Ditto. On topic, I've seen providers come to Chicago, but they knew the city so little they couldn't even grab the Uber I sent. Providers need to actually research where they're traveling; I've had cancelations because they didn't look at a map ahead of time. It works both ways.

There are providers, including several I know, who lurk at this site, but would only post if they're under attack. CoM does have good currency when it comes to making or breaking RM reputations.

That's changing, luckily. And it doesn't apply that well outside Silicon Valley. I really do get concerned sometimes. One provider I know said he was going to quit escorting one day, but put it off because he couldn't find some other path to find. Which is difficult when you've already decided that school or working for someone else "aren't your thing."

I was tempted to send him $50 just for putting that in. 😄

If a provider has 30 reviews and 1 is negative, I'm not too concerned. If a provider has 30 reviews and 5 are negative, you need to back off. I mentioned earlier about an escort who refused to see me after I asked why he had that proportion (about 15% negative ads). A few weeks ago, he just reappeared in a new ad, a new name, and no reviews. That's the biggest red flag of all; he did me a favor earlier.

Of course, it's their right to have plastic surgery to minimize their epicanthal fold. Just as it's my right to make the following judgment - someone who does that probably, at a deep psychological level, hates the race they were born into.

Especially since the guy is straight....unexpected gay panic.....

Screw that. I like going out for Asian, but not that bad.

Texas. Figures.

Dude, that looks like a staged photo. It's not a real gym; the area caught by the camera just makes it look like that. He was clearly posing for that effect (hence the YMCA t-shirt). Photoshopping was taking place decades before the (IMNSHO overblown) "AI" wave. Look at the face and body for alterations, not the pose.

Your suspicion is true. When I was a teenager, according to polls (both formal and an informal one at my h.s.), it was expected that you'd lose your virginity by the age of 14. Of course, they also assumed you were straight back then, so I had to wait 5 years until college. Less sex today, but more sexual variety at least.

They're okay, as long as the provider actually shows what they look like without the costume on. Who knows what this Black Joker looks like?

Yes. And if you filter out the kids, it seems like the newcomers are charging less. It also seems like many are just doing this as a side gig alongside their full-time job. They're not looking to travel America, stay in fancy hotels, buy the latest fashions, or take a selfie next to a Porsche.

That sums it up. When you're young and men with money drool after you, take their money. Use that to get an education, start making good money yourself, and pass it down. Generational cycle.

I've learned that money doesn't always talk...in cases where the escort has an attitude. Also, young escorts tend to be more entitled (and thus believe good money is their due), and less likely to realize how financially useful regulars are.

I would suggest providers use a more reliable way to evaluate clients. Like checking if they have a premium account on RentMen and have plenty of reviews. Someone who puts their money where their mouth is. Sort of how I don't bother with Mintboys since you can get free ads there.

Some of it is entitlement, as if they feel they personally "don't need to" be on time. A certain Chicago RM was discussed awhile ago, and he was often hours late (one guy said he scheduled for 9 p.m., but he didn't even text until 3 a.m.). When I contacted him and rather politely asked him to be on time, he totally went off on me, like he was on drugs. He went on an angry monologue that ended with, "You know, I don't feel like coming tonight! Maybe tomorrow!". Hahaha, hell no! I read that young kids are so oblivious to time, that managers were encouraged to compliment younger workers for actually showing up on time. When I had my first job, after 2 days in a row when I was 5 minutes late, the boss told me to start arriving earlier or not to bother coming back. Discipline is the thing Gen Z lacks.

I can't imagine a single provider who wouldn't appreciate a regular - it's the closest to a steady income flow you can get in the industry.

That's good. I told that to the regular I later "fired," but he had an attitude, pointedly ignored me, and kept making excuses for being late. He thought he was worth more than he really was.

Yup. I traced down the dates, and found providers called me a "fake" simply because I passed on hiring them. Someone at CoM also added a negative remark, because he used language and characteristics that I only saw in this forum, and not if we spoke or met. Either way, since it's a personal number, Mr. Number removed all comments within 12 hours of me reporting it. EDIT I'm a subscriber to Mr Number, which makes it easy.

For outcalls, after 5 minutes, I ask what's taking them. My tolerance depends on my schedule. On an empty night before an unscheduled morning, I'd put up with being more late. If I'm on a schedule though, I tell them I'm cancelling after 15 minutes unless they show up. Young escorts can be the worst, since they seem to think time is still a suggestion. When I "fired" a young regular for his constant lateness, he actually laughed. He stopped laughing when he realized I really wasn't going to ever hire him again. To him, punctuality was a joke. I don't see a bright future for him.

I have regulars who easily do 30-40 minutes each way for a 2-hour. However, that's mainly because of city traffic, not distance. They're willing to as long as I keep it at 2 hours. Most local escorts are. One regular drives a bit more of an hour each way. However, he's lives in much smaller market and has to travel for clients.

I guess I had it easy. I managed to get my baccalaureate with some help from an older boyfriend. It's the stupid things I regret. I had a tech internship at a good company in college, and they had an internship-to-hire program. I blew one of my managers. I never did get that internship-to-hire offer. He said he pushed my name, but I don't think so.

I know there are some on RM, but it's places like The Best Flex where you'll see the most straight bodybuilders willing to do that.

Even better - legalize prostitution in the U.S. That would really bring prices down, not only by increasing supply, but by allowing price transparency.
