What's with the aggressive stance towards me?

Thanks for this. I just searched for a photo on Rentmen and it initially showed me the Rentmen page as a match. When I clicked "Find Image Source," Google took me to a Facebook page where that same image was used a couple of years ago. It makes no sense to me why this doesn't work when right clicking the image and selecting Search with Google Lens; I searched for the same image that way and just got a bunch of men wearing Speedos but none of them the exact photo I searched. Ostensibly they are both searching for the same photo with the same Google program, but the method you describe works and the right click method doesn't even find the image on the source page. Unfortunately the working method only seems to be available to the main photo in an ad on Rentmen, since it's possible to grab that image address. Once in someone's ad looking at all of their photos, I don't see a way to grab the image URL for the other images. Edit: I found a way to grab the URL for other images. It's a bit cumbersome and I may not describe it such that others can follow it, but if you select the "View Page Source" from the right-click menu the image URLs appear in a list about a third of the way down on that page. This works on rentmen.eu but not rent.men.

I've had the hots for him for a long time, too. I'm not too enamored by the most recent photos in his ad, though. I know this is heresy to some here, but I think he looks too lean in the main photo of his ad.

I know I submitted my first review to the old, old site (Hooboy) in October 2000, so I guess that's when I joined.

A perfect example of someone who is unwilling to put in writing anything he might do sexually. Who knows whether that's due to legal concerns or he simply wants to avoid doing anything sexual with clients, so if anyone hires him and just assumes he'll do what other guys do he can refer them to his ad which doesn't like any preferences or specific activities.

Just to spare others from clicking the link to read mostly nothing but to see a large photo of the alleged perp (something I didn't need to see), the only news is that the prosecution and defense have agreed to another continuance because they are (presumably) still working on a plea deal.

My memory is that there was a relatively brief window when Google Image Search worked very well. By that I mean you could find an escort's ad and then drag a photo to a different tab to search Google Images, or if using Chrome you could right click and search. When the tool was first available, I remember it matching any photo with an erection to things like photos of brooms or vacuum cleaners; obviously not helpful. But soon it was very good at identifying all the sites that that specific photo appeared on. This definitely helped to identify escorts who had simply grabbed someone else's photos for their ads. Unfortunately, for a long time now, I generally find image searching using Google's tools a waste of time. More often than not, it doesn't even find the image on the site where I found it (Rentmen, Rentmasseur). Only rarely do I get meaningful matches. Google Lens seems to do what Google Image Search did in its infancy. I just used it to search for a variety of photos in an escort's ad and got generic search results (e.g., a photo of the guy wearing a leather coat resulted in "matches" of different men wearing similar leather coats). I've never tried the other search tools mentioned here, but next time I want to search I'll try something other than Google's search tool.

That's exactly who I had in mind when making my previous post. His current ad states he's 61 and that doesn't seem to have negatively impacted him based on his positive reputation here.

Why would I want to hire a liar or even treat him to lunch? That isn't the kind of man who appeals to me. If I want to hire someone my age, I'd rather it be someone who's honest about it in their advertising because that conveys self-confidence and an acknowledgement that men can still be hot in their sixties. What does it say about someone who's that age who tries to pass for 39? You're right that I've posted similar things about Jake's extreme age shaving a number of times. It isn't like I'm focused on the issue; I just feel like when his name comes up in a positive light here (or even just as a general inquiry) that forum members who aren't familiar with him should know before hiring him that he's much, much older than he claims. I feel like it's a community service to warn people -- not that people shouldn't hire an escort who's a granddaddy type but that they should do so knowingly.

Yes, the government's allegations are quite disturbing, including prepubescent victims. Maybe the defense attorney is competent (I'm not a lawyer), but I didn't find his arguments compelling (nor did the judge, obviously).

I think this guy tested the waters of claiming to be 40 on a couple of occasions, but then reverted to 39 pretty quickly each time. I get there is ageism and thus I can understand an early 40s shaving his age to still show up in searches when the search results are limited to 39 and under, but when it gets to be decades shaved off one's age it just isn't tenable no matter how good one looks.

Yes, I knew there was a thread about this topic but I felt it only fair to share my observation about the escort being recommended in the other thread just in case anyone read it who did not realize that the guy was significantly older than claimed. I think those of us who have lived in the San Francisco area for a long time (or even visited here regularly) know that his stated age is wildly off, but if someone is new to hiring or new to the area they might have no idea that this 39 year old is actually old enough to be collecting social security.

