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.

Thanks for that observation, Bostonman! I did manage to learn more about him as a function of just how small the NO market is and the fact that everybody seems to know everybody or know of everybody entailing the gay scene there. If I were ever to be able to meet with him, I’m convinced he may very likely be my #1 all-time favorite hire (of about 25 I’ve hired all from the NO market with only one or two as NO visitors), but it’s a moot point given that the odds of that ever happening appear awfully slim at this point. I just would have appreciated at least some form of response, even if it had merely been something like, “the activities you outlined simply aren’t appealing to me, and I therefore don’t think I can adequately fulfill your request, but I appreciate your interest in my ad.” Who knows? Maybe if my theory is right, I may get a reply back from him out of the blue when he next visits NO. That’s why I used the words “awfully slim” above. Hope your weekend goes well!

That was certainly an option I could have deployed as opening communication with him, but I obviously didn't (I try and keep any opening communication as friendly and positive as I can and that would have been a little like using a direct 2x4 to the forehead IMO). Having said that, once someone declines to correspond with me (particularly given the excessively-friendly tone I used in that opening communication) when I know he logged onto his account coincidentally within two hours of my correspondence (after a 10-day hiatus), not even so much as a, "I don't think this would work out," I tend to cease communication totally. Thus, for me in my present situation, your suggestion is inapplicable. Hence the inquiry to the group. Make no mistake: I'm not expecting much of a response to this post, but it certainly serves the purpose of assisting anyone who, if he's like me, upon considering hiring an escort, does as his first step of due-diligence a search on this website for past posts. This post will simply add one more for consideration.

Just curious if anyone may have encountered wording in an ad along the lines of "visitor in the area only for a short time," and yet the purported location of the ad remains unchanged for months with no indication of any travel cities at all? Here is a prime example and is the ad which has prompted my question: https://rent.men/MikeLogan I always routinely flew right past the above ad because I'm MUCH more interested in finding a regular than a one-and-done or very infrequent occurrence. Nevertheless, upon viewing the pics for the above ad for the first time the other day, even given the "limited menu" which I know at least one other forum member stated would either have to be expanded or the price reduced for him to have any interest, I became very intrigued because, to me at least, they stand out above the competition in New Orleans (especially if, like me, you crave the clean-cut, All-American type look). Anyway, I sent a text message last night wishing Mike a Happy New Year and being as friendly as I possibly could and stating my own desired activities for a meeting (which are all light and would seem to conform to his "restrictive menu,") but I've heard nothing back notwithstanding the fact that I see he logged onto his account today for the first time since December 21, 2019. I was just wondering if members may have any theories on the obvious discrepancy of the "visitor for only a short time" contrasting with the fact his ad has listed him in New Orleans for months now. Also note he touts himself as a "Tall Hung Texan." My own theory (and that's all it is) is that he actually continues to reside in Texas, but if he can get enough interest (either through an overnight or several solid clients for shorter durations), he could enjoy an all-expense paid vacation to the Big Easy, but that's just a theory. That would explain the apparent dearth of past meetings to culminate in any type of review at all (Daddy's or R/M, of which there's one of each). Does anyone have any other theory you'd like so share? Thanks.

Bump. Ad currently indicates New Orleans.

Well, he unlocked his private photos soon after my post. He EASILY would skyrocket to #1 in New Orleans, so hopefully he’ll make his way there one day. Assuming he does, I certainly would want to meet with him!!

Just making my contribution. I hardly ever get to travel anymore (long story and not relevant anyway), so I've been stuck with my home base hiring city of New Orleans, Louisiana for quite some time. A couple of days ago, Grayson showed that he'd be traveling to New Orleans arriving on December 6, 2019. I decided to make a request to view his private photos because, being blunt, he appears WAY, WAY above the "established" New Orleans market, from which I've refrained from hiring for several years now. He didn't approve the opening of the private pics, and I see he no longer has plans to visit the Big Easy (I'll assume that's why he didn't agree to release his private photos to me). Anyway, knowing zilch about him, I decided to perform a search on this site to see if anything came up (the collective resources of all members and the findings that result from making similar past searches has never failed to astound me!). From reading the posts on this thread, I actually would have been more inclined, not less, to hire him; however, anyone who reads any of my past reviews (granted, they're all old at this point because I hire so rarely now) knows that I'm not a reliable source for reviews because I seek such a highly-specialized niche which certainly isn't the norm for a typical client. Oh well, I'll just have to wait a little longer until someone else similar to Grayson (i.e. not tattooed up to wazoo -- one provider in New Orleans looks GREAT, if one could just remove all that ink that he even has curling around his fingers and wrists -- not some "muscle god," and not having beards or long hair) surfaces. I was heartened by a recent post entailing whether members' hiring propensities have been reduced and so many posters indicated they had indeed reduced their hiring as a result of the trends just referenced. It was certainly comforting to find out that I am obviously far from alone in not being a fan of those now-dominating trends among providers.

Anybody have experience with TravelTwink? Thanks. https://rent.men/TravelTwink

Well, I would submit it may well be the SAME escort and the SAME review. Rimmy has so many aliases that I ceased even trying to count them all (often a negative sign). Also, many of these cites simply “scrape” material from other sites, so you may well HAVE found the same verbatim review for a “different” escort. I’ll await Steve’s review, but common sense says there are red flags all over this particular situation.

Thank you for posting even the brief synopsis. I have been considering his ad for quite some time, and finding ANY kind of meaningful review is tough. I did find one webpage with some written reviews (two). The first of those reviews I'm dubious of because it is dated IN THE FUTURE. The second review is far more substantive notwithstanding the piss poor spelling (likely comprised on an iPHONE). Here's the link if anyone cares to see them (the ONLY way I was able to stumble upon this one is by Googling the phone number from his Rentboy ad and then going site-by-site of the many that appeared) Again, thanks for posting. I'm no longer even tempted! Don't know if you may be in NO for Mardi Gras but, if so, have an enjoyable time!

Just letting everyone know I had another fantastic time. If they are your type, I highly recommend Big Easy Stud, https://rent.men/BigEasyStud (Ty on the review page) and Jake Willis, https://rent.men/JakeWillis. I LOVE having BOTH of them in the same room with me as was the case today and for the last few months since they've been on the NO escort scene.

I live 75 miles notthwest of New Orleans and have all of my 53-year life. I've hired exclusively in New Orleans for 14 years. I've had year-long dry spells wherein I would not GET paid to meet with New Orleans listed escorts; however, for the last eight months I've been fortunate enough to have TWO whom I love meeting. In fact, even as I type this, I am checked into a New Orleans hotel, and the three of us will be hooking up together before I check out tomorrow. I've reviewed both of them so, while I can't speak for others entailing the present market in the Bug Easy, for me, it has soared to an all-time high. I hope it stays this great for my own situation, but I've learned to realize things can change on a dime. Hope everyone who does visit NO can derive as much fulfillment as I have the last few months!

I am presently meeting with two N. O. Escorts, both of whom are EXACTLY what I am looking for (which is often hard to find just one, much less two): https://rent.men/BigEasyStud & https://rent.men/JakeWillis On 1/6/17, we're planning a session for all three of us!! I've reviewed both of these men on DR. Admittedly, I'm seeking a VERY specific type escort for my limited activities that I enjoy immensely. With that caveat fully disclosed, both these gentlemen (each of whom I've met about 6 times in the last four months), have my highest recommendation. Kevin
