I've had providers in the past who i was seeing on a regular basis while his RM profile was inactive. I had his number so i would just text him or he would text me about meeting up. I asked him about why his profile was expired/frozen and he said he was prioritizing other sites at the time. He has a rotation of sites he spends the subscription money on and isn't using them all actively at once. I've also known providers to sometimes take breaks from fielding new clients and just focus on their regulars. A frozen/inactive profile is only really an issue or a "don't engage" for potential new clients, in my experience.
So if you already have met with the guy and have his number, it doesn't hurt anything to text and see if he's available. If he's available he'll be willing to set something up and if he's actually not available he'll either tell you that as well or he just won't reply.

Normally I'd assume it's frozen for a reason and wait for it to unfreeze. Given that you've seen him twice before and have his number, I might text him to let him know you're interested in meeting up; I'd put *something* in the text like "Hope all is well" or "Hope you're doing okay". 

Typically yes but age isn't always a great indicator.  I've had older guys flake or play games on me while younger guys (20s-early 30s) were very professional.

I'm not sure this is the right question to ask. Yes, there is a possibility that you could be scammed on either an in- or out-call. Perhaps a more appropriate question is to ask how likely it is that you will be scammed in an escort interaction. If the answer is 'not very likely', then the question of whether it is more likely when you host or when they do, becomes less pressing. 
It's probably more productive to try to understand what things you should look for to assess whether a scam is likely or not. What the yellow and red flags are, how to evaluate their behaviour. Then, when to give the benefit of the doubt and when to withhold it. This would not be the first thread in which this issue had been discussed.

You're welcome! It's generally recommended here that when we come here with a name to request info on to search the name first. It'll pull up threads mentioning that name and you can reply to that thread and it'll bring the thread back up to the top of the forum. Or sometimes the moderators will merge the threads together.

There's a grander issue of bad clients who have given providers bad experiences. Leading them to do things like ask the client for photos or to ask for a deposit as some kind of guarantee the client is legit. And for clients who are good clients this is seen as some affront to their goal of being provided service by the provider. Which leads to many of you having these pithy catty comments about providers because of a lack of empathy for providers. As evidenced by others here saying they should suck it up and deal with because it's part of the job (which isn't true and isn't inherently how it has to be).
And conversely there are providers who have conned or scammed clients, by running with deposit money or given bad performance after receiving deposit or upfront pay, which leads to clients being highly skeptical of upfront asks by the good providers.
The bad eggs on both sides have ruined it for the good eggs on both sides, and there's no solution to it other than everyone just operating as they please individually. As has also been said here and elsewhere.
But i do think it's interesting how the assumed good clients here are still so quick to have all these catty comments while providers are still expected to speak of clients as politely as possible even in criticism or explaining their own instances of being wronged by clients.

I’m only counting the ones  that offer some entertainment value. For instance, on this one, the OP marks one of his own posts as the solution to his own thread. LOL!

There's a thread on him here:
 
 

So @JockdudeP, you didn't want an answer to your question. You just wanted someone to agree with you about wanting Read Receipts on. Got it.

Anyone who has Read Receipts off are people who like having peace and not having people who are socially needy pestering them about "omg why haven't you responded yet? I see you read my message!"
Read Receipts is one of the worst things that's ever happened to texting/messaging lol.

Rather than trying to find one explanation for all the providers who self labeled as straight, do you not think that all of the narratives are possible? Some may be actually straight, some may not be straight at all but just marketing, some may be anything in between, above and below. Instead of arguing, and trying to debate the explanations we do not prefer, why we do not just have fun brainstorming imagining all the possible scenarios? 

I identify as bisexual, because I will have sex with BOTH gay men and straight men.

Be careful in private communication on OF.  They have been  monitored for solicitation.

The cross on his chest is in a different location on all 3 pictures, relative to the wings.

I only see three photos, and they look suspicious to me, photoshopped or AI-manipulated. Does not inspire confidence.

I don't think anyone really wants a straight guy. They want a straight acting guy to do gay stuff with them and maybe act like it's their first time with a guy...but they want them to get into it, so at the very least they want a bi guy.
Perhaps some might want a straight guy who closes his eyes and imagines it's a girl, but I'd have to think that's more rare.

The best providers (and porn actors) are gay and more than a little slutty in real life. They found a way to professionalize their lifestyle and get compensated for something they enjoy doing anyway.
Truly straight providers are just in it for the money and generally crap in bed. It’s like going to a restaurant with a chef that doesn’t like to cook and is not interested in food. You may it something on your plate, but it’s not going to be as delicious as it would be if the chef actually enjoys what he does.

No experience with him yet, but he's on my list. He's insanely hot and the vids on his Twitter... 🥵

A provider who l see regularly told me that so many guys have bad breath so while he will agree to kiss, if he shows up and their breath stinks then he won't kiss. Happens more than you think. I'm not sure if the guys don't care or are oblivious to it. Might be why

welcome to the forum.....
can't help with provider suggestions, but here are some hints on meeting with one - if this is mostly new to you......read them end-to-end!

be to-the-point, brief, professional in communication......no gushy daily texts!......smile, have fun, talk slowly, ask him what he likes, no money talk, look him in the eye, firm handshake....... no deposit!!

I had a job interview, and I got the vibe the boss was a complete b!tch.
She sent me an email with a return receipt on it and I purposely refused to send a response. It's an immediate flag for a controlling micromanager.
The next phone call, sure enough, she called that out and said she expected to know exactly when her employees read her email.
I told her good luck, and mentioned that as a financial expert, she should know that when hiring skilled software engineer help, she was on the wrong side of the supply and demand curve.
