Who said anything about doing anything "for nothing?" Perhaps you didn't read his ad well! To me, there's a major difference between charging for one's time for occasional meetings and, "The goal is to find someone who'll make me want to cancel my membership." Perhaps you don't view it as I do, but to me at least, that gives off the vibe that an occasional meeting from time to time (for which he's certainly compensated) won't be that fulfilling to him. THAT one sentence that he placed in the text of the ad (along with, to a much lesser extent, "I just be eating good," is what has prompted me to refrain from responding to his ad at all. I have no idea how you ended up inferring that anyone was expecting a darn thing for free!

I am just curious as to whether anyone has any intel or feedback to provide on BubbleButtDom? https://rentmen.eu/BubbleButtDom His ad surfaces in South Louisiana from time to time. His pics look appealing but the text of his ad doesn’t do much to make a prospective client feel like he is very excited to have meetings that aren’t repetitive and significantly financially rewarding to him (at least that’s my take). That fact, combined with the fact he has no reviews despite being around for quite a while, have caused me not to even initiate contact. Nevertheless, I’m curious as to whether anyone else has because his pics are appealing.

Just a quick note to say I just finished a meet with Boy_Venus (https://rent.men/Boy_Venus). He previously went by ConradElllison. Just wanted to say he's still the same great guy. He's also the only one I'm meeting with at all from New Orleans, which is the market I've always delved into. I continue to be VERY, VERY happy with his professionalism, courtesy, and the fact he provides very rewarding experiences.

Used to be. Though he seems to spend little time there, he has been “based” in Austin, Texas the last couple of years.

Communicated with him today since he will be in Baton Rouge through June 14. He was honest enough to say my interests don’t appeal to him at all, and I replied that I very much appreciated his honesty. His introductory feedback was kind, and he indicated that he could host in Baton Rouge and, with that being the case, he disclosed the rate for his time at $250/hr.

Well, the mystery is solved. Changed his screen name again: we’ll see if this change lasts longer than EchoDot. https://rent.men/Twink_boyFL/#platinum I decided to search the Rent Men site for the words “an 23” and it popped right up.

Pretty bizarre. Now “Echodot” is a client and “Beastq” is nowhere to be found. I typically check every few days because he travels all over everywhere and is never in one place more than about a week, and this is the first time Beastq disappeared since Echodot was created in January (then with the same ad content as Beastq).

Well, so much for “Echodot.” Three days later, back to “Beastq.”: https://rent.men/BeastQ

Changed screen name today: https://rent.men/EchoDot

I just met with him. He could not have possibly been more professional. He was very prompt in his communications, and we met up soon after we first corresponded. He was absolutely fantastic at providing EXACTLY what I was looking for. He's my first hire in three years, and I can assure you we'll be meeting up plenty more as he is a rare find in this market!

Had a similar situation except that the rate was well above market for the city (New Orleans) at the time. Had a great initial encounter, and I planned to see him about every four weeks, whereas I would have seen another escort at the then-prevailing rate about every three weeks. He texted me the next week asking when we could get together again. I told him in about four weeks. He asked why not sooner. I told him that I would be happy to pay his rate but that would mean simply mean we would meet every four weeks. He proceeded to immediately drop his rate 40% (to an amount BELOW) the then-prevailing rate. We met about every two weeks for several years until he returned to his homeland of Thailand. If this guy has run up debt, you may find considerable flexibility over it, and by agreeing to pay it and meet half as often as you once did, he may decide the way to maximize revenue is through more frequent meetings at a lower rate. Just my perspective, but if you’re happy with him, I say pay his rate and set up meetings half as often as you used to. As folk have said, “Supply and demand,” well you certainly have a say-so in just how much demand you have for the services he provides at whatever price he chooses to charge.

Thank you!!! I’d never seen that ad!!

Anybody have any experience with “Fun and Interesting”?: https://www.mintboys.com/male-escorts/new-orleans/5eebc446ce412f3f88b2e060 Has been listed for 3-4 months and, in that time, his locations have included Dallas (where I first saw it), Tampa, San Diego, San Antonio, El Paso, Fort Lauderdale, and now New Orleans. It is a Mintboy ad, and I know those are generally dubious. Don’t know if him being “premium” may offset that fact. Any thoughts or (better yet) experiences?

Given that he got two 5-star reviews on RM yesterday while you endured your frustration, I’d say he just got busy with other prospects and decided you were simply “odd man out.”

Thanks. Wondered how I could have possibly missed such a major post. Answer is easy. Posted in Lounge. Never read the first post there until clicking on the link you supplied. All my focus has been on Deli, Ask, and Fetish.

Title says it all, but here’s the link for the news feature: https://www.towleroad.com/2020/07/male-escort-murder/

Thanks!! You just taught me something new. I’m encouraged by the fact it’s a 504 area code. Maybe he does plan to stay for an extended period (or maybe already resides there and just entered the business). I think he is going to prove a big hit if so.

Just checking to see if anyone may be familiar with Jakemadden of New Orleans: https://rentmen.eu/Jakemadden Says the best way to contact is text, yet the contact information says, "phone not available for this member." Assuming he's legit and intends to stay in New Orleans for a while, he certainly should help fill a HUGE void there!!

Interesting you would mention Thailand. One of my favorite escorts was from Thailand and was in the U. S. attending a South Louisiana University. He was HOT!!!!! We clicked right away, and he became one of my most-frequently hired escorts. Unfortunately, about four years ago (after we'd been meeting regularly about every 3-4 weeks for two years), he informed me that he would be graduating and, unless he could find a way to get around the mandatory requirement that he return to Thailand upon graduation, that would be our last meeting. He was so desperate to remain the U. S. that he proposed that he and I get married (I'm NOT joking) and even referenced the fact we could hook up all the time and he wouldn't charge for the meetings (that's how much he wanted to remain in the U. S.). Marriage was simply not an option on my end, and in speaking with other Asain friends I have here in Louisiana, it would have been deemed a "sham marriage" by immigration authorities anyway and he would have still been forced to return to Thailand. Hence, that final meeting about four years ago was in fact our last meeting, and I'm sure I'll never see him again. Just one more instance of frustration from this hobby, but as I said in my post below, "it is what it is!"

