Yeah, I hired Tonnetty. He was a good kisser and good at following instructions, but his English (or desire to talk) is pretty limited. I've been meaning to rehire him, but haven't had the free time.

I give them a less-than-five review and report them to RentMen, and will let everyone here know. If a provider agrees to stay a particular time for a specicified fee, and leaves early without offering compensation, they're a thief, and I'll treat them like a thief. Period.

Some of us are just as happy with a decent hamburger as with a steak, even if we can afford it.

It's a minus. While not a deciding factor, I definitely wouldn't hire a new provider who does that. Escorts with attitudes aren't my thing.

Just make sure you have protection when they visit. And I don't mean a condom.

I'd want an escort to have a head before I'd send a deposit...

Grindr has a "side" designation. I'm one so I'd hire one, but like Grindr, RM customers usually only have ass on their mind.

Yup, you should ask about each one. Especially the kissing, which escorts don't always provide.

Yes, you have to realize this guy isn't an "escort." He's a "blackmailer and extortionist" who tries to destroy people's lives. This is one instance where you have to be ruthless.

In Japan, they actually have a "paid friend" industry. No sex, just someone to hang out with. https://theweek.com/articles/631927/inside-japans-booming-rentafriend-industry

They can. They just won't receive any extra social status from me, and a good chance at a snide remark.

You poor, poor man.

Yeah, enjoying bodybuilders is not a poor man's sport. Unfortunately, with many bodybuilders, it's also not a sport for people unwilling to put up with an attitude. YMMV, but it's also harder to find truly gay bodybuilders who are willing to do the full menu of options.

I agree with the above, but would add that some clients like showing off social status by being seen with guys out of their league.

I think many escorts (at least the older and savvier ones) have some kind of "loyalty" perks for regulars, but for obvious reasons neither provider nor client should or would talk about it. It's kinda tacky putting a "10% off" sticker on your ass, although I've seen some desperate ones do that.

Agreed - ICE would be the most appropriate response, and would remove a thief from the country. He won't have any opportunities (or rights) to try and attack you.

Same thing happened to me - guy rolled a joint as soon as he came, insisted on smoking it on my balcony, and spent a good chunk of the session on his back on the floor (to clarify, that's not the position I wanted him in). A little sh!t. Drug use among providers is very very common - among bodybuilders, steroids and other juice are pretty much certain. I've only had three (the one above, a meth user, and a roid rager) where the drugs actually caused problems during a session.

Have them fill out their own profile on RentMen and send you it. They don't need photos, but should have stats and what they're into. Like several said above - premium RM customers, who have lots of reviews under their belt, should be a main target. Too bad most providers don't realize that basic business tip.

Yup. Never ever disclose things like "discounts" or "special services." The YMMV rule pretty much prevents too much information from being accurate.

I share general information on clients, whether they're good or bad, but I don't get into the gory details. Given that I hire for BDSM and never intercourse, that's probably a good move.

A karmic circle. Those who try to hire him get an OF scam. EDIT Or stupid enough to try and hire; just as bad.

I know many providers have OF accounts, and we've all heard arguments about how some providers aren't meeting people, just trying to get people to subscribe. Apparently, it's a growing trend. Here's one without a phone number that requires clients to subscribe to OF to even contact him. Is this becoming more common, because to me it's just bait-and-switch. https://rent.men/Zakarieee#platinum

Chatting is always good. Personally, I'd prefer to hear what providers have to talk about. It seems like usually, they're the ones who have to sit and listen to other people talk about themselves.

I hired a guy like this once. His ad said he was "420 friendly". He was way more than that - he just started rolling a blunt the moment he arrived, without asking me (I made him use my balcony). The weed put him on his back on the floor. He wasn't even in a position to put an arm around me.

I've seen no shift in hiring platforms for the past decade. I see no rise in professionalism - you still have to search out good ones, and endlessly suffer the flakes. I'm sure OF and other content places are growing, but I personally need in person contact - you need more than the sense of sight. While some money is being made, it's rare to make good money off social media, especially when every escort and their brother is trying to.
