Reading review comments on Rentmen

FUCKMEREALGOOD😁

Ha! “Glean.” I’ve got big thumbs...

I had a client account for years because I enjoyed looking (although I never hired). I switched to an “advertiser” account in October.

I don’t recall the specifics, but I do remember this, and yes, it was my fault. I’m sorry. I made a few mistakes in NYC and overextended myself. Learning as I go. 

I spent another great weekend with Cooper in Atlanta over Memorial Day weekend! 😍 
Sadly,  I see we have some trolls posting hateful comments on here now.  I joined this site back in March after I found Cooper's profile had a thread and I wanted to share my experience with him.  I don't understand why these trolls are on here spewing hate or why having a newer profile is an issue with them.  I'm sorry that I don't post hundreds or thousands of comments on here.  I'm out actually experiencing time with escorts! I've done 16 overnights with Cooper since January of 2023.  I have a profile on Rentmen that I created in 2019 so maybe that will give me more credibility lol
To the trolls, please get outside and touch grass!  To everyone else who actually is on here to share their experiences and get information on guys that may interest them, continue posting.  It's great to see all the positive comments about Cooper!  Please DM me if you want to chat about him.  

I don't know if folks saw my teaser in the Lounge for the new review site, but with the new system we will have the capability to have multiple categories of things to review.  This will include things such as:
 
Inside of each category will be items (either a person or a place).  It's basically the thing being reviewed.  Each item depending on what category that it is in can have a set of questions/fields associated with it.  This allows us to ask different questions for each type of item being reviewed.  
Within each item will be the ability to have reviews.  Again, since different categories can have different types of needs, I can create different questions for the reviews themselves.  Think of the reviews as descriptions of the encounter.  You will have an item (aka the masseur) and then the item will have reviews that describe member's encounters.
Given the progress that is being made with the new review site, I'm ready to start figuring out what information we want to collect.  This is where I need your help!
I need to collect both the types of categories we want and what questions would be in the category.  For example:
ITEM INFO
Contact Info
Ad URL Phone Email Website Physical Info
Age Ethnicity Height Weight Body Build Style Massage
Type (Sports, Deep Tissue, Erotic, etc) Experience (years) Location (In-call, Out-call, etc) REVIEW INFO
Location (City, State, Country) Date of Encounter Session Type (In, Out, etc) Session Length Rate (Price ranges...  100-199, 200-299, 300-399, etc) Would You Hire Again (Rate of 5 stars) Did They Match Description (Rate of 5 stars) Lived Up To Expectations (Rate of 5 stars) Review Details (A text box similar to replying to a post to free-form describe your experience.) I need to do this for both individual masseurs and for spas.  I would anticipate there would be different things you would want to know about a spa versus someone who is freelance. Let me know the types of info you think are critical to ask about both the item (person) and about the encounter itself.  

Sorry let me make that clear:
 
 

I have a cautionary tale on this topic.
I started hiring in my late twenties/early 30s. Almost 20 yrs ago. I had several close gay friends - a few were especially close and remained close until a year or so ago. I was always honest with them and told them about my lifestyle which I summarized as my gay friends were my family and my romantic needs were outsourced to external vendors i.e escorts.
A couple of these friends also knew descriptions of some of the guys I met and about my good and bad experiences. 
My general thinking was as I was honest and upfront about my choices, it should be ok. One friend expressed minor concerns and others being very progressive were non-judgemental. This lifestyle choice never seemed to come between our friendships. These friendships were my primary support structure.
Fast forward twenty years later, as the pandemic and related stresses rolled in, and as the political polarization grew, one of the progressive friends who could not hold a job down and over the years grew somewhat jealous of my modest success (basic ability to have a good paying job for all these years) had a fall out with me after getting drunk. The words that came out of his mouth were eye-opening. He said you might be successful, but you pay for s*x. "You are a pedophile that you go after young guys" ( I have never been with anyone under 23 - but I do admit my preference is for escorts between 25-35 ). He called me all sorts of names. The alcohol and built in jealousy brought out how he really felt about what I thought was an honest and upfront lifestyle that I personally have no qualms about as long as there is mutual consent and no exploitation. Another close friend, who departed a year before this one due to political differences (he was tea-party supporter and later a Trumpster and I am somewhat left of the center) which he grew especially sensitive about in the polarized pandemic years, also mentioned about me 'hiring hookers' as one of my bad traits in our final argument.
So 20-21 years ..after being very close friends - almost equivalent of a family - I realized that friends, no matter how progressive, harbored negative feelings toward my ability to hire the best looking guys to have some fun. Those came out eventually despite them telling me it was cool with them through the years.
So, my advice is do not overshare. Gay friendships fall apart, friends are not family. They will use this against you when they no longer want to be your friends. 
With this experience, I now have become very introvert. 
 
 

Here’s what I pay:
RentMen: $30/mo 
RentMasseur: $40/mo 
MasseurFinder: $105/mo 
Booksy (my own site): $33/mo
I tap out at ~$200/mo. 
MintBoys: free, no upgrade. They accept bitcoin payments exclusively, which I don’t have and am not willing to use. If they accepted credit cards I would try it out.
Others I might try a month trial to see if it’s worth it.
Any suggestions or preferences for what clients like to use more?
