This would be me. And if I know the person whose words I’m reading (such as reading a text or email from someone) I often hear their voice in my head while I read. Needless to say, I’m a relatively slow reader. I wonder if there’s a correlation between hearing the words while reading, and being a slow reader?

Jake Herbert is another British OF guy who has done content with his dad. Though there haven’t been new pics of dad in a few years so maybe he lost interest.

As others have mentioned, your age is fine. There is a market for everyone, and I expect the market for younger sexy men like yourself is really good. If you haven't already, set up a profile on Rentmen (it's really the only game in town), and if you want to participate here on this website, add your details into your post signature. You've already got some potential clients interested! The main concern I'd have is with your athletic status. It's an asset, but be careful you don't get yourself into trouble with the university. I'm thinking back many years ago to where a couple of D1 athletes had posed for Playgirl, and then got booted off their teams. Granted, posing in a widely-available publication is not the same as running a Rentmen ad, but all it takes is word to get out and trouble could follow. Though you have a very handsome face, you may want to avoid showing it in your advertising. Also, although being on a team is such a hot selling point, you may want to downplay that a bit and just be more general such as "athletic, love sports" or something like that. All that said, I can think of a couple of guys who have put themselves through college as providers. In my instance, it helped me cover grad school expenses, and I'm grateful for that. Turned out I really enjoyed it, and still do all these years later. Feel free to DM with any questions!

I've used iMovie for editing, though don't know how that stacks up against other editing programs. Maybe iMove is better for simple stuff like TikTok videos. @MarkBottom2025, how does PowerDirector different from iMovie? I like the looks of PowerDirector... I'll also agree with wanting to shoot with natural light. I've done a bunch of stuff with only artificial light, and it always looks a bit sad compared to natural light. You'll still want some spot lights to compensate for shadows.

Yes, that's annoying. One of the sites I was looking at (can't remember which one) allows filtering by "home city only" or something along those lines. RM doesn't seem to have that feature, but you can sort by distance, which might help.

I don’t understand the issue with this exchange. The client - at your prompting no less - is just asking if you’re available, and you respond by reading him the riot act. How about responding with something like “yes, when would you like to meet?”

Especially this time of year, I'd guess a lot of this would be guys visiting family or friends, as @NYXboy suggests, so would not be able to host. Travel is expensive, so guys might be staying with friends, or traveling with friends or partners. This would make their schedule unpredictable, and not be able to host. Or they're visiting for another reason like a business trip for their other work, and thought maybe they'd see a client or two on the side but not really thinking whether that would be practical. But that's not helpful to the client! And very frustrating. If the guy just isn't set up and available to work, move on.

I have a husband, and we're able to make it work - with boundaries. One of the things is I always tell him who I'm seeing and where, and when I come home I tell him how it went. A number of my clients know about my husband too. One of our agreements is I do not take overnights here in town. He's OK with me doing overnights when I'm away traveling, but says it bugs him knowing I'm in town with someone else. I get it, and stick to our agreement. I also have to be careful not to take too many appointments, because it takes away from our time with each other. If it feels like I'm spending too much time out of the house, I'll decline some appointments. I like spending time with him, so it's not just him having me at home, but also me being able to be at home with him (and the dogs) too. Ordinarily I'd say don't rush to get married, and instead try living together and see how it goes. But you mentioned your guy is an immigrant, so I'm guessing there is a practical side to the marriage proposition. You'd mentioned that you should have known better, and wonder whether your enjoyment of massages makes you a hypocrite. Don't think like that... you're either being gaslit, or taking on blame that is not deserved. Happy to talk further in PM.

This is similar to my situation. I have a hybrid 9-5 that allows me some WFH days. If I need to meet someone during the day, I coordinate it with my WFH schedule and then block off the time on my calendar as a long lunch. I'm obligated to bill 40 hours per week so have to make up the time elsewhere. But most of my clients are wanting to meet evenings. That works out well with the 9-5, but as others have mentioned, can make for some long and tiring days. If I'm meeting a client at 9 pm and need to get up the next morning at 6 am, that takes a toll (and just becomes worse with age, lol). I only take a few clients a week though, so like @DznNYC mentions, it becomes a highlight of the day that I look forward to.

I had a great massage this weekend with Noah (Holistic Healing by Noah). https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/51077/ Very skilled, very intuitive, and really warm and personable. Great communication. Nice clean apartment with knockout views. He kept his clothes on, but that consisted of a tight tanktop and short running shorts (like the last pic in his listing). I recommend him, and will see him again.

I saw him a while back and really liked him. I was looking for a spur-of-the-moment massage and saw Carlos's listing as Available Now. He responded quickly to my inquiry and we set up an appointment easily. The massage was great, with real deep pressure just like I like it. Carlos is charming, very handsome, and a great communicator. I don't remember what I paid, but it was nothing out of the ordinary.

I’m not able to host either, and it’s definitely a challenge. Most clients want incalls. As @SecretProvider suggests, I also use Dayuse for incalls when needed. An advantage of Dayuse is I can choose a hotel that’s convenient for the client. This works really well for meeting clients in the South Bay.

Yes, if I want to change the rates in my profile, not only do I need to use a VPN set to somewhere outside the US, I also need to change my location on Rentmen to somewhere outside the US.
