Both. Plus, even with a membership, I'm seeing a lot more headless ads. For some reason starting this year, a lot of escorts are blurring their faces...

I had a black escort start playing a TikTok (or similar) video with a guy lecturing on how evil white people are. I asked him to turn it off. He complied. Good example of how opinions are bad for business.

Yeah I contacted a former RentMen guy via FB and asked if he was still working. No response, so I assume he wasn't. No harm done.

He was eating hash browns not French fries.

Damn, that's longer than my journal entries when I hire. And I can be imaginative.

I've been rejected by quite a few guys who got creeped by for the fantasies I hire for. I just reject them as timid and unprofessional.

I just got to work (was in Springfield, the Illinois capitol) when my boss said a plane just crashed into the WTC. I said, "Are you sh!tting me?" We listened to it on the radio when one of the towers collapsed. Then we pulled up Yahoo! (which was a decent news source then) to find out the rest. My folks near O'Hare said it was the quietest day ever, since they grounded all flights in the U.S.

And he's full of shit and can't even afford a lawyer.

I find guys who live in low income urban areas. You can get them for 150 an hour. The problem is while their bodies are good, their personalities are horrible, and they can't think longer than 24 hours into the future. I need to dispose and find new all the time. They usually beg to get back after awhile, once they realize how easy my money was, but too late.

Once. It wasn't worth the extra money.

I have a Premium account, which signals to providers I hire and put my money where my mouth is. If they reject my request to unlock, it means they're stupid and have no business sense. Ads are a dime a dozen. They hurt only themselves.

You're thinking of host clubs, but paid male companionship is a lot more common in Japan. On the other hand, the "intimacy" between gay men is unrealistically depicted in yaoi manga, which is mainly read by straight women.

There was a long time escort who was in the area. I was surprised that an escort with 50+ stars quoted me 280 an hour. I checked the 411 in here on CoM, and he was seen as ok, although not the type who goes to the gym all the time. His last photo was a few months ago, and damn, he packed on the pounds in that short while. I had him keep his shirt on, but his face was fat too, which really darkened the mood. Yes, if the price seems low, there's always a reason.

I hire at hotels all the time. The decent chain ones don't care - it's common for a provider to just walk directly to my room. In better hotels, you have to come down to help them with the elevator key. In either case, nobody on staff cared, and I got a wink from a clerk who assumed I'd have "guests" overnight. The only thing you have to watch out for is people you know, if you're at a convention or something, and even then there's ways to minimize your visibility.

Ditto. That results in me immediately blocking them for rudeness and lack of financial acumen.

I've seen guys who ask for 350 easily accept 500 for two hours. When they give their hourly rate, immediately give a larger number and ask if they'll accept that for two hours. That's a good sell, and as mentioned, the second hour has little marginal cost for providers.

Here's one I've enjoyed. https://rent.men/Tonetty

Why the hell do you guys keep trying to hire that thief 🤣

I wouldn't mind. I reserve anal for guys I'm actually dating. I'm kind of a side myself, so anal sex is more of a conjugal duty.

Plus Viagra doesn't make you horny, just hard. It's not the same. I'll stop when my libido goes, or when strenuous activity makes it dangerous. Not that I'd mind going that way, but it would look bad in my obituary and might traumatize someone.

In Chicago that's exactly what I did. Some new young Latino said 400. I said, sorry, my limits are 300/500 for 1/2 hours. He immediately accepted my 2 hour rate. Great performance and he wants more hires. The more I'm here, the more glad I am I don't live in NYC. Kids here hear about those prices and think they can get them here. Cute.

I'm waiting to get @Ali Gator's follow up report.

I saw an instance where the "creepy old gay guy" moved in across the street from the kid's (age 20s) family house. They started dating and he moved across the street to live with him. His parents were happy for him. I love it when people just assume the world works a certain way when they have no personal baseline experience. Or that people are as close minded as they are.

I usually donate at Xmas but did an extra donation after the emergency.

Some guys just shouldn't be having anal sex (EDIT like maninsoma said) A friend claimed the following happened to him on Grindr. He went to the top's house, and made a bit of a mess. The top exploded and acted like he was going to beat my friend up. Apparently, he threw my friend's clothes at him, told him to get out of the house immediately, and refused to even let him use the bathroom.
