Was quoted 500 by a certain arrogant provider who blocks you if you balk. I didn't balk; I just ghosted him the moment he texted his rate. It wasn't worthy of a reply.

Agreed - I have a chronic condition that keeps me from taking oral prep, but Apertude gets around that.

Welcome to CoM. So is everyone else here. Can you be more specific?

I agree with what everyone else sees - old ads, not enough details, and no way to leave feedback. The only time I hired someone on MB was because they were also on FB (an amateur, only on the market temporarily). With some ads as old as they are, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else answered the phone. Embarrassing!

I'm just asking, because with all these free ads and the "Las Vegas" model, there's a good risk of a bad hire.

Even worse when the client is in his 50s, 60s, even 70s...

As posted above, this topic has been thoroughly hashed. My policy is no deposits ever, unless the individual is famous and well-reviewed enough that it's the only way to see them. Even then I limit what I'll send.

There's nothing sadder than a provider in his 30s who still acts like an entitled, spoiled brat. I've seen the type, and they usually get into drugs.

Welcome to CoM. Please place the proper link: https://rent.men/LATINSTUDCAMILO Also remember that you're new, and the gentleman you're attacking has 44 5-star reviews and 1 that isn't.4 Finally, if you invite someone over unexpectedly, don't bitch about the escort's performance. If you have screenshots, RM will get through for you.

Yeah. Once had a travelling provider cut me off with "see ya" when I tried to explain where in Chicago I lived. EDIT Did it 3 times. Of course, when he gets here, he complains and demands an Uber. I told him if he would have taken a second to listen, I would, but because of his rudeness, I'd hold him to the original contract. As expected, he didn't show, and I didn't care by then.

It's a sink or swim business, and this kid hasn't learned to swim yet. Or he thinks this is like getting paid for normal Grindr hookups. I'd flag him in Deli or Spa. We've done that with escorts who haven't learned the business yet.

Careful. When you spend more time with someone, you might notice personality traits and habits you don't like, which flows both ways. Give a lot of space, take a lot of space. Set rough times when sexual activities are on the menu. And don't expect to spend every second with him. You won't like it either.

Agreed. I would have told him to stop sexting and get to the point.

Both clients and providers should be careful about that. For instance, a former unreliable regular, when explaining why he needed to cancel and reschedule with me (for perhaps the third time), claimed it was because he had to drive a pregnant sister to the hospital at the exact time. I replied that if his sister was ill, he should stay with her rather than meeting with me later that day. Now, I never did believe his story, but you can feel like a real ass if you call someone a liar, and they turn out to be telling the truth.

I'm not heavy, but I'd be so damned embarrassed if the provider's bed broke when I was on it, that I'd immediately offer to split the cost with him while buying one online. Manners can be expensive; not everyone can be as well-mannered, I admit.

Please accept my condolences. I agree with what others here have said, about to handle this.

Dude, if he performed well during that initial visit, you don't take down the good review just because you didn't like his tone when you tried to rebook him. I agree that you should be offended by the fact he insisted you schedule around him, rather than the other way around - that's not a good business model. But that doesn't negate the former. I've "fired' regulars, but I have to admit I had fun with them during the 5-star sessions.

When people here say "hypermasculine" or "alpha dog," just what kind of attitude are they describing? Examples? To each their own. I do recall being turned off by a self-described alpha bodybuilder who acted all threatening and downgrading as part of his persona, right from the moment we met. I prefer people who only act like that during the actual RP...

As a client, I never expect a provider to get hard, or get off. To be fair - I wouldn't expect all guys to get off on the same stuff I do anyway. I do recall, many years ago, giving a bj to an escort (something I almost never offer to hires). He somewhat clumsily pretended to have an orgasm. I told him it was sweet, but he didn't need to try and prop up my ego.

Yes. Even if I think a guy is physically attractive, if their ad or attitude sounds pompous or too willful, I just back off. Besides, good actors are great at roleplaying.

I'm sure for a donation they'll let you see their faces.

Just block them. I've had providers keep texting me even after a clear "no" from me.

That happened on Rentboy and made the news. I love how the guy claimed this about the escort. "I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him in great detail." 😄 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-rekers-christian-right-leader-denies-gay-prostitution-allegation/

Most gay guys deferred their gratification for at least 18 years, during the horniest and most formative years of their life. It's not as fun as it sounds.

I don't bother hiring during big events in the city, gay or not. I too saw quite a few visiting faces for Market Days, but when I contacted a no-review newbie and he quoted me 350, I didn't bother contacting the others. Plus, trying to schedule across both personal things and providers is a hassle that weekend, and I bet a lot of other Chicago gays thought the same.
