Now in Edison. Still nobody?

I guess this forum can be a double-edged sword. There isn't exactly a place where providers can get together and vent, and compare notes, free from clients. Same for clients. No matter your line of work, if you post something about the hardships of your job and complain about something your clients do, someplace your clients can see it, it obviously won't go over well with some of them. This is doubly true when you are charging an hourly rate similar to or higher than an attorney. Stack onto that the fact that many of the clientelle are on fixed or retirement income, and it becomes contentious. Maybe we need an area for providers to complain about cheap clients, time wasters, expensive travel, and expensive hotels, and another area for clients to complain about overpriced providers, scammers, and providers not being as advertised...and never the twain shall meet.

I wonder if this is because of fear of being secretly recorded?

https://rent.men/vshungfun This guy's been around a few years but no mentions here. Any experiences? My work travel ended, so I'm going to have to find someone local.

https://rent.men/TrophyyBoyy Anyone visit this boyy (sic) of late? A closed thread seemed to focus on his age, so several years later that shouldn't be an issue. 😉

Just FYI, quoted $400 for an hour in Orlando now, and does not host. Polite and responsive, but neither of those restrictions work for me

I'd caution a provider not to do this as well. What's to prevent someone from paying with a gift card and then canceling it somehow or reporting it stolen? Once used, the police can track it to you, and then you have to explain how you got it, etc.

Anyone had the pleasure? https://rent.men/Tempered_twunk

It's not the reputable providers having our address we're worried about. 😉

I'd have to say my best experience was ZayneBright out of St. Louis. https://rent.men/zaynebright He was a last minute hire as my expected escort quit the business. He's a porn actor, which I didn't know at the time (but since checked out some of his stuff). But he was sweet, down to earth, and we had a nice, relaxing night. No ego, eager to please. Fortunately I'm not close to St. Louis or I could be broke.

Let's not fool ourselves. A Masseur who advertises at rates double a standard massage, has nude or almost nude photos, lists his sexual preference, and often his HIV status is not simply a masseur. So why choose a masseur? Because you want some semblance of massage before you get to the sensual stuff. Sure, maybe you just want a massage with some good glute work, but I think that's pretty rare, and you wouldn't need to pay double a standard massage rate for that. I get a monthly massage at Hand and Stone for $80. That's not what should be offered for 200 from a guy whose ad shows him flexing in underwear.

Ridiculous to assume that anyone should pull over or interrupt a session. I've said that I book in advance and give a day to respond. That's more than fair. And that you get dozens of messages shouldn't be the client's problem.

If expecting a professional to respond to a question posed in the forum in which they advertised makes me high maintenance, then its a badge I can wear proudly. There are very few providers I want to see, and if this is part of my screening method to find those that are professional and don't expect the customer to jump through hoops, so be it. And I've already said that those two word queries don't deserve a response and that those clients who try and get off on communication with providers are scum, so just because I hit a nerve doesn't mean. I'm always pro-client. It just means that there is truth in something I said and that bothers you.

No experience, but he's right in my backyard, figuratively, so I'm intrigued.

Yes, but I do enjoy the company of men. Sorry, I missed the requirement that bisexuals weren't allowed. I'd better cancel my subscription. It's not like I'm suggesting women, or posting sexy photos of females. Someone just made the erroneous comment that nobody here would be interested in a masseuse, and I was pointing out he was wrong. I don't think that's a violation of this site.

Lol. God, I hope this is parody.

Because, I post on this board, and would be just as happy if a massuse started giving extras as if a masseur did.

I appreciate a provider not wanting their face out there, for several reasons. That said, I ask for it before getting involved, because I don't want to waste either of our times. If they don't want to post it on their ad or send it quickly, it would be a red flag, but it is their fault, not yours, if the picture sent is not your cup of tea and you opt-out. You are the paying customer. If what they're selling turns out to not be something you want to buy, so be it. That they didn't show you what they were offering earlier, oh, well.

That would be a bet you'd lose.

While I don't think the posts you copied deserve a response, I think you sound jaded. If someone asks you a specific question in RM, they have a reasonable expectation that you will read it and respond appropriately. You seem to think l should have to pay for the privilege of booking an appointment with you. That might have something to do with why you aren't getting bookings. You don't need to "keep track of a third party messenger app" because you can set RM to email you when you get a message. It would be nice if they would text you instead, but checking your email periodically is not too much to ask for a business. Before I pay any sort of provider, whether it be an accountant, a lawyer, or an electrician, it seems normal that we would have a discussion about if they handle the kind of service I need. If I called the number on the ad, and rather than answer the phone or ask me to leave a number, they sent me to yet another website or asked me to call another number, I would move on to the next provider. I would think it was unprofessional or a scam.

Crazy talk. A hurricane going through an area once every 5 years or so is no reason to avoid a state. Do you not fly because a plane crashed? Drive, because there are accidents?! Sorry, but that's just silly. I've been down here over 30 years, and it's way overblown.

I guess there is a shortage of good clients AND serious providers. Sounds like we're both frustrated with the state of things. If you are in business and have an ad out there, a prompt reply, even if declining is the bare minimum you can do. On your second complaint I will say this: I never ask for private pics. (And it pisses me off on providers' behalf that people collect these or jerk off to your text conversations) And the only pic ever I ask for is a face if one hasn't been provided. But I state what and when I'm looking for in my first message and ask that the provider look at my profile to see if they think we are a good fit. If I get an autoresponse asking me to do other things, I generally move on and give them a chance to respond personally. I'm fine moving to offline correspondence after a few messages, but I'm not jumping through hoops to contact someone when I've already done so through the platform they are advertising on.

Denver to Fort Walton FL. I realized I wasn't cut out for one hour sessions so wanted a couple of days together. After he missed two appointments with less-than-good excuses, I wasn't even expecting him to show, but he did, even though his flight plans changed at the last minute, he got there and said he wasn't going to do that to me again. It was a great couple of days. Worth waiting for.

I think it would have to be awkward. Do all your mutual acquaintances know you're both attracted to men? Do they know one of you hires sex workers? Do they know onenof you IS a swx worker? Do you want your provider to know where you live? Yes, it may be a turn-on to be with someone you didn't know was available to you, but I would find it more stressful than erotic, especially after the fact. Easy pass.

I think having it on a website makes it less personal, so less likely to offend. I think part of the problem with raising prices for a regular is two-fold. First, a regular is often someone you give a discount to, not jack up the price for. Second, the illusion that this is something your provider is also enjoying is blown. Sure, you are paying, but you want to be in the mindset that even though you are paying, the provider is into it. Very tough to maintain that illusion when he tells you that in order to continue being intimate with you, you'll need to start paying more. Tough not to take that personally. For massage, it might be ok, but for other intimacy, I think I might be inclined to move on to another provider.
