    This provider has reached out to me on rentmen.  I don’t recall looking at his ad before although I certainly might have done so.  I don’t typically mind unsolicited messages from providers who’ve seen that I checked out their ad.  But he’s also sent me multiple photos, which is kind of new.  He’s got 6 reviews on rentmen, but I take those with a grain of salt.  Curious if anyone has a similar experience, or is this a new way of marketing?

    Same thing here, he reached out unsolicited by me had not checked out his profile before,  I replied not interested, several weeks later, again he reached out and sent pictures, I blocked him.

    I met him once, awful. He’s at least 20 -25 years older than he claims to be, which I wouldn’t mind if he still looked remotely like the photos, which he does not. I’m sure they are not even of him at a younger age. Awkward encounter in a creepy apartment (I think it’s a half-way house for former addicts). He’s rude and unpleasant. The only time I’ve ever paid the full fee and walked out immediately.

    Similar experience about 20 years ago. 

  3. Recently had a terrific session a great provider. Will definitely do a repeat when our schedules mesh, which we talked about toward the end of the session. In addition to the session being great, he struck me as a genuinely nice man both in person and our texting. I went to check his travel schedule and saw that his RM membership has been temporarily frozen. 

    Here's the question, is it bad form or seem stalkerish or like I was obsessing to reach out to see if he is okay and whether he needs a hand with anything ? As I mentioned above he impressed me as a genuinely nice man.

    Incidentally No may this guy is 6 2 and 190.   If he is 62 he is at least 215 if not more and I do not believe the proportions would fit for him to be 5 7 and 190  cause even at that he would seem to be more than 190

    Was thinking the same, no way is the man in those pictures that height and weight combo

  5. Fully off-topic here:

     

    Watch the new Scorsese Netflix docuseries with Fran Lebowitz, Pretend It's A City, and then tell me with a straight face that NYC isn't (still) the center of the world. She makes one hell of a compelling- and entertaining- argument that it is.

     

    Manhattan has always been expensive... But people still come.

     

    They find a way to survive it and make it work. That's part of what makes it special.

     

    NYC is seriously addictive, like heroin. Moved here in late '80's for my job and thought it was for 4 years or so, now 34 years later wont live anywhere else

  6. Convenience. Ease of getting from point A to point B in a timely manner. Areas like Forest Hills, Riverdale, Ditmas Park very pretty, hard to get to without multiple subway lines, cabs or uber. Cabs, uber and surface travel always an issue as you never know when the 59th street bridge, one of the bridges to Brooklyn or MidTown Tunnel has a backup. Rent savings easily offset by travel expense and clients do not want the hassle of traveling out to the outer boroughs, especially at off hours.
