More than a few, less than a horde. Let's say about a 15% pass-out rate? PS -- after about 4 years of hiring and having a lot of great times, I've been on a horrible unlucky streak for a while, so maybe it's me.

I don't do drugs. I also don't judge. Except -- within the last year 4 hires have gone into some kind of drug-induced hole and passed out in bed. Sometimes at very awkward moments. One guy was so out of it -- incomprehensible, could not sit up in bed -- I wound up knocking on his roommate's door (yet another bit of awkwardness I didn't know until I got there) to take care of him. So, any RM post that includes PNP in the blurb is a non-starter. I also generally pass up those who have PNP in their "I am into" laundry list. But that means I pass up a lot of guys who otherwise really interest me. And, if every escort who lists PNP actually uses, well, that's kinda scary percentage-wise. Anyways, from your experience/knowledge of your peers, is PNP just a regular check-off escorts hit as they zoom down the list? Guys who take clients who are into PNP but don't use themselves? Or, should I continue to avoid. One obvious answer is "ask them". But, like asking about health, you can't rely on everyone to give you a straight answer and have to protect yourself. (And, one of my four was a guy I raised the issue with prior. He made a bit of a deal about "Good, I'm not into that either.") All opinions welcome. Thanks.

I like that. But, based on something I saw on the street the other day, I'd have to go with Ferret on a Leash. Probably `80s New Wave.

This. Times Infinity.

I know that the OP asked that this stick to clients and not escorts, but this made me chuckle and compelled me to respond. Tuesday I made arrangements with a guy in my town. I've had some bad luck hiring new escorts lately, but figured I might break my unlucky streak as I'd once hired this guy's partner and had an amazing time. He lives about 3 miles from my place, but said that since I was a first-time client, I'd need to send him an Uber to weed out flakes. I told him fine, and I usually offer an Uber anyway. He explained some more that he finds this reduces the number of flakes he gets. OK by me. Sent him a text immediately after our call (around noon) to tell him where I was staying and told him to send me time and address for the Uber. **crickets** Texted him again a half-hour before our scheduled appointment to ask if he was ready for the Uber and where I should send it. **more crickets** About 15 minutes after our agreed-on start time, I sent him a (very polite) text telling him I was making other plans. Never heard a word back. It was my fourth no-show in about four years of hiring, which I figure is a pretty good batting average. But, I always get worried that something might have happened to the guy. First no-show I ever had, the guy blew out his knee in dance class that afternoon and slept through the appointment in a pharmaceutical haze. He actually sent me pics of his swollen knee and the prescription painkiller bottle filled that day So, I was a tiny bit concerned. However, Uber dude checked his RM account an hour after our start time and an hour later his "Available Now" light was back on. The no-show? Annoying, waste of an evening and a perfectly good Viagra. But, that's the cost of business of being a client. But, the gall after explaining in detail that Uber weeds out flakes -- priceless. Now, based on a string of recent experiences, I'm off to go start the "The Climate is Changing (Escorts)" thread @hypothetically -- I was highly suspicious that you were my guy until you said you were in NYC

@orangecactus -- 5'9"?? He advertises as 6'0". Escorts can be forgiven a lot of exaggerations, but, for me, not that.

RM won't take no-show reviews either. This. Twice I've had to cancel on short notice as well, illness and family emergency. It's an occasional part of doing business on either end of the transaction. (Both guys were incredibly understanding. I rebooked with both. Both were awesome.)

@MaxSargent -- we spent a couple of hours together a while back -- besides skillz, you came across as a really good, genuine guy. I think that's reflected to some degree in your apology. However, you crossed a line that IMHO can never be crossed. Posting a photo or personal information in a public forum, especially one as pervasive as Twitter, simply destroys any trust one might have in that particular escort or their colleagues generally. That bell can never be unrung. We have no idea what an escort who is prone to post uses as his criteria to disclose client information. The only thing we can do to protect ourselves is stay very far away. Personally, I've had negative (and sometimes really bad) experiences with escorts, but don't post negative reviews out of concern of retaliation from a guy who at least has my first name and phone number. Professionally, I also freelance and (thankfully) frequently deal with new clients/potential clients. Flakes or knobheads trying to exploit my skills without ever intending to sign up or pay are, sadly but simply, a cost of doing business. There are ways to communicate bad actors to your colleagues without undermining trust in you or in your profession. I'm glad you seem to have grown from this. But, I could never think of engaging your services again. I wish you well.

https://rent.men/EthanGrande Any scoop? Dayum hot, very responsive and respectful via text. I'm on a real bad streak with escorts recently, so I'm guy shy on newbies, but I may not be able to resist. Help! Thanks, Wham

Bumping. Anyone taken one (or him) for the team?

