@marylander1940, you just need to stop being a shameless apologist for escorts. 

It means that Latinos and Blacks don't always like each other. Not limited to Chicago.
EDIT: And if you want to argue that, please do so in a different thread, because here's not the place.

The saddest part is that this thread would’ve slipped by with maybe 100 views, but now it’s on track to hit 10K.  At first I thought he was just a terrible person , now it’s obvious that the poor middle aged man is more batshit crazy.

From Company of Men (emphasis added): 
There's a difference between sharing information and sharing opinion.  Information is a provider's price range, is a thief or not, is reliable or not, looks his posted age or not, matches the height/weight/size represented in his advertisement or not, accommodates requests or not, wears a condom when asked, requires a deposit, etc.
I believe @Jamie21 stated it perfectly: 
 

I'm sure there are a lot of client flakes out there that waste your time but, to be honest, it works both ways. I just had a couple of fairly important content creators in São Paulo, both on RM, agree to outcall appointments with me and then just didn't show up. Out of twelve inquiries about service (not on RM but garotocomlocal) I had seven not respond. Two asked for pictures (I sent my RM profile) then ghosted me (I'm really not that bad). With many who are now on OnlyFans (or Privacy in Brazil) and now have a steady revenue stream, escorting has become a "side hustle" that they don't take seriously and don't handle professionally. I have no problems with a provider telling me they are not interested but I hate being ghosted. I've rarely had this happen in Canada (I think once maybe). It's happened a few times in Barcelona and London but never as bad as this time in Brazil.

Guys I've said it here many times. This is an expensive sport. Give the deposit or not. Who cares. But as my mother taught me never give or lend money expecting to see it again. $100-$150 should be a sufficient deposit. If you can afford this and a guy screws you over then move on. If that amount hurts your bank account I totally understand that yet you shouldnt be engaging in this type of activity then.

educate yourself in reality 

DC  is a no go zone  unless you want your car windows smashed and to get assaulted at gun point.
 

he is real and is very good.

Recently, a provider gave me pneumonia. He didn't have any symptoms, but I was quite sick for a long time. I tried to convince him to get treatment afterwards, but he refused. I should have known because his rate was good to be true. He was an extremely talented fucker, though. I would have hired again if he would have gotten tested.

HARD to say

I realize I'm older and fatter than I used to be. But I thought providers were supposed to be professionals, and I'm not sure what to do in this situation. Some providers watch porn and ignore me completely, so that's not a good solution.

Couldn’t agree more! The idea - no, the expectation - of needing to be chauffeured as a precondition to do outcalls is galling

In NYC, I simply stop engaging any provider asking for uber. It's not that hard to take the subway, and they probably should anyways.
Outside of NYC, I have met providers taking an uber to come to me. They never asked me to cover their uber bills.
There was one time I had one provider asking me to cover parking at my hotel. I did but curious to hear others' opinions about this.

Exactly and it goes both ways. 
The client knows that he's actually coming and what time is he coming.
NYC is a whole different world over 90% of the guys are in Midtown and they can take the Subway or walk to their appointments.
I wouldn't be surprised if most guys would simply say "thanks but no thanks'' to take the Subway and go outside Manhattan. 
Can we please combine all the different threads on this subject? 
I have a feeling some of the posters used to have a different point of view of this issue.

In this era of texting apps and flakiness sending an escort an Uber is a way to show you are for real and not going to flake.
I've never done it because where I live I am within walking distance of almost everywhere but I know plenty of escorts that 99% of the time get the client to send them an Uber. 
Flakiness also goes both ways, sometimes providers don't show up
 
 
 
 

I get that most services charge a "delivery fee." If it's extra for an out call though, isn't that extra the "delivery fee?"

There is one guy I would meet. I knew him in 8th grade. I was in good with my algebra teacher so every day I would ask to go get a drink so I could watch him sweat in his PE class. They were very tall glasses of water. I would have to pee as soon as class ended.

One time I was having a nice massage with this hot Black man with dreads. Everything was pleasant and then I felt someone knocking on the backdoor. I had to jump up and say I'd love for you to come in, but I haven't cleaned up at all. He was kind enough to keep knocking without entering, and that was fantasy material for a while.
Now I always wonder if I should clean up beforehand.

If I'm bored I string the prepay guys along to waste their time.

The weirdest thing I get on Grindr are hot Asian men who want to enter a relationship immediately. How did they figure out I like Asian, or Latino, or Black men a lot?
