So let me get this straight...Secret Shopper is here 'schilling' for Rentboy.pro? Such a double standard, if the boys from Rentmen.Eu were on here, you'd be jumping all down their throats. For an escort that has been involved in the business 8-9 years, let me fill in some of the new advertisers on the board as the the 'generosity' of Rentboy.com, and why you shouldn't trust ANY of their progeny. -They increased their costs to the advertiser 3x over the period during which I was advertising with them. A city like Providence RI went from 19.95 to 29.95 to 39.95 to 49.95. Do you want to see comparable inflation rates for the US Economy during '08-'13, or do you think you might have been GOUGING a little? -Each ad was only applicable to ONE CITY, and when you went to change it, there was often a fee difference involved. Switching Providence to NY(larger city), incurred additional costs, and when you switched it back to a smaller city, it kept you at the higher price. -For touring escorts, you NEED to have ads up in multiple cities ahead of time- with the Rentboy model, I was out 200-300 a month for ads, and dealing with customer service was not always a treat. They had some good people, don't get me wrong, but most weren't altogether too nice. It was all about the $$$. Now, with the Rentmen.Eu model- as a gold or platinum escort, you get your main city plus SIX travel cities, all at one cost. I don't know about any of the other advertisers on here...but between interaction with Daddy's Forum users, and clients who just peruse RentMen....I couldn't fit more people in if I tried. It's the perfect balance. Furthermore, I can personally vouch for one of the people that works over at Rentmen- he used to answer my phones and emails. He's discrete, honest to a fucking T, and actually cares about keeping RIP OFF FAKE ESCORTS off of their service. If all you guys think a free service out there that has a track record of upping their price, offering less, and doing NOTHING to protect your personal information is the way to go- then there's the door! BYE! RentMen has been the best thing to happen to this industry in the past 10 years, anyone is a fool to think otherwise. #FACT

I’d worry about how to conjugate verbs and form sentences before you call out who’s an alpha or not. #JustSaying While you’re still stewing on that and shamelessly plugging mid-range ‘straight guy’ escorts, I’ll be over here making people smile. In ‘Non-Alpha-Land’...

Many thanks again to those who jump to my defense...and I call say here, is that some people have very little trouble reaching me at all...they're existing clients who have my personal number, know my ins and outs- they literally get texts sometimes of me with my Dad or family. Clients become friends to me, and I'm sure as hell more apt to answer a phone call or text from someone I know, rather than simply a random number popping up on the screen. So my sincerest apologies for not snagging a call if it came in- I get buried; especially when coming back from overseas. Still trying to catch up, and it's a losing venture. @youngboldone I truly appreciate your persistence, but unfortunately the Pittsburgh-Cleveland trip ends up being just those two cities. HOWEVERRRRRRRRRR.......I just booked 4/24 - 4/26 into Cincinatti, instead- that looks equally as close, and from there I intend to pop up and check out the Dayton Air Museum and other stuff, besides work / clients...hope you're free to link up! Adding it to my RM now as 4/24 Indianapolis and 4/25 and 4/26 Cincinatti / Dayton! -TB-

Mark Henderson; has quite a following for his coffee table books, etc. It does seem that a lot of photographers like having a 'controlled element' that they feel comfortable with...such as a backdrop, lighting, props, etc....and they'll use multiple models in that same mold, until one looks stellar in it. Lighting works good on some guys, not on others. I've wanted to shoot with Henderson for a long time, but I'm never ripped enough! That guy requires a serious diet...like a Vin Marco level of shred. To a fat boy like me....I like beer and sweets too much. =(

I've always had a more passive approach to reaching out to clients- always letting them message me first. The reason being- when you call or text someone(even email depending on what their notification settings on a smartphone might be....), you're running the chance that someone around them reads it or demands that they read it aloud. Have had it happen- pissed off wives or partners calling you back or on speakerphone in the background while you're with the client. Bottom line....let the client drive the bus. He controls the communication, he controls the action. Just the safest course of events, and also one that shows you're not reeking of desperation tapping people for sessions. Most strong guys can't even keep up communication wise as is...let alone going looking for it. And WmClarke....if you start escorting, I get to be your first client!!!!!

