You never know how a group of gay men will respond to something.     Interesting answers.    I chuckled.

I don’t take any booking that is at short notice. Too bad if they miss out, it’s their problem not mine. I get clients who ask 4 or 5 times “hey are you available now / in the next hour or whatever” and each time I have to say “no sorry, it’s best to book in advance if possible” because I’m not available. They eventually stop asking for short notice and book ahead or they go away. 

We were able to win custody

if you’ve been to India - you would not make that statement 

I’d steer clear of any significant OF creator - why would they meet average people when they make more money filming with other hot people ?  If it looks like someone just dabbles in OF, then that’s different
i continue to be surprised at some here that set themselves up for obvious impending disappointment.  Take the easier & proven option - hires guys that meet with average type clients & make a living doing so.  Not complicated. 

To be meaningful, reviews need to include facts as well as opinions. “It was good” or “Waste of time” are not descriptive enough. Focus on facts about your experience.
A few negative points:
Tardiness, poor atmosphere such as TV on, loud noises, other people present, bad smells, unclean spaces, clutter, distractions like the provider constantly checking phone, leaving the room during the massage, unskilled work, inappropriate massage equipment like mattress on the floor, cutting your time short, rudeness, uninvited discussions of politics or religion or conspiracy theories, etc. Provider says or does something racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. Charging more than agreed upon rates (assuming no upselling). High pressure upselling behavior. Violence, threats, stalking, not showing up, ghosting, failing to communicate, doesn’t look like his photos, photos are outdated by many years, inaccurate massage description, etc…
These are just some of many things you could say in a review to make it more meaningful. Giving 1-4 stars with little or no commentary means almost nothing.
Positive reviews also need concrete details to be meaningful. Focus on facts as well as how the experience made you feel.
A few positive points:
Technical skills are as expected or better, starts on time, unrushed, friendly demeanor, accurate photos and descriptions, goes the whole time, uses appropriate equipment and supplies, accommodates client needs, space is clean, inviting, relaxing, private, safe, tidy, etc. Restroom and shower are available, provider offers water, smell in the space is neutral or pleasant, temperature is comfortable, etc…
Find what made your experience positive and write that. 5 stars means nothing other than the client presumably enjoyed it. The reason he enjoyed it could simply be that the provider was hot or got him off, or offered a discount, or 5 stars means to the client: perfectly adequate and meets expectations. Other clients reserve 5 stars only for truly excellent service. 4 stars is still positive.
Whatever you rate, explain with as much focus on facts as possible why you chose the rating you did. Then explain how the experience made you feel.
For RentMen, these are a bit of a reach considering most clients provide little to no descriptive feedback. For masseur sites, you get a wider variety.
Reviews are only as meaningful as the context they offer. Weigh each review accordingly.

With hotels (and any kind of business like that) I find that I get a lot of flexibility if I can make friends with the people on the desk. There’s a couple of hotels I use for filming (I know, it’s quite different from staying overnight - these are day use rooms booked from say 11am to 5pm). I see  some of the same people on the desk each time I use it. I get friendly with them: ask how they are, wait patiently while they do the check in, use their name (it’s on their badge). A few times they’ve assigned me a room that’s inappropriate for filming (not much space, bad angles etc) and I’ve asked to change it. Obviously I don’t say “can I have a more porn shoot suitable room please?” 😂, but I make some issue about the light or noise and ask nicely if they have another room. They always help! These people have to deal with all sorts of awkward customers every day so it’s good to be really nice and they remember it and reciprocate. If you can build up a relationship with them it’s amazing what ‘rules’ can be flexed to make life easier. 

As an employee in a prestigious business university, I will answer a bit differently...it's not a question of 'whether college is still worth it' ; it's a question of whether the potential student 'is worth college'. 
I hate to keep saying it, but the majority of this current generation who are ready to enter college or currently attending college is not mature enough nor responsible enough to attend college. So the answer is - no, college is not 'worth it' because this generation is not capable of getting any worth out of college. 
I would love to invite all of you to work by my side for one day. You wouldn't believe what I - and my colleagues - have to deal with on a day to day basis. And yes, I blame the parents - for coddling them and babying them. 

I am 100% honest in my stats listed on my client page. If a provider does not want to meet with me due to my age, height, weight, cock size, etc. I'd rather hire someone that wants to. There are plenty of options!

This is my experience as well. 

I don’t care what their physical appearance is. Most clients don’t disclose what they look like and I don’t ask but I’d guess around 20% send a description and a handful send a picture. In my experience clients are accurate in their description if they offer it. 

