Absolutely not.
I just read a profile for a visiting provider. In his ad, he announced he was very "selective" about who he met with, and required a full-body photo. I just blocked his ad as a precaution....

Thanks everyone. Wasn't going to contact him, but I thought maybe I was overreacting. Good to know I'm not paranoid!

I had a provider ask me to take a picture of my driver's license and text him the photo 
I promptly replied sorry not happening and I am no longer interested in meeting with you 
Then blocked him on RM and my phone 

Indeed, "escorting" is a "free market" enterprise, and, thereby, a "two-way street" in any "hire": Shop around at the end of the month when the rent is coming due and consider yourself "thrifty" and not "cheap". . .

This. Not enough price signals being sent.
In my experience,  it takes a few texts before I can get a rate quote from an escort, and quite a few won't respond to an initial direct question about their rates.
So both my time and the provider's gets wasted, because I'm still going to turn down a price if it's too high.
One selling approach is to try to get the potential customer to invest something first (like half an hour of waiting on texts). That doesn't work on me, or anyone else with a few brain cells.

An unfortunate downside of RentMen taking rates off the site in the US. 

Great storyline here about payments.
Wish I still had that picture of me that was on the internet of a guy sliding his credit card between my ass cheeks when I was stripping in clubs. It made you damn laugh out loud. 
 

There is member provider here who reached out to me after reading my client profile on RM. We have had good conversations but haven't met up yet because we live in different states. Hoping to meet him at some point.

I'm not a fan of used underwear, but I have a good use for my underwear when they get worn out.
After a final wash, I use scissors to cut them into nearly ribbons. Then, when I hire an escort, I have them rip them off me.

Yes definitely set expectations, and make sure they have something they want to do.  My vacation with an escort bombed when he decided it wasn't fun and took off 2 days in, even after I switched resorts so he had a gym.

Muscles are a must. The more the better.
I definitely like younger guys in their 20s. Twinks aren't my thing, but I love twunks, but can't seem to find too many.
Reasonably tall (5'10 to 6' min, unless they have something else going for them), good deep kisser, and never any facial hair.

I defended one of my regulars once, but that was because the complaint was coming from a guy who never met him (and was simply pissed off that the guy wasn't doing free sexting).
Otherwise, my tastes and practices (fetish only) make it rather hard to compare with other clients. It drives me nuts when people ask if a guy "tops" - I'm not into anal!

Got to Kansas City on a Friday, by Saturday I'd learned a thing or two, for up to then I didn't have an idee of what the modern world was coming to. I counted 20 gas buggies goin' by their self, almost every time I took a walk, then I put my ear to a Bell telephone and a strange woman started in to talk. Everything's up to date in Kansas City.

Yes. I hired one of them off RM accidentally. Not a fun time at all.

Thank you all for your thoughtful advice and kind words to help me see my situation in a different light. It’s nice to feel understood and not judged.
I think given what people have said, I am going to wait until there’s a little more emotional distance from the breakup before hiring, and instead use it as a “gravity assist” to propel myself to better days when I’m done being sad and depressed about it.

I've met very few escorts who wouldn't at least listen to me talk about my "regular" sex life. Only a few of them counseled me back, though.
One minor warning - don't get dependent on hired companionship, even if you keep it as a hobby. And try not to hire when you're depressed.

Premier was a incall/outcall male escort service in Philly.  Now closed.
Run by- I kid you not- a gent named Tony Soprano.

Released military men are "super masculine?" I thought you posted a while ago about the pleasure of hanging around military bases.
No problem, except I spent two years in the Army. Far, far less sexy than you apparently think 

I've done some short smartphone videos of my particular fetish with regulars. One only consented once I arranged it so his face wasn't visible. Since my face is visible,  I'm taking those small MP3s with me to the grave. 

Must you bring this subject again...
you forgot to mention your desire for a blue collar guy penniless and with a baby mama.
