I think of it this way. Neither I nor my firm will put up with young hires who are habitually late. Business is business, and I've had to remind more than one late provider (or late employee) that there are many out there who want their job.

Yup. When you work full-time in an important job, you can't deal with kids who like to be fashionably late. When I was in college, when your sugar daddy told you to be at the restaurant at a certain time, you showed up. Irresponsible and lazy brats don't deserve sugar.

Good filter. If they refuse or seem huffy, it means they're a bad hire.

There's a word for that. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/narcissism

The "bid" feature seems limited. It looks like they expect the "offer" to include expensive date options, like fancy restaurants or exotic vacations. Either way, a competitor for SA. Not an escorting platform.

The moment I saw the word "tapestry," I knew he was copying it from somewhere else. Why can't everyone be direct? Like, "you cover my apartment and tuition, and I'll be your boyfriend."

As is the custom in Chicago since '79, they spread about 2 lbs. of salt for every 1 lb. of snow. The Picasso looks like it just crapped out a pile of salt. Seriously. And I gave up keeping salt out of my front hall.

Does he have a head?

There's nothing sadder than a person who bases their self esteem on their sexy appearances. That's a great path to suicide as you grow old when gay.

You end up paying for it, one way or the other.

I've met providers who've been "exclusive" to a sugar daddy before, and it's not always comfortable or pleasurable. One of my regulars left such a situation to maintain his freedom.

Yup. Unfortunately, kidney transplants are not the cure-all people think they are, as many members of my family have learned.

Too bad. Hopefully he found something or someone more lucrative.

Wrong medication. Dehydration due to intense sports. Genetics. The list is endless.

Just never say anything that translates to "I'll pay you money for sex" and most legal problems are gone. Also, few cops are willing to French kiss for a collar. Like they said, the main problem is fraudulent providers. Do due diligence. That's what The Deli section is.

I didn't even bother during a heavy Chicago snowstorm. I have experience driving down unplowed side streets in Chicago, and I don't need someone getting in an accident over me. I do have to hire when it's sub-freezing out, but that goes with the territory.

I recently encountered a visiting provider to Chicago who refused to list his phone number, and would only use RM Messenger. That was a red flag, especially since a quick search on CoM revealed that he has a habit of lying to future customers.

Yes that kind of money grubbing should be an instant cancel.

That was bad enough when I encountered it on Grindr. Guess they were selling a "surprise " session.

Yup. I mentioned earlier that RM are a luxury good. Luxury goods don't sell during economic downturns. And I don't care what politicians say, this economy is a lot worse than the numbers show. This market is the most laissez-faire of all due to the law, yet good providers are dropping their rates. I bet it's this reason: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/08/economy/us-household-credit-card-debt/index.html

I don't send it. Ever.

This older millennial can't either... ....which is why he has a modest condo. Mortgage payments are like half of what some of my friends pay in rent. As for the latest Chicago price update, I'm seeing professionals, including young ones, drop their prices below 300/hour (or 500/2hr) more often. There's something off about the economy. I bet everyone's been paying with credit and savings the past 3 years, and the bills are coming due. For both clients and providers.

The thing is, I've seen ads where they offer "college specials" and discounts for "fit" clients. Also, I'm sure both providers and clients have encountered situations where, for some reason or another, the provider decides to do more because he finds it pleasurable.

I keep my stats on my RM profile. Any provider has a chance to look ahead of time. When contacting someone new via text, I often include a link to that profile. The smarter and professional escorts will actually take time to read it. That's a filter I watch if they ask any additional questions. If they ask me for my face pic, I send them one of the small portraits of Dr. Franklin I keep in my pocket. My face pic is a dealkiller. EDIT: Anyone who ever read Franklin's autobiography will see how appropriate it is to use his face for such transactions.

There was a provider Darkyounghorse whose tongue was so long and skilled that I came when he kissed me once. Unfortunately he's no longer on the market, and seemed very uncomfortable and unreliable when he still was. Statistically speaking, African men have the longest tongues, and that guy was a transplanted Ugandan.