By the way, @VictorPowers , I see your avatar....so Joey at FlyFoto is recreating the photo shots we did with you? *Sniffle* I'm jealous, but they look great!! He's such a great guy, and a master at lighting...

I can just picture it....a fuckin' egg time like you're poaching them...LOL

Ok, maybe it's because I have a few drinks in me that I feel like throwing heat right now....no no...I feel like throwing TRUTH right now. "In Vino; Veritas." Whimsical at best? Projecting positivity vs. negativity out to the Universe is a 'whimsical' attitude? In all actuality, it's a fairly level headed approach. You tour cities that you KNOW there's something worth seeing things in...if you're slamming busy, then you don't get to see those things...but it's a win, $ wise. And if you aren't slammed and jammed, then you just had a vacation and a chance to work on yourself. A WIN. Both these things require a positive, UNGUARDED outlook, I won't even use the word ATTITUDE here, because it implies the very same crap that I think is holding you back from being a better escort, pardon my fucking French. Case and point- you say: "My experience would never allowed someone to know my hotel location or book an appointment by email or forum chat alone". Ok, that right there shows a certain degree of attitude. What's the harm in letting someone know the name of your hotel in advance? Perhaps it's in a section of town they don't feel like going to; perhaps parking is expensive there. Perhaps it's got a front desk that is on top of things and gives clients grief on the way in. If you approach each client with this guarded attitude, like everyone has a negative motive towards you, then God help you. (On the flip side of the coin, I'm not saying to be naive either, but this FORUM is a community of mostly VETTED people). I'm gonna come straight out and say it- and this isn't RACE driven at all(I've played with ALL types from all corners of this world, I enjoy and appreciate EVERYONE)....you and Sean Xavier are in my opinion, the best looking two African American escorts out there. You've got all the weapons in your arsenal to succeed, yet you're upset at a lot of what comes your way. Attitude is everything; if you have a bad trip you brush it off and don't let that affect your performance with clients on the next one. Don't dwell. You could be a Caravaggio of escorting; but you're not painting with all the colors on the palette. Be well all, I'm boarding for home. Jordan("TB")

Eight of his pictures look great; picture #2 on Rentmen; not so much. We all take good and bad pictures, but I think he looks far better clean cut. I never noticed the USMC tattoo till now.

Interesting thread, strong commentary by both @Mocha and @VictorPowers , as well as the client side too. I find that although I can stay plenty busy in New England / NYC, it’s more fun to explore on the road...and that the novelty of being somewhere near makes your experience part vacation part work; versus purely work. When you go into things in a GOOD MOOD with a SMILE on your face, you’re already setting the stage for success. You could be a lackluster escort with a great attitude and still succeed...or you could be a great looking guy...but if you’re miserable and whine and cry a lot about what’s strong and what’s not; you’re gonna be found lacking. #justsaying I routinely miss the dogs and the comforts of home, but when I’m on the road it drives me...not to make $ nexceasarily, but to make sure the events you DO connect with, whether busy or slow, are successes. I mean, why the fuck would you step on a plane to go bring a C- game somewhere. My advice- because a lot of these guys go on road 10-14 days....it’s more cost effective I agree on flights, to do 3/4 cities on multi City tickets, then round trips out and back....but if you go out 4 days back 2, out 4 back 2 and so on....you’ll be a lot happier, who cares if you don’t have as much money at end or the day, you’ll have more sexual energy and always bring your A game. But what the fuck do I know...?

The easiest way to spot Epigonos is the ABSURDLY large penis in tight faded jeans. It’s unmistakeable. Like a billboard on the side of the highway....

Holy shit, Look at the size of 'NWhite!'. His thumb next to that shaft! If he ever wants to donate that thing, I'll take it as a transplant!

