Today with no ads on Craigslist and the like? Less likely, I think. But many years ago I definitely ran into some odd things when hiring off Craigslist. On one occasion, I reached someone who proceeded to lecture me and then warn me that I could end up being arrested by contacting men running ads like his. On another occasion (and I'm still not sure how the guy managed this), the number I called was answered by my local non-emergency local police dispatch call center. Maybe someone placed an ad and forwarded the number listed to the police department? It freaked me out a bit but I simply hung up, saying I called the wrong number.

I had the same thought. Why are they wearing what look like women's bikinis when they don't appear to be trying to appear feminine in any other way? Some cute guys, but the bikini tops were a definite turn off.

Just a couple of observations, for what they are worth: 1. In any kind of business, it's the job of the salesperson to close a sale with a prospective buyer. I know of no business where 100% of inquiries result in sales. You write as if you expect every single inquiry to result in a booking and that just isn't a reasonable expectation. If your rate of success isn't where it needs to be (which appears to be the case based on what you've posted), I suggest looking at what you can do to improve that. I think that threatening to post names and phone numbers (or actually following through with that threat) is not a smart tact for a variety of reasons. 2. Ask your fellow escorts which strategies they use to cut down on time wasting. There are some very successful escorts on this site. I don't know whether any of them will be willing to offer you business advice -- and I don't even know if you're open to advice from others that doesn't already confirm what you think -- but if I were in your shoes I would want to know what positive actions others are taking that lead to their success. Going down a rabbit hole of negativity is not going to yield positive results. Focus on success, not failure; focus on proactive steps, not reactions to problems. 3. Take your venting off line. I understand the need to vent. I vent about what I don't like about my job, but I don't put those in writing and send them to everyone I work with. I vent in person with people I know who are willing to listen (and obviously I don't let those relationships become consumed with my negativity; it's just part of what occurs). I think it's particularly dangerous for a business owner to vent about customers (or potential customers) in public since you can turn off potential customers, alienate existing customers, and incite people who might otherwise not even know about your business to start a negative campaign against it. There are always people who like a good fight, and if you appear to be starting one then you'll surely find people who will be more than willing to spend time trying to get what they perceive as the upper hand. For this reason alone, I think your online presence here is destructive to your business. My general impression of you, never having met you, is that you are unhappy with this profession and I just don't think that's a wise image to project on a site where the majority of members are potential customers.

I didn't think Mike would be my "type" either (mostly because of the facial hair, which I generally dislike) but I saw him at a cafe once and he just exuded sex appeal, even though I didn't interact with him (was with a bunch of coworkers).

Mark Consuelos is such a handsome man. I like their acceptance speech.

Yes, lots of these "free" promotions just aren't worth it. How much does one value one's time? If I am right by an establishment giving away something and the wait is minimal (and I have even a remote interest in taking what they are giving), I'll bite. Otherwise, no thanks -- particularly when there are strings attached such as a two hour window or limited to the first X customers.

Your reply isn't fair. If you look at all of my posts on this site, you'll see I don't have a problem discussing topics with people -- though I don't post often here. I just think that quoting select excerpts from my post and then making a snarky comment is rude and not worth my time. And it's really curious that you would comment on a simple exchange between two other people from over four months ago that has not elicited further comments in the interim. Not sure what your intent is, but beyond this reply I have no interest in going tit-for-tat with you, either. This thread is about Rafael Alencar, not you or me. And speaking of Rafael, I decided to subscribe to his Just For Fans channel after seeing a few of his videos. I still find him incredibly alluring, but the videos have already begun to get tiresome for me. I'm not sure if he posts the other parts of videos on yet other pay sites, but he'll sometimes post a "part 2" for which no other parts are available. Even stuff that isn't labeled as being just a portion of a longer video frequently lacks cum shots. He is fun to watch since he's such an aggressive top, but even there after three months of watching him ram his cock into a variety of men in basically the same way I am finding myself thinking about the song, "Is That All There Is?"

$ale of the Century isn't a show I watched during its run in the 1980s, but I have watched some reruns recently and was surprised to find the two hot male models in Speedos on occasion. The blond guy is especially yummy. I'm not sure I've seen another game show where the male models ever wear tight swimsuits, but James O'Halloran wearing swim trunks on The Price is Right is always a welcome sight.

Search and you will find lots of positive comments about him here. I've never met him so I cannot add to the testimonials.

I have to disagree to some extent. Think about it from the client's perspective: He knows he's overweight, but he has no idea what's happened on that bed previously. For all he knows, the bed is about to collapse anyway and the combined weight of both he and the masseur were the tipping point in the bed's collapse. Maybe the masseur had other, similarly large clients before him. Maybe the last people who stayed in that room were even bigger. Who knows? As beds are not cheap, as a client I wouldn't simply fork over several hundred dollars because the masseur asked for it. I am fortunately not so large as to make a bed collapse at this point so I am not arguing this out of a defensive position; I just think it's a bit of a stretch to lay the entire responsibility on one client simply because the obvious damage occurred while he was there.

