  1. Yes, that's true. I figure if the ad is deleted (rather than just expired), the escort has gotten out of the business. I think rent.men leaves expired ads accessible for a long time. While the ad may not turn up in a search, I've been able to see an ad that's been expired for more than a year by clicking on the link in my buddy list.
  2. This is the only reason I can see for sponsoring an expired ad. It can be frustrating when I've looked at a provider's ad a couple of times and/or read positive reviews of him on this platform to try to reach out only to find that the ad's expired and there's no way to contact the provider. I've gotten in the habit of putting escorts that have caught my eye on my RM buddy list and copied their phone number into the notes section. Then, if their ad is expired when I'm ready to reach out, I send a G-rated text saying "I saw your ad is expired but are you still available?" Okay, so it's not particularly G-rated if you read between the lines . . .
  3. In terms of how to say goodbye, I have a few suggestions. First, do it in a phone call rather than by text/email or by ghosting. The relationship has been significant enough for you (and likely for him, given the money involved) that it deserves a conversation, even an unpleasant one. Second, just say that the relationship has run its course, that you're no longer getting what you hoped for out of the arrangement and, as much as you like him personally, it's time for it to end. Do NOT go through your complaints/disappointments/criticisms about what's not been right. You've already explained those to him. If he addresses those criticisms again (blaming you, for example), either say that it's not anybody's fault or say that maybe it is you or just say it's too late to address any issues. One last suggestion. It sounds like this guy has made a lot of money off of you in the last year and I'm sure he's thinking about that loss of income. When I've ended things with years-long hires, I tend to give them a farewell gift of some size to soften the blow. You might consider that. If you do, mention it early because if he's thinking financially, he will keep the conversation civil in order not to lose that gift. I'm sorry it's come to this, but I am glad you are resolved to end it (I've wasted a lot of time with regular escorts even after the arrangement has become unsatisfying). I wish you luck.
  4. I think there's plenty of awfulness to go around. I've heard the son on podcasts. He's very funny and very nasty and cruel (but still funny) when he talks about his father. If half of what he says about his childhood is true, he had a truly abusive upbringing.
  5. I have a suggestion for the OP or for others who don't "know what they want". I think that really think means more that you haven't come into the session with a planned scenario to direct or stage-manage and you're not sure how to get started. My suggestion is to start with kissing (if you're into kissing, of course). That's how most (of my, anyway) unpaid encounters have begun. Better from my perspective to start kissing before the clothes come off, as undressing while kissing is exciting for me. Then, once you're past the "how do we start" speed bump, if the kissing revs your engine), your desires for what happens next will make themselves apparent to you. THEN you can direct where things go, even if that's to tell the escort to take charge from there.
  6. Big thumbs up from me on this series. It's sci-fi but not hard sci-fi (at least not yet), and it's full of Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) visual humor and quirkiness.
  7. Not sure why so many links on this platform have stopped working. Let's try this one for Leo-boy. Hope it works. FYI, I have no experience with the provider.

  8. Haha, thanks! There's a play written by Robert Shaw's son, Ian (who also played his father on the London stage), about the making of Jaws. It's called The Shark Is Broken, and depicts the three stars sitting on the set of the boat while the crew is repairing the mechanical shark. It is pretty clear that his son thought that Robert Shaw hated Richard Dreyfuss. It also revealed (which was news to me) that Shaw completely rewrote the "Indianapolis" monolog because he didn't like the Benchley draft.
  9. From the client side, efforts to schedule time with a provider can be equally frustrating. Like most people, I have a job, I have family and social obligations, I cannot host (unless I take a hotel room) and I have personal limitations on when I can meet up (e.g., I'm usually up by 5am, so an 11pm weeknight meeting just isn't going to work for me), so I have limited times when I can meet. I have reached out to many providers, and actually prefer the ones like you who see a limited number of clients. But because they also have lives, jobs and obligations outside of escorting, they have busy schedules that may not be compatible with mine. That's not anyone's fault. It's just how it is. And that's my experience in NYC, where there are many local and visiting providers. For you, where travel is an issue, I'm sure these scheduling problems are multiplied. My way to address this is to hire the same provider regularly once we've made good contact, but even then there are scheduling problems that we have to work through week after week. I'd suggest you ask in your ad to please give you some indication of when they're looking to hire in their first contact. Many won't or will be very vague, but some will answer "tomorrow evening" or "next Tuesday". At least then you have some idea of whether anything is possible. Other than that, I can only wish you luck.
  10. DO NOT see this movie if you haven't seen the series. I thought it was pretty weak sauce. Most of the joy of it is once more seeing old friends from a beloved series, even if they don't have much to say or do. There's not much of a plot and no real tension. You'd be much wiser to use the two hours to watch the first two episodes of the TV show. I wish I'd done that, and I've seen the series a few times.
