simon Suraci in When the provider shows up in my social media...   
    I’d guess that this happened because you probably have certain settings enabled in your social media apps on your phone. I think that they default to regularly perusing your own phone contacts for potential friends. So, once you save a provider’s number and/or email to your phone, when the apps (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) do their regular behind the scenes work, if the provider used the same contact info when he signed up, the app will suggest him as someone you might know or wish to follow.  If you’ve only used a burner number (or apps like Google Voice, Text Now, etc.) to contact providers, then so long as you’ve never linked that number to your own social media profiles, you shouldn’t pop up on the providers’ social media apps as a potential friend/contact.
     
    I first saw this happening like a decade ago, which is what prompted me to switch to using apps with different phone numbers when I partake in this hobby.  I also let some of my regulars know when they popped up in my social media apps, so they could either get new business numbers/email addresses, or de-link those from their social media profiles.  Each time I mentioned it, they were very grateful and didn’t think of me as some weird stalker.  More folks are aware of this now, so there’s a chance that this guy already knows and doesn’t mind. Maybe he has a “brand,” so he likes getting as much exposure as possible across all platforms?  Either way, since you use an alternate number and email, I’d think that you’re not at risk of inadvertent disclosure in this manner.  So none of this should be a reason to cancel a booked appointment with a guy you’re already looking forward to seeing.  Have a great time!

    A lot of them contact me when they see I looked at their profiles. And funny enough the guys that do have been in statistics the best encounters I’ve had. They are motivated and I usually meet them pretty quickly. It’s kind of refreshing compared to those you message and don’t hear back for days.

    Yes, Booksy works very well for my massage clients. I include service descriptions, rates, automated self booking, schedule availability, and clients post unsolicited reviews directly to the site. You can even pay remotely online before or after your visit if you like. Everything is integrated. Even my Stripe card reader is integrated. I currently don’t leverage all of the marketing features but that has a lot of potential too. Overall, Booksy keeps me much more organized and saves me time, and saves clients time.
    A percentage of my clients really enjoy the streamlined service and use it enthusiastically. No texting or waiting for responses. All the info is there and it’s instant and convenient. Heck, a client can book me in the middle of the night while I’m asleep and I’m ready for them them the next morning.
    Most clients insist on the old school method of texting me 20 questions and then asking for an appointment, bla, bla, bla. More back and forth about availability….Then text again asking to reschedule, or cancel…I do it all for them on Booksy in much the same way they could do it themselves if they wanted to. All the info is there, so if they want to reschedule for another available time, they can just look and do it in a couple clicks.
    The savvy guys (and women) visit my site and find it much more convenient. They only text for very specific questions or to confirm something, or just to say hi. It’s really easy to use and makes communication higher quality because we’re only talking about things they actually need my attention to answer. Cuts down on a lot of unnecessary back and forth for those savvy clients.
    I don’t advertise every service explicitly, so clients still need to text me for that, but I still use the system to organize my schedule availability and contacts. I can even see under each client what they booked in the past and what they have booked in the future so that I can recommend services when they are inquiring again. 
    If you want, we can start another thread on Booksy and other booking services. It’s a whole other topic worthy of discussion.

    This is (so far) a confusing conversation.  If you have experience with someone and don't recommend him, isn't it better just to say that (and provide a little information as to why you feel that way) rather than suggest that the provider should be avoided because of what the ad says?  I read the ad and wouldn't hire him based on the PNP references.  I assume some other potential clients might be looking for that, but I'm not.  I don't know why the offer of a boyfriend experience would be a cause of concern.  Isn't that what a lot of clients are looking for, particularly for appointments longer than an hour?

    Strafe13 got a reaction from BananaBagel in Adamadonis anyone?   
    I believe I commented on one of the older threads about him from several years ago.  I meet Adam very briefly many years ago, back when he was based in NYC and used to perform as a stripper at the Adonis Lounge, which was then in its infancy, and run out of a bar and lounge in Greenpoint section of Brooklyn.  Everyone here has remarked on Adam’s good looks, but in person he is just absolutely stunning.  He’s also really sweet.  We exited the train station at the same time and were walking towards the lounge when he noticed me walking behind him.  I knew who Adam was from Tim’s promotional emails, but I don’t know if he’d seen me at prior events.  Of course, I couldn’t keep my eyes off of this gorgeous hunk of a man.  He could have taken offense to me eye-stalking him, or been concerned about being followed by a strange, large man on the streets of one of the outer boroughs. But instead, he turned around and gave me the most welcoming, friendly smile.  He must have figured out that we were headed to the same event, since I’m sure he saw me drooling over him on the train too.  He then kept walking as though nothing was wrong, as I’m sure he knew by then that we were headed to the same place. I was way too shy back then to speak to him at the lounge, but I remain convinced that this friendly, silent gesture was Adam’s way of making me feel at ease and conveying that it was okay to look at him, admire him, and approach him. That one positive experience, where Adam showed kindness to a shy, overweight, clearly intimidated, and unconfident gay man who hadn’t yet found himself, has stayed with me to this day.  So, while I’m no fan of right-wing politics (even assuming those are his political leanings), I’d be more than willing to take a chance on an experience with Adam in the present day.  Just my two cents.

    I texted Mr. Mack and it took him a day to get back to me.  Despite apparently being very new to the escort side of this biz, he quoted me a rate of $400/hour.  I haven't responded yet, but I'm leaning towards not booking him.  Those rates for a newbie with no reviews (even on rentmen) strike me a a tad exorbitant, even for this hobby.  But I agree he looks scrumptious!
