former lurker

Sounds like there may be someone who helps the BA boys with their ads when they travel to the States. If so, it's a bit unfair to tag Zac DeHaan with deceit. If he's too pricey for your tastes, that's another matter.

Or he could be the guy given the key and then the OP broke up with him; or the "friend" who "loaned" the place to Ranier didn't tell him the OP didn't want his placed used; or it's entirely made up; or . . . It all rings of either outright fabrication or sour grapes. In either case, I don't understand why it constitutes a review, but then again it's not up to me.

It's great to hear that he's sober and doing well mentally/emotionally. He is a hottie, so I'm sure he will attract a lot of people. But his well being is more important than everything else.

If it bothers you enough, block him. On the plus side, you got and have shared some insight into how escorts must feel about all of the lookers who visit their profiles but never contact them. They've got to be wondering what's up with that, or speculating that some of the visitors are there to get off to their pics.

She's not my cup of tea, either, but she has some pipes to be sure. If you're friendly with a French Canadian, take him/her to a Celine concert. She's epic in that community. For me, I'd love to attend any concert with the gent who started this thread. I suspect his enthusiasm would be infectious. Plus, he's hot.

Thoughtful as always. To your question, I think there are a number of factors that have caused the shifts you described. Before speaking about them, let me clarify something. A lot of the posts in this thread focus on the physical type and whether/why client's "type" of guys are less prevalent in a teeming market of providers. Your focus is more about character and approach. So that's where I'll focus, too. I think the growing facility with online resources has "democratized" the market, by which I mean the entry barriers are lower for both providers and clients. There is less of a filter. Also, I think there's less of a stigma which usually would be a good thing, but can have its negative effects too. Years ago, people hired in an environment when doing so was a sort of dirty little secret. The need for discretion, although always important, was even more front-of-mind. Finding reputable, trustworthy escorts was of prime importance. Those who established themselves as not only physically alluring, good at the physical part, etc., were of interest, but even more so those who presented as safe -- and I mean safe to include offering understanding that clients can be vulnerable, especially with new hires. Acceptance, caring, connecting, and being dependable all Peter, you're pointing to a much more significant change than some others have described. Your not focused primarily on appearance or "type", but on character and professional approach. That's the sort of thing that sets you and others with similar values apart from the bulk of providers who are more purely transaction-focused in approach. There are some guys who are thoroughly professional, committed to maintaining their bodies and their performance, but are all about time-management, especially if they travel frequently. That might fit the bill for many clients, but guys like you who listen, intuit, pamper, and adapt to your clients emotional and psychological needs as much as their physical needs, well you are a much rarer breed.

There is always a lag, and especially when several holidays intervene as they did here. Also, Daddy posted about hiatuses occurring due to computer transitions and related work. Thus, your only "evidence" is really what you say in the last sentence of your last post: you "are inclined to believe" that the checks and balances in place provide "ample" time to respond. That is fair, but surmise nontheless. Truth is, none of us knows when a review is submitted (we know when the get together occurred), when it's vetted, when an escort is contacted for response, how much time elapses until the escort either responds or runs out of time (if there's a set time) to respond, etc. But, as I said in another post, there's little point to questioning why Daddy chose to publish a "review" or what process he followed. It's his site, he decides. I'm just not sure there's sufficient basis to draw the inference that you drew.

I agree, at least with your last sentence. It's Daddy's site, he decides. Of course we all all free to reach our own conclusions, but it's pointless to criticize Daddy. This isn't a courtroom where you can move to have the judge recuse himself. He's the final word.

I don't think we have any evidence one way or the other about how "ample" an opportunity Rainer was given to respond. After all, days before the "review" was posted, Daddy wrote that the holidays led to a lag in review submissions.

What you said. Some people seem to think "muscular" applies on to bodybuilders and fitness models.

I don't send pics either, for the same reason that I don't do social media. Once you place your image in the hands of others you can't control how it is used.

It seems from your posts that you've contacted quite a few notable purveyors. LOL. I hope I was clear in saying that Brent did know his fake ids were fake. That was a point I was trying to emphasize.

That's when it's good to get the locks changed! Back to the review/story: It strikes me as the sort of thing you'd hear from someone who either has broken up with the guy or is jealous of the relationship that the "friend" may be having with the guy reviewed. No direct evidence, of course, but it brings to mind the sort of stuff that the former escort/boybander with multiple names (Drako was one) said about another escort (Mike Grey) form whom he broke up. Drako later admitted he posted false stuff about Mike because he was hurt by the break-up.

