adventurous old guy

Have a session scheduled with Julian this week. Bumping for any recent experiences, anyone? Great pre-meeting communication btw.

Thanks for posting comments like this. They're helpful in sorting out the service oriented from the sometimes service oriented sometimes flaky, and I appreciate that.

Even though I'm the OP here, I totally agree with you. My guess is that he's a guy who's looking to take advantage. I think he's posted before in DC under a different name and has a bad track record.

https://rentmen.eu/TommyGunnn Pics caught my eye. They look familiar, but can't place where I've seen them. Haven't found anything searching for Tommy Gunnn (with 3n spelling anyway).

Interesting that his RM ad lists him as both Gay and Top. Based on his film work, I think of him as neither, lol.

I know!!! I can't fathom it either, which is why that conversation with him was so interesting. And by interesting, I mean a mini-mindfuck. Because what he was saying sounded so alien to my frame of reference, but from his it might make a lot of sense. So long as being bottom feels good for him, he's got a point: Being the bottom IS the easier work, lol.

As a consultant myself, I have to say he's clear about his market value. I bet he'll get $700+ takers given how famous he is.

Got it. Sage advice.

wow

Had an interesting experience with Rich a couple of years ago. My plane was late, and I was right on top of our appt when I got to hotel. Hadn't eaten anything so after our fun, I was famished and invited him to join me at the hotel bar for food. He WAS a good bottom (came while being nailed), and in our subsequent conversation he connected that to being straight. To paraphrase, he told me it felt good and it was easy for him to deliver that experience. He may also be a good top -- I wouldn't know -- but thought that perspective on it being easy to be a bottom was intriguing, counter-intuitive for me. BTW, I echo the comments about him being a really interesting guy with a full life. Has a background in extreme sports, into motorcycles and cars, seems like an adventurous thrill-seeker in general, zero interest in a conventional career or life.

Oh wow, thx BluDay. RugbyPlayer is the guy I was warned about it, then I found these threads: https://m4m-forum.org/threads/411-on-rugbyplayer.129935/ and https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/411-on-rugby-player-davi-in-florida.142859/ But that's the extent of my knowledge, which actually isn't knowledge, rather hearsay! No real experience here and I shouldn't have defamed. I totally defer to you and others who have met him recently.

Beware Will Robinson. I'm drawing a complete blank on his earlier names, but he's advertised for years using some of those same pictures. I got warned that he looks nothing like his pictures. He's Canadian, comes to Chicago often. Hope someone else recognizes pics and can help connect the dots here.

He wasn't in January. Ad said yes, he said yes via text, but in the moment no. And don't think it was just me. But I still had a very nice time, and he didn't overcharge for what he offered, which is -- or at least was then -- massage at the erotic end of the scale.

Off the list! Thx again. What would I do without you!

Here's the guy on my list. https://rentmen.eu/TommyHarley Haven't met him yet, but he's accumulating some good RM reviews. Don't trust those, but they're an indicator. Plus, I like the way Tommy's ad copy clearly communicates his preference to bottom.

Reinforcing with repetition... Is it bad form to quote myself, lol?

OMG, thx MscleL. Hadn't seen that thread, which is chock full of intel! And goes a long way toward explaining the mixed reviews, which Bernardo also has. Appreciate it. I'm not going to take the chance on either of these guys.

Any experience? https://rentmen.eu/Tony_Castellari/#platinum New ad in DC today, have seen him advertise in London and elsewhere. 4 reviews on RM -- 2 4 star, 2 1 star. Unusual in that RM has actually posted the negative reviews instead of burying them. Anyway, curious if anyone has intel on why his clients either love him or hate him. Thx.

To make this work on Safari, I follow AZDR's path but also have to click the "more options" box, then make sure all boxes in the dropdown menu are checked.

And his best bottom scene IMHO was with Kurtis Wolfe, though the Musclematt one was hot too.

Don't think we're going to agree here. So, getting back on track... Alex the OP, I'm sorry you had that experience. As you can see, many here empathize. And I think you've earned some new friends and admirers. Let's all go out today and treat others the way we'd like to be treated.

In making that comment I am trying to understand behavior that is disrespectful and causes distress. When he didn't show, my first thought was "OMG, something bad must have happened to him." That worry intensified when he didn't respond to two texts asking if he was OK. He was back online the next day so whatever happened he survived and made the decision not to return the texts of someone worried about him. So I respectfully disagree -- there are not "tons of reasons" that explain treating people badly, more like three or four. In wondering why people do such things, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that it might be a behavioral health or substance use issue. Because the alternative is that he's a rude jerk or, just maybe, too ashamed of an isolated episode of disrespectful behavior to have the wherewithal to text an apology. Bottom line, It's not a "flying leap" at all to think there is something else going on with people who abruptly cut off all communication. At least, that's what I think.

Right, you can't review no shows. One more value of this site is that we can share the stories and names here. Did I mention that this was my no show: https://rentmen.eu/dcstud And it was the same story. Texting exchange up to 30 min before date time, then...nothing. Drugs or ADD?

Alex, I too am sorry this happened to you. It kind of makes all clients who have had to cancel for one reason or another look bad. If you do go this route, I hope you'll develop a cancellation policy. I travel a lot and have had to cancel a couple times on the same day because of delayed or missed flights. Once I cancelled an hour before because I was with a client of my own who was very upset over his divorce and I just couldn't leave him alone. I paid in all those same day cancellation instances because I didn't want to screw the service provider. Consultant here so I empathize -- time is money for me too. I've also had to cancel a day a day or two in advance because of changes in my work schedule. I don't feel obligated to pay in those situations because it feels like "fair" notice, but that's fuzzy. In all but one of those situations, there was understanding, a rebooking and a larger than usual tip from me. But one guy got pissed because he said he'd lost business. I paid then too, but didn't rebook because it didn't really seem quite fair. Also, I didn't quite believe him. Anyway, I guess my bottom line request to you and others is for more clarity about acceptable notice timeframes. One last word about the two way street -- no shows are the worst, the ultimate "fuck you." I don't care if your mother died that morning, there's no excuse for just blowing someone off. I've never done it, but have been on the receiving end twice, once very recently. It was this guy: https://rentmen.eu/dcstud. Buyer beware.

Or are they providers who offer both but, as Terp suggests, want to reserve the option to decide?
