It’s appalling to me that people are still hooking up with such frequency, but my friends and I are seeing it happen every day in both the straight and gay communities. People are off work or working from home and have the free time to do it. They rationalize it by saying I don’t have the virus, you don’t have the virus, so it’s okay for us to get together. And it’s not even taboo that people are hooking up: they’re bragging to me about it.
 
In order to mitigate their risk of contracting the virus, people are having sex outside or having sex doggie style and avoiding the missionary position and kissing. I wish I were joking.

But you’re grandfathered in if your profile is already longer. Anyways the correct answer to the short profile is as follows: then make a video or yourself doing something silly, have some shot and tie pictures and a picture of you showcasing your wide array of artistic and literary interests, don’t forget Broadway/symphony/opera/hgtv, put them all in your photo backgrounds then say:
 
“I love kissing: I’m a very fun honest passionate & dominant assertive but not aggressive top who loves kissing, oral & muscle worship, but definitely kissing. I’m sincere when I say my goal for every session is to make the experience as comfortable & enjoyable as possible.
 
 
Communication is a huge part of what I do, if there is anything before or during your session that would make the experience more enjoyable, please don't hesitate to speak up. I do like to get a feel for what my clients are interested in prior to meeting, don't be shy & feel free to get a hold of me to discuss your dream session.”

There’s obviously a huge advantage to posting here, being “discovered”, and having threads and PMs of the people who want to hire you just appear. As we are an internet community, it’s likely people here will primarily hire via the internet. However, there is a method of high-class hustling to pick up clients in public locales. All the skills you need to do it— confidence, charm, wit, looks, etc.—you undoubtedly already have. I had a female escort friend teach me a few tricks as well.
 
The most common way is to appear as a Gogo boy, do you’re stage appearance, then go out into the audience and try to find the people who want to hire you. I have found clients in other non traditional venues, such as museums and gyms and fast food joints, to make a few.
 
There are people who very much want to hire without looking on rentmen. It’s hard work, no doubt. But I have met some of my favorite clients outside of the forum or daddy’s or rentmen. There’s still that thrill of trying to pick up someone up in person that i just don’t get when someone picks me bc they used map clicks, I was the fourth closest away, and their top three choices weren’t available.

Can someone clarify what this change is discussed above?
 
Until a few weeks ago, you could easily have different home and gps locations set up on rentmen by selecting a new gps location and then navigating away from the page without saving, effectively allowing you to advertise easily in eight cities 6 travel plus home plus gps instead of seven. Alas, that software bug has been eliminated. Still, as of now, I can certainly pretend to be wherever I want on the maps feature without actually being there.

It’s a small data set of information to work with, but Men4porn has rates published if you want more info on pricing in a particular market.

The don’t haggle mentality is a forum poster mentality, not a general hirer mentality. One of the people I see most often “haggles” every time in the sense that we negotiate my rate. I could care less.
 
4, enumerate the list of providers providing xxx and xyy assuming the providers are amenable to that info being disclosed. If you don’t give numbers right off the bat, it’s too much effort for providers to invest time negotiating downwards. Give your best and final from the getgo. Concomitantly provide creative non-monetary compensation to offset the difference between your budget rate and the provider’s standard rate.

Allow me to “weigh” in on this subject since someone tagged me above.
 
You’re meeting the wrong people.
 
First, there is very compelling business case for diversity in learning to excel with all types of clients. Second, it makes the work a lot more enjoyable. Third, I’ve faced plenty of rejection in various avenues of my life and know how painful it is. So many people have told me I’m not good enough to do x, y, or z, and I’ve just had to push past that to find the people who disagree with them. And half the reason I look like I do is driven by my own physical insecurity about how I look. It’s not like people who don’t like you are battling their own insecurities.
 
There are plenty of people who will reject you in life. Find the ones who won’t. Find the people who understand that providers and clients are more like alike than they are different.
 
I agree with everyone above that having information about yourself publicly visible on your profile or disclosed in first contact will help you find the best matches for you. @Epigonos gives good advice. There’s already so much information asymmetry in the initial meeting between providers and clients that any additional info you can provide is helpful.

I was under the impression that descovy was going to be approved pretty soon for prep for cisgender men. I thought data implied that it was superior to truvada for prep, with equal efficacy but fewer side effects. Am not so sure after reading this. Thoughts?

A half hour appointment is fully consistent with the Mike Gaite brand. I’ve had plenty of half-hour appointments, so I don’t actually see why this is a silly question. Sometimes, I only have a half-hour time window to entertain company, so I only take 30 minute appointments. It’s fine if other sophisticated providers want to build 90 or 120 minute minimums into their appointment structures. That’s not my modus operandi.
 
In fact, I’ve done appointments shorter than 30 minutes. I’ve had a queue of clients lining up for five or ten minute sessions without feeling sleazy about it. Of course such things have happened in the back rooms when I’ve danced/appeared in bars or done private parties. I understand the limitations of those short experiences, but I’ll do them occasionally for variety. I enjoy the multiweek trips and the five minute appointments and everything in between. The person I’m with matters a lot more to me than the appointment duration.
