No one

I’m happy to opine on the subject at hand, and have, but I also want to share this GIF that I find absolutely hilarious:

And this topic has been beaten to.death over the years.

On a forum such as this that’s bound to happen. People tend to revisit the same topics. And rehash the same talking points. No one is forcing anyone to click on a topic here.

Really? Because only the clients seem to saying it's an issue. All the providers seem to think it's not. 

There seems to be an unspoken working assumption here among some that escorts speak unquestionable gospel and clients always seek to deceive. So that’s likely behind the disconnect…

@Jamie21, normally I say upfront with a potential new hire that eventually I’ll want a telephone call before settling on a booking.

That said, I will not hire an escort I text who calls me without agreeing to do so. I’ve had several potential escorts uninvited just call during a text exchange. Akin to the train, I’m not always in a place to take a call. Furthermore, in today’s world, it’s pretty common to ask if it’s okay to call if you’re in the middle of a text exchange. So I’ll just dismiss a potential hire if he keeps calling when I tell him I can’t talk in the moment. 

@Emir, I’d move on since the head is clearly cut off. And it’s probably cut off because those verified pictures aren’t even his, if he’s real at all.

 I had one guy, early in my dabbling stage, tell me the pictures he posted looked like him although they weren’t him. Pass…

As to “hot guys with old fat men” – 

1) Some guys think fat guys ARE hot guys. 
2) Some guys think “hot guys” are NOT hot. 
3) Some guys think old men ARE hot. 
4) What counts as fat, hot, or old?

For me being OLD SKOL, I won't book with a provider unless the can make a call. Even if just to confirm time and place after text.

Every new escort I hire, I require a telephone call. If we can’t have a few minutes of conversation, then how’s an overnight going to work out?!

Crazy part about the one dude who kept contacting me is that he also kept calling my phone at random times even at 4am. He didn't realize that RM tells us who clicks your phone number. 

Sounds mentally ill, genuinely. Not meant as a derogatory remark against mental illness, but why else behave so inconsistently?

Sadly your experience is the experience of many people of larger sizes, and many face even worse discrimination. Sizism is one of the still acceptable modes of discrimination in our culture today. It hides behind many guises. Like so many forms of discrimination. 

@LaffingBear, I’ve grown much more discriminating about hiring since I started. I don’t think of it as problems I have, or barriers. Just I know better what I want.

 I do find a lot of “new guys” are very poor at attending to my need for attention. But I’m not sure if that’s an age thing or a me thing…

Well that's their loss. Trust me I've had my fair shares of comment about being beefy and hairy, even from randoms on RM

Positively or negatively. Just curious. 

I go to RM to…rent men. If I wanted other social media or another “product” (such as OF, I wouldn’t look on RM. If for some reason I need more photographic or videographic material of a potential escort, I’ll ask and depending then consider based on which platform I’m directed to. I won’t subscribe to OF as a precursor to hiring or discussing hiring.

This looks like a serious case for Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif! 😆

Folly? Perhaps. Then again, they punched their tickets to the greatest adventure life affords us: Death.

Sounds like something Wilde would say!

The CEO of the company that built the Titan is 1 of the 5 dead.  He obviously believed in his product even though he admitted to cutting lots of corners and breaking all sorts of rules in the development of the vessel.  I think of it more a case of an oversized ego desperate to believe his own hype.  But you're right, it's still false marketing, even if the seller actually believes his own bullsh*t.

Andrews went down with the Titanic too.

When we start deciding who deserves saving and who doesn’t then we’re on a very slippery slope. Who decides where that line is drawn?

Oh we’ve long ago decided that. We have “started.” 

The Titanic and the mythos around it is sexy. That’s why this story was in the headlines and likely, to some degree, why it solicited so much support.

Would that the same effort were poured into the fighting going on in Uganda right now. Or the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. But…resources are limited. We make choices every minute of every day who’s getting them. The victims of political violence in Uganda and civil war in Yemen didn’t court disaster like these billionaires did. It happened to them. Should we folks looked for the billionaires? Absolutely. But they also understood the risk. It’s tragic something went wrong, but it shouldn’t be something seen as unexpected or pitiful. Imagine if we poured resources into rehabilitating the previously incarnated? Instead people act like such folks deserve their hard life. Or addicts who end up ODing. We say, “How tragic,” and move on. We say they should know better. These men knew there was risk and took it. Sad, yes. But they knew. 

Am I insensitive that I don’t understand why everyone is so exercised over this titanic submarine? Honestly if they are found I hope they are handed a BILL! The amount of money and resources being devoted to finding five RICH people who engaged in reckless behavior vs the 500 people who were left to callously die off the coast of Greece is shameful.

Not necessarily a red flag for me, but I do find it a bit irritating that sometimes they either fail to read the entire text I sent or just ignore the rest of the questions.  I am usaully only asking about general location and price.  How is that so hard? 

You may end up needing more than 10 texts then! 😏 

@Jamie21, what I mean by rigid is “ten.” As if nine is fine. It’s like saying someone 17 years and 364 days old isn’t an adult but the next day they are. I’ve met 80 year olds who aren’t adults, really. I don’t think anyone is questioning your experience. I just find so many rules around something that’s supposed to be fun, a lot of fun, a bit…unfun.

Many. 

This topic crashed and burned! 😂 

Any of the daddy types get hit up more today looking for a daddy-boy experience? Do you take advantage of today to market yourself that way?

Yes, >10 texts can be a red flag especially depending on how the conversation progresses. I’d say almost all the information one needs is on my website so anyone asking lots of questions either hasn’t read it or is undecided. 

Sure. It can be, depending on how the conversation progresses. It doesn’t mean it necessarily is, however.

It seems to me such a rigid understanding doesn’t take into account the vagaries of life.

Tl/dr: it depends on the type of service sought if 10 messages is sufficient to setup a satisfactory meetup
 

For some meetups 10 messages is sufficient. For others, it’s not. Depending on what you’re looking for, if a provider thinks they know everything he needs to know in less than 10 messages in order to deliver a quality experience, he well might not be the right provider. No provider is entitled to a booking from any client. Some escorts will take the time to understand specific requests while others aren’t looking to fulfill specific requests. It’s also unlikely a provider who thinks 10 messages or less to understand special requests is going to take the time or appreciate reading lengthy explanatory texts, so as to cut down on the number of messages.

Maybe not so much a red flag as a pet peeve…and reason I’ll “pass”

Guys who blur out or cover their dicks in their ads…

If you have a problem with revealing that on RM or elsewhere, then you probably should reconsider being as escort.
