  1. Any info about this new provider in NYC. https://rent.men/texastwunk He's only been on RM for two weeks, has only one pic and seems only to log into RM on the weekends, which might make sense given his day job. He was briefly discussed in the TwunksintheCity thread, but I think he's neither of those guys. Anyone tried to reach out to him or recognize him if he's a name-changer? I've sent him a message on RM, but haven't heard back. Maybe I'll hear back on the weekend. Any info would be appreciated.
  2. So it looks like Texastwunk (https://rent.men/texastwunk), who this thread started with, is neither of the TwunksintheCity. I'm going to start a new thread on Texastwunk, since the TwunksintheCity have taken over this thread.
  3. I agree that seeing providers who host reduces the frequency of these problems. What I've discovered from providers who use Dayuse is that there is an option (or maybe it's limited to certain hotels) for not paying when you book the room (or paying a nominal $10) but paying only if you check in. I've met providers on the street in front of the hotel to confirm we're both there before checking in.
  4. As everyone says, it depends on the circumstances. If the provider is hosting and his place isn't that far from my home or my office (if I'm coming from there) or in a decent part of town (so I can do some window shopping or visit a museum), I don't mind a delay of 30 minutes or an hour. I have been burned, though, by the 30 minute delay followed by another 30 minute delay followed by another, so now when the provider says "can we start 30 minutes later" I ask "is 30 minutes enough or do you need more time?" If they say they need an hour, I'm fine with that, but if they ask for more time at the end of the 30-minute delay, I bail. I might schedule with them again in the future, but not that day.
  5. I've been enjoying this hobby for twenty years and I've never paid in any way other than by handing over a stack of bills (no envelope). The money has only ever been refused by Asian (not Asian-American) escorts. Some of them will accept the cash if I offer it with two hands (which I do regularly now in that situation) while others ask me to put it on the nightstand or a table rather than receive it directly. I am also puzzled by the OP's experience.
  6. He (texastwunk) just joined on May 1. Maybe he's limiting his marketing to see what sort of interest he generates before he expands his pic offerings. His ad text is good and, while he looks good in his one pic, it's more of a teaser. If he's telling the truth and he has a day job, maybe he's also worried about too much exposure and won't go any further publicly. Let's let him play it out. He might be good or great at escorting or he might not. Time will tell.
  7. I get them from the check-out cashiers at my supermarket! They print the receipt, circle the review website on it and ask me to leave them a review. Of course, during the trip home, I think about what I'm going to say about the experience. They efficiently scanned my purchases? They packed them appropriately, with the eggs on the top of the shopping bag? They told me to have a nice day as I left? It's ridiculous, but then I worry that in this data-driven world, their pay may be effected by whether and how I respond. So now I do the only thing I could think of. I go through the self-checkout line.
  8. I was meeting a regular in LA years ago for an overnight, but he got stuck late at work and we missed our dinner reservation. I suggested he pick up In-N-Out burgers for us on the way over, which he did and which we ate cold between fucks. One of my favorite dinners ever.
  9. For many years, I avoided hiring "pros' but sought out (on Craigslist and then Seeking) guys who were non-pros but who were looking for someone to help them out financially in exchange for sex. I quickly learned to identify and avoid guys who were desperate for money for the reasons DMonDude describes - constant pestering for more to deal with a never-ending series of "surprise" financial catastrophes -- the phone bill, the rent, tuition, all of which were totally foreseeable to a responsible person. I instead tried to meet up with guys with steady incomes that paid their basics but not much more. A little discretionary income made their lives a lot more enjoyable, and I was happy to provide it. With Craigslist long gone and Seeking kind of a mess, I decided to avoid wading through 'gen' postings (or even worse, trying to guess who might be interested in a gen older man) on grindr and sniffies. Now I just hire professionals off RM. I have no complaints about the change, but I do miss those innocent (if that's the right word) young men I met in the old days.
  10. It does seem to be a race between Lithgow and Lane. Lithgow is fantastic in Giant, though I thought the play was a bit weak. Lane is an insider favorite (he's won three or four times) and I'm sure he's amazing in it. I couldn't bring myself to see it because I hate that play. I know, I know, it's the pinnacle of American dramaturgy, yada, yada. I still hate it! I am rooting for Lithgow because he's 80 years old and we won't see him on stage much longer. I know some of the more strident wokists are angry he's working on the HBO Harry Potter project, but i hope they don't hold that against him in the vote.
  11. Client here. I tend to reach out to a potential hire a few days in advance and use the RM chat function to ask any questions about his ad (and ask to see private pics if he has them) and also to point him to my RM profile, which has a decent amount of information about me. That's easier than transmitting all that info via text. The issue, though, is that it sometimes takes an escort a few days to respond, by which time the window for hiring has passed. I'm guessing you won't get many same-day hires if you don't have a phone number. Good luck.
  12. The biggest problem I have in this situation (which has occurred often in my decades of hiring) is figuring out if my regular provider is now just going through the motions or if I am just getting bored with that provider. Either way, I'll tell the provider (without assigning blame) that it's getting a little mechanical and we need to shake things up. if we can put it back together after another session or two, great. If we can't, I say goodbye.
