  1. A smart provider is going to know how much he can afford to spend on a hotel room and still make money. I don't begrudge someone staying at a more affordable hotel, even if he's charging at or near the top of the average range, as long as the hotel is decent. I certainly don't think it's going to help an escort perform better if he's worried about getting at least four clients every day just so he can pay for the room and other travel costs and have a bit left over for profit. I don't want to go to a flop house in the worst neighborhood (though honestly one of my hottest appointments was with a traveling guy in a motel in a not very nice area), and beyond the initial reaction to a room in a luxury hotel once I'm in bed with someone I'm not thinking about the view or anything else related to the room as long as the room is decent enough to facilitate a good experience. I can understand that if you are staying overnight in a hotel that you might want something upscale, but for an hour where presumably you are enjoying someone's company? Who cares.
  2. Am I understanding you correctly: An escort came to your hotel room and when you went to check out (after the escort left) you discovered drugs and drug paraphernalia? If that's the story, I'd suggest that he simply forgot the stuff. I don't see why someone who uses drugs would leave their drugs behind. Used paraphernalia that has no further use, yes; but drugs, no. Also, what would he have to gain by "setting you up" to have housekeeping find this stuff after you check out? It sounds like this guy probably did "party" when he was in your room or this stuff wouldn't have been left behind, so maybe it makes sense for you to screen out guys who advertise PNP if you don't already do so.
  3. I hardly asked a dumb question since most people actually link a video or written article if they want to share something, not a screen shot that shows a title of something that the reader can then go look for himself. I asked simply because I assumed the first post had to be a mistake because I don't think I've ever seen anyone try to share information online that's just a screenshot of an article or video.
  4. While I don't deny that's true, there's still a relatively small population of prospective clients compared to the overall population in any area.
  5. In other words, go to YouTube and search for it ourselves if we're interested.
  6. Did you intend to actually share something other than a photo and headline?
  7. I'm guessing that the providers who post here aren't too motivated to share on a public forum exactly how much they make -- or maybe even give a ballpark figure. I could be wrong since I'm not a provider but I don't think it's possible to make a good living as an escort unless you develop a good reputation (so people are drawn to you beyond whatever ads you run) and treat clients well enough that many of them want to see you repeatedly. Decatur Guy mentioned above the math for making $180K/year -- 2 hours per day at $300/hour, 300 days/year. If you don't have people hiring you regularly, how would any escort attract 300 different clients every year for two hour appointments (or 600 if they only hire you for an hour)? Even in a city with a large gay male population, it isn't like every one of them is hiring escorts. All of the other work surrounding meeting one client also takes time, so even if one is drawn to the idea of having sex with a few hundred different men every year it's going to take a lot of work to reach that level of business and maintain it.
  8. Those were her next two hits after Alfie. Her earliest hit, in 1962, was Don't Make Me Over, though it was a bigger hit on the r&b chart than pop (where it peaked outside of the top 20). Unless you're a big Dionne fan you probably wouldn't even remember that song today. Her first big hit that more people are likely to remember is Anyone Who Had A Heart and then, of course, Walk On By which came next was an even bigger hit and is probably even known by kids today given it was heavily sampled in Doja Cat's huge hit from three years ago, Paint The Town Red. Sorry for the digression into discussion Dionne Warwick, one of my favorites. Those who are interested can resume their roasting of this Alfie character.
  9. Well, not quite. Dionne had eight top 40 hits over a period of five years before Alfie appeared on the b side of one of her singles (including one of her signature songs, Walk On By), so she was already a "star."
  10. I just tried it again on my desktop PC. Still works for me. Just to highlight the requirements in case anyone isn't aware of them: 1. Use Chrome. 2. Use hide.me/en/proxy site 3. Enter URL of rentmen.eu ad in the "browse anonymously on the fly" link box, then click Go. 4. You'll likely have to click the age acknowledgement box a couple of times to enter the rentmen.eu site. (Again, make sure you don't click the button for rent.men.) 5. You'll then be able to click the link to Read All Reviews for that advertiser, and the text of the reviews will display. I just tried again on my Android phone and couldn't get hide.me to work on either the mobile or desktop version of the site as I could not see the button to click to acknowledge age.
  11. As mentioned in another thread about him and his boyfriend in the Lounge, he's currently in jail for domestic violence: https://www.tmz.com/2026/06/03/porn-star-drake-von-arrested-for-alleged-domestic-violence/
  12. Any more thoughts? Cancel the sound machine order and just rely on the sound of fans and/or air purifiers. Not much reason to pay money for a device that just makes white noise as far as I am concerned unless you specifically like the "nature" sounds it simulates. Maybe I'm just biased, but the ones I've heard generally sound unpleasant other than the basic "rain" sound which can easily be found in various YouTube videos.
  13. Do you currently hear noise from the people above you? By that I mean are their ordinary footsteps audible? Can you hear them talking or hear their TV or stereo? If not, you'll probably be okay. Apartment living can be rough. About 15 years ago I was so fed up with having my sleep disturbed that I was going to move again, and that happened to coincide with market forces that allowed me to buy a condo instead of remaining a renter. The main criteria I looked for (apart from affordability, of course) was construction that minimized noise transmission. I had my agent go outside into the hallway and talk as he moved around. I had him knock on interior walls while I stood on the other side. I was sufficiently satisfied that the building construction (also steel and concrete) was of sufficient quality to minimize noise. Fortunately I was right. There is some noise transmission but not when things are just at an ordinary daily living level. By that I mean if my upstairs neighbor is moving furniture around I can hear that, but most days I don't know whether he's even home. Even when I had some tenants next door who played their music very loudly I could barely hear it in my unit though it was much more audible in the hallway. Here's hoping that your building is similarly well constructed. I know that more modern construction does not necessarily guarantee this: My last trip to Los Angeles was horrible for my sleep because I could hear every single footstep from the apartments above and next to the one I rented. The builder must have cut a lot of corners because there were all sorts of other defects that were surprising to see in a building only a few years old, including a patio sliding door that had to be held in a certain position in order to close properly because the floor settled at an angle.
