I was asked last week, for the first time ever, to pay 50% in advance for a 2 hour meeting a week in advance. When I passed, the escort got angry with me in a text message. He said that he was running a business. He said he was a 5-star RM escort, and I, on the other hand, was a complete stranger. He said the $250 was a “simple gesture.” In my first message to him, I said I was a serious client not out to waste anyone’s time. He later threw that in my face, saying “what a fucking joke.” His nastiness about it made me glad that I wasn’t going to see him.
