Archangel

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.

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?

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.

You mean horrible? Constant phone checking and general lack of interest. It was an overnight. I don’t expect his undivided attention for 8 hrs, but I’m not paying him to play with his phone and talk about himself.

A few days ago I had a horrible experience with a new guy. Lesson learned. Stick to the trusted regulars, even if it means less frequent hiring. I prefer a more secure, lower risk investment than a potential big payout on a risky venture!

Matt actually enjoys bottoming a lot. He just gets asked to top mostly, for the obvious reason 😜

I enjoyed my time with him.

If an automated message tells me a different preferred way to communicate, I’m fine with it. I sometimes find the way rates are listed in the automated messages offputting but I can’t exactly tell you why some do and don’t. On the whole, I don’t care for them. If the shoe were on the other foot, and I reached out when I had time to plan a meetup, but didn’t hear anything back until I was otherwise engaged, and had my messages or texts set to an automated reply, I suspect a provider would consider me uninterested even if I am.

Or they’ve gotten poor reviews removed somehow.

@Jamie21, has any client ever said that you? 😳

I’m always serious when I inquire. This statement actually means “don’t contact me unless you will book me regardless.”

Tangential: I hate Grindr.

I am by no means “hot.” But I try to be kind. I explained once to an escort that I was booked with to go on a trip that circumstances had changed. I asked him if he minded not going on the trip and just staying at my place for a week. He said he preferred the trip and if I had to pay him afterwards, he trusted me to follow through although he said that’s bit him in the ass before. I then insisted I would pay him his fee regardless. I managed to sort things out so the trip was still on but I can’t help thinking genuine kindness on both sides Made that interaction more pleasant.

Some guys are changing their usernames every other day. That’s what constitutes a red flag for me.

I find this particularly annoying. It’s not a “red flag” because of how many guys do it, but the list is useless unless it’s very short, and in that case, it rarely offers anything worth paying for.

I had been hiring a guy a while back a few times and he told me he was 35 but advertised 28 because he could pass for it. I guess it matters to some guys. As long as he can perform and we have a good time, what does age matter if I’m satisfied?

I prefer Boston. Philly has a good gay life. More than Boston.

No headshots in the ad I also as a general rule interpret short text messages, especially in response to longer ones, as generally uninterested. Me: Hey! I saw your ad and would like to ask a few questions. Could you please tell me your rate? Your ad says you’re versatile. Do you prefer to top? I prefer BB. Is that good? Him: Hey. Yeah. If I have an interaction like that, I just move on. I’m going to get frustrated long before we ever potentially meet.

Did I pick a bad name? Some friends call me Archie because of the archangel connection.
