Perhaps he LIKES what he does.
 
I'm always and genuinely shocked to see this kind of attitude in this forum of all places. "...Why he has to escort."
 
Gross.

Oh my. This thread took an odd left hand turn.
 
I’m old and become easily confused so in a situation such as this I always revert to my dentist analogy. If I were choosing a dentist what criteria would I look for?
 
I look for someone who is professional and clearly takes pride in the quality of their professional services. If I were visiting a dentist for the first time and his office were in an abandoned crack house apartment I would rethink my choice.
 
<shrug>. It works for me.

I'm with you there Quincy. I'd be totally suspicious with someone escorting living in a nice bldg. That's why I only hire drug addicts living in shit holes. At least I don't have to wonder why they do it. No doubt that guy was with the police or FBI or even the CIA.

Uh, I think you might have it backwards there.

It's so mystifying to me then how they continue to offer "verification" services and that users continue to believe in and rely on them. It seems like such a deliberately misleading feature.
 
Either you're validating and confirming that this person is the person in the photos and on their ID, or you aren't. Everyone should keep this in mind when they see that "verified" tag on a RM profile. It means virtually nothing.

Paul – I am exceptionally sorry this happened to you. That the Rentmen setup allows for this kind of entrapment is a tremendous problem with that platform that doesn't come with an easy solution.
 
I would love to know more information when you feel safe sharing it, as I'm sure most of us would. Whatever advice I can offer clients (current and potential) to keep them safer in their searches is priceless to me. Your experience is important, however traumatic I'm certain it was.

I don't have the strength to go through all 400 pages of this conversation to see where I fit into it, but It's nice to hear someone else mention the awfulness of the RM message system. Not to mention, @Eric Hassan, the fact that users literally have no idea who has access to view/intercept any of those communications. When I've worked for other companies with proprietary messaging systems like that, administrators (at basically any level) had access to view/edit/delete all messages on all sides.
 
So if you're relying on Rentmen to keep your secrets for you, I've got some troubling news.
 
Clients reading this and friends who might communicate that way: please be patient with providers who ask you to use a secure messaging system. You can't imagine what a struggle it is to be called names and shouted down for refusing to make plans or discuss details via Rentmen messages or SMS. It sucks so badly to be trying to do something eminently practical (and for everyone's good) and be told to "go fuck [my]self, princess" because "everyone else [they] deal with does it this way."
 
I don't have any beef with the "princess" part, but the rest of it makes my job harder, and puts your safety in jeopardy.

@tylerthebadwolf posted on Twitter that he got the same message, with the question “then what am I paying you for?“ – He has a really good point – it’s one thing if we can’t post rates, and need to be careful about language, but if we can’t post phone numbers or links, how are people supposed to contact us? The RM email system is unreliable and burdensome. It seems like it’s the only thing left, and it means clients suddenly have tons more work to do to figure out who they want to see, and we escorts will either see a significant drop in business, or a significant uptick in inquiry emails. I’ve never been one to believe that anyone has any authority to tell me what to do, and I was willing to proceed as I have been in light of this legislation, and I feel sad that there are knee-jerk reactions happening everywhere.

I need to find a way to get my ass to nyc to meet @tylerthebadwolf I’m seriously thinking of a day trip just to see him

Not sure how I missed this, but I had the opportunity to spend some time “penising”(as he hotly calls it) with @tylerthebadwolf last month. It was a fabulous time for both my mind and body. Can’t recommend highly enough. Enthusiastic two thumbs, two toes, and one cock up! Super special guy. I like guys who have brains along with everything else and connect. He’s got that and more in spades! Total gentleman!

Thumbs up from me, too! I saw him when he was in Dallas last year. Good time all the way around. FYI...he has big testicles.

Great guy. Would definitely see him again.

Sure wish he'd come to Columbus. I'm sure I sound like a broken record by now, but I will keep trying. <sigh>

He’s a gem! A delightful dinner date, if I say so myself

I wish she would take a trip to Chicago. I think it would greatly enjoy spending some time with him

Thank you-same here as to being intrigued, think I am going to take the plunge

I hired him this past September. One of the best guys I’ve hired in a long time. Like many, I was intrigued by his blogs and writing style. He’s very genuine in person and extremely smart. I highly recommend him.