I've always suspected that Brent was at least aware of the planned murder in advance, if not criminally complicit. The authorities must have had something on him to get him to wear a wire. And it's not even a question about the underage stuff. He falsified id's to do porn underage. Cocis probably knew the ids were fake, but so did Brent. He's always struck me as one not to be trusted, but maybe he wasn't a sociopath but merely too young to have formed a robust sense of right and wrong.

I'm enjoying your posts stud. Nice to see the personality that goes along with the good looks. Although not the first concert I attended, I'll never forget seeing Madonna at Madison Square Garden in New York. She put on a hell of a show. I've seen a lot of other concerts where the music was the gist of the show. With Madonna it's the dancing, the dancers, the costume changes, and the sheer spectacle. I went to the concert with a friend from out of town. After, we went to a coffee shop in Chelsea, the heart of gay Manhattan, and were surrounded by guys who had been at the show gushing about it.

You can make shit up, and people often do, especially if they have a personal axe to grind. As for the "response" process, it was and is the policy of the site to contact the reviewed person. In the old days, under HooBoy, I don't recall an instance in which a review was posted and a response was posted subsequently. I may be remembering incorrectly, but I seem to recall a few times when, under Daddy, responses were posted after the review was posted. So while the policy remains the same, the practice may be a little different.

This raises and interesting point in my mind. Younger (18-mid 20s) guys generally aren't as developed physically as are guys in their late 20s and further on. Those of use who are into muscular guys tend to go for guys in their late 20s or older, and those guys get to be 40 sooner than the teen/early 20s guys. Many of those guys are further along in other life/career/education plans and are ready to move on. There are exceptions, of course. There are some guys who are so good across the board (physically, mentally, personality, making connections, etc.) that they become a sort of gold standard. Think of Benjamin Nicholas, Tristan Baldwin, Kristian Elix, Peter Hung, etc. These guys are total packages.

This "review" made me nostalgic for the days when you could click on the reviewer's name and see past reviews. I guess there's some way to search for a reviewer's reviews using google and search terms (I think that was posted in one of the forums a few years back). But it was easier before.

It doesn't seem at all odd to me. Some are looking to spend multiple hours with more than just play time. For those people, an expressed interest in longer sessions by the provider may be appealing by suggesting their interested in the same sort of an evening.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kristian Elix. I've never had the pleasure, but if I were visiting LA for a night of a few, he'd be one who I'd try my best to spend some extended time with him.

Trends change, people age and move on. And we also change. Some of us become more rigid and persnickety and render harsher judgements as we age. Some are less driven for the active parts of the activity and thus less interested in the activity in general. I'd be hard pressed to say whether it's the "market" that has changed so dramatically or the buyers. It's probably some of each.

I'm not sure whether he has a twitter feed, or whether it's under the name Spencer Fox or the one he used in his subsequent straight porn. I've searched and found links to posts that describe his multiple meltdowns, but the examples of the meltdowns posted about all seem to be gone (this all happened about 10 years ago). From what I recall, he trashed Next Door Studios when they didn't make him an exclusive (claiming he was gay and the studio favored straight guys), he spread HIV rumors about other performers and then deleted his tweets because he was relaying gossip and had no knowledge from a reliable source; he later bashed gay people and insisted he was straight. All of this left me with the impression that he isn't particularly bright and that he's a bit cray cray. But the cray cray part could have been a sign of instability that required treatment (therapy and/or medication) and he may have gotten past all of it.

I'm surprised no one's commented on his famous twitter meltdowns. He came across as unstable, perhaps clinically. That was a while ago, so perhaps he's gotten healthier mentally or just plain grew up.

The OP didn't indicate that he requested "physical" intimacy. He said "intimacy". Also, there's a wide range that falls within physical intimacy (holding hands, hugs, lying around in each others' arms, etc. And who knows why one person hires another. Some hire to have someone to talk with about things they don't feel comfortable discussing with others. The OP does have a track record on the forum of reporting on disappointing experiences without identifying the escort. It may be his way of minimizing damage to the escort's reputation because he realizes, at some level, that a lot of his disappointment isn't the fault of the escort but of his own making. Or perhaps he's using the forum to sort through his own thoughts and approaches. Of he's stirring the pot. There's really not a lot to go on in his posts.

I'll admit upfront that my reading of the "review" is shallow and tainted by how poorly it is written. It also strikes me as odd that the reviewer would have a diamond ring lying around when meeting an escort he doesn't know for the first time. Who knows where the truth lies. This is all anonymous assertion. If you're risk averse, steer clear. If you want to take a chance, set things up in a way to limit your exposure.
