Which is why I ALSO don't engage with anyone trying to use a burner number to make an appt.
 
 

Client just brought him into my place.  I wouldn't call it an abundance of personality.

So one of the things that turns my crank is a total bro. Like 20-35, clean cut, gym shorts, sleeveless muscle tank shirt, backwards hat, etc... all of that.  Yes, I know that describes a lot of guys on RM.  But wanted to ask here if anyone has recommendations or links for someone who is literally the definition of a 'total bro' ?? Location doesn't really matter as I get around a lot and top or bottom is all negotiable. 

Let's not confuse being a tiny bit late (say 15 minutes) with a last-minute cancellation.  I'm guessing most people won't get too irritated with someone running a little late, with the exception of people who do have appointments scheduled back-to-back like physicians.  I think most escorts don't have clients scheduled back-to-back, though I do know that some poor providers do so.  But in the case of the OP, he wasn't trying to simply move the start time back a little.  He was outright canceling with little notice.  Doing that repeatedly indicates he doesn't respect other people's time.  Hopefully he offers to send payment to the people he's canceling appointments with at minimal notice.

Blacklists still exist with a lot of pertinent info out there on those who are serial cancelers, bullshitters, etc.
Mr Number seems to be the new, faster way to report.
To me, private blacklists are still the clearinghouse, as they usually have personal info about the client that make it more difficult for them to just switch to another burner number and continue the behavior.

I read it as all the people you’re jerking around have left you bad reviews on the telephone number you use to waste their time. 

It's hard to parse what your post is trying to say, but it sounds like you have multiple instances of cancelling with short notice.  So why even book in advance, rather than waiting til you know you're actually free?  If you want to reply "because my time is limited and I want to be sure that he'll be available when I might be" I'd ask why the provider isn't afforded the same consideration.

I have a very dissenting view on this.
For $200 in SF, what were you expecting?  A suite at the Four Seasons?
Some of the hottest sex I ever had was with sculpted guys in 'Bohemian' apartments in NYC.  Are you there to fuck, or to have a critical review of the wallpaper?
I think you missed an amazing opportunity.

One of my pet peeves with clients is the assumption that if I'm running late it's due to another appt "running late". 
👎🏻
This is never the reason I'm running late as I rarely ever decide to have more then one appt a day.   
 
 
 

Fantasyland.

Yes, it is becoming extraordinarily common. 
On a recent trip, 3 different provides had confirmed more than 24 hours in advance. Each waited until 5 minutes before the appointment to tell me that they were "running a little late" and would be over an hour late.
All three got axed immediately and lost out on meeting a great client. 
Unfortunate, but so be it.

as of April 2021,  NYC no longer considers Sex work / Prostitution illegal.   Shortly thereafter, other cities such as Baltimore, Chicago, Boston etc made similar announcements. 

Years ago when I first met https://rentmen.eu/XxxJasonCrew
(we were both hired for a weekend long appt in Palm Springs), Barrett was his roommate.   Jason said something along the lines of Barrett was "a dangerous psychopath lunatic" and he felt uncomfortable living with the guy and was fixin to move out.

I've posted this before:
Buy a sling.  Not every client has to use it, but some will love it, and book you because of it. Rubber sheets are a provider's friend. Install a shower douche.  Again, some clients will book you simply because you provide that. Learn at least a few basic massage techniques. You can save a ton of money by buying the gallon jug o' lube and decanting into smaller bottles. Offer them a damn shower afterwards.  Duh. Don't bother with blocked phone calls. Seriously. He's a time waster. Same for texts that come through from an email address.
  Hear a voice on the phone before heading over or giving your address. Subsequent booking can be made via text.
  It's not a bad idea to call the hotel and get patched through to the room before heading over, especially if something strikes you as 'off'. The likelihood of a future booking actually happening is inversely proportional to the number of texts, calls and emails beforehand.
  Keep note of the numbers that flake on you, for they'll do it again in six months. And that same guy has done it to me, and every other escort. Be leery of drunk. They often pass out before you get there, or after.
  He may be having a great time and want to extend the session. Mazel tov. But he may be thinking with his little head and not have the funds. Settle up occasionally.
  Every client starts as a first timer. But first timers also often lose their nerve, and you lose your time and effort. Don't front the money for a first time session (hotel, travel, etc.) and rarely for repeat sessions.
  Don't drive two hours without a deposit (e.g. Venmo or Amazon e-gift card). Key words that indicate this is going nowhere: Engineer, Nigeria, "your city".
  Don't discount your first session because he's going to see you weekly. Future sessions may be negotiable, initial bookings are always full fare. Make some friends in the biz. They've seen it all before and can offer guidance.
  Trust your gut. A few bucks isn't worth your health, safety, or freedom. Most guys you'll meet will be wonderful and pleasant. Some will be odd ducks, and even that can be fun or at least entertaining. A few are bad eggs, but those guys are extremely prolific in wasting your time.

This +1, it’s his biz model. Posters criticizing  him here probably wont change that.

Oh, I would see him for free, but I'm reasonably confident that he would not see me for free.

In my experience there are very few actual professional escorts, period, in that age range. And the rare occasion there is a "barely legal boy" of 18 or so advertising, often it won't be for long.   Once they dip their toe into the scene, experience the gritty / non glamorous side; time wasters - clients that steal money / valuables from your home, fraudsters pretending to be broke all of a sudden etc. 
 
Now, with the advent of OnlyFans, and that generation segment being the most likely to go that route, utilizing RM almost solely for advertising purposes = good luck on your hunt to find the elusive "🦄 Unicorn Hung" baby twink ("who also loves to 💋 kiss").

I like the military "bro" aesthetic.
I'm a big fan of the "str8" boy fantasy.
The slightest whiff of femininity is a turn off for me. ( Sorry guys )
Pity he's pulled his profile

But that also begs the question….
If you weren’t interested in hooking up with him,
then why did you need to clarify if he’s a sex worker or not?
I’m having a hard time creating a scenario where you don’t
come off looking like a tool. 

No offense, but I cannot imagine any context where the question "I had the impression that you are a sex worker" would be well-received.

The truth is that they do it because they don’t respect you, your time, or what you do, and they get off on interacting with you.  They take advantage of any time and attention you’ll give away to them because they  have no intention of booking  you, and they will not be able to interact with you outside of any time and attention you’ll give to them for free. It’s  the reality and one of the worst, if not the worst parts of this business. What you’ll learn though is that there are patterns, and it is pretty easy to identify  people who are serious about booking and people who are not serious. Learn how to Identify those people who are clearly going to try and waste your time, and stop engaging with them.  They can only waste a lot of your time if you let them.
