Normally, I agree with most of what you write. However, in your quoted post, I must say that I don't think his race has much to do with the issue. Many clients prefer escorts of his race. It is his negative attitude (writing style) that often shines through which might cause him problems in scoring clients. Just my opinion, right or wrong.

The question was "Do you think most clients care if an escort varies his rate - - " My response was answering the "varies" question. If a repeat escort "varies" his rate upward from what it previously was, it could matter as for principle.

Of course, under most circumstances

If you really believe what you just wrote, you urgently need to see a mental health specialist. I wonder what the clients you claim to have would say or do if they had access to read the things you wrote in this forum. I still wish you the best.

You see, you just presented another example where you incorrectly think you know everything about every subject. This is very sad. I did not "mock" you for being in India. India had nothing to do with anything other than to point out your spending so much time on the internet while you were boasting about how much money you make from clients. Your rentmen ad showed that you were currently in India while you were spending hours making countless postings to this forum - - I doubted that you really were in India - - or in any other country - - plain and simple. You leaped to a negative and erroneous conclusion and interjected racism when there was none there. You do have a lot to learn. Your first learning priority is to shed arrogance and false conclusions and try to gain some maturity.

hate - definition verb to feel intense or passionate dislike for (someone) _______________________________________ Your post is funny. No one "hates" you, as you stated in the above post. That fact that some posters called you out for coming across as an arrogant know-it-all for the things you posted does not equate to "hate"- Expressing an opinion over someone's arrogant opinion or unusual boasting do not mean "hate" motivated the responses. By the way, I read all the responses to your long and numerous posts. I did not see where anyone discussed your race or color. How did you come up with that erroneous conclusion? Surely, you agree that people of any race or color can be arrogant and can feel they know everything about every subject. Perhaps if you give it some time and read over your posts, you might understand how your posts come off in a negative way and why you got several negative responses. The best of luck to you.

"the escort who has now assumed control of the thread" Do you mean the escort who has spent an enormous amount of time writing numerous and long posts in this thread and whose ad says that he is currently in India (or pretending to be in India or some foreign location)? That escort? Then I totally agree about the photos and the gym.

Bravo! Right on -

I also nominate this thread for a prize because the person who has written countless long posts is supposedly in India, according to the rentmen ad associated with that person.

Didn't you mean that after Trump visited the island with his family and friends (at taxpayer expense) Trump revoked some (not all) of the previous administration's promotion of travel to Cuba.

Do you have a newer Android phone? If so, do the three-finger swipe and you will have screen shot. That is one way to get around the blocking.

The above proposed 'letter' is a reasonable response to the escort letter ( https://m4m-forum.org/threads/raise-the-rate-2018-proposal-letter.135539/ ) that advises escorts to markedly increase their already high rates. Hilariously, included in the above cited thread (advising escorts to raise their rates), is the suggestion that clients get a second job to pay the recommended higher fees to pay escorts. This rebuttal letter is a job well done.

The article you cited quoted a U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp as saying "Today, Backpage was shutdown. It's a huge step. Now no child will be sold for sex through this website" What was that woman senator smoking or is she just out of her mind? I have read backpage, craigslist, rentmen and similar type ads for years. I have never ever seen a child for sale for sex or for any other reason. Therefore, to close a website then falsely claim it was promoting child sex is more than false and misleading. It is just a big fat lie. The sad part of the closure is it was closed for a false reason and people in authority continue with false accusations. Does anyone wonder why?

Thanks for clarifying that you do not recommend that escorts charge 25% increases for existing clients. Yes, there will be fewer readers. That is simple logic and arithmetic. Already, there are fewer readers. Several escort sites have closed down. That already means fewer readers. Furthermore, many clients who formerly met escorts from those now closed sites do not know how to find where escorts are currently advertising. You mentioned there will be more traffic on rentmen - Have you not noticed that the ads on rentmen have been markedly edited by rentmen to a point where there are no prices allowed and certain marketing language in an ad is restricted. There is also discussion about rentmen being blocked soon within the U.S. If that occurs, where will escorts go to find clients? If rentmen is blocked, not all clients will bother to get a VPN to access rentmen, a site that has already been stripped of a lot of useful information about escorts. I hope you are correct in your assertions. It would be nice if your predictions comes true. I have my doubts.

