Kinda like my friend's reaction when I told him I hired too (he's straight and hired women). "I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me."

I'd be perfectly happy to see a SW union.... ....provided that union membership requires a commitment to professionalism. Such mandatory rules like getting to sessions on time (and discounts for being late), making honest and up-to-date ads, etc. If you want to make a union, you need to be professionals. And unfortunately, a lot of SW on RentMen are not. Union membership is a responsibility, not just a way to gain benefits, to signal you're a reliable and good worker, and are therefore good to hire. You don't just let anyone in.

Just search the threads for stories like that. Happened to me too. I do know that if it happens to me again, I'm flagging him and his ad in a CoM thread. Escorts deserve respect; thieves do not.

We're more likely not to notice our own (expressed) attitude than another's. It's more likely that we already know how it is to be perceived as having a bad attitude even when we don't mean it, so we're more tolerant of people with similar trouble.

Second that - Chicago is just as sprawling as LA or NYC. One thing you should strongly consider recording is does escort have a means of transportation, or do they expect Uber. Both client and provider can live near each other, but some escorts have no means of transportation. Moreover, some younger escorts actually expect Uber - that should be recorded in case we want to avoid them. I don't know if someone said/implied it before, but if they use payment apps, record which apps they can use. I missed out on a hire because I couldn't get the app working with my account and phone at the last minute. (I was also going to suggest adding tongue length, but only people like me would be interested)

I personally promote the site whenever possible. I make all my regulars aware of it. When other clients on RM ask me about a provider (because they see I've reviewed him), I try and give them a link to the relevant thread here. Both clients and providers are stigmatized in American society; places like this are oases.

That attraction is across genders. I had an Arab coworker who was totally Americanized, and women found the combination of Arab features and a normal worldview attractive. I personally think it's somehow based on how Arabs are steteotypically viewed in the U.S., with the exaggerated masculinity, hint of danger, etc. Arab guys look fine to me too, but many have more facial hair than I enjoy.

That's a shame. Reading is a lost art, and providers taking the time to read this forum would have a market advantage, even if they only lurk.

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.
