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 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.

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!

@jusmeinbr - thanks for the note. I’m glad I saved you some $ better used elsewhere.
 
And thanks for the boyrental.com lead. I was not familiar with that. Anyone else know it?

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): http://www.boyrentals.com/reviews-for-985-205-2474.
 
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 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.