I like his photos and have been noticing his ads for a while. What gives me pause is that he keeps changing his name. One of the previous ones was Agador, but I'm pretty sure he had one or two others before that -- all within a period of a year or two. I seem to recall some discussion about him here before, but I'm not sure which name that discussion was listed under and I didn't find anything about him searching for Agador. He was mentioned under a thread on SF tops using his current name, but the only feedback was that someone met him socially and thought he was nice.

I know your post is from a couple of years ago, but I thought I'd chime in to say that they are still active in creating new content for their website.

Profile is already marked "expired." Interesting.

Anyone with any experience with this gentleman? I searched and cannot find anything online about him other than his RentMen ad. https://rentmen.eu/Bleu_xx

As a client, I wouldn't be inclined to pay to see someone's photos just to decide whether I want to hire him. As a gay man who enjoys looking at photos and videos of hot men, there is so much content available online to view -- both free and paid -- that I don't see that requiring potential clients to pay to see photos makes sense. If you can get a following of guys who want to pay to see you have sex (alone or with partners), then go the OnlyFans/JustForFans route and collect money for creating content. But if the idea is that you want people to hire you as an escort then you should be willing to provide whatever information those people need to make a decision. If it's a nuisance to respond to people's requests to access your private photos, you can simply either just have sufficient photos available for public view so there are no private photos or post the code in your ad if you want to continue to have private photos. I just think that potentially turning business away by going the route of paying to simply view photos wouldn't be good for providers in the long run.

Do some clients have some sociopathic tendencies? I'm sure some do. I am good friends with one escort and what he had to deal with regarding one former client was beyond the pale. I don't think either example you posted is close to sociopathic, though. I don't want to excuse lying, but if you are going to label a sociopath everyone who lies occasionally -- especially in attempt to hide something they'd rather not be known by others -- then there are probably more sociopaths than not. Your second example is just someone being insensitive to someone else's feelings. Either he wasn't thinking about the potential impact of what he was saying or he assumed that since you are an escort and not a boyfriend/lover that you wouldn't be hurt or bothered by his sharing information about an encounter with another guy but that rather you might get a kick out of hearing about it. I seldom hire any more but when I did and regularly saw someone, I definitely told him about many of my other positive experiences with escorts. I certainly knew that he saw many other clients and I don't think he had any expectation that he should be the only escort I saw.

I'd like Antonidel to be genuine. Wowsa!

Even neurologists are human, too. They have specialized knowledge and training, but that doesn't make them better people. I agree with you that arrogance isn't an attractive feature, regardless of someone's status or looks or whatever.

I wonder if the photos in the ad have changed since you posted that. I wouldn't say that the photos in the ad now appear to have been taken over the period of 15 years or more; they all look more or less contemporaneous to me.

Whenever I come across new ads with incredibly hot photos like these, my suspicion is also engaged. I couldn't find anything by doing a reverse image search on Keylor, but Palbodelarosa's photos come from the Instagram page of someone named carlitos_777_, who also has an OnlyFans page using the name name. Maybe you can message carlitos_777_ to see if he's visiting San Francisco and using the name Pablo.

I assumed bringing dogs into grocery stores wasn't just a San Francisco thing. It's amazing to me that people feel so entitled to bring their dogs with them everywhere now. I think that as recently as 10 years ago you wouldn't see anyone bringing a dog into a grocery store unless it was a service dog, but now everyone under the sun seems to think that their affection for their pet makes that pet an "emotional support dog" and therefore exempt from food safety laws. While I blame the stores for their lax enforcement, where I live they have a much bigger problem simply keeping out the repeat shoplifters so I'm sure that store management simply feels like posting signs on the doors saying "only service animals allowed; no pets" is the most they can do.

He's not my cup of tea, either, but I am a bit saddened at the body and age shaming here. I am guessing that this guy is trying to sell an image of a dominant daddy type. He might have takers or might not, but I'm not going to insult him for trying. I have met some attractive younger men who are into the dominant daddy type and who are more focused on interpersonal dynamics than looks.

Olympic level gymnasts? That is indeed a high bar to reach. While I understand your point, I think it's possible to have a "gymnast's build" without reaching the pinnacle of success like these men.

His ad is active again and he is visiting San Francisco now. Googling his phone number, I see he also advertises on Rentmen as Bravo_XL. Still no feedback on him?

To your last point, I don't see why anyone's panties are getting in a bunch. So little was divulged about this client that there is no way anyone other than the client and masseur would be able to read this thread and identify who it's about. There isn't anything remotely identifying posted here, and this certainly isn't the first time an escort or masseur asked for public feedback about how to handle a client situation.
