Decatur Guy

I’m like you in that I mostly follow tops but occasionally I like a top who enjoys bottoming like Derek Kage or Arion.

Red flags:

Profiles with just a few pictures and just a few words in the descriptions.
Providers asking for a deposit upfront.
Profiles with pictures that I recognize from five or 10 years ago.
Pro-active complaints about clients.
Super vague descriptions.
Name changers (I don't mind one name change, but when it becomes a habit). 
 

I'm a bottom who mostly follows tops in porn. Once in awhile, I'll take a liking to a bottom.

It's never too late to drop me a review on RentMen!!! I'd truly appreciate it. And will definitely hit you up next time I'm in Atlanta!

Hi Axiom, as I'm naive as can be about drug things, is Lemonade referring to a THC preparation or something else? I have found that an edible is my friend before an encounter. The Cialis works so much better with it. (Obviously, brain stuff going on there.) But the term Lemonade is new to me.

It's new to me as well.  I looked up "lemonade drug reference" and am still confused because it seems like it could refer to more than one thing, but I guess the most common meaning is a mixture of lemonade powder and dextromethorphan (DXM).  If that's what Axiom was referring to, that sure sounds like PNP to me.

Unfortunately is another service some offer because they're into it or they think they can get more clients hooked.
Some "pill pushing" might be involved...
To me is a huge red flag, sooner or later the dick doesn't work and they can't even show up to an appointment because they are high....

I've definitely noticed it a lot on RM profiles. And even Grindr/Sniffies profile. PNP is definitely on the rise. I've also noticed a lot of providers are also "plugs"/selling various things. More providers list it because more and more people are asking it of them i would assume, and it lets them subtly advertise their other menu so to speak.

I know that PNP has always been a part of this scene. (Not a part I like, BTW). Is it just me, or has it become a bigger part in the past few years? I can't count the number of profiles I've clicked past on RM recently because not only is PNP listed, but because it's emphasized. I don't remember seeing it as much back when I first started hiring.

Am I being more sensitive/aware, or have any of you noticed what seems to be more providers playing PNP up - not just clicking on it as an "Into" but actually taking the time to mention it again in their write-ups? In my case, it's costing them a potential client. 

I did an archive search. This is what I wrote at the time:
 

I hired Luke and what I assume what his boyfriend/traveling companion at the time. It was one of my first hires and definitely my first double-hire/threeway-for-pay.
 
I had a great experience, including bending over for Mr. Marcum on a high-rise hotel balcony on a warm Atlanta night. 
 
The only reason I didn't write a good review of him was because I wasn't aware of this site yet.

Saw him years ago and had a wonderful time. He is indeed aging very nicely. 

I meet him recently. Class act and lots of fun.

I'm nearing the end of my third visit with "Stranger in a Strange Land."

I met him a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the encounter. He's a little on the quiet side but fun once you get going. 

Good to know. 

and has great reviews! 

He's handsome, friendly and communicates well. He's also PUNCTUAL!

I'm nearing the end of my third visit with "Stranger in a Strange Land."

Met Devin in Detroit.  Nice guy, easy to schedule, delivered on everything discussed and even let the session run 20 mins longer with no extra charge.  I did tip him.  He looks much better than his pics.  Not sure how that happens except most of his pics are old.  Hes thinned down some.  This isnt his career so gaps in reviews are probably due to his commitment to his career first and not always escorting.  I would repeat. 

Finished up the meet-up. Classic Colt gets a glowing review from me. Handsome. Intuitive. Friendly. Knows how to use a tool. I'd meet up again.

The meeting was held. And I was impressed. Definitely put me in the "do see him" column. He's friendly, sexy and even better looking than his pictures. Gorgeous eyes. 

I agree with Decatur Guy about enthusiasm and would add imagination and innovation as other qualities that help soften the looks dichotomy.  I have had a surprisingly large number of escorts tell me that "I never had that done before."  Now that might sound like a line.  Perhaps it is, but they mention very specific things that I am surprised that they find interesting or new.  So, keep your techniques fresh.  If you are a lay back and fuck me man or a "tell the escort to bend over and take it: kind of guy, think about freshening up the act.  They will have more fun, you will too and they will be happy to see you not only for the bucks but also for the fucks.  

I understand that feeling. Especially when I first started hiring. I felt like, "I'm so ugly it's come to this." I still get that way at times, but mostly I like the convenience. And what I lack in looks, I make up for in respect, likability, enthusiasm and reliability. I have a couple of guys who have quit advertising but still see me. And I know I get lower than the going rate.
