A long-term regular. https://rent.men/ExoticFlavor EDIT: Although he's technically an escort not a masseuse.

There will always be bad clients. Here - the moment the guy asked for a "special rate" you should have put your foot down. However, I and many other clients have been robbed by paying first. After you see a thief grab the cash and run off without doing anything, we learn the same. The best option is to have the money in an envelope, out in the open during the session, and the provider can grab it on the way out.

And yet I've met providers who still didn't understand.

That's a decision that should be respected by a client. However, you may not have had to "pretend" to be his boyfriend. If all he wanted was to "give the impression" that you were dating, being together should be enough. If he insisted on PDA or actually telling people you were dating, that might break some boundaries, though.

Weird I've been seeing a lot more ads lately, a lot of newcomers. In my area - no idea about the other markets.

There was a guy who came here from Uganda, a real gym bunny, who used to escort, but at times could be flaky, even with the same person. He moved to California and shut down his ad a couple years ago. I did friend him on FB though, and he's posting flex photos. I'm wondering if it's kosher to ask him if he still meets up.

Besides seeing them on RM, how can you tell if they escort? Or do you have to pay to ask, like you did?

I do know that providers who meet in person discuss their clients or ask questions about them. But I'm not present when that happens, nor do I plan to be.

That's up to individual clients and their circumstances. If an escort is late, even for legitimate reasons, clients have the option of canceling. To be fair, you should tell the provider if you're on a strict schedule and can't be flexible.

Buy a subscription so you can look up phone numbers. Start with your own.

I found an explanation for this. Consumer spending has been down for a year, but only among low wage earners. Now it's going down for the entire middle class. Cause is likely inflation and credit- fueled spending...a vice not limited to gay men by any means.

It's also not limited to gay men....

https://www.thebestflex.com/profile/Bobby-Biceps Met him once. He used to post here, and he used to be on RM as well. He's gay or a 4+ on the Kinsey scale, so he's ok with doing normal escort work.

If you want someone who speaks the language of love in an understandable way, try an English speaker.

" I’m 43, straight, convicted felon, former heroin addict." Okaaaay......

I think a lot of clients are just looking for a quick lay, hence the hour. While a lot of clients here, including me, prefer longer, I get the feeling that's only for openly gay men who are comfortable with their sex life.

That's what you get with lots of horny shallow men. All the pretty boys eventually age. Then karma will hit them.

I hate to say it, but some states in the US are probably going to start being dangerous for gay escorts and hookups soon. Low hanging fruit for ambitious and amoral prosecutors. I think the current slowdown is due to economic factors.

If an escort says an overnight is only 6 hours, and he expects the same 1 to 1.5K as everyone else, he's full of it. Ripoff. I've had gay bodybuilders do 14 hours for the same.

I recall an escort who was proud that he could please a wheelchair bound man with cerebral palsy. If they give an answer like the OP received, block them and report it here. My opinion.

This is what's known in statistics as an "outlier. "

I think I found the problem.

You say it as if it's no longer like that...

Once, I had a young escort claim he "deserved" to get a photo of the guy he was meeting. I hired my backup.

East and West Coast providers are in for a hard time if they think they can make that kind of money in the Midwest.
