That's called racial profiling...and it's pretty illegal for a business to do that....

I wish I could unread this....

Others here already answered the question for RentMen providers - marketing. I don't think it's so much for straight females as an attempt to signal different things. It's been so varied, but generally I find bisexuals are less likely to bottom or kiss. Also, they tend to market themselves as more "masculine," even though I've hired "bisexuals" that were definitely totally gay, * * * The "bisexual" label in the general population is different. Among younger people, it's become almost "cool" to claim to be bisexual, even if they're totally straight. Sorry, but kissing a member of the same sex once while you're in high school doesn't make you bi.

MintBoys has that "live in boyfriends" section they first put up during the pandemic, but MintBoys isn't exactly the most reputable site. Also - at the beginning of the pandemic, MintBoys asked customers to write them with "success stories" from that section. I haven't seen any...

Ever see that scene in A Game of Shadows, where he "interrogates" Holmes? That's the kind of Moriarty this is. EDIT: Although he also reminds me of the LARPers at my university who would dress up like vampires. A little crazy either way.

Yup. Wants to be some rich guy's trophy husband.

See this thread. Basically, if you live in a liberal metropolitan area, escorting (but not hiring) an escort is legal. Also, as @sync pointed out, those same cities that made escorting legal most likely also are sanctuary cities - meaning you can't legally threaten someone with the ICE, and even if you did, you'd be ignored. However, such protections don't apply in U.S. conservative areas. A sick b@stard from Arizona: Report: Ariz. Sheriff Threatened To Deport Boyfriend : NPR

Ditto to most of this. Most "client contacts" I received were visitors from out of town, who I'd either seen before, or expressed interest in (but was unable to meet). I can think of 2 times a local provider reached out to me (not counting the desperate - and ignored - RM messages I received during the pandemic). 1. A kid I stopped hiring because he was always very late. He needed money, but has yet to understand that people with money usually have to follow a strict schedule. He got so persistent that I blocked him. 2. A guy called me a few weeks after our first session. That was 6 years ago, and he's still my favorite regular.

Hence, for the "Reason" in Venmo, I try to say, "paid back the money I owed him."

He's a hell of a lot bigger than when I hired him during a Chicago visit. But...that would have been at least 6 years ago.

Gotcha. Plus he's pretty short; not sure if he's my type of bodybuilder.

Same quote for his Chicago visit. HOWEVER, I'm willing to pay that much....if he can deliver on the muscles. @Jomo I know you don't want to review, but can you confirm how his muscles looked to you?

Of course. Even on Grindr, I've been contacted by people who, unsolicited, tell me they're into something really different (like scat), right before blocking me immediately. (one day, I'm sure that guy will block someone who really is into scat - poor him )

I'd love to try Grindr - such a larger market! - but it probably wouldn't be long before my "looking for generous" friends meet my "don't need anything" friends.

Yeah. Mr. Biceps decided to visit Chicago, and I really enjoyed spending the night with him. An extremely nice guy, good conversation, and an excellent kisser.

I prefer having regulars (mainly so I don't have to re-explain my RP every time), but I'll try someone new. People retire from the business. However, during the past 2 years, I haven't met any escorts that I'd want to add to my regular hire list.

Even if this guy is real..... Not only is he straight, but he literally doesn't list a single "into." He probably charges 200 to flex only.

I don't know how many Latino providers post in CoM, but has a client ever tried to shoo you away or avoid paying by suggesting you were in the States illegally? Has anyone heard of this happening? Even, perhaps, Latino clients from unscrupulous providers? I ask because: 1. Many businesspeople have done this 2. It also (unfortunately) appears to happen after certain breakups in the gay community ("get your ex deported")

Yup. I know other clients here have met straight people who kissed well, but I bet those escorts were just claiming to be straight. I still encounter gay escorts who "don't kiss," even if they list it on their preferences. This is especially true among the younger providers. Luckily they're usually easy to weed out with a few detailed text questions. There are so many types of bisexuals that you really have to sound them out. I find their (ahem) manner of speaking is a very good indicator of their kissing skills. You need someone who's at least a 4 (preferably 5) on the Kinsey Scale if you want to get some tongue. Like the others here, I've met a few bisexual guys who don't list kissing, but claim they'll do it for the "right type of guy" or "if the mood hits them." I have a regular I've been seeing since before I started kissing escorts, and although he doesn't list kissing, he definitely delivers for me.

That applies to providers only. The article makes clear that clients were still going to be arrested and prosecuted. So, right now and where I live, _I'm_ assuming all the legal risk.

My stance as well. I wasn't born into money, and that worldview will never change. When I see ads like this (really hot guy for a really big fee), I just think of the sexier men I met, and how their fees were so much lower.

And to think my favorite college course was "discreet mathematics".... Seriously, I also passed him by because of the dearth of pictures. But after hearing from @Marccliff, I sent a request for a face photo.

Absolutely. Brothels are safer and more comfortable for both parties. Depends on where the electorate is. Chicago used to be famous for its fancy brothels (even attracting European royals and nobles). Most citizens (and officials) just looked the other way. Unfortunately, in the States, too many people lack common sense - they think outlawing something actually stops it. Sort of like the dimwits in the South who banned sex ed, and were then surprised when teenage pregnancy increased.

The only time I give less than 5-star reviews is if the provider stole from me. By this, I mean they took my money for an agreed upon amount of time for specifically defined services, but left far before the session was over, and without my agreement (in all cases, they found an excuse to leave and refused any suggestion of partial refund; sometimes they were openly mean about it). A warning - even with this limited criteria, I've had situations where I'm the only bad vote for a guy that's 5 stars in every single other review. I'm willing to bet there are a lot of men out there who are too timid to be negative. NOTE I'm only talking about RM reviews. When we can post reviews here again, I'll be brutally honest about even my long time regulars.

I really need to step up my Spanish studies.....