  13. Getting rid of the cat costumes is the one thing I've read about this show that I consider a positive.
  14. Peace, Jamie. We are in violent agreement. Physical characteristics are objective realities that we cannot consciously disassociate from, but the ability to disregard and even to cast an aura of disbelief of those realities are wonderful skills in an escort. A great escort will, while we're together, make me feel younger or better looking than I am. That feeling only lasts until reality again intrudes (I have to look at myself in the mirror the next morning) but I'm fine with that. The temporary relief from reality is good enough, and it's really all one can hope for.
  15. Feeling like the escort is enjoying the session is exactly what makes a great experience for a client like me, but I can sense that even though I know that the escort's ideal lover is not old, fat, ugly me. Learning an escort's preferences might be to the client's advantage. If I can accommodate those preferences, the escort might enjoy the session more and make that enjoyment more obvious to me.
  16. It's to your credit that you have sympathy for someone who is in difficult circumstances. I've hired escorts in equivalent circumstances and, out of sympathy, sometimes do more for them because of it. I give them extra cash or I pay for several sessions in advance. Once, I paid for an escort to take a hotel room for a few nights so they had a place to stay during a deep freeze. As far as I know, all of them could have been exaggerating their poverty to manipulate me, but I believed them and, more important, they always held up their end of our bargain. I'm sorry this kid is in a bad situation, but however bad it was there was no reason he couldn't have shown up for the second day of the weekend hire.
  17. I also need a face pic, both to see that the escort turns me on (and the face is the biggest driver of that) and that he's got something going on upstairs. I don't mean that he's intelligent (we're not going to discuss economic theory) but that he has an active mind that's present and engaged. A good face will make up for a good but not great body, while an awesome body won't make up for a vacant stare.
  18. Why would ANYONE hire him after your review? He's a thief, and just because you exposed yourself to be scammed by him is no reason to exculpate him from his behavior. Who knows what other scams he might run on other clients? I wouldn't let him walk my dog after your review. And you, least of all, should consider hiring him again. He knows he can steal from you and, if you did hire him again, it would be a competition between you trying to protect yourself and him trying to take advantage of you since he knows he can do it without repercussion. Hardly a good atmosphere for a session (though maybe in a kinky way it could be). There are plenty of fish in the sea, and plenty of good and great escorts on RM. Forget this guy and move on.
  19. If I could click the +1 button in this post more than once, I would click it ten times. Escorts, at least the successful ones, are used to dealing with clients with a wide variety of sizes and shapes. I started hiring in my 50s, when I was 5-9 and 205 pounds and it never occurred to me to flag my weight to a potential hire. I just gave my stats (age, height, weight, dick size) and my interests to the escort so there were no surprises. I don't recall ever being turned down specifically because of my weight, but if there was something in that information that turned the escort off more than the money turned him on, I was glad not to see him. To the OP, you are so much more than what the scale says. Also, you're not even that fat compared to a lot of the population. If you're insecure about your weight, try to do something about it (or not, no judgment or pressure here), but don't let it negatively interfere with your life. Not to gloat, because it's entirely due to Ozempic, but I'm down to 175. I also shrunk to 5-8, but that happens when you get old. I'm also just as ugly as I was a quarter-century ago, and that hasn't had much impact on my hiring either. Good luck, be happy and love yourself for your best qualities!
  20. Late to this party, but I'll add the 2021 NYC production of The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Sam Mendes and starring Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrien Lester. The three actors play dozens of characters without costume changes or leaving the stage. It was like simultaneously watching three master classes in acting.
  21. Oh, please no. I am too invested in the character of Langdon for this to happen. After he pulled off the "cowboy shit" with the critical neck injury in episode 14, I was hoping for his redemption arc to be complete. BTW, Patrick Ball is currently on Broadway in "Becky Shaw." Better and funnier than I thought it would be. He's good, too.
  22. How strange. On rentmen.eu, the photos are also listed as premium whether or not I'm logged in, but on rentmen.com, they are listed as premium if I'm not logged in but visible if I am logged in. And, just to be clear, I do not have a premium membership.
  23. I just looked at ZonaTwunk's profile WITHOUT being logged in, and all the photos were blurred out. Then I logged in with my non-premium membership and the photos became visible. I've noticed this before (some photos being visible only if I'm logged in), but don't know if the escort or RM decides what's visible or not to someone not logged in.
  24. Good advice. I've gone further, saying with a new hire that I'm sober (not true) and can't hang with someone who uses or is under the influence when I meet them. I'm not a fan of medicalizing things, but I think it makes the request more forcefully. I'm looking for the escort to be present and engaged during our sessions and any alcohol and drug use diminishes that. I used to have a regular who would smoke a joint before we met "just to take the edge off." I asked him to stop (mostly because of the smell) and the very good sessions we had got WAY better. That being said, for a longer session, I'm happy to have a, um, cocktail with the escort or wine if we are eating (a meal) together.
  25. Jeez, that was pretty much every night during my junior year in boarding school.