  14. Are you saying that all of those photos are recent, not edited/retouched, and that he's 60 years old? If so, I've never seen anyone that well preserved at 60. Edit: I just did reverse image search him and looked at the first page of Instagram photos (I cannot look at more because I no longer have an Instagram account). On some photos his face looks older than in others, but I'd still peg him in the 40-50 age range, not 60. To answer your question, yes, I'd feel scammed if I was expecting a man in his 20s and he opened the door because, while he looks very appealing, he does not look like a man in his 20s. Would I go through with the appointment? Yes, because he still looks great. But someone who specifically wants a man under 30 shouldn't be put in an awkward position of having to confront a liar. Which brings it back to the main point of this tread: Why not just be at least more or less honest about one's age and have people saying how great you look for your age rather than trying to kid everyone that you're 30 when you haven't seen that age for over two decades?
  15. Nick Floyd has a YouTube channel on which he's posted at least a few videos regarding feeling sad or depressed, and in one video a few years ago he said he was quitting the industry. I've seen scenes from him since then, but I know that sometimes scenes are shot and not released right away so maybe everything I've seen has been previously created content. I get both charm and more than a bit of snark when listening to him, but having grown up around snark that wouldn't prevent me from wanting to meet him if he were available.
  16. It seems silly to expect a provider to literally provide drop-in service, but short notice? I understand that a lot of providers don't work that way, but at least back in the day of sites like Craigslist a lot did. I cannot count the number of times a guy would place an ad, I would respond within a few minutes of his ad showing up, he would respond within a few minutes of receiving my response, and we'd meet within an hour. I get that that is not equivalent to having an escort ad up 24/7 on a site like Rent.men because no one is going to be available all day and night every day, and a lot of the guys who put ads on Craigslist only did so sporadically and when they were actively looking for work. (Yes, there were guys who put ads up several times per day every day, but that's not the kind of guy I mean.) I'd never pressure a guy to meet earlier than was convenient for him, though, and sometimes that meant scheduling several hours in advance but a lot of providers were as eager to meet as soon as possible as I was.
  17. I only ever hired one guy for overnights. With him that meant that he would arrive in time for dinner (usually, though sometimes our plans began after dinner) and then he left in the morning when I had to go to work or, if it was a weekend, usually mid-morning. The above advice is good, though: Each provider may see things differently so it's best to be more specific when hiring someone for an overnight what that means for them. After all, we have some providers who are hired for an hour who want to leave in a half hour or less just because the client had an orgasm.
  18. Most "free" porn sites have pop-ups. A couple of good pop-up blockers should take care of most issues, but I still get one pop-up (for Chaturbate) when clicking the link to watch this video. DennisXL is sexy and has a nice cock. BigCockDude3 has a nice cock but apart from that I'm not particularly excited by him.
  19. I could have sworn that when the site came back online as Company of Men and the old review site was archived that everything that was on the review area of the old site was there. I just checked and it's either now missing a lot of stuff or just isn't functioning properly, at least for me. When I look for reviews in my area, I see a small number of reviews and then it cuts off. I can tell there's another listing, but there's no scroll bar allowing me to look at more of the list. If the site is functioning properly for you, maybe your reviews are just among those that were lost when Daddy's Reviews and, previously, HooBoy's site were live. I don't recall the details, but I do remember that there was at least one instance of data being lost with no backup available.
  20. Jamie, as usual, wrote a cogent response but I want to highlight one thing he wrote: "A script feels like a hard sell. Have a few messages you'd like to get over but do it in a personal way that is tuned towards the client." This is sage advice for any type of service professional. I've written this next sentence so many times and erased it so I guess I don't know what else to say other than that as a client I want to feel like I'm being appreciated as a person and not just viewed as source of income.
  21. When I was young, I'd say my "type" was more similar to me: preferably blond, young men with lean bodies, though I always preferred men more muscular than myself (though not into the body builder category). Now I'd say that I am far more attracted to men with dark hair and skin darker than mine, and as I've gotten older my preference for men has skewed younger than me. Not that I never find men in their sixties attractive, but I'd be lying if I said that my physical "type" wasn't more 20s/30s men.
  22. I'm confused by this post. First of all, Jung wrote about individuation, not individualization. Broadly speaking, it's about integrating one's unconscious and conscious selves so I'm not sure how it has anything to do with expressing hurt about a masseur firing a long-term client. I also don't know who Kevin is.
  23. I don't want to debate whether this should be happening, but doesn't everyone know that this sort of thing is happening? By that I mean, why would anyone who (a) has an easily identifiable identity (face on Rentmen, shows face in porn performances) and (b) does sex work even attempt to visit the USA at this point? I feel sorry for Milo Miles (and he is a cutie), but if he had thought about this in advance wouldn't he have realized that now is not the time to visit the US for any reason?
  24. Unless this guy has updated the photos in his Rentmen ad to those of a different person, I don't think Steffano_hot on Rentmen is the same person who advertised on Rentmasseur as Steffano. The face and torso look totally different.
  25. You started this thread and titled it I'm Really Stressed, so I assumed you were stressed as well as the escort you wrote about.
