You might not be as good looking as you think. Or, maybe you are right about looking too "straight" as in too manly. A lot of gays want someone who is pretty, even if masculine. Like the boy next door look.

Told me only massage too. Maybe he does more depending on the person.

Be wary. I saw him nearly 20(!) years ago and he claimed to be 21 at the time. He may have been around 25. The photos look similar to then.
He is easily in his 40s now. It wasn't a terrible experience but not a repeat.

He used to advertise years ago. He's a Russian guy, who looked like his pictures - super built and ripped. Claimed to be straight(ish). He gave a really good therapeutic deep tissue massage. as for release he generally would not do to the client (YMMV) but allowed the client to massage him while releasing themselves.  So it will not be a truly erotic experience but I recommended him as it was a great massage from a very hot guy.

I've seen him a few times and recommend. He's as pictured with a strong therapeutic touch. Very relaxing massage and I always felt like falling asleep with him which I never do.
Not really an "extras" masseur that I know of but allows for the basic MT/HE for the last 10 min.

People of Color have to work harder and for less money than their White brothers and sisters in most professions, not only in escorting. 

I love how some of you think Rentmen gives a shit. 
They aren't the BBB. They're outside of US jurisdiction.  They have zero skin in this game.
There is some good advice here though.  Use every tool you have at your disposal to make sound judgements.
Also, and I know the OP doesn't want to hear this, but if you tread in a highly unregulated industry, don't be shocked when you get involved in unsavory things. 
If you've got a lot to lose- and it sounds like you do- you need to be more careful in the future.

I’m my experience, so much of what “happens” is a matter of the chemistry between masseur and client which can change from day to day and client to client.  I always ask what is included in the rate and don’t expect any thing else. I especially think that it’s important to respect the masseur’s dignity and boundaries.  For the client they are the only masseur they are seeing that day.  For the masseur they may have several of clients, which is hard work and they may not be able to give the same energy to all clients. All of the really good masseurs I have been too want to be respected for being a good masseur not something else.  I know this because i have talked to many (not all) about how they feel and what they hope to get out of the session. It’s instructive to hear their side of this discussion.  Thankful for masseurs on this site who do just that. 

There used to be far more at least if you included Craigslist

Beware of asking this question.
I had a regular that I considered one of the "kindest" people I knew. Then he started on drugs.
Remember - it's all an act. Both providers and client are just acting.

A male stripper interviewed on the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly and he said women hate being exploited but men love it.
There was an attempt to ruffie me, which I escaped from, and being groped and fondled without my consent was neve fun, but I have legit PTSD and anxiety over different reasons.
I like being exploited and watched and violated but only by men I'm attracted to. After being a provider for so long I am very strict with the body types and smells and ages that I like. I have seen and experienced so many that I just won't compromise. I'm traumatized too in the way with how bad clients smell or how fvcking annoying they are. I hate being irritated and cannot stand being around certain people after a certain amount of time. That's after years of tolerating annoying and weird people who just took advantage of my time and kindness. I've traveled overseas with clients, went to the opera, post office, airport, to a catholic mass, and took them to doctors appointments, LOL and just had enough.
Also, constantly talking to clients that are lonely and sad and desperately need affection got fvcking old and cringey and that wasn't what I did, nor wanted to deal with no matter the amount of money. So I have anxiety when I perceive someone as a pity case. Ouch.
I really grieved when I learned that clients of mine died because they were father figures to me. I grieved for years that so many clients were so lonely and sad despite being successful, rich, and good looking and I didn't know how to help them, nor avoid turning out like them.
It sucked too to really enjoy seeing some regular clients over the years and then they drop off the face of the Earth and move on with their husbands, or got too paranoid over the pandemic.  It sucked to learn that I'm into different than a barber or accountant. This is a business and customers will eventually look elsewhere especially because they are males, and us males love variety and fresh meat, mo matter how good the husband/wife/mistress/provider is.  So it su led to really miss some clients that I got to know over the years.
I warn young men who come off as slutty in general to be very careful and take it slow because they will ruin their ability to pairbond and they can never really repair it once they cross that line. 
Someone told me, "you only have a few chances for monogamy. After 100 dicks you can't be monogamous."
A lot of men these days seem to be open to having open relationships but there still are a lot of men that aren't.
So there's a lot of different forms of trauma and different reasons to be traumatized and it's not just rape and assault that can cause it.

I don't advance money anymore. After many experiences I've learned that when a provider has the money before the meet it's like pulling teeth to get them to show. This also applies to personal trainers, masseurs, barbers, etc.

Or maybe your opinions are skewed because your friends are all sluts.
Normal people don't appreciate being offered money for sex.
OnlyFans models may sometimes escort but typically they do online porn as a way to make money WITHOUT escorting...so I don't see this as increasing the supply of willing subjects.
 

I had a gorgeous Australian trainer years ago. One day while he was standing over me I said "I'd pay anything to suck your cock". He winked and said "I need to go to the storage room" I followed him in there and he pushed me to my knees and unloaded down my throat. I've never swallowed such a big load. I think he was truly turned on by me.
( NO.. that didn't happen )
In the real world, most people get offended when you offer them cash for sex.
Don't shit where you eat - Good advice.

I believe he was the hooker entangled in the andrew gullim scandal in the hotel room where intoxication, crystal meth and overdoses were involved.
I hope for his sake he has cleaned up his life and is happy.

He's great and exactly as pictured. A little hard to schedule with because he gets busy.

I saw him too and I highly recommend him. He is as pictured and gives a great massage. He knows his $150 rate is low but he is trying to build clientele.

He's one of the good guys. Not crazy like so many providers we see lately. He might be getting a lot of inquiries but he will get back to you.

Also for a lot of masseurs (or escorts) to look the way you want them to they need to invest significant money into themselves.
Gym memberships, proper nutrition (high protein clean food is expensive especially if bought in a hurry), proper rest (a comfortable clean quiet living space), keeping stress levels low (ability to travel/enjoy life), grooming (waxing, tanning, haircuts), skincare.
So for the hot guys to charge min $200 an hour for MT/HE in a major city I think is fair. Even a therapeutic massage at a spa will be $120 minimum now.

I was mortified when a client came up to me and grabbed me at the Abbey and my friends laughed at me. 
 
If he didn't look like George Washington, and had I actually liked him, and was drunk enough I would not have minded so much.

That’s quite bleak and cynical. Also quite true. Find love elsewhere. 
I’ve seen it with some clients, they mistakenly believe that I’m present in the room with them for reasons other than they’re paying me. Honestly if I reciprocated with those feelings there would be no money involved. If you’re paying him, that’s the only reason he’s there. 

Right.
Right.
It is the job of these men to make you feel this way. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It is your job to pay the bills and not fall for it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Everything else leads to heartbreak.