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I guess the bottom line is that, "it is what it is." I think @John makes a great point about the smartphones which I'd never considered. I guess we forget about those days where flip-phones were the norm and texting was essentially nonexistent thus making an actual (God forbid) human voice call the norm for handling ad replies. I have no qualms in texting at all, but I think it has certainly contributed to the "flake factor" and lack of common courtesy as I referenced in the original post entailing Mike Logan. Virtually every escort with whom I met back then was in his early-to-mid 20s, with most pursuing an education of one variety or another. I myself was in my early 40s back then (am 56 today), and I felt there was a common thread in that each party anxiously looked forward to our hookups (I tended to engage in repeat hires until that escort was no longer in the New Orleans market or retired), and I was incredibly happy with the level of professionalism, courtesy, and maturity of the escorts back then. It's near 180-degrees opposite today, which is why I spend very little time even pursuing the hobby any more. I did encounter one notable exception (https://rent.men/BigEasyStud), but as anyone can plainly see, he moved to Oregon. I'm glad many members are finding the current market to their liking because, from my own perspective (and I see that of several others it appears in reading the replies), it is nothing short of an abject disaster. Again, thanks for everyone's feedback!

There have been several posts lately lamented the lack of availability of escorts fitting certain characteristics (e.g. clean shaven, no tattoos, etc.). Accordingly, I thought it might be interesting for the "veteran" clients who've been hiring for quite a while to quantify their long-term assessment of the current escort market regarding fulfilling your criteria (whatever that criteria may be) vs. what the market was 15 years ago by supplying ratings from 1-10 with 1 being abysmal to 10 being phenomenal. I certainly don't mind starting the ball rolling in stating that I share the frustrations of those members who made those recent posts regarding escorts not fitting what I'm looking for. Magnifying that frustration is the fact that, when a rare one surfaces (e.g. Mike Logan, https://rent.men/MikeLogan, on whom I've recently posted), communication, if and when it begins, ceases in no time flat with no explanation for why that's the case. Hence, my ratings follow: 15 Years ago: 9. Elaboration: Back then, I tended to consistently have several ads (even in New Orleans, a notoriously slim market) to choose from, flakes were practically nonexistent, and the meetings I set up, which approximated about a dozen a year, were, with very rare exception, quite fulfilling. Today: 1. Elaboration: I really don't see how it can get much worse, and it's rare that I see an ad in New Orleans, either by a visiting escort or one based there, with whom I would have even the slightest desire to hook up. My last hookup was with a visiting escort based in New York who was Japanese. I had a GREAT time with him, but that's been it for the last THREE YEARS! That's right: One meeting in three years! Anybody else care to weigh in?

Just a brief update. Despite his ad saying the best way to contact is via text, I did send a message through R/M's email system two days ago. He responded within an hour asking when I may wish to hook up. I responded back indicating a time and date but also indicating that, if that time and date didn't work, any day would work on my end and supplied the times I could meet up (from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. or from 8 p.m. until later any evening). I also asked how much longer he may be in NO since his ad states, "visitor in the area only for a short time." The system indicates he saw the email, yet he chose not to make any reply at all. I think that's likely an indication he resides in Texas as per my original theory, and I KNOW it's an indication it's time to cut my minimal losses and move on. Regrettably, moving on is quite difficult to accomplish given that there simply are almost no providers at all anymore with pictures even remotely as appealing as his. Oh well, that development has saved me quite a bit of money over the last several years, so there is at least some upside to the current makeup of the market of providers which I see has been lamented about on several posts of late!

I’ve seen that too, and it wasn’t until a light bulb went off with me that his ad had the same wording for months that prompted me to wonder if maybe he lives in NO. From what I’m told, he lived in Texas much of his life but would relish every opportunity to visit New Orleans that he got and did in fact move there but he didn’t know for how long and he doesn’t have a clue what his current status is. As someone said in a prior post, at least he’s honest about his narrow lists of interests, but if he didn’t feel he could fulfill my own narrow interests, I would figure 99.92% of members of this site wouldn’t pursue a meeting with him given those limitations. That likely may explain the dearth of reviews, but it also begs the question of continuing to pay for an ad that apparently rules out such a vast pool of prospective clients. The one DR he has indicates he was very reserved and seemed “nervous.” Maybe that’s still the case. I just know that his pictures make him a “Franchise Player” for my team worthy of trading away future first-round draft choices to sign, but that doesn’t mean anything if the player has no interest in playing on team. ?

Mine occurred on September 27, 2018 with a Japanese guy whose RentMen screen name was sweetcute. He was adorable beyond words for me, and I had a GREAT time, but he was merely visiting New Orleans and, alas, only 15 months later, his profile no longer even exists on RentMen.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. The only problem with your theory is that, just as he requested, I sent a text message. The same has now transpired for another prospect I opted to pursue upon Mike's lack of response. Here's his ad: https://friendboy.pro/boys/zappos42. Once again, I adhered to his request of "text first!" So far, nothing (though school is not in session, so he may be awaiting the Spring semester). There's one thing the "new generation" of escorts has made me appreciate very much, and that is Sideline. The phone number from which I send these texts is useless in terms of looking up who I am, and that's something I like very much given some of the trends the arena is taking.
