Here we go again. Please check the threads @56harrisond referenced. Deposits have been covered many, many, many times before in previous threads, even on threads that are not about deposits. @Phil Wagner check out the search function. That will shortcut you to all the best topics covering what you are asking about here, and you can contribute to those threads as well.
The short answer is: do whatever makes sense for your business. You don’t have to cave to what clients want or expect. If you get enough business from clients who conform to your policies, great. Be upfront with everyone, and when they say no, move on…and please don’t ever complain about not getting enough business as a result of your own business policy decisions.
OR take on clients without deposits at your own risk…and please don’t ever complain about flaky clients you engage as a result of your own business policy decisions.
There is no perfect solution that works for every client or provider. I recognize there is plenty of room for nuance, but I won’t get into it here. The big issue is whether to require deposits or not. How much, and under what circumstances, etc is just details. You choose what works for you and ignore others who insist on their way of doing things.
Either way, choose the best policies for your business and don’t complain. Take the compatible clients, weed out the incompatible clients. If your policies aren’t working out for you, change them, and stick consistently to them. Love long and prosper.

My disappointment at Thermas is described in the Thermas thread.  I like muscle guys and there were many available online (Rentmen, Hunqz and Telechapero).  However, I was disappointed twice by guys with allegedly recent pics who turned out to be not in the shape and condition that had been advertised.  Another Brazilian guy was absolutely gorgeous but demanded the money upfront and stopped all activity after 20 minutes; what a hustler.  His boyfriend no doubt is the same because after I left a negative review on Huqz, he sent me a threatening message.  One guy with stunning pics was simply not reliable (I communicated with them on WhatsApp).  But my fave in Barcelona remains Junior Carioca.  He is ripped, handsome, and focused on your needs.  What a sweetheart.  He saved my trip (twice!).  My lesson: don’t rely on ad pics and be ready to walk out if they aren’t what they advertised or ask for money upfront.  Hope this helps!

So the provider I referenced in my review is a Brazilian whose account is presently expired.  His boyfriend is also Brazilian and well-reviewed (if you trust those reviews, and I wouldn’t).  Both are very muscular and handsome but buyer beware.  Instead, I visit Junior every time I’m in Barcelona.  He get better and better, and he is trustworthy and friendly.  Although his English is rudimentary, sign language works just as well ;0.  I also can now recommend Ryan.  I’ve drooled over his pics and I’m pleased to report that he is even better in person.  He is built everywhere and loves to be worshiped.  He is friendly, respectful and does have some limits but they didn’t prevent my very thorough session.

Heathrow Express is so expensive when you can use the Elizabeth Line

Im new here but I can comment o  some of the escorts I met. Nowadays, most in rentmen charge £200-250.  I am a bottom. So heres a review of some I met.
https://rentmen.eu/AdrianLoganXXX This guy is actually really nice. Hope had more stamina but still satisfying.
https://rentmen.eu/JSevilla -easy to talk friendly. Both the massage and the sex was amazing
https://rentmen.eu/danielvelascos he may not be that tall but he's great in bed. add with massage so more fun
https://rentmen.eu/Brian_London -good looking and I had fun too
https://www.sleepyboy.com/uk/london/escort/HotBod4You - Good looking, super tall hamdsome and the cock on this guy- just wow. Prepare yourself. 
Escorts I hated/didn't like
https://rentmen.eu/Kaikian/#platinum -really tall and hot in person but damn lazy. does not speak english. 
https://rentmen.eu/JacobLDN/#platinum very mechanical like he acts like your a job. 
https://rentmen.eu/Douglas_London/#platinum- only does massage and handjobs you can blow him for an extra
James Carson and Erick Lobo- these two are scammers. James would not show up. While this guy Erick says he does sex but he just made blow him. Too scared to complain since he's a big guy.

I tried to arrange a meeting and I had a very similar experience. Seemed pleasant and responsive at first on WhatsApp but when it came to fixing an appointment time he just stopped responding for no apparent reason. Crossed off my list too

Hi.  The only experience I had with  https://rentmen.eu/RAFAELLXXL  is that he was a no-show, or rather I went to his place, and he didn't answer the door or the phone.  I waited 45 minutes and gave up.  This was after I had a confirmed appointment with him.  I thought something might have happened ( an accident etc) and messaged him again later that day, but he did not respond.  This was about a year ago.
I presume he changed his mind about meeting me but couldn't be bothered to say so. Therefore I crossed him off my list.  Rude and Weird, in my opinion.

Thanks guys for the replies. I ended up hiring him, and although his pictures are very much outdated (I still think they are of him) and he is not as ripped as he probably used to be, I still had the hottest frotting session with him, and he seems to be a really nice guy. I haven't decided yet if I'd hire him again, as I was expecting something else visually.
I also met https://rent.men/LebaneseMan for a body2body massage, and although he has a stunning body and the massage was also great, I don't think I'd hire him again. I prefer escorts who also enjoy what they are doing and who are not doing it only for the money. So I think I'll stick to gay and actual bi escorts in the future.
