I wouldn't do this for someone I knew only casually, and I'd say that hiring someone regularly and going on vacation with him once still makes that a casual relationship. A good friend -- maybe, depending on the circumstances.

No one else is put off by his chosen name?

Your link is missing an "n" in his name, so it brings up a client profile of someone in Seattle. I assume you meant this guy: https://rentmasseur.com/Alejanndro I've never hired him or met him.

Aren't Rentmasseur and Rentmen owned by the same people? If so, then I assume Rentmen's "man of the day" is as bogus as Rentmasseur's, which frequently has been featuring the same guy who used to live in my area who now lives in Palm Springs who is among a small group of guys I've hired that I would use the term "con man" to describe.

Paul's sex partners likely enjoyed that he was a horndog. What a handsome man he was, even as he aged.

Yes, you are supposed to be a member but at the locations where the compressors are self-serve it isn't like you have to swipe or tag your membership card to get the compressor to work. I understand that in some locations the compressors are in the tire center and an employee has to be the person to fill your tires. I don't know whether those employees ask to look at a membership card before filling the tires.

You live in the East Bay and call the city by the bay "Frisco"? 😧 I kid. I think something that doesn't get acknowledged here very often is that different clients might get different experiences with the same provider. I've certainly hired men who have been raved about and know I didn't get the same "special treatment" that others wrote about, and I typically chalk that up to chemistry. I am specifically thinking about someone whom I hired a couple of times and enjoyed my sessions with him, but then I got a bit jealous when I saw posts from other forum members about how enjoyable it was to shower with the masseur at the end of the session when all I got was a warm towel to clean myself off with. But I've also been with guys where I received a lot more than expected and always couch my feedback with YMMV. I think that as long as someone is more-or-less providing the service as agreed upon, there isn't a reason to fault him if he might be more into some clients than others. The real issue is when someone significantly under-performs, and I gathered from Axiom's post that this this guy gave a rather poor massage and nothing else. There really shouldn't be that much variance in client experiences and it certainly sucks for a client to spend that much for what ends up not even being a therapeutic massage.

Sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Thanks for sharing your comments with us as it will likely spare some of us from having the same experience.

If you are a Costco member, most (or maybe all) of their locations have free tire inflation pumps.

When he was in San Jose, he always had a massage ad up but his escort ad was on-and-off.

And here is another:

Apparently he was reviewed on Daddy's -- don't know whether the reviews are still available or whether they were lost when many of those older reviews went away. Here's one prior thread about him:

He's been advertising in San Jose for a decade or so, so he either just moved to the Los Angeles area or he's temporarily there and wants it to seem like a home base rather than just somewhere he's visiting. He's definitely been discussed here before, I think under the same name. I would have hired him at some point because I have enjoyed looking at his photos over the years, but the only thing that stands out in my mind in terms of chatter about him is that he has stood up more than one client and I simply wasn't interested in going through the bother of getting to San Jose from San Francisco only to have him not answer his door.

Assuming there is a real person behind that ad and not just a scammer, I will point out that the ad is a little vague. What he's clear about is that he is not willing to have sex with anyone right away, not even for money. What he is NOT clear about is whether he expects to be paid (or even just "treated well") when taken out for dates. He is looking for "successful" men, after all.

Yes, I think the trend has been to assume that all sex workers are victims, whether they are being trafficked by someone else or just exploited by those who hire them. Clients are still at risk under this lens. I very much support anti-trafficking efforts, but it's unfortunate that there still seems to be a strong belief that one adult cannot simply choose to engage in this line of work while others choose to pay for their efforts.

Cade Maddox really turns me on, so if I had more money than I knew what to do with I'd hire him at $1,000 for an hour, even though I do think (intellectually) that no one is worth that. But just as I don't go to the top rated restaurants where I live because the cost is just too high for my income bracket, I wouldn't hire someone charging that rate. I don't begrudge the restaurants that are able to charge several hundred dollars per diner per meal, and if an escort can charge a similarly high rate then good for him.

I can see that that might kill the mood for a moment, but it might make the video hotter for the viewer. I know I posted about this video on another thread here, but I loved the moment in the scene between Diego Sans and Mark Tanner when a maid literally walked in on them (you don't see her but it's obvious the door opened and she entered the room). Mark slides off Diego's dick, Diego gets out of bed, the maid apologizes and leaves, and Diego and Mark's temporary shock turns to a chuckle. I think Mark makes some quip about how that will make the video hotter. It did for me.

I've never used a WISE ATM card, but looking at their terms it seems like it would be just as expensive to use as many bank's cards since they charge both a fee for every transaction after a fairly low monthly amount AND charge a nominal currency conversion fee. My recommendation is to do more homework before you take a trip. You might already have a bank account with a bank that has fee-free ATM access in certain countries. For example, if I go to certain bank's ATMs in Mexico I don't pay a fee when using my Bank of America debit card. That being said, I think BofA used to also offer no currency conversation fee but I think those days are over. (I haven't traveled internationally since COVID started so I don't know what the current status is.) If you don't have a bank account with good international currently policies, consider opening an account with a bank that will offer said benefits and then simply put enough money in that account prior to your trip that you won't run out of money. Also, consider using credit cards whenever possible. A lot of credit cards now don't charge a currency conversion fee, so it's not only cost effective to use your credit card but it also negates the need to visit ATMs multiple times.

Yes, this has happened to me a lot as well. I understand that someone might not be available, but I especially don't understand guys logging onto a website so their ads indicate they are "available now" and then they don't take the time to respond to inquiries. I swear I had better luck in the Craigslist days, when someone would post an ad, I'd send an email, they'd reply within short order, and then if we agreed on terms we would have an appointment scheduled for anywhere from a half hour to a few hours later. I certainly don't mind scheduling in advance, either, but one does have to wonder why some guys simply don't reply to polite, to the point inquiries.

Reminds me of the first time I thought I had an STD. Went to the free clinic and the doctor chuckled a little as he told me I simply had folliculitis, not syphilis (my fear). He still ran a full STD testing panel as any good doctor would when a sexually active patient presents with a concern that he has an STD, but he assured me that I simply had an ingrown hair on my penis.

Different strokes, as they say. Even though I'm annoyed that YouTube keeps serving up Ryan Reynolds' cell phone company ads to me, I never tire of looking at Ryan Reynolds.

I understand that reaction, but a few times I've told providers how easy it was for me to learn too much about them by just searching for their phone number and suggested it would be better for them to use a different phone number for escorting than they use in their personal life. I don't think it's stalking someone to search their phone number just to see if you can find information related to their work as a provider. Just as you wrote, however, I've more typically received a response that I did something wrong versus thanking me for pointing out that they are compromising their privacy by the use of a single phone number. I can at least hope that after the irritation wore off that my information was useful to them.
