To me, that’s a clear indicator it’s time to move on. When someone starts asking for tips outright, it suggests a lack of professionalism and respect for the client experience. Tips are meant to be a gesture of appreciation for exceptional service, not something to be expected or requested. A truly great provider earns them through effort, attitude, and quality, not by making clients feel obligated.

In my experience, cash is definitely king in Europe. While each country tends to have its own local payment apps, those usually aren’t accessible to short-term visitors. The only app I’ve successfully used across multiple countries is PayPal. There’s no need to carry large amounts of cash, just withdraw what you need from an ATM as you go. Also, be sure to follow the tips mentioned above by @Vegas_Millennial, they’re spot on.

Gotta love how his very first review on RMass popped up the same day his profile went live and it even uses almost the same name.

You can also try using Yandex, the Russian search engine. In my experience, it’s better than Google for reverse image searches, mainly because it isn’t as restricted by privacy limitations.

On the other hand, I have seen two local providers actually raising their rates.

As far as I know, that’s not how the system works. First off, RMass and RMen have different procedures. RMass will accept a review if the client either had IM communication with the provider OR at least clicked the “Call” link. Once the review is published, the provider can contest it, and in most cases, RMass will remove it. RMen, on the other hand, requires the client to be a Premium member and to have communicated with the provider through the site. If both conditions are met and the review goes live, the provider can still contest it, and RMen will almost certainly take it down

In my experience, when a provider asks to reschedule, it usually means they’re trying to accommodate another booking. Since my schedule isn’t very flexible, I typically respond with something like: I’m sorry, but the new time doesn’t work for me. I understand things come up, and if it’s not possible to keep our original time, we can just try again sometime in the future.

The number of active members here is pretty small compared to the overall pool of people hiring, so it's unlikely that this site alone can make or break a provider. You’d be surprised how many clients hire purely based on an ad, without doing any research. Granted, those tend to be the ones who only hire once or twice a year. Are those the clients providers are aiming for? Probably not. Most serious providers are likely looking for regulars, not just one-time hires. That said, I’ll admit I’ve both hired and passed on providers based on what I’ve read here. As part of my vetting process, I also reach out to reviewers on RMass and RMen, and I always mention COM to them. Whether any of them end up joining or even visiting the site, I honestly have no idea.

This new profile just popped up in Orlando. I did an image and phone search but got no results. I know I’ve seen these pictures before. Anyone have any info on him?. https://rent.men/Andresdommm

There are several reasons this can happen. Sometimes, providers simply burn out, bad experiences with clients can take a real emotional toll. A shift in personal or professional goals can also lead them to change how they interact with clients. And for some, the impact of PNP hits hard, influencing their behavior significantly.

The photos come back as a trainer from Brazil who was in France four days ago

He now has a brand new profile, just a couple of days old and already has a review. https://www.masseurfinder.com/massage-therapists/50887/

The second pic is probably the most recent and yes he is hot as hell.

That will only work if, and only if, the provider doesn’t block you immediately after, or even during the session. Don’t ask me how I know.

I still remember the "generic" or "no-name" brand trend from the 1980s. Supermarkets and stores offered unbranded, budget-friendly items that came in plain, minimalist packaging, usually just white labels with black text naming the product, like "Beer," "Corn," or "Soap." Surprisingly, some of those products were actually pretty good.

FYI: He is back in town.

For me, it depends on where I am and how long I’ll be in the sun. Most of the time, I don’t wear a top, but if I’m in the Caribbean and planning to spend most of the day outside, then yes, I’ll wear a long-sleeve UV swim shirt for extra protection.

According to his RMass profile, he’s listed as being in Atlanta. https://rentmasseur.com/FabianV

As others have mentioned, it’s not common, but it does happen. I’ve been asked a couple of times myself. Providers have every right to set whatever conditions they feel are necessary for their work, just as I, as a client, have the choice to comply or take my business elsewhere. Similar to deposits, my answer to a picture request is always no.