Not many people get a 25% to 30% raise. I would think since escort advertising is in jeopardy, there will be fewer clients reading the fewer ads that will be able to get to the market place. To increase escorts rates at this time, as you propose, could cause more harm than good. Also, escorts with "regulars" might lose those regulars if the escort suddenly decides to charge an extra hundred dollars, as you advise. Clients and escorts will have to wait and see what happens after the shock settles in. Fewer ads equal fewer readers, equals fewer clients. Raising the escort fee twenty-five or thirty percent could be a downfall for many escorts. But, as you wrote, you "know first hand these methods work."

As we know, this thread is titled "Another SESTA/FOSTA casualty." I find it alarming (and disappointing) that another site was shuttered because of bigotry in our laws. I noticed that no advance warning was given when various sites were shut down or severely limited with respect to posting anything in connection with escorts et cetera. There is a lot of discussion about other sites being shuttered. I want those whose posts I read and those who "liked" many of the things I posted here, to know that I truly found many interesting and helpful people on this forum. If this site disappears, we have no way to contact other posters to express our appreciation. We forum users are part of a unique group that brought together (and continues to bring) much entertainment and information about a certain hobby that many of us share. This message is an advance "thank you" - - - - just in case.

Yes, but the dear leader does not have to look in advertisements for his jollies. Hypocrisy - galore -

Rentmen already has that rule. However, any fake identification will work with rentmen because they do not confirm identification. There are threads on this forum discussing the misleading belief that rentmen wants to convey in connection with "verifying" identification. The verification is merely looking at any identification copied and attached and sent to rentmen by the person placing the ad. The identification can be fake or genuine but rentmen notes in the ad that identification was verified. That half-ass way of verifying is worse than trying to clap with one hand.

CBS is reporting a similar story only with a little more detail - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/feds-seize-classified-ad-site-backpage-com-over-sex-trafficking-ads/ By the way, with the passage of the new laws, how is it that our country has not changed its name to the United States of Puritanical? Sad days ahead. Count on it.

Hi, even though you answered and talked to a few guys from the ads, have you actually met anyone who has ads there?

There are numerous threads on this forum that discuss escort ads that do and do not display a price in the ad. Some forum users stated that having a price listed, or not listed, made little difference whether they would contact the escort in the ad. However, MANY, (including me), stated that when an ad omits a price, they merely skipped over the ad and then went to the next ad. Realizing and accepting the fact that all escort ads on rentmen will eventually omit prices, I cannot help but wonder how many clients will keep their stance on not calling an escort with a price not listed in an ad. It will be a learning experience for clients to accept the fact that there will be no more prices displayed. A client will have to get over their inhibition over calling an escort for a price. Or, will they? Offering an analogous scenario, an ad without a price it tantamount to going to a restaurant and having to call the waiter over to ask the price of items on the menu. It seems like such a waste of time and can be very awkward. With an escort, it would be even more awkward. With future rentmen ads omitting prices, there will still be those of us who will not call an escort merely to ask a price. There will have to be something very compelling in the ad to motivate a call by those of us who do not respond to ads while a price is not shown. If an escort is paying rentmen the same price to advertise but is getting less service (no prices posted), the escort probably should get a discount on the price of future ads. This is because the escort could very well be losing revenue from clients who will not call because the price is not included in the ad, by no choice of the escort. The above is just my observation and opinion. I realize there are those who staunchly feel that an ad does not need to contain a price. Reasonable people can and do disagree.

Excellent choice -

One of his most famous quotes: Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. "May have been gay." See this: Arnold Rampersad, Hughes’ principal biographer, wrote: “Hughes found some young men, especially dark-skinned men, appealing and sexually fascinating. (Both in his various artistic representations, in fiction especially…) Virile young men of very dark complexion fascinated him.” While in his early sixties, Hughes seemed to fall in love with singer Gilbert Price (1942-1991). Unpublished love poems by Hughes were addressed to a man he called “Beauty.” Hughes’ traveling companion in the Caribbean, Zell Ingram, was gay but Hughes disguised him as a heterosexual in his first autobiography. Hughes’ poem “To F.S.” is thought to be about Ferdinand Smith (1893-1961), a sailor from Jamaica whom he met in the 1920s and kept in touch with for over thirty years.
