Cool guy, muscular and has great conversational skills!

Just met with him in boston, looks very much like his pictures. Very friendly too. Look forward to when he comes back

He is terrific. Don’t pass up a chance

Distance matters a lot. Almost all my hiring is in the center of a big city with excellent public transportation. I don't pay for Uber, but I will pay a surcharge for an out call.
Others here put me in the "cheap" crowd. I would put these others in the "throwing money away" crowd.

Yes I would "feel" safer, but I am vaccinated myself as well.

I don’t consider paying a guy $300+ for an hour of his time as treating him like a lowlife or being cheap. And let’s be honest, there are millions of people out there working for their money, getting over rough spots, supplementing income of a lower paying job, and getting through school. None of them get paid that rate for their time, nor do they have their transportation paid for them getting to and from that second job to supplement their income.
 
Now, if you’re hiring someone who isn’t local, he should absolutely be compensated for his travel, but I’m not paying someone a higher outcall rate plus their transportation if he’s a half hour away. Last year, I hired a California provider for a weekend, bought his airline ticket, and flew him to me. I see a NY provider regularly and pay his transportation costs to me. That’s understandable and expected. My daily transportation costs for my job are on me. If I need to travel for work, I expense the travel to my employer.
 
I find it interesting that providers want clients to understand they’re running a business and want it to be treated as such, until, for some, treating it like a business isn’t advantageous to them.

That was a fantasy of mine to meet in a bathhouse (though act like we were both there looking at first before going off together, go to the steam room, dark maze, etc.) lol.
 
In Brazil (and probably the same in other places), I read someplace it's safer to go to the gay bathhouse and rent a room there for X mins for security reasons.
 

 
Sorry to hear about the blackmail experience. Glad you're back in the hobby though.

It's definitely a safety/trust issue for me. I have to feel really comfortable with an escort to host them at my own residence. I do host at my hotel when travelling. For this reason, I prefer to travel to an escort when meeting in my home town. If the escort cannot host, it would depend on how bad I wanted to see him as to whether or not I would get my own hotel room. It kind of seems a little wasteful to me to do so over a 1 hour meeting, but I have.
 
Immediately after my attempted blackmail experience (several years ago), after a long break from this hobby, I used to book a second hotel when travelling just to meet with an escort so they wouldn't know where I was really staying (yes I know, silly.. but I was scared!)

I find that traveling escorts are generally the ones who ask for an Uber. I don't pay it and break off discussions as soon as the request is made. At the same time, I have never objected to a surcharge for an out call as additional time is involved.

Stingy? Don't charge more for outcalls and I'll pay for your travel. What's the purpose of the higher outcall rate? I'm all about compensating a companion for his services, but don't treat me like an ATM.

Just like I have no desire to pay by the act as opposed to the meet, I have no willingness to discuss add-ons and fees. Set your rates (with uber transportation costs included) but don't break them down into add-on fees.. it's a turn-off. It's bad enough dealing with that shit booking hotels, rental cars, and airlines.
