Too bad you’ve had no luck with DolphB. I saw him several times in the past and had a great time (especially if you’re into big muscle butts). Looks like he left the biz in November, and like you, he hasn’t returned my texts. 

Thank you!  I am actually in central Jersey by the beach. The infamous Jersey shore, lol.

Welcome, @njdude4muscle!
Two questions for you:
what part of NJ are you in? Are you closer to NYC? Or Philly? (The mention of DolphBB makes me think you're closer to Philly, but I don't want to assume.) have you conferred with @alexslaveboy? He's familiar with the muscled gents in (or passing through) the greater Jersey area...

The NYSE just experienced the best May on record dating back to 1990, and the quickest return to normal after a correction since 1998.  In 1998, the worry then was that the Internet was going to disrupt everything, and we had the dot.com bust in March 2000.  Today, there is a similar sentiment with AI going to disrupt everything.
U.S. stocks are still flat for the year, having underperformed international stocks.  I always keep 1/3 of my stocks in foreign companies, so I'm up for year.  Everything looks expensive if trying to time the exact moment to buy.  For those trying to time the market, think about 1998 in hindsight and diversify.
 

Stock Market Outlook: Bull Market May Not Be Finished
WWW.MORGANSTANLEY.COM The bull market in U.S. stocks may have further to go, with the rise in bearish sentiment pointing to... Key takeaway for investors right now:
The bull market probably isn’t finished, and the S&P 500 may yet end the year with single-digit gains.
Hints of investor euphoria that began to appear have been washed out of the market, creating the possibility that the bull run for stocks may stretch out longer
When stocks fall 15%, as they did in early April, it can be a good time for investors to increase their commitment to equities. The S&P 500 has fallen at least 15% from its peak on 18 occasions since 1950, and the average subsequent one-year return for stocks bought at that level is 14%. Yes, stocks will often keep falling for a time, but the subsequent one-year returns are often attractive when using a 15% decline as an entry point.
Stocks could certainly retest their early April lows. Although the base case outlook is for gains in 2025, the market is open 251 days in a year. Should stocks drop 20% or more, we believe investors would do well to consider increasing equity allocations even more aggressively. In the 12 times since 1950 that the S&P 500 dropped 20%, the average subsequent one-year return with that decline as the entry point is 19%. There are two instances in that data set with negative one-year returns after a 20% drop: during the great financial crisis in 2008-2009 and during an oil shock in the 1970s.
 

I really don't see the problem with someone paying a deposit if that's what they wish to do. 
However, that being said, I don't like getting deposits either unless rare exceptions of cross-country travel booking well in advance and if I see any red flags.  Zelle s just fine and it's very instant just as Venmo is.   I even have clients that Zelle the night before an appointment because they feel comfortable but course, as you said, there are clients that are regular.   The biggest thing about clients and providers, if you will it's all about communication.  The provider needs to communicate effectively on time and be professional about it, if they're not, then that would be a red flag for a client. If the client is not communicating effectively, then that's a red flag for the provider.  I look at it as if you're setting an appointment for a doctor or an appointment to get your car repaired or reservation at a restaurant.  
 
And I do agree there are some clients that try to scam the provider, such as, why don't you get a hotel room and then I'll meet you there and I'll pay you back.   Well I did not just fall off the truck yesterday... So ,  both the client and the provider just have to be smart about it that's all. 

Title says it all...