I'd pass,  sounds like you are potentially creating an issue for yourself.   Give him a tip and wish him a happy holiday!

^My first point to clients insisting on outcall hotel massages to persuade them to visit my studio only 10-15 mins away. Since standard American hotel rooms do not have clear space for a table and working room, a lot of times I have to say no. European hotels are even tighter. Some Mexican hotels are more spacious. Some hotel suites (anywhere) have space, but that’s way less common a client has a suite.
I refuse to do bed massages primarily for this reason. It’s so hard on my body. It’s also a fraction of the quality of my regular table massages. If those reasons weren’t enough, clients can’t seem to understand or respect the boundaries between SW and massage. I’ll get on the bed with you if you pay my rates for that. I’m not offering discount SW for a client feigning he only wants a massage and insists on massage pricing and then pressures me into providing a lot more than massage in person.
Most clients do very well with a properly adjusted headrest. A few of my clients insist on laying their head on their side under their arms/hands or use a pillow for whatever reasons from claustrophobia, to fear of nasal drip, to desire to look at me while face down, to bad habit. It’s terrible because their back and neck are prevented from being in a neutral position so I can’t properly massage some of their muscles, and for other muscles it’s strained at best. I can’t fold their arms down comfortably onto my arm shelf either which makes my arm massage less comprehensive, and less deep. And it’s less comfortable.
One client needed a pillow for health reasons - congestive heart failure. He had to tilt up for safety. I respect that and work around it.
This might send the wrong message lol! For christsake, just hire for escort service and use a bed…
No. The others are either kidding themselves or killing themselves trying to give an actual good massage on a hotel bed. It’s possible, but difficult and not as good for the client as a proper table and fucks up the masseur’s body, regardless of what body type he has or his ethnicity.
Nothing wrong with getting a sensual massage ‘scene’ that leads into whatever sexual ending you want, but clients please be honest with yourselves and pay your guy appropriately for what service you’re actually hiring (and expecting).
When you actually want a good massage, ask for your masseur to perform it on a table. You owe it to yourself to treat yourself to quality. Don’t settle. Even erotic massages are best done on a professional table. For the lazy/cheap/uninformed/time crunched hotel visitor…plan your time ahead, and get your ass in an Uber to your masseur’s incall location. It’s better for you because you get quality. And it’s better for your masseur because he can offer better service and not kill his body.
@Jamie1 I know you offer outcall floor and bed massages, but this is one of the few differences you and I have in how we are willing to work. How does it affect your body? Can you give an equally good massage this way vs a table?

Because blackmailers, arsonists, kidnappers, pirates, thieves, graffiti artists, and their ilk always come clean over lunch -- often before the crudites are even cleared. 😉 

You can clearly see what he looks like since his Private gallery has those types of photos in it.

Some providers have no idea what control they have and don't have over the business they're in.  

Umm… they’re allergic to peanuts. When did that happen?

I’m a lot like Danny in my approach. I actually go to where I say I am going. My scouting trips are not just virtual. I go to a city to see what it’s like. Sometimes it’s better, sometimes just ok. I haven’t had a bad trip so far, and I attribute that to research on the places I go - plus a bit of luck. Then of course there are tried and true destinations I know I will be busy and have repeat business.
So many clients reach out when I post travel and then want to wait to book me until I am physically there…but by then it’s too late. I may have space available in my schedule, but it’s not on the exact days and times the client wants and often they can’t make it work.
Had the client booked ahead when he first contacted me two weeks prior, he could have almost any time he wanted.
My days tend to fill up the day-of with whatever availability I have left going to last minute inquiries.
Masseur schedules differ from escort schedules in that we can take more clients in a day. I regularly take six/day when I travel. Escort clients I would only be able to take 1-2 per day. Usually just one. Consider that limiting factor when you book an escort. The one or two spots he has on the day you want may already be full by the time he arrives.

I was a younger gay man in the '50s who watched I Love Lucy every week, and I never felt the slightest gay vibe from Fred. He reminded me of my grandfather, who was a grumpy old private detective.

He’s a pro 😉. I’ve used that line once or twice….
 

All I would say when you reach out to a provider last minute is "Sorry for the short notice but do you have availability this evening." Nothing more really needed.

I don’t understand why you feel the need to explain what happened with another provider. Best case scenario you are telling the new provider that they are a second choice which IMHO is never a good way to start a hire.
Like anyone else I have several choices listed when I hire. If for some reason my first choice ends up canceling, I start contacting the next one on the list to see if they are available. No need for explanations. 

Agree.
The 'why' in this case doesn't matter and will start things off badly.  
Positive clients get repeat visits.  Negative clients are one and done.
