Yeah it really isn’t hard on both sides. To add to what everyone has said, COMMUNICATE WHAT YOURE LOOKING FOR AND DONT LIE. (Coming off that thread last week).  
 

^Thank you for this.
Given this was for massage so a bit more straightforward than escort inquiries, but still was pleasantly surprised to have this brief, direct text exchange:
[address and details, photos]

it's really quite easy to be polite, respectful, and friendly........you got it or you don't......it comes naturally......
finger-snapping, loud, demanding, arrogant douchebags have something going on, mentally, that makes them that way.......

That's what we're here for... among other things 😛

IMHO, it depends on the provider.
There are guys who will flake on you in a heartbeat. However, there are guys who honor what they set up with you.
Years ago, I set up an appointment (ahead of time) with a well known porn actor. The day of the meeting, hours before the scheduled time, he let me know we were not going to meet. He flat out told me he set up a porn shoot that morning and needed to fly out. No apology, no remorse. 
On the flip side, a provider who've I been seeing a few times a year now has been one of the most reliable guys I've met in this hobby. He has done porn and has an onlyfans. We had set up a weekend and by happenstance a guy he wanted to shoot content was going to be in town the same time he was with me. We talked previously about how much he wanted to shoot with this guy. So I offered to let him go shoot content with the guy. I wouldn't count it against our time (since I told him he could). He told me no. He said it was sweet of me to offer but he was there with me and enjoyed being with me. He has been a very stand up guy from the moment we met.
Both the escorts in my examples were in their mid to early 30s. I would say it's not necessarily an age thing.

I don't have any information on his escorting skills. However, there are a couple of important points to note:
He last logged into RM five years ago. This is a good indication that even if you had his contact information, he probably would not be for hire. The picture of him in front of the floral chair is from a porn DVD called "In the Company of a Man." TLA Video lists it as having been made in 2014. In other words, there's a very good chance that he does not look like that anymore.

Fortune favors the bold!  Go for it!

Plus only premium members can leave reviews. I don't have a constant premium membership going all the time so the last couple guys I hired I had to wait a few months before I reupped my membership and could leave them a review. You have to lie then too and say the meetup was in the past two weeks of your submit date or it'll reject it.

It's the site I first learned about @tristanbaldwin. I have been infatuated ever since.

Exactly.  I don't understand why with all the times I have emailed Zac Efron that he hasn't replied.  How rude!
Now in addition to the common decency of a simple polite reply, I am awaiting an enormous heartfelt apology.
He has to know this is simply not good business in attracting new clients.

If he’s not looking for new clients, as multiple people have stated to you, why should he have to respond to you or anyone he doesn’t want to? He hasn’t advertised for more than 10 years. He hasn’t actively given out his contract info in that same amount of time. He has no control over people finding his contact info or people giving it out (for or against his wishes).
You may not have stated directly that he owes you anything but you sure do act like you think he owes you a response. Again he doesn’t. It would be one thing if he was advertising and didn’t respond but he isn’t advertising. Questioning someone’s decency because they don’t respond to you is ridiculous. Do you respond to telemarketers who call you? Because according to what you’ve stated you have too out of decency.
 I understand you are desperate to meet him but he clearly isn’t interested in meeting new people. He has told people he’s in contact with this.., which they have relayed to you.
I understand your area is lacking what you desire but you can’t worm your way into someone’s life who doesn’t want it. You’ve tried more than a year and no response. That non-response should tell you exactly what others have said… he’s not interested. You refuse to accept the obvious
Your only choice right now is to bring someone in or go somewhere that has people who fit what you desire. If you can’t then maybe Grindr is an option.
I won’t respond to you anymore because you seem to think what you want is more important than what he wants… to be left alone and not see new people. Clearly, what people have told you repeatedly, you just won’t believe or accept.

I don't think he was saying you did anything shady. Rather, he more likely meant that by saying you'd caught up with Apollo you were throwing shade in a different direction. That was how I read it anyway, and thought it was funny!

The shade of it all. lol!

Why should he? He doesn’t know you. He doesn’t owe you anything. He doesn’t have to respond to anyone he doesn’t want to. 
If he had to respond to every random person who found his contact information, he’d probably be texting all night and day.
Everyone who talks about seeing him recently is someone he met and knows. As has been mentioned, he’s happy with his current situation and is not looking for new clients.
Texting/contacting him constantly when he hasn’t met you previously will get you absolutely nowhere.

So nice just catching up with him

I commend you so much for trying to help us out who would love to meet this provider! 🙏 
@azdr0710 @big-n-tall It's called good decency to respond to potential new clients instead of ignoring them which is pretty impolite. Never said he owed anyone anything. I've been with a provider in the past who didn't initially answer my requests and eventually responded with an apology. That creates a good friendship and makes me want to see the provider again. I would totally move on from someone who clearly doesn't want anything from new clients including $$$ but I've repeatedly mentioned there's not that many providers in my area with no other options around and I tried for over a year hoping things would change.

Not at all, you can choose between safe sex or not:

If a provider chooses to no longer be available for new clients, that’s his choice and his choice alone. Apollo is a great guy and as @big-n-tall states, if he chooses not to interact with new clients, that is his right. I know a number of great escorts I spent wonderful evenings with who have retired over the years I have been hiring, but if they want to move on with their private lives, I continue to wish them all the best, simply treasuring my memories of our great times together.
There are also a few escorts about whom I’ve read glowing reviews and exciting reports and wished I might have experienced. I am sorry that they retired before I could see them, but I would never try to contact them. I communicated directly with Apollo asking him (at the request of a hopeful new client who DM’d me) what his policy regarding new clients was, and he said directly that he no longer accepts new clients.
