What is this "lengthy chat" bullshit? I hope that was the second lesson you learned. Both parties here have the same mission: ask and answer a FEW questions and make an appointment.
A provider is not your friend, your bud, or your pal. Certainly not an initial hire. The time for chit chat is after loads are shot and you're eating up the end of the session laying bed. MAYBE, after the appointment has been made in the initial conversation.
Lenghty chat, ie. gaining your "confidence, "  is a time tested con man technique.
We repeatedly hear providers refer to chatty clients as time wasters, and say it's a red flag. This holds true in both sides of the equation. If a provider engages in chat vs getting down to scheduling, it's a big red flag, and I'm moving on!

If I went to someone’s home, expecting to be alone with the person and see that other people are in the house without being told, I too would leave. It would not feel safe. It’s weird that you wouldn’t tell the therapist that you had a roommate or think that you should’ve. Would you have appreciated walking in to the masseur’s studio and encountering a roommate or spouse he failed to mention? 

Shooting confirmed to start June/July.

I'm getting an impression masseurfinder is for finding masseurs.  Rent Masseur is more freestyle.  Fair?

Well this topic thread took a turn. It kinda stinks. 

If you have time to casually announce that you’re going to cut the stilton, you have time to get up and use the restroom.  Nobody’s saying people don’t fart; just be respectful of other people.  It’s not your place to decide for others whether they should be ok with having to smell your rank internal organ odor.  Massage therapists didn’t sign up for that.
I’m still in total disbelief that the OP thinks it was the masseur’s reaction that killed the mood, and not his proclamation of flatulence.

I have no words.  No wait, yes I do.
You nasty.  You nasty and you lazy.  You could have just excused yourself and gone to the restroom, but you’re so entitled that you expected the masseur to just be totally ok with having to smell your fart.  And then you have the nerve to act like you’re the one who’s been wronged.
Seriously, you nasty.

More like a CC.  Several copies have been floating around for years, from the same sender.

not cyber-bullying 
the OP comes here regularly posting his ongoing complaints about his chosen profession & he knows the type of responses he will get.  My sense is at this point is he wants attention, not a solution to his issues. 
the other members continue to post mostly helpful suggestions, but also know that the OP won’t take any of their suggestions.  they are participants in the back/forth that they know will go nowhere.
you guys may as well just go back to the deposit thing again and beat that dead horse one more time. 

Something that truly mystifies us all.

It’s tough love.
See you next thread, Jarrod 👋 

No, I said “it appears that your operating model doesn’t work”, based on your own comments. I’m suggesting that using hotels as a venue is a fundamental flaw. Hotels aren’t going to change their operating model because the check out time clearly works for them (as in their whole operating model makes them money). But I guess most of their clients are using the hotel for the main purpose it’s intended rather than using it to host clients. I don’t think they’ll change how they operate to appeal to the travelling escort market so you have to adjust your expectations around what’s possible within their model unfortunately. 
Also I didn’t offer any solution because I know you don’t want suggestions (that’s based on experience). 

The suffering you endure bravely, without complaint. 😇
 
Oops…
meant “we”
 
 

Jarrod: It is obvious to many of us that you are unhappy being a provider. My wish for you in 2024, is that you find a vocation that is lucrative and brings you happiness.

It appears that your operating model doesn’t work? Although I guess you might come back with examples of times when it does work of course…. 
But I’d suggest that if it doesn’t work > 80% of the time then it’s not effective and you need to change something. The world won’t change to suit you; you have to change to fit the world. I don’t travel so I’m not going to offer any ideas except to say that if I book a hotel room (I use them for filming) then I use DayUse which provides rooms by the hour. Usually at affordable rates and at convenient times. 
 
 

I get that inflation affects everyone.  I can tell you that I didn't get a 25-33% raise recently, though, so trying to rationalize an increase from $300 to $400 per hour or $400 to $500 per hour doesn't make sense.  That being said, this is a market where providers can charge whatever they want and clients can decide to hire or not.  Sadly, my recent salary increases haven't even kept pace with inflation.

If they're screening on looks, they should have the balls to just say so and describe in their ad who is good enough for them to fuck.

They know that will make them look like an asshole to those who would make the cut for them on their criteria, but who are also good people. 
Have met several providers who say something like “open to all races / ages / body types etc” on their profile but have said to me (and I’m sure put in practice) that there’s no way they would engage with XYZ demographic … no different from people virtue signaling in online dating profiles saying similar things but in practice having clear boundaries based on such criteria. Which is fine hypocrisy aside  .. but … if you’re a provider, don’t expect the professional respect you say you crave if that’s the way you visibly operate based on documented behavior.

Then I wish I was friends with your friends.
