Strange. I vaguely remember seeing that ad before, but no business.

Veeeery new, and nice looking. There's something "generic" about the ad, but a quick image search on one of them yielded nothing.

So all you need to do is buy the "special pen." Cheaper than I thought: https://www.officedepot.com/a/browse/check-fraud-prevention-and-counterfeit-detector-pens/N=5+573547/

One of my regulars mentioned that someone once tried to pay him with counterfeit bills, but they were obviously fakes and he didn't bite. Do other providers have similar stories? In a black market, it's difficult to punish someone for that.

My libido was never much to begin with (I remember friends joking about that when I was in my early 20s), but it's getting worse. It seems like half the time, I can't even come during a session. And I get bored too. I have 2 regulars, but after time, it gets less exciting. I was looking for a new regular, but everyone in this area wants 300 + Uber fee. 20 miles from downtown doesn't seem long, but it is if you're driving in Chicago. And more escorts don't like travelling. And to repeat what an earlier poster said, facial hair is the "thing" now, and it's a major turnoff for me.

It's hard to keep your name private if you do in-calls (easy address lookup, name around the house, etc.). And thanks to intrusive apps like FaceBook, I've inadvertently gotten the names of some providers (they try to get you to friend anyone who you call). I prefer to pretend I don't know anything, and keep using preferred names, and ask the same.

Seems a bit vanilla - he wasn't willing to work with fetishes, and wouldn't do business with me.

I agree with someone else on this thread who said money spent hiring should be treated like money thrown away - money we can afford to lose. Nonetheless, good escorts deserve that money, not cheats.

I'm pretty OCD when it comes to money, so I actually have a line-item for hiring. It's slightly less than 10K a year, which doesn't harm my income. Nonetheless, I do feel guilty, because I'm also OCD about saving money. I pay into my 401k (10% of my income), and into another savings plan (where I save 14% of my gross income, or 25% of my net income). And the more I save, the better. I will say this - before I started hiring, I barely spent anything on personal luxuries. It's literally the most money I spent on myself.

In your experience, do younger clients tend to be more into fetishes? That's my thing. I came out in college and never had problems finding partners....but not partners who were willing to do the stuff I was into.

He got back to me quickly too, seemed like a nice guy, and is willing to do at least a little more than muscle worship. However, that might be because I scheduled a 2-hour session with him next weekend. Aaron is probably right - pay more, get more.

A muscle lover here as well. I try to see bodybuilders when they travel near me. The more muscular, the better. This is partly because I'm into lift-and-carry, so I need a strong guy.

Much more realistic. And statistically, if you're pulling 300K/year, you're in the "1%." Translation - a lot of these boys on SA are going to be disappointed. How many of the 1% are gay men? If my salary keeps going up, I'd love to get a houseboy/servant, but I've never been interested in "dating" like that. Probably a hangover from my own youth.

It's probably more than that. I live in Chicago, make 6 digits, and don't consider myself wealthy enough for a sugar baby (or wealthy at all, for that matter).

Another question. In your opinion, how much money would you have to make (annual salary) before you should consider getting a guy off SA. As opposed to having an escort relationship.

Once, I tried to hire him. He was always acting paranoid; e,g, when I had phone problems (he couldn't reach my phone), he started immediately accusing me of playing games with him. Despite that, we agreed to a donation and set up a session. However, he completely ghosted me - he never arrived, nor did he answer his texts.

I use, "Thank you for your time." That is polite, but also establishes that I consider any communication to be over. I don't haggle. I'll make an offer, or I'll let them make a counteroffer, but I will never make a counteroffer myself.

I have a ways to go before I'm in a hospice (hopefully), and I thought about that. But, the last thing I had planned out was commendation (last rites), and combining the two might get awkward.

Good hire. That's all.

Yeah, I noticed that too. He disappeared from RM right after our first session, so I just emailed him saying I'd like to start up again, now that he's back. No response yet, though. Like I said, he's very hard to get a hold of.

Same here. Although I've been hiring for only 4-5 years (usually twice a month), I only met 2 escorts who wanted a deposit. With the first, we had already agreed to the session and the hourly fee. However, several hours later (shortly before the session was scheduled for), he asked for the deposit. That set off red lights. So did the fact he has only one review. Also, he's been coming and going on RM. I cancelled the session immediately. This escort posted on M4M forums 3 years ago, usually asking how he could get more customers. This might be what's holding him back... The second escort was new to the field, and had no reviews. I just turned him down - he didn't have enough reviews for me to take seriously. In context, if someone is high profile and has a lot of reviews, I wouldn't mind a deposit. And when scheduling a longer session (like overnight), a deposit would be appropriate.

I met with him, and although I'm not going into details on his private life, this theory is a decent approximation.

Talk about dodging a bullet. I was just about to schedule that guy. Then I read this thread. The most attractive pic, to me, is the first one, with it's bulging muscles. But it appears to be a fake, although I couldn't find anything with Google image search. He has 31 reviews, but about 5 of them were negative.
