I don't believe I’m being paranoid. It's important to acknowledge that relying solely on RM reviews isn't advisable. Beyond the example I mentioned earlier, there are other factors at play that can impact reviews. Personally, I tend to refrain from leaving negative reviews unless there's a significant issue, like a scam or something that went really wrong. I'm certain I'm not alone in this approach. So, the absence of negative reviews for a provider doesn't necessarily indicate their quality, does it? I do read reviews and reach out to reviewers directly. I'm wary when I see multiple reviews from the same person for a single provider; it raises a red flag for me. As far as I know hiring is entirely voluntary, so I don’t see why anyone would need an excuse not to hire. I hired regularly myself, perhaps even more than I should, but that's a discussion for another thread. I still recall the days of hiring from newspaper ads, without any photos or reviews. However, that doesn't mean I now advocate solely relying on ad content for hiring decisions.

I’m not familiar with the Surface Pro but you may want to check in settings that “Dark Mode” or “Dark Theme” is not selected.

Please, please tell me someone here has met this handsome man. https://rentmasseur.com/Thaibodyworks

I'm certain he's not the only one. This particular instance, which I have firsthand knowledge of, clearly demonstrates why those RM reviews can’t be trusted.

I don’t know about providers reviewing each other but I do know one provider from Rmass that offers 50% off your next massage in exchange for a 5 star review.

What about using a YubiKey? It works across different platforms.

There's absolutely no chance he's 33.

Thanks for the info. I texted him and he seemed nice. I will keep him on my “must try” list.

I'm sorry to hear that your experiences haven't been positive. It's essential to choose providers carefully. Start by searching this site for recommendations on specific individuals. Then, ask questions and clearly communicate your preferences to the provider. If you're not completely satisfied with their responses, don't hesitate to move on to someone else. If you're unsure, feel free to ask here, where you'll find plenty of experienced individuals ready to offer guidance.

I do love this simple rule.

I do find myself attracted to Latin (and Asian) men, though I've come to realize they vary greatly. While there are some Venezuelan men who are undeniably attractive, my personal experiences with them haven't been the most positive. Conversely, I've found that men from Colombia and Brazil tend to provide better experiences, in my opinion.

24 hours is the maximum amount of time I’m willing to wait for a response before I move on.

In my overall experience, this hasn't been the case. Typically, I tend to ask multiple questions in a single message. If I receive one word responses or answers to only one question, I generally interpret it as disinterest and proceed to the next provider.

Link fixed.

I've just realized why his profile didn't seem typical for a newcomer: it's a direct copy from: https://rentmasseur.com/DavisTopBrazil

Has anyone met JohnFitness? Is he a newcomer or simply a fresh identity? His profile doesn't appear to be written by a novice, and within less than three months, he's already has seven five-star reviews. https://rentmasseur.com/JohnFitness

I’m sorry this happened to you. Let this serve as a reminder to do our homework before hiring and meeting a stranger.

He probably blocked you.

Sorry this happened to you but most of us have been there. You did the right thing. Some providers are just unprofessional. Please consider sharing a link to his profile or doing a review on RM.

I finally got around to meet Edwaard. I’m sorry to report that it was not a good experience. I can not recommend him.

Recently I had a massage with a provider that I had hired a couple of times before. He did not let me know that there was someone else home. During the massage I could hear someone talking on the phone which of course was not great for the mood. At the end of the session on the way to the bathroom, I came face to face with his roommate/husband/partner/boyfriend. I think he was completely wrong not to give me a heads up about the situation and of course I will not be hiring him again.

Why is this wasting their time? He is just asking for the rates. When I visit a new city and I plan to hire, I will ask rates and location of all the providers I’m interested in. You can’t go one by one since some take a long time to answer and some don’t even do that. It is just one text requesting basic information.

https://rentmasseur.com/LeeTao This profile seems too elaborate for a new guy. It has one review from an account that has only reviewed once and was created 2 days after.

The majority of my hiring takes place in Florida, where I have become accustomed to encountering a significant proportion of Latin providers. Nevertheless, over the past few years, there has been a noticeable rise in the number of individuals from Venezuela. This surge can be readily attributed to the adverse economic and political conditions prevailing in Venezuela, coupled with the lenient migration policies currently in effect.

For me providers that cut you short are an automatic no repeat. A deal was made for services and time in exchange for payment. I do understand that it is difficult for a provider to determine how long it will take for a client to release, however the session does not have to end right after the ending has been achieved.