No Thai Bodybuilder gyms for us just yet; but the day is still young. :D

Woah! I don't know how somehow my notifications for this thread got turned off; since I had initially jumped in on the first few pages when the dates were first announced to let everyone know the airfare was alreadyyyyyyy booked. Wouldn't miss this for the world. So since I'm in arrears here...combing through pages and pages about Deviled eggs, my future fiancé Steven, and what-not, I'll try to be succinct... Rick from Rentmen(who used to help 'manage' me, and knows me better than probably anyone else on this page), once told Traveler North("TN"-my mentor to the Springs and in life/travel), 'Tristan would never be interested in something like that."(The Springs Event). It's the one thing he's ever been somewhat off on, in my entire life. Figuring what's the worst that could happen- what could possibly be outside my comfort zone given what we as escorts and those of us who've done adult films(boom microphones and cameras literally right next to your ass while having sex at weird angles)....I accompanied TN there. The rest is history. When you shape clay, like Patrick fucking Swayze in Ghost...is it instantly a smooth, beautiful process? No, it's a turn by turn revolution with each surface coming into contact with another surface...hand to clay...that CHANGES one thing into another. Every single forum member you come in contact with, every escort....will change you every so slightly....and the aggregate of all these meetings is such a positive thing...I cannot name ONE case where someone has left the Springs not better off for it. Opens you up, broadens your horizons...makes you feel comfortable as both worker or client alike, with something that is so innately 'uncomfortable' or off the radar screen. I owe a great deal of my success as an escort to this event, not solely because of sessions ever occurring with people I've met from there....moreover, because of how those <1% of people who have the courage and interest to come to this event have SHAPED ME in dealing with the other >99% of people out there. They make the mold to follow, and god do I loveeeeeeeeee that mold. Especially when it's shaped like Kessler. (Half asleep as I type this; greetings from Thailand!) Jordan / "Tristan"

Wow. First time I've ever seen someone do a '411 XXXXXXXXXXX' on themselves....

He looks pretty sharp, I actually like his look. Or maybe it's because I own the exact same and same COLOR underwear and dance in it! LOL. Anyone seen him personally / how are his reviews?

It's a shame that he's got that kind of attitude, because his body is on point. That's why Vin Marco is 'The Shit' in my opinion- the least amount of negative attitude and no drama, I've EVER seen in guy that size. All Class and Intelligence; I'll stake my rep. on it, any day.

I Gather that Vin has wrestled in High School and knew his shit...however, he's reluctant to wrestle unless he knows the other person's strengths/limitations/sanity, as there is a VERY real chance of injury if you aren't careful or are wrestling someone who goes overboard. Both my torn rotators came as a result of matches....but wow, would Vin be a hot match! Big boy and RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPED.

Blayne from Thunders does escort and wrestle; and he's incredibly handsome...but I think he uses different pictures in his escort ad. He's based out of Orlando / Tampa area, and I can't figure out for the LIFE of me which one he is. I've wrestled both he and Marco, and although Marco is more hot/ripped, I'd consider Blayne the better investment on this end. -Jordan-

I believe he does, I've heard of people meeting him before. Cameron Matthews probably organizes matches with him, for a fee.

Having shot XXX scenes with him; I asked him about his willingness to escort, given how popular he is...he said he's well taken care of over at andrew Christian and with XXX...so he doesn't escort... To me, I'm guessing he has at least a few huge clients real on the quiet...and maybe we'll see him here one day...

TB hasn't responded because TB was too busy trying to find a comparable jacket, only made out of CHINCHILLA!!! 300 chinchillas necessary for a typical jacket. 400-500 chinchillas would be neccesssry for a jacket that'll fit a @builder boy or @big-n-tall 's playmate size....we know you like those Muscleboys! @whipped guy dont worry, if we have leftover chinchilla, we'll make you a cloth gag with chinchilla fur but a nice rubber ball in the middle.