I would give kudos to him if he had the integrity to be honest about his age...or at least close to honest. Claiming to be the same age for more than two decades is beyond ridiculous. I assume he looks good for a man in his 60s and that he satisfies clients or he wouldn't still be advertising, but I do wonder what happens when new clients meet him and find someone a generation older than his stated age.

I consider it a potentially promising sign that I've recently discovered some young "fitness influencers" on Instagram who have no tattoos. Seems like it's been years since I've seen a young jock who was ink free, so I'm taking this as a promising sign.

I actually prefer smooth, but if the comeback of hairy chests results in fewer men covering themselves with tattoos there then I'm all for it.

There's little point to this release. I wonder if they are hoping that people will impulse buy this without realizing that it isn't mixed like the original On The Radio. This really is not much different than previous hits compilations that combined her '70s and '80s hits.

This is the current text of his ad: "Hello, I’m masculine, clean, kind, educated and polite individual. 🌟 24/7 In/Outcall⭐️ I am Straight I was born to be a Master or obey I like to be worshiped and play with by both woman and boys I fuck woman but i still like to own and totally control submissive male slaves WhatsApp or text" Ignoring the parts that don't make sense, I'm struggling to find what's supposed to appeal to men in this ad unless you want to be "controlled" by a straight guy who won't fuck you.

There are so many handsome actors that I cannot imagine just picking 3 or 5. For whatever reason, provocative photos of Tom Holland keep showing up on my social media feeds. I don't mind. And I still have a thing for Ryan Reynolds, two decades after I first saw him. Same for Matt Bomer.

I have a photo (or multiple photos) of almost everyone I've hired over the decades, with the earliest ones being the exceptions since some of them were pre-internet. My memory is still pretty good so for the guys who were above average, I have no difficulty remembering sufficient details of my encounters with them. (Not dates or rates as much as what specifically I enjoyed about being with them.) I also keep track of all of my expenses so all of my hires are accounted for on those spreadsheets going back several years. (Before that I used to just use little notebooks to write down expenses as I incurred them.) I've also kept track on a monthly basis of how much I spent that month on escorts. When I hired more frequently, that helped me keep my hiring in line with my budget.

Assuming the OP is serious, I would suggest this: Spend your money instead on some therapy to help you figure out why you're not just getting sex with hot guys for free, given that you claim to be as hot as the guys you are hiring. Fortunately I never went overboard on my hiring, but I'm aware that some people do that. I think it's like any other luxury expense in life: it's fun to indulge on occasion, but it's important to set and maintain a budget you can afford. Going into debt to hire masseurs who give you extra attention just doesn't make sense to me.

There's someone in San Francisco whose stated age has been 39 for over two decades, also using at least some of the same photos. Yet when his name has been mentioned here as someone who drastically shaves decades off his age, a few defenders (friends or regular clients, I presume) jump in to say it doesn't matter and that he still looks great. It misses the point: A great looking man who's 65 isn't going to look the same as he did at 40, regardless of fitness level. I cannot imagine being a new client and showing up expecting a 39-year-old man only to find someone even older than I am (63). I'm not saying he should no longer be working as an escort or that he doesn't look good; I just think that if someone wants to continue to work for decades he should either be honest about his age in his advertising or just remove the age altogether.

I was not referring to the models in Jeffries' case specifically, just that sometimes a model/actor does have the ability to say "no" and leave (they aren't being forced or threatened and they haven't had their judgment impaired with some sort of substance) and if they choose to go along with sexual activity because they believe it will help their career that is quite a different thing than rape.

Quite a difference between saying "they had it coming" and "they had no choice." I don't think anyone "has it coming." It is possible to say no, though, unless you are truly being coerced or forced. I've watched some videos of some not very successful male models (they got some work but never broke through to work for a major fashion house) who spoke about photographers who tried to get hands-y with them and how they had to set firm boundaries despite knowing that it could potentially negatively impact their career.

I've seen similar tattoos on a lot of men and never associated them with sex work (either a provider or client). Is it just that specific design that's supposedly an indicator of sex work?

Rentmasseur removing negative reviews likely has nothing to do with what's going on in the USA regarding regulating online reviews. If that action had anything to do with the FTC's guidelines, then RM would be removing positive reviews as suspect, not negative reviews, if they seemed like they were either "bought" by the masseur (i.e., he gave a free massage in exchange for getting a positive review) or written by someone who had not even hired the masseur.
