After a great chat yesterday morning on RM, I arranged to meet him at 8:00 last night.
 
I live in the suburbs so it's typically a 45-minute drive into the city. Before leaving home, at 7 PM, I texted him (phone + RM) to confirm. No response. I started the drive anyway. At 7:13, I received this: "Maybe 8:30". I responded that I would stop for a cup of coffee and see him at 8:30. No response.
 
I texted at 8:27 to let him know I was in the area looking for parking. No response. Ended up seeing someone else.
 
According to his profile, next stops are Chicago and NY. Beware.

I met up with him and he's very hot but he was difficult to book and overall it was not a great experience.
He had a bunch of ridiculous requests before he'd come by and when he finally came over everything was rushed. Pics and stats are accurate and he has a nice dick, but definitely not someone I'd repeat with.

Thanks, yeah I'm not interested in onlyfans lol! Adam4Adam never works for me as well!

My very first hire was from written publications (personal ads on the back few pages etc.).  Yes times have changed.
Rentboy was probably my favorite before its demise.  There was also another one I didn't quite like as much, but it's long gone and I don't remeber the name anyways.  My current go to is rentmen.  Have used grindr, craigslist, friendboy.  I am currently trying out seeking, but I don't really look at using that site as a traditional search for an escort, more of a search for a continuing relationship.
Currently my escort hires have either originated from rentmen (after asking for info here on this forum) or the message forum (as long as I can visually see their presence on another website like rentmen or twitter.
I do not do onlyfans or the like.. just not my thing or interest.  I don't think I could ever get adam4adam to work for me lol.

Rentmen is by far my biggest generator of new clients.  The bulk of my revenue, however, comes from clients who originally found me on Rentboy, which speaks to the power of retaining your base clientele.
Revenue source 6/1/20 - 6/3/21:
  % revenue % bookings rentboy 62% 62% rentmen 19% 22% scruff 5% 2% laterslater 5% 5% porn 5% 4% escort referral 1% 2% adam4adam 1% 1% grindr 1% 1% forum  >1% 1% friendboy >1% >1%           Kevin Slater                          

There are lots of things we did or didn’t do/have 10 or 15 years ago.  Times change. 
 
@Alexphillyhas the right to do whatever he is comfortable with on his ad.  No one is arguing that.  He seems to be ok with losing potential clients over this issue.  As I said in my original comment, I’d never hire without a face pic.  Your face is part of the product you’re selling.  
Over time he’ll discover whether this works for him and adjust, if necessary.  If it isn’t, and your assumption is correct that he doesn’t want friends and family to discover this part of his life, he’ll need to decide whether to change his approach or discontinue in this business.  Regardless, I wish him success.  
 
 

100% your call. I don't know anything about you but if you are in this business for a short period just to make some money for a project, or this is just a side gig to complement your main source of income, i.e. a job where you just started and you would be negatively impacted if this activity is discovered, then you have all the rights to protect your privacy. That's why there is something called "Right to Privacy".
With that being said, you should accept that some clients will lose interest after hearing about your privacy policy. I personally don't look for Ken dolls because what I look for is even more scarce: Tops. So in most cases I will leave good looks in the background (not that I'm going to hire a monster) as long as the provider is a well-reputed hung top.
As an anecdote, some of the most reviewed providers in my city don't show face, one is one of my regulars. I suppose it comes down to how you market yourself and the service you provide. If you make clients happy rest assured that they will leave good reviews and give you a good reputation. If you are getting the amount of business you want and you are happy with it, don't let anyone tell you how to conduct your own business.

I get not putting your face on your ads, I don't either, it is reasonable for a client to be unwilling to hire you if you won't send them one.  I've been escorting for two decades and sending out face photos to potential clients has yet to bite me in the ass.  That doesn't mean it can't or won't.  If you're uncomfortable doing that expect resistance from your potential clients, that's all.  

Is the current 33% off membership deal (that is almost over) one of their better offers?

In my very early days of hiring I used to be willing to hire without seeing a face pic.  Unfortunately, I had to stop doing this because it always ended in disappointment for me.  I think this was mostly because I couldn't prevent myself from projecting via fantasy of what the faceless provider looked like and the cold reality when actually seeing the escort of how off I really was to the real thing.  The funny thing about it is I likely would have been ok in many of the cases if I was able to see the real thing before having to use my imagination.
Put me in the category of someone who will not hire without seeing your face.
I definitely appreciate those providers saving us both time and problems by being upfront about refusing to provide a face pic- instead of providing a fake one!

Its the shortcut you use when pronouncing a word rather than saying the individual initial.   A better example would be 4play where you pronounce the 4 as four+play , 2go for to+go, L8r for later or Bhive for bee+hive.  In this case, you are simply pronouncing the S as it's sound "ess"  hence ess+cort. 
 
I fully accept it doesn't save much at all...  but some people shorten/abbreviate etc. everything they possibly can.

While I wouldn't personally go the apologizing route (I just don't see a positive outcome there at all) and I would just move on, I think you should do whatever you will find easiest to live with.  If you are going to drive yourself nuts over the wondering and won't be able to just let it go, then by all means spend a little more effort pursuing the answer you need.
Whatever you choose to do, do not under any circumstances cross the line to stalkerville and definitely prepare yourself for the real possibility that you may never get the answers you seek.  If closure is something that you absolutely can't live without and you aren't able to get a response... may I suggest you write a letter to the escort... putting everything you emotionally need to in that letter, seal it, and then burn that letter and move on.

Name change.  Some of those pictures belonged to an ad from Dallas, Texas... HoganXX.  @DallasClient might be able to verify this as he posted that he used to see him.  Of course, as Hogan, he charged a lot less!
 
Doh!  Just saw @azdr0710beat me to the punch.

So...  You'll have sex with a perfect stranger, but a face pic is too personal?
Quite literally, you are selling yourself as the product.  Your face is a huge contingent of that sale.  While I understand not putting your face pic in your general listing, it's definitely unique to say you 'never' send a face pic before meeting a client.
My view is that you will not have as well-rounded a business as you might have without that face pic.  If you're willing to give up a decent chunk of what could be incredibly profitable repeat clients, then so be it.  That is your call.
In your initial post, you say it's very personal to give someone a face pic.  This is a personal business.  Get comfortable.
