DrownedBoy

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.

Damn I feel young.... From RentBoy in Summer of 2014.

As I warned before, that's because of the Covid recession kicking in. I have 2 well paid friends who got laid off, and you never know who's next. Personally, I'm saving up money in case my firm needs to cut expenses. Not likely, but I have no plans to starve. I am starting to hire regularly again, but I'm staying away from the high priced people visiting Chicago, who are charging as if there's no pandemic. I'm sticking with locals who need the money - there are a lot of people hurting right now who need help with the rent and bills, now that eviction freezes are over. They charge less, and I'd rather have the money go to people who need it than "stars" who have enough money to travel. It's not exactly philanthropy, but I'd rather have the money stay in the area, with potential regulars. Kamala Harris has been of two minds on F/S and decriminalizing sex work. However, since she was picked partly to present a "law and order" face to the "threat" of police defunding, those chances probably fell to 0, since Biden is living 50 to 60 years in the past.

I don’t like being imposing so I actually set a timer for n hours when they arrive. There are times I ask escorts to leave early, after I blow my load. Others I want to stay and cuddle with. If they want to leave when I want cuddling, I get unhappy.

What If they approach you for something other than sex, like a fetish? I started before 40 for this reason. Got tired of weirding out bfs and potential hookups.

Something tells me there's a high correlation between people judging hiring clients, and people who can't really afford to hire.

Kept thinking "XYZZY," which fellow computer geeks would recognize. When you only visit a city for a single day (which this guy tends to do), don't expect clients to change around their schedules for you. That, combined with the "same day only" rule, makes me suspicious, but he has too many positive reviews to be a scammer.

I've been wanting to hire him for awhile, and he does come to Chicago on a regular basis. But, he's too pricey for a Covid recession hire. Maybe when things pick up again.

I've been waiting out the pandemic in rural Wisconsin since March, working from home until my office in Chicago reopens. I returned to Chicago twice during pandemic and hired. You can't find providers in Trump farm country. But I decided to return to Chicago at the end of August for a few weeks at least. I need to visit some regulars.

Nope. In RM, blocked ads can't be clicked on, but they still show. I only hope if I block someone, they can't contact me either.

I think many, if not most, escorts do this informally already, on a case by case basis. They need to get off too, you know.

I guess I'm not as picky as other clients here, so they are more fungible to me. De gustibus non est disputandum.

Didn't RentBoy have a lot of educational resources for escorts? At least until the douchebag Feds shut them down?

I would only ask regulars for an overnight, weekend, or vacation. Since my regulars know I'm a nice, easy to please guy who isn't clingy, the price is lower. If you reach out to some RM star you never met before, it's going to be a lot higher. Don't expect the current recession to lower rates just yet. Wait for the full implications of the lost unemployment benefits to kick in. Also watch for when local rent freezes expire. The full effects of the recession won't be felt until upcoming months, when the 40% of "furloughed " workers realize they're never going back. And don't expect discounts from foreign visitors, especially those from Europe. Unlike the U.S., those countries actually know how to handle recessions and health care.

If a guy's coming to me, I could forgive them being late. Not if I'm visiting them and made an effort to be punctual. Good response.

Provider etiquette - always have some bottled water ready for escorts. It's hard to drug a sealed bottle.

He does have some Asian blood, but speaks Spanish and I believe is Columbian. Photo 1 in his ad is highly accurate. Some of his photos reminded me of a former star on RentBoy, Eli Lewis, who was profiled below. I asked him if he was the same guy, but he denied it. Since RentBoy is shut down, I can't cross reference it, and the photos in the below article don't look that similar. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rent-boys-male-escorts-prostitutes-hookers_n_4996212

I spent 2 hours with him. A bit pricey for a recession (300 hr), but really nice and a lot more handsome and muscular in person. ESL but we were largely able to communicate well.

Sorry, not into cams. Real life contact only.

I fully agree. I believe clients should treat providers with respect. However, the fact is that we're looking and evaluating potential providers, just like we'd evaluate objects we'd buy from a store. That's fact; it's how capitalism works, and it's how the escort business works. Both clients and providers need a place where they can talk about things honestly. That's what the forum is for. We can act nice in person, but sometimes we need to talk bluntly and honestly. And it's good for both escorts and providers to keep reality in mind. It's not healthy for escorts or providers to actually believe the other has deep feelings for them.

It depends on quality. Established RM stars might charge 800 to 1000 for an overnight . A newbie or amateur on Friendboy or Grindr might only want 300 to 500.

Slumming on RM Live Vids, in a room open to all, I paid in total about $15 in tokens to 2 guys who spent maybe 10 minutes doing what I asked them to. It was 2 Russians who didn't speak English; I had to use Google Translate to tell them what to do. It didn't really do anything for me. I have maybe 5 or 10 minutes left to waste. As far as OF is concerned, I noticed a lot of young guys on Grindr have accounts. I reached out to one of them to see if they were also looking for generous men to meet in person, and they quickly said yes. It would appear that for "normal" guys (not hotshot bodybuilders or models), OF doesn't generate much income, so they need to supplement it. (DISCLAIMER I'm younger than a lot of clients here, so that might give me an advantage on Grindr). I think this is just a fad that will pass with Covid. Studies established that making money off social media follows the "superstar" model - a handful of elite users make good money, but everyone else is lucky to grab a few bucks. Escorting will still be the only viable side hustle for the vast majority of young men.
