Traditionally I used cash, and I'm going to continue to, although I do have some caveats. First, during the pandemic, my bank's local tellers were closed, and the ATM was limited to several hundred a day (I forget the exact amount). That really limited me, so I generally used apps during the pandemic. Now that the tellers are back, I can use cash easier (not to mention the ability to get bills larger than 20s). Second, if it's night and I don't have cash on me, I'm not walking to the ATM for a wad of cash. And since I like 420 before hiring, making a last-minute drive isn't a safe option. It's good to plan ahead, but you never know if you'll see a good visitor pop up one night on RM without warning. Finally, I'm worried about getting my cash withdrawals reported. Taking out as little as 2K over a series of withdrawals in the U.S. can cause the bank to file a SAR against you, without informing you. And that scares the s**t out of me - more dangerous than using a CC! I have too strong a sense of decency to take back money I already paid via an app. I had a former regular take me for several hundred (paid half deposit, but he got 'roid rage and left early). I just let him keep the deposit - it taught me an important lesson anyway.

Like too many bodybuilders - straight, doesn't kiss, and has too much facial hair. A shame.

Agreed. Kissing is important to me, but I've had a self-described straight guy refuse to kiss after I specifically ask if it's okay beforehand. Not fun. Personally, I believe gays who chase after straight men have issues they haven't sorted out yet. And that self-described straights who _do_ kiss and bottom are really bi - they're just catering to this audience. Either way, it's a scene I prefer to avoid.

Occasionally, I like to hire 2 guys at once, but it's very rare to find RM ads for couples, or that offer them. For providers out there - how many are you are able to find a friend to bring along, and how much advance time would you need? Hiring 2 separate providers off RM is risky since they might not get along.

I'm a muscle fan, but the younger the muscle, the better. Major twunk fan.

I'm fully vaccinated, but I'm staying at my place in a rural area. My Chicago office won't open until at least July, and I'm not moving back until then. God, I wish there were more escorts in these areas. RM lists precisely 0 escorts for Madison, Wisconsin, the nearest city.

I just wish I could find younger, clean shaven massive bodybuilders. Beards are all too common. Not to mention straights who won't kiss.

I once paid 400 for a one-hour fetish session with a straight bodybuilder. It was the most I ever spent for a single session, and I'm afraid to say, it wasn't worth it.

I strongly prefer providers who handle it themselves, even if it's with an increased fee. You ever order someone an Uber, then send screen shots so they know the car and license plate? Or have a provider miss the car (since they're not paying, they don't care about cancellation fees)? PITA. I'm not paying, as someone said, to be someone's social secretary. If a provider is from out of town, I prefer they adjust their fees accordingly. It's a hard stop for me if someone agrees, then only later demands an Uber. I just cancel- that's the same as demanding extra money at the last moment. Common scam. Also, extra Uber fees should only be for established, reliable escorts. I've encountered kids with no reviews who think they're worth 300 plus Uber. One of them thought that if he held out, I'd get horny and agree to his Uber an hour later. Cute. As far as "cheap" is concerned- how many times has someone said it? If I pissed away my money like that all the time, I wouldn't have money to hire. And it's more about my self respect than the money.

Reese too.

I'd love to hear how you hire on Grindr safely and anonymously.

I have a friend who also hires. He's straight, but it's fun to exchange stories.

Everyone and their brother is doing OnlyFans right now, but that's just posting videos. It seems like some OF people also don't have any demos, so you have to pay for a month just to look.

....and once more....the Pink Pistol fires a shot at me...

Too skinny for my tastes. If I'm paying a large rate,, he better be a body builder.

Well RM updated my original to one star, and for the first time, I wrote Daddy's Review ad (need to do that for my favorite regular one day soon) in case the Admin erases the above links. More data, I checked the other users on RM who gave him 5 stars. These are the "clients" who did: And yes he's a new escort, started in March. Not for much longer I suspect. I need to add this to my list of lessons learned and people to watch out for. I was always suspicious of people who list themselves as "straight," and this is why - they can't stand being around gay men.

Damn, any of these guys could carry me in their muscular arms and give me mouth to mouth any day!

Yup. Either he decided to burn bridges and take the money, or he planned to try and hold me up for extra cash by threatening to leave. Either way meant I'd never hire him again, and give him bad reviews. I did just as you suggested on Rentmen as well, and explained the situation. He's blocked everywhere. I don't know if this will get removed, but his links are: @Quincy_7 are you that guy with a different name or something? It's an outcall, so he knows my phone and address, but not necessarily my full name (although I know his...or at least the fake ID he's using). I grew up around here, and my whole high school class knew about my fetish (not that weird - I'm into lifeguards). He didn't so much make a veiled threat as just make fun of me as he walked out. There were a number of warning signs, but they came only after he took my money. First, he tried to get me to let him play a video game the entire time. I vetoed that, but let him pick out a movie while we snuggled. Then he kept taking texts and phone calls, getting up to do it. At the second meeting, he was really lousy. At least I can spend more time with my regulars. Which he could have been, if he had kept doing this.

Sorry, but I 'm into roleplaying, so I need someone with a good command of English to follow instructions. I once hired a guy who didn't speak English, and it was a lousy session.

We actually met before, for the same fetish, and the meeting went fine. This was the second time and it caught me off guard. I yelled at him and called him a thief, which is more than within my rights. I've already reported on his Mintboys and Friendboy sites, but I already blocked him on RentMen, so I'm not sure if I can alter my original good review.

He looks great, but after a few texts, you can figure out his English is lousy...and he loses his temper if there's a misunderstanding.

Well, doing the math, he in total only stole 102 dollars in time. After I lost my temper, he threw 70 of it back as he left. I left it on the table. He picked it up at the beginning and pocketed it. 3 out of three times, when the escort pocketed my money beforehand, it turned out to be a scam. It's too bad you don't see that until they have your money. Not worried about the police. In the town where the guy (supposedly) lived, I spent 2 years working with the current police chief while we were in high school. But I'd only deal with police if the runt was stupid enough to try to blackmail, though I'm not sure I'd let him know that.

There's an escort - I don't know if I can post a link here- with Good Reviews on RentMen who cheated me out of half a session! I hired him for 2 hours, and half an hour in, stopped, laughed at me, made a veiled threat about revealing my fetish, and left! What could and should I do? I'm about to remove my 5 star appraisal of him that he gave for the first meeting!

There's no way Biden/Harris will do anything about F/S for awhile because they'd be accused of being soft on crime, one of the issues in the campaign. Maybe later, since even Republicans have to admit their leader hires escorts. I refer to "high class" travelers, who advertise, act, and charge as such. I never could stand that attitude.

In Chicago at least, he doesn't do outcalls, only incalls at his downtown hotel. 300 / 550 1/2 hours. Too high IMHO.
