adventurous old guy

It's absolutely fine if an escort can't connect with a client, but It's not fine that an escort agrees to everything before the appointment and enthusiastically says "I'm into whatever you like to make you happy" and then come time he then says everything is conditional - and then expect full payment upfront.
 
He uses talking as a way to burn time. I would gesture that I was ready to get to business and then he'd keep talking and then give consent to move on with ten minutes left on the clock. There’s much better and plenty of providers out there that don’t waste any time and work their magic for the full hour. He’s just not one of them.

I saw him a couple years ago. Handsome, well built, exotic looking guy. We did not click at all. Very self-absorbed at the time, maybe he's matured by now.

No worries, Steven. Good luck to you.

Love this dashboard! Can you update daily, lol?

Really enjoying this thread, and MidwestCoastal's post in particular. As a hardwired top, my pleasure as a client also is optimized "physically and mentally" when I can see that the provider is enjoying the experience. It can be tricky setting expectations with someone new over text. I totally agree that one should try, but there's variation in communication styles and comfort among providers about discussing specifics. I try to set the tone by texting the potential date to tell me what he really enjoys and what he really doesn't, because my goal is to make sure we both enjoy ourselves, and then see what he says. Another approach that has worked well for me, even though its old school, is to suggest an actual pre-meeting phone conversation. Another basic approach is just to reserve time at the beginning of a session to break the ice and get to know somebody a bit, exploring again what they like and what they don't. I usually text about an hour before the appt that I'm going to have a glass of wine when we meet and ask if I can order them something.
 
And then you just have to be resilient and play it by ear. One person who ended up being a great (and repeat) hire for me became worried by the specifics I was teeing up in our texts that I was law enforcement. Also, he didn't want to do a phone call, I think because his English language skills were very basic. For our first date, he asked that I meet him outside my hotel to check me out in person because of that concern. I did that, passed that test, and we chatted a bit upstairs too, but language was still a challenge. This guy is almost always hired as a top, and we just had to try things to figure out our own win/win. All that took time, and when we started to go over the planned time I reminded him of that. He grinned and said "yes, but we were much time talking, besides I'm not ready to go." Ding ding ding, mental payoff as well as physical lol!
 
When I look back, I honestly can say that I've learned a lot from these conversations about what my partner enjoys that has made me a better top. Plus, I'm with Midwest Coastal again in saying that I love talking about sex, and its totally interesting to me how what someone likes varies so much from man to man.

Adding Paddy to my list, especially after seeing the vid of Michael Lucan plowing him six ways to Sunday, with Paddy obviously enjoying every inch!

Paddy O'Brian for me!

You're not alone. The architectural inspiration for that hotel was being inside the body of a whale, which I l always thought was kind of cool. Unfortunately, it seems to have in some way fostered suicide, or maybe enabled it for people so inclined. You know that impulse some of us have when we're on the edge of a roof to jump off? Well, people did at the Marriott Marquis and others like the one that had the same design. More here: https://nymag.com/news/features/46811/
 
For me, the MM will always be linked to memories of the Gaiety, just a block or so away.

My list is modest compared to others here. The only porn star I knowingly hired was Mitch Branson - thought he was the most beautiful man in porn at the time, and he couldn't have been nicer, but we had zero chemistry. In contrast, Max Grand -- GREAT chemistry, hired from a faceless ad in the Washington Blade, and recognized him only when he stepped out of the cab. Peak experience. Had a really nice time long ago with Jake Deckard, before he was a star. Pretty sure I was one of his first clients, based on our convo post-squirting. Same more recently with Colby Tucker (several times) and Alexander Latin, both before they were doing films, both into it, delivering terrific experiences. Had Adam Adonis too -- before he got into porn and before he decided he was a top. Wouldn't repeat. So some memorable times, though overall I've had better connections and hotter experiences with guys who weren't in the movies.
 
The guy I missed and totally regret missing was D.O. Had a date, then had to reschedule and we just couldn't make alternate times work. Tragic, because I had a elegant old hotel room in London with a 4 poster bed in which he would have looked dreamy naked on all fours lol. Alas...

Well, that‘s probably fair. And I would also point out that clients are extending the same level of trust to providers. I’m sure any person with a long track record of hiring has stories of providers who no-show, who aren’t who they advertised to be, who arrive under the influence, etc. (Even providers who are well-reviewed here.) Trust is a two-way street.
 
I know certain providers require a phone conversation with clients ahead of time. I’ve always thought this is a good idea, and am surprised more don’t practice this. This can help to build trust between the two of you, while not being so off-putting and risky as demanding payment up front.

Perhaps I've spent too much time in my home office, but I actually laughed out loud when I saw this ad posted in Chicago RM. This guy is the opposite of anyone I'd ever consider hiring,

Just sharing amusement. And no offense -- or judgment -- intended for those who might find this hot. Everyone has their someone, yes?

Overall his ad is a turn off (read his “interview” responses).

I remember you mentioning Roselli on an earlier thread, and being so jealous that you'd met him. Still am! One of the most beautiful men I've ever seen on film. Alas , living vicariously is my new normal now...c'est la vie.

RJD is totally right and big-n-tall when saying '' unless he paid for both in advance and can’t be refunded for one''. The ad was supposed to be up for two months, but they might have charged for another month since I did not cancel it before the date they collect the payment. No intention of payment $79.99 monthly for 2 different accounts LOL. Just to clarify! Thanks guys!

One of my absolute favorites was pietro Roselli from the european lucas films back in the early 2000s..so freaking HOT!! Oddly that he bears a striking resemble to scholar/italian model/professor Pietro Boselli... We traveled a bit back then and he was ABSOLUTELY insane in bed..from Argentina and half Argentine and half Italian ..I miss him as he has retired as he has to be late 40s now

This thread made me smile. I usually ask as a prelim if there is something that is a turnoff for a service provider I'm meeting for the first time. There was a muscle boy who used to advertise in the DC/Baltimore area who let me know that he hated to have his hair touched, which I thought was odd but kind of a cute response. Turned out he was a hairdresser by day who spent a lot of time putting his do together and had recently done hair plugs. Two takeaways: 1) Always ask, you never know what matters to people; and 2) this guy turned out to be controlling about several specifics that he didn't mention during the prelims, so the hair thing was an early indicator of overall personality. Not a great meeting, though I did get advice on hair product! ?

If I were hiring, well... I've got a crush on Marc Dylan. ?

Btw, another guy I can recommend in Chicago now is Mathianis: https://rentmen.eu/mathianis/#platinum Have seen him 3 times, two really strong performances, one not so much (think he'd been partying). He's built and beautiful.
 
Have also noticed that we have regular visitors now, maybe because Covid is relatively under control. They include AlexVolkov (https://rentmen.eu/AlexVolkovXXX) and Max Berg (https://rentmen.eu/Maxbergx). I'd do Max in a minute too. So, more reasons to like Chicago!, amidst the chaos!