  11. How were you able to make such a connection during a massage. Except when extras are involved, my head is buried in that face cradle and conversation with the masseur is relatively limited. And even though I'm of a talkative nature, I enjoy the silence and the technique during the massage. Since convo is limited, my connection with the masseur is much more tactile than intellectual. I have had experience similar to yours with escorts. The sex is ho-hum but the personal/emotional/intellectual connection is terrific. I will definitely go back to an escort like that, hoping the sex will improve with familiarity and that connection. Sometimes it does! If you really like the masseur but not the massage, how about changing the focus of the massage session? I don't mean making it an escort session (well, I don't JUST mean that), but what about asking for a foot massage or a back massage or something else specific?
  12. I watched a couple of episodes in the first season. It was okay but pretty formulaic (of course, that's the whole point of network TV) and didn't clear my "good enough" hurdle. I hope you keep enjoying it!
  13. If a third person popped up in my hiring outreach, I would end discussions right there, as I'd be worried about the greater possibility of them being scammers or the possibility that the escort is not working voluntarily. That being said, I did once have a regular who, a month or more after our first meet, I realized couldn't read due (I think) to very bad and untreated dyslexia. He had a buddy who handled all his written communications. And, yes, I hear you all wondering, after I found that out, there was a threesome involved.
  14. I'm two episodes in. So much table-setting in Episode 1 that I thought about bagging the show, but I clicked through to Episode 2, which seemed to have MORE table-setting but then ends with a clever-enough surprise that I'm in for at least one more episode. I'm not enjoying the gritty, profane Emma Thompson as much as I enjoy more genteel versions of her. P.S. For those who don't know the connection between this show and Slow Horses, they're each based on a series of novels by Mic Herron, an English writer. I think the Slow Horses spy novels are both funnier and better plotted than the novels with private detective Zoe Boehm (that's the Emma Thompson character), but I'm still hoping for a good series.
  15. There is a very big gap between politeness and submissiveness. You can be civil and still refuse to be insulted or taken advantage of. In a slightly different context, I was once beaten up in high school by an extraordinary well-mannered European kid who we regularly mocked for being so polite. (I think I said something untoward about his mother). He told me he was going to beat me up and then did so, though I got a couple of punches in before I was on the ground. Three things about the fight, though. First, he didn't insult me (or my mother), second, he didn't even try to hit me in the face, and third, he helped me up afterwards. I learned a few lessons that day, only one of which was that he had issues with his mother.
  16. I agree entirely with this. We all have "types" as to physical attributes. For me, young or young-looking, smoother rather than hairier, good shape (but not shredded), about my height or taller, a twunk (but happy to drift towards twinkish or muscle guy-ish), a good smile (!) and an at-least-average cock. But just as important is that they have a personality and can participate in a conversation and that they are happy to be seeing me and not there out of need or desperation. That means some financial and emotional stability. I don't care if they invest, haha, but I want their life more or less in order. I had one regular I really loved seeing (we met 30-40 times a year for almost three years), but towards the end he started asking me for some extra above our (already generous) agreed-upon fee - first to pay his phone bill, then to pay for something else - until almost every week was a new need. I believe drugs became an issue for him, though I didn't see any signs, but I stopped seeing him because I wanted a lover (and he was a great one) but not a dependent.
  17. I think this is a semantic thing, just like asking if someone hiring men for sex can be "straight". It all depends on your definition. I have many work colleagues (and even clients) whom I call friends, but the are in no way the same as my social friends or my childhood friends or my friends with whom I have (or had) a sexual relationship. They're all described as friends, but the nature and the closeness of the relationships vary enormously.
  18. Do any of his other stats need correcting? That metric to English system translation can be a bitch.
  19. What is this guy doing in a football stadium dressed like that? Not that I'm complaining, but I can't understand it.
  20. I don't look at other client profiles that often, but once it a while i look at the profile of a client who has left a review of a provider I'm interested in. It helps me better understand whether the review is relevant to my likely experience with the provider.
  21. Tried again today, and I am now seeing some spicy video content that I was never able to see before with my non-premium membership, though there are still photos and videos that I don't have access to. Not sure what's going on with rent.men, but this is a change I won't complain about.
  22. Just looked. Access to videos has not changed for me, a non-premium member. Alas.

  24. I have the same problem distinguishing between masseurs and sex workers, particularly when the masseur makes a point of emphasizing his therapeutic skills. Just recently, I booked a therapeutic massage with a provider discussed here (where it was said that extras weren't on offer) and was very surprised when he started giving me a handjob. He read my surprise as offense and asked if I didn't want one. I clarified that I'd love one but didn't expect one and didn't ask for one out of respect. That started a long convo about how some of his clients always want one, some of his clients never do, and some ask for it from time to time, and he's just decided to go with the flow. Just wait until next time when I bring up other things we might do . . .
  25. Another strategy is to put the providers you're following on your buddies list. Then, you can go to your buddies list and click on the "Buddy Activity" button. It shows changes to travel plans as well as availability and the posting of new pictures and new reviews. That way, you don't have to "lurk" on their profiles.
