DrownedBoy

He no longer puts it on his ads, but he will not kiss under any circumstances.

Late at night (like 2 a.m.) I've had RM use the platform chat to contact me with a discount, but that was during the pandemic, when everyone was desperate for customers. Aside from discounts on additional hours, I've never seen prices change by time. When prostitution is legalized, I'm sure some tech bro will come up with an app for "surge pricing" and all those Uber algorithms.

I do wonder how prices got so high. I'm old enough to remember when $20 could get you a quick bj, and $100 all you wanted. However, those were streetwalkers and hustlers. I agree that people should stay within their financial bracket (there are a lot if RM I wouldn't even consider due to price), but is there an equivalent "lower" market to fill the above gap? It's sure not Mintboys.

I was wondering about this, so I Googled. Apparently, gay men statistically are leaner than straight men. Several studies show that, including this one. And not surprisingly, lesbians are heavier than their hetero counterparts. Gay guys really are thinner, study says WWW.NBCNEWS.COM

I'd like to know how those statistics look if you only counted gay men....

This is one of the main reasons I don't pay over-market prices, no matter how hot the guy is. Also, I've found a high correlation between providers who charge large amounts, and providers with big egos. In addition to being annoying, it's pretty stupid to base your ego on your physical attractiveness - looks always fade.

For 500 an hour, he better be a bodybuilder who's an Adonis, and who is strong enough to pick me up like a rag doll.

Noted. I'd PM, but after looking at his pics, I'd never consider this guy in the first place.

I know Rife started his career 6 years ago as the "boy toy" of some actress who was in her 40s at the time. Who knows how discriminating he would have been back then?

Agreed (I don't live in Boystown or the Loop, the most likely place for a Chicago provider to, respectively, live or stay). However, I've found that if you take a 2-hour session, they'll ignore the travel time. Plus, it's usually a good deal. Back on topic - I've actually told one of my regulars (who is a rather popular, constantly-travelling RM) that if someone wants an overnight with him, to just forget about me that night and grab the money. I respect him enough to make sure he doesn't miss out on good financial opportunities, especially since he already decided to stop escorting after a certain date.

Unfortunately, Matt complained about gay men asking him to "sell his body on OnlyFans" for amounts that large. You couldn't even get a decent stripshow video for 1k.

The only person I hired from Friendboy was cheaper than RM, but extremely limited in what he was willing to do (no kissing). Nor did he see any reason to impress, since he was just there temporarily for money. Unlike RM, Friendboy doesn't say if the provider is, say, willing to kiss, so you have to take time and contact them. And at least one Friendboy gave me a bad phone app review when I didn't hire him (I had that remark erased). Mintboys is just a pile of sh!t. As others said, 95% of their ads are old and haven't even been used for years, and you're unlikely to get a response from them. It reminded me of SA in that respect.

Being a schmo is a rich man's sport. Pay up, Johnny.

I've texted a handful of RM who immediately sent me a link for their OF account. Likewise, I've encountered automated responses that do the same thing. Both of those will kill any interest for me. I'll overlook OF mentioned in an ad if it's not front and center. There's nothing wrong with a true escort making money on the side, but there are OF teases out there.

I do a version of #1, although I mention RM and ask them if they're currently working. I'd like to do #2, but those "XXXXX"s can take up a lot of space, and I'm worried about breaking someone's attention span.

Yup. I once met a couple boys who offered to clean my house naked.... ...and I was just looking for a regular house cleaning! Don't ask....

I'm afraid that, from a business perspective, you can't argue if you get outbid. If you wanted one hour some night, and someone else wants an overnight, you've been outbid. Same if you and someone else want an hour, but they're willing to pay more. I'm honest with providers; if someone has 5K in their pocket for them, I'll just wait since I can't outbid that. One of the problems with an illegal, unregulated market.

I never knew that....

Ditto, although with someone that egotistical, I'd probably just say "pass" and block them if they argued back.

There's no economic rule that says rates and salaries have to go up when inflation goes up. In fact, it makes it harder to defeat inflation by doing so. Supply and demand is all that matters. And in my neck of the woods at least, there's a lot of new young men adding themselves to the supply at much lower than 300/hour.

And this is why I never considered living in NYC. Midwest home, Midwest prices.

Yes. Unemployed actors are a great resource - attractive and statistically more likely to be gay.

I believe the following profile meets the record with old photos. The guy does say he's pushing 50, yet those photos were definitely taken in the days before cell phones. I guess I won't know what he looks like now.

You offered the entire amount. It was refused. The escort sounds like the kind of old-fashioned soul who would have been offended if you "insisted" he take some. It's fine. I would recommend trying to hire him again, though, as anyone willing to refund for that is worthy of a second chance.

Oh man yeah. Laughter is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
