There was far more variety on craigslist than we have now on RM. CL ads were anonymous, free, easy to create, and easy to delete. A guy looking for extra cash could post an ad, meet up with a customer, and delete his ad the same day without looking back. It was just an odd job, like mowing lawns.
That must still be going on, but I don't know where they advertise. 

Whenever I come across someone with an exceptionally high rate, I think: My, someone thinks well of themselves! 

CL and Backpage were fabulous back in the day. Some of the hottest providers ever!

It was a serious, skilled therapeutic massage. I asked him to work on my glutes, adductors and psoas and he did. I was draped with a towel. He worked on my groin injury, so of course there was some contact with "sensitive areas" but in a non-sexual way. I didn't "react". Don't know how he would have responded. I think he's gay but I'm not sure. I will hire him again for therapeutic massage and if I'm feeling horny I'll ask about upgrades. I don't know how he would answer but I'm sure he wouldn't be offended or surprised. 
I wish I could give the details I know people are looking for. I just don't know.

Nice guy with serious massage skills. Great deep tissue.
I hired him for therapeutic. He did not undress and I didn't ask about other options.  

No disrespect @Ali Gator but in my view, you’re being too cheap. And the only person who will suffer here is you.
 
You’ve dreamed and thought of this man a lot. Now he’s available and you put obstacles in your own path.
 
I feel you will bitterly regret not taking the glorious opportunity offered to you.

Damn, Justin! 
I like the ad copy, variety of pics, and of course the subject of the pics. You come across as hunky and genuine. If I were near NYC I'd hire you. 
Good luck, man.

Received a 60 minute massage from provider ($220) this weekend. He is indeed a mix of ethnicities including Turkish (the non-Muslim variety) and Armenian. English is his third language, with French being his first language. He's been in L.A. for the last 4 years or so, and new to NYC. His conversation shows intelligence, but the daily smoking of cannabis might be frittering it away.  Some of his behaviors showed either nonchalance or poor etiquette--two examples: sitting on an upholstered chair wearing a damp towel; depositing his clothes on the toilet rather than hanging them on the readily available hooks in the bathroom or asking where he could put them.
Some CoM members might find the above titillating. May be others will have better chemistry with provider than me, and thus a better overall experience. C'est la vie!
The massage-skills: grade D; he's probably watched a few videos or received massages himself. To his credit, he had no problem setting-up my table. While facially youthful, the body is not as toned as in posted pics. I'll just say that he has a small tummy and little muscle tone as of Sat 23 August 2025. The pecker, is however, 110% as advertised, and even better (considering the low-hangers) to the touch.
There you have it. I won't be a repeat customer. I wish this foreign young fellow well in finding his way in NYC. Many of us can emphasize.
 

Discussed here before.  
 

That's Matt. He's real. Lives in West Hollywood.
Great therapeutic massage. Sadly, he doesn't do the kind of massage most of us are looking for. 

They usually look like their pictures, sometimes older or getting soft. A couple have been outright frauds, but I've had more happy surprises than disappointments. In bed, a friendly smile and hard cock are always more fun than a picture. 
Here in LA, it's not unheard of for an aspiring actor or part-time model to dip his toes in. In 25 years I've hired three of those dazzling wet dreams, all had sent me someone else's pics. I was giddy with lust.
I don't count abs or inches, and I have a good time.

Wait, wait! Don't tell me... 

For me personally, when this happens the whole dynamic shifts. You have to be clear about how you came into that relationship and where it’s now headed. Once you start negotiating rates, especially if the other person counters, which he did, you’ve changed the nature and future dynamic of the relationship. The same way I wouldn’t counter their price, I wouldn’t expect them to counter mine.
It’s happened to me a few times where a provider learns what I do and asks for help. I have helped a few, but once that happens, our provider/client relationship is over. We’re now friends, real friends, but not people I hire for services anymore. For me, it’s just too personal once we get into quid-pro-quo territory, comparing whose work is “worth more” or whose time is “more valuable.” That’s a layer I don’t want in the mix, so once that line is crossed, that professional relationship ends and it becomes something else entirely.
