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.