Anybody else have any scoop? His "interests" are a bit puzzling. Lists fisting but not anal? I'm more a BFE guy, not solely muscle worship, which is what the sole review kinda sounds like. Any info appreciated. Thanks! Wham

Funny, my finger was hovering over my cell keypad and just decided to check here first. I may take the dive. One odd thing, though . . . I regularly troll the NYC listings and he hits all my search criteria, but he's never come up in my searches before. Recent transplant to NYC?

Thanks for the links, guys!

Dayum! Anyone ever played with him? https://www.daddysreviews.com/slavic Thanks in advance ETA - don't think the link works. On my cell and a bit of a Luddite. If someone could hook a fella up and post it, I'd be grateful.

OK, so I took the hit for the team. Glad to have done so. Really nice, interesting guy. Excellent skillz. Best kisser ever. Not my thing, but if you like feet, even better. We were pretty vanilla, but I'm led to believe he has a dominant wild side. Go forth. You're welcome. My pleasure.

Well, at least my feelings aren't hurt anymore! Have tried texting a few times, including the last time nicely telling him I was really interested, but to text me back if he wasn't so I didn't waste both our our time. Not a word. Sounds like he's in a rough place, so, who knows, maybe just being contacted by men who want him gives him some pleasure. It's annoying as crap, though.

Bump. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

https://rentmen.eu/DeanThomas Anyone met up with him? Post or PM me with your thoughts, plz! Any other Richmond VA recommendations welcome as well. It's kinda like a desert there. Thanks, Wham

Ditto. Very disappointing experience. Laid on the bed like a dead fish. Saw him in NYC, and he cut us short by 15 minutes because he had to get to Adonis to dance. He seems to blow hot and cold (so to speak).

Sorry to hear that, pineconeka Thanks for taking one (or not getting to take one) for the team.

Shameless bump.

Wow. What a knobhead. OTOH, I somewhat appreciate his being clear in terms of willingness to meet. It's certainly his choice as well as yours. I hate being ghosted and, at least initially, wondering if the guy didn't get my message or is too busy to respond at the moment. (That has about a 72-hour hang time.) Props for that, but totally shitty execution. A short "I don't think we're a good fit" only if you asked for a rematch would have been fine.

This. Frankly, whether or not a guy sends a thank you text holds a lot of sway in deciding whether or not to rehire.

Me too. Best practice, I think. I'll text day before, morning of to confirm. text again when headed over if I'm travelling to him. About 50% of the time, dude will have texted me a confirmation first. Actually, I don't give exact location (address, hotel, room number, whatever) until day of, and most guys I meet don't either. If the guy doesn't respond with at least a "still on" after two or three day-of pings, I send him a text cancelling (only happened once). On cancellations, I've had a couple of last minute ones -- one guy whom I was meeting after Folsom who called and basically said he'd had too many beers and wouldn't be much "fun" (for which I was grateful), and another guy (totally weird) who said he had to cancel because his BF wouldn't let him go unless I hired them both. Took a pass on that one, thanks. Been fairly lucky in terms of very few no shows. Only one where I never heard from the guy again, and one where the guy called me up 5 hours later, told me he'd injured his knee that afternoon (complete with pictures of swollen knee and knee brace) and passed out on pain pills before our appt. Long-winded way of saying -- just check in with him. It will save you time and nerves.

I went to W&M Law 30 years ago. Even then, Wmsburg was a very open, tolerant place that for the most part was very accepting of LGBT folks. Of course, drive 5 miles in any direction from the outskirts of Billyburg and it was a whole 'nother world.
