Good days or bad days, the provider still expects to be paid. 
Not a pretty picture when you have to pay for nothing.   

Despite what you wrote above, too many providers still accept a client knowing they are tired or cannot perform well. 
Nonetheless, the provider expects money even though the provider is having a bad day and the provider knows that the meeting will likely end up disappointing for the client. 
Regardless, the provider accepts or demands full payment for rotten service received by the client.    
No question, escorting is not the same as buying a product from a store or reputable company.  In many cases, escorting has gotten out of hand, pricewise and non delivery as agreed. 
Most providers now want payment up front because the provider knows he likely cannot deliver as agreed with the client. 
It is a shame that the rentmen reviews narratives are blocked to U.S. users.  Reading the narratives tells you a lot about many providers that do not care whether the client is treated fairly. 
However, there is a way to read the rentmen narratives even though the narratives are usually blocked to U.S. readers.   Reading the narratives is helpful as a guide to the likihood of compatibility. 
Several months ago I posted a link that will allow Americans to access rentmen narratives as though the clients' computer was in Europe.  That way, the rentmen narratives are not blocked. 
Read the narratives on providers of interest.  Sometimes you get a big surprise by reading the narrratives. 
To simplify accessing the rentmen narrative bypass, here is the link again:
 hide.me/en/proxy
 
When the link opens,  copy the providers' review page link in the space asked for in the hide.me link shown above. 
Happy reading.
 

So does Rentmasseur. 

Rentmen declines reviews unless there is confirmation that you have communicated with the provider.  Rentmen's way to prove communication is through rentmen chat.  
Many providers avoid chat because they plan to give lousy service and they know that a review will be declined if the chat function was not used.  
Therefore, initially, on first contact, use rentmen chat to and from the provider if you plan to write a review of your experience.  Some providers (only a few, fortuneately) plan to give bad service or get your money without performing agreed services.  In short, try to use the rentmen chat function. 
If the provider refuses to use rentmen chat, that should be a possible red flag if the provider specifically tells you not to use chat in any form.  Texting is fine AFTER you first use the chat function to establish to rentmen that you communicated with the provider.  
Otherwise, the provider could get your money and not perform or worse.  
And, the provider would not have the deserved bad reviews show on his ad.

But if he is a great provider (and I have no way of knowing one way or the other), why does he constantly change his name and re-invent himself?  That is a big red flag to me.  

If he has been around that long and has at least four different ads with different names, how can his statement quoted below be true?
"I am brand new and just created this."
He might be a great provider but his wording credibility could use some fixing.   

Really? We’re going to revive these conversations even though most on this forum - otherwise fine to discuss fetishes in gory detail - find them so excruciatingly uncomfortable😊?

I think it is clear that he did not expect to be exempt from scrutiny etc.
I believe he said his age and ethnicity because the probablity of his being involved with something illegal or being an immigration violator is extremely unlikely. 
I do not see where he expected special treatment by stating his description.   

You are better off using a lap top or desk top.  There is nothing to download except the link I provided.  After the link opens, read where is says to add the site you want to open.  The site is the reviews of the provider.  Quite simple.  
Good luck but be careful if you hire this guy based on the negative reviews narratives.

I’m sure you didn’t mean it this way, but some might read this and assume you’re saying because of your age and demographic you should be exempt from scrutiny … 

Hi, thanks for translating that post.  
  

Hi, you used abreviations in your post.  That makes it difficult to understand your post or what you are asking. 
When you wrote "I've been single AF for most of my adulthood." Does that mean you have been serving in the United Stated Air Force?  If so, your retirement will be made a lot easier than if you have worked for a private company.  
Again, if your mean Air Force when you wrote AF, you will not need to worry about medical expense if you retire from the Air Force.  There are many other benefits for prior military veterans honorably discharged.  
Abreviations are sometimes nice but many times abreviation cause the meaning of a message to be lost.  
If AF mean Air Force, please confirm and I can let you know of a lot of benefits that are not advertised for former military who have been discharged honorably.  

How tall is he? Seems to have changed over time? Might wanna see a doctor for that if true…..

Paying your provider ~~$350/hour "many times", he should be giving you a present.

Once you send out a picture you have no control over what someone does with it.  Better paranoid than sorry.

Call us paranoid if you like, but I'm not sure that not wanting to send selfies of oneself is really paranoia. What if I'm a closeted doctor fearful of being outed, what if I'm locally known, what if there's a high chance of being recognized and my private life exposed that I'm trying to keep secret? I don't think it's paranoia to not want my picture 'out there'. Many people don't want their pics even up on social media. If someone is out already or just doesn't mind anyone finding out about their sessions, all power to them. It doesn't mean that those not like that are paranoid. 
I realize as @SouthOfTheBorder said, that I could be secretly being recorded. That's not in my control. The risk that is in my hands is all that I can control and nothing else. There's a gamble being taken by both the provider and the client, and both acknowledge that. Trying to think of ways to protect everyone is a smart idea, but I don't think requiring a photo does much to really provide security. If it's to identify who's at the door, then asking for a description is as secure as asking for a photo. Again, at the end of the day, both sides are accepting a certain level of risk.

You guys are paranoid. Maybe the provider just wants to know who he is inviting into his home.

Generally, my response is "no, thank you."  And it's a deal breaker for me if it's a requirement. 

agree
this is where things go sideways on the client end. He’s a professional & may capitalize on a work trip for more money & contacts. It’s smart.  While RM is public information, I feel like this is a bit like looking at someone’s phone - just don’t do it. 

If you have plans with him why are you still browsing RM?  Perhaps he should be offended

At his X site, Austin desires to go to Colombia and yearns to know to what cities, hot spots, and suggestions for pleasure.
I recommended that he join this site and come to this thread and post his requests.  I also gave him
GayCities - Gay bars, hotels, restaurants with reviews, maps, photos - GayCities
GAYCITIES.COM Gay Cities is your gay travel guide to gay bars, restaurants, hotels and events with reviews, maps and photos in cities wherever you travel. and gayguides.com along with some other site that I can't remember.  I, myself, have never been to Colombia; thus I could not assist him directly.  To you who have been to Colombia, please respond.

Well, he is Latin and that is the correct spelling in Spanish.