@body2body , you were in fact the first person to review me and someone who had been there throughout these years as a friend farrrrr more than a client and one who even gave freely of HIS time to help me help a friend out who had particular problems that I wasn't as experienced in dealing with! Your advice and expertise were pivotal, and will forever be remembered. That's one of the things that I truly love about this forum, is that the guys on it all have something to offer that is FAR GREATER then sex, Money, or support. A lot of these escorts who only engage their clients on that superficial level and are afraid to open up to them, never get opened up to back...and that's where things are much more symbiotic. Don't get me wrong- there's some 'wham bam thank you ma'am's' that you only want to be on the physical level- but those are the type of people who just grab phone Numbers and emails off Rentmen or back page or Craigslist or whatever source; and haven't ever HEARD of daddys. The guys that put the time into researching / hiring or are in this community/discussion board are the BEST clients, bar none....they just have that added depth to them. #mytwocents

I do truly appreciate the vote of confidence that I look better in current form; then as the little twink boy I kinda started in. However, I don't lament the way the progression occurred...it kinda showed me the 'ropes' along the way and to appreciate things from all sexual positions, fetishes, and perspectives. Here's a funny tangent about that scene, responding to the 'noise disturbance' for BukBuddies. Very fun group to work with....local to Connecticut...very informal and kinda amateurish...but the shoots were quick and the boys they partnered me with cute and compatible. That PARTICULAR scene..(filmed at my house, in the kitchen, by the way...where the kid is wearing the towel..)...the poor boy got into a car accident on the way to my house. Broken windshield, glass in his face and somehow he cut his big toe stepping on glass.(I mean...who the fuck drives barefoot, really?). However, he was a TRUE SUB...and whatever the guys at Bukbuddies told him to do, he did....so they told him...you WILL show up at Tristan's house...you WILL service him, and you can go to the ER afterwards. Sooooooooo.....he shows up, we triage and dress his wound up nice and tight...and we shoot a scene as he's bleeding all over my kitchen.(Soaking right through the pressure dressing I applied.). I didn't have FunGuy on site to help with the medical stuff or as a 'grip' of some kind. I'll have to get a pic for the Daddy's Forum in this thread before work on Saturday night, once I'm all oiled up and shaven again. Weighing in 194 again, only a few lbs off the MAX ever. TRYING TO GET READY FOR A CERTAIN POOL PARTY IN PALM SPRINGS!!!!!!!! NOTE TO ALL OF YOU NOT ATTENDING- IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO GRAB PLANE TIX! Only a 2 hr drive in from LAX, 3 hrs from Vegas or Phoenix...and it's a great chance to meet not only guys from the industry, but to make lifelong friends amongst other forum members. Every single member I've ever harped on nonstop to come and try it has NOT regretted it, please PM me or Oliver for details, or see the appropriate thread for the Forum Gathering in Palm Springs 4/21-4/23!!!!

I'm blushing. And masturbating.... ....but mostly blushing! ❤❤❤❤ you guys!!!! Plus, I will say this...when an escort scans his email box, his personality and what HES looking for are magnetically drawn towards certain messages, from certain people you just 'click!' With. So articulate, educated, fun gentleman are my 'thing'. If you happen to message me one word statements saying 'Hey!' Or 'Want 2 Fuk' or simply 'I'm Horny'; you'll be waiting to the end of time for a response...there's a different way to word all that. It's no surprise that the guys that see me are some of the most well written guys on this forum; and as educated as they are; there's no question as to whether we are connecting or whether something is up in the air. Perhaps the earlier, poorly written 'apprentice' with his hidden profile(doesn't want everyone to see his posts because they're all similar flames) messages escorts with 'Hey.. I want 2 fuk!' And thinks that's an appointment...? Tune in Tokyo...it's not! Lol. Love all you guys on here and CANNOT wait to the springs...I may have a surprise guest to bring to the pool party!! TB
