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.

I never reply to people who contact me from out of the area on A4A, and it happens with some regularity when I am logging in frequently. I assume that most of the contacts are potential scams (most likely, "I am a lonely gay guy in a remote area just looking for love and wonder if you will send me money so I can come be with you?"), but even if some of them are legitimate I'm not particularly motivated to develop pen pals at this stage in life. Interestingly, if I let messages sit in my inbox for a few days the members who sent them are frequently banned from the site. I doubt that would be happening to someone actually just looking for love or sex.

Ridiculous. No, don't give him a refund. If he's truly allergic to something that might be in a massage oil or lotion and knew that in advance, then he surely would have addressed that issue prior to the massage, not afterwards. And if he didn't know he had an allergy, then it isn't your fault that he ended up having a bad reaction to something in the product you used. I got lice once from a masseur who apparently didn't use fresh sheets to cover his table. I alerted him that I thought I got lice from him just so he could correct his hygiene habits, but I did not ask for nor expect a refund or any other form of compensation.

She shouldn't have offered any statement to begin with since Michael Jackson's conduct (or alleged conduct) had nothing to do with her. One of my favorite statements from a famous musician (it was many years ago so I cannot recall if it was Rickie Lee Jones, but I think it was) was something along the lines of, "I don't talk about other people," when asked an obviously leading question about another musician. Why Barbra thought she had to give any opinion at all about Michael Jackson is beyond me, but what she did say initially was quite dismissive, even if she didn't intend it that way.

Seems like a scam to me. Let's take the lender at face value and assume that they developed this business practice of "proving" a borrower's creditworthiness by first lending a small amount of money which needs to be fully repaid by a prepaid Visa card. How would that, in fact, prove anything about a borrower's ability to repay a larger loan? Any borrower could surely repay a loan with funds already lent in order to get a larger loan. Then the larger loan is given and the borrower struggles to make regular payments because he doesn't have the proceeds of the loan for repayment -- he borrowed the money to pay other bills or to buy something. Because this doesn't pass the smell test, I assume it's a scam. And, as others have pointed out, one of the long-standing money scams is to get people to accept some money and return some in exchange. You send the scammer actual money and they send you a bad check. If you are in a fragile financial situation, I'd suggest contacting a consumer credit counseling agency. I think they offer at least some services free of charge.

The photos are on the Instagram page of a fitness coach/model in Los Angeles. I'm not necessarily saying that the ad is fake, but if I were inclined to hire him I might reach out instead to that model to ask if he's moonlighting in the Bay Area rather than call the phone number in the ad. If the photos were, in fact, stolen then this is yet another example of why Rentmen lacks credibility for me. It took me less than a minute to use Google Image Search to determine the photos are elsewhere on the web. Is it really asking too much that Rentmen would put a little effort into photo verification? Because of the number of obvious scammers over the years on Rentmen, I treat every new ad with a gorgeous man with a large dose of skepticism until reviews/posts outside of Rentmen are available confirming that the man in the photos is the man running the ad.

I don't see any "winner" in this scenario. You will piss off at least some of your friends once they realize that their fantasy man was only expressing interest because he was paid to do so. Even if no one figures out what's going on while the party is in full swing, they will surely figure it out later. Don't play with other people's emotions.

A. It seems like some sort of scam to me, or at least someone who just likes to waste people's time on line. B. He obviously cannot receive clear communication, so what sort of friend or partner could he make anyway? You very explicitly told him "no thanks" but then he proceeded to send you a long email that details how wonderful of a partner he would be. My general rule of thumb is I don't even reply to people online on dating/hookup websites unless they are local, and I've seen very similar messages to the one you posted many times. I assume that if I responded it would quickly turn to some sort of scam along the lines of, "Can you lend me a little money to help my relocation since I'm so in love with you even though we've ever met?" or some such garbage.

Most of the text reviews on RentMen area favorable, but one person said he was just rushing through the session.

Discussed here under his escort name Karimxxl: https://m4m-forum.org/threads/karim-now-in-dc.140452/

Yes, because if that person didn't share a famous person's name then the name wouldn't be in the headline. Notice that the headline doesn't feature the name of the actual killer?

I didn't draw conclusions, just giving my reactions. His amateur videos speak for themselves. If you want to pick a fight, look elsewhere. I'm not big on people trolling me online. If you persist, I'll just withdraw from the conversation so you might have the feeling that you've "won" but instead it's just a sign that I am not interested in playing your game.

That's true, but I think all of Rafael's bb content has been in self-produced movies (OnlyFans/JustForFans), so I assume he and those scene partners didn't have any sort of safety protocols beyond perhaps asking each other about their latest STD test results. I'll admit I'm a bit obsessed with Rafael, too. Such a sexy man with the right amount of edge. That's why I've watched his amateur videos several times. Some have condoms. Some have some condom and some bb action combined. Some are entirely bb. Given the conversations in some of them, it appears that some of the other guys are either hookups or maybe even guys who hired him who just happen to be sexy themselves and consented to filming. I'm just speculating on the latter since in at least one video it seemed like the conversation had an air of the guy feeling like he was treating himself to something special, like a client might feel when he hires an escort he's long lusted for. Obviously some of his amateur scene partners have been other porn stars as well.
