I agree that 2000 per night is too much! When you buy a car, new or used, do you go for test drive or buy blindly? I would suggest that having overnight on first time is not recommended. First is test with 1 hour meet! If you like then later book for overnight. Learn to respect your own hard earned money! If you develop some good connection then spending on the person is altogether different thing. Why these escorts charge so much because they know that out there someone is salivating and thinking from waist down rather than from that grey matter! We all have urges! Just need to control our mind, think rationally. 

An influx of eager American homosexuals, perhaps? 😎

To answer the OP: if I was single again and wanted to hire, there isn’t a rate I wouldn’t exceed.
 
Based on my wide-ranging experiences in the past, I can say there is no correlation between price and pleasure on a superb date. I had very handsome men (enthusiastic amateurs) do everything but ask for little in return. One of the best physical specimens I dated had below-market rates for years because he didn’t advertise. Yet I also dated 2 men (separately, film actor and pornstar) who had high rates and statuesque physiques…both were as lively as statues in bed.
 
The most beautiful men generally ask the highest rates. Certainly I can understand why guys pay extremely high rates for a man whom they lust over or who is their physical ideal. Sometimes you just have to “scratch that itch“ for a guy you want, no matter the price. I do wonder nowadays how anyone judges what a normal rate should be.

I very much agree as @Pensant’s experiences mirror my own. Physically glorious young men, who were eager and versatile in bed, charged upto $350 an hour back then. I did not haggle as they readily offered lower prices for longer sessions. $1000-1500 for an overnight was generally appreciated. Once I even paid $3000 for a week of fun with a young guy as the two of us really connected.

$300 is really the new normal. I was thinking back to 2006-2012 in SoCal, where I lived for many years, and paying $350 to $450 for two-hour sessions for hot young guys who often had to drive from WeHo and LA all the way down to south OC. Really, given inflation, I don’t think $300/hour is unreasonable at all. Even new guys who may also be “porn stars” who quote $400 an hour often agree to overnights for $1,500, which isn’t much higher than ten years ago. 

It’s very creditable that you are seeking to help him @7829V 
I’ve done this with models, but not an escort. I have 2 good friends, Brazilian, who worked in Europe as models and each stayed with me - like you, I have a guest bedroom & bathroom. Over the years, they introduced me to their friends as a ‘nice guy’  with whom visitors could stay. The result is that I had quite a few attractive young men as short-term guests, so I do have some observations to offer. 
 
1. Set the house rules in advance. Consider how you feel about smoking, drinking, overnight guests, playing loud music etc (including anything that really matters to you) and put them in writing - it helps to avoid conflict later.
2. Discuss sex. You find this guy attractive so speak your mind. I didn’t know about some guys who came to stay so I just said ‘I’m gay and I like young men, so I hope that’s not a problem for you?’. The usual response was Cool - often said with a smile. The guys were early 20s, fit and horny. Some were gay but the majority were str8, yet I ended up in bed with most of them. I prided myself at not initiating sex but they were generally very appreciative of all I did for them, so…
3. Charge the guy rent. You must have some idea what he’ll have to pay in rent when he moves to his own place. Treat the guy as an adult; he gets his own bedroom and bathroom. Soften the blow by saying you’ll pay all the bills and provide all the food etc. And if he proves to be a great house-guest, present him with the lump sum of rent as your house-warming gift - it will be a visible sign for him that watching his spending and saving money is worthwhile. 

I agree with @Gymowner That is a goodlooking man.
 
I’m not particularly into blonds but for a few years I did date a blond mid20s muscleboy-bottom. His physique, looks and submissive nature combined to make me really aroused. In turn, that brought out my dominant streak…Oh, the hours I spent tying him up and putting him to good, hard use

I had the same experience when he was visiting NYC.  No response at all.  Instead of asking 'what are you interested in', the more meaningful question is 'why do you have an ad'

To me, what’s so nice about this thread is that everyone is so high-minded.
No-one is interested in salacious gossip anymore. I mean not only the persistent rumours in London (that HC plays for our team) but also the reports in Brazil (when HC, on a movie-marketing tour, was reported as leaving a gay disco very late at night with 2 nice young men).
It’s refreshing that the forum has become so serious 😎

I think @Rudynate is correct as long as you ask in a private message. 
 
I was a modeliser a few years ago. I always asked politely: male models get paid very little but they get hit on often. So I began with a compliment and stated I was generous and discreet, before asking if they ever met a man for “some fun in private”.  IME those not interested at all didn’t bother to reply, but a surprising number did respond. Some had ludicrous notions of how much they wanted but quite a few were very down-to-earth (in terms of what they were prepared to do versus what help they needed). 

I appreciate ‘a la carte’ pricing in restaurants only.
 
With a paid companion, I take an ‘all-you-can-eat’ approach and I prefer to know in advance the price of the full buffet.

I’m glad that @robberbaron4u is so excited by the “alfa stripper” but then I doubt that he’s hiring him to participate in a spelling bee 😎

You had best have some sort of contract and model release agreement form with regard to who is allows what, when, why and where~ Content use and ownership can become a complicated matter especially when content is published, shown or shared~ 
 

To clean out the closets I was going to clean out when the pandemic started two years ago.

I hadn't seen him since he shaved his head, but then again I don't pay much attention to him anyways. But the look suits him! Maybe he can embrace his daddiness.
But I don't see how he can square this with the Church of Scientology. And the report is on behalf of some unnamed "pal." I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

I’m glad to see that @Gymowner has a long-standing hard-on for the guy. Who says that romance is dead?

I brought him up before. And @Gymowner you even commented on him.
 
 

What more do you need to know @Gymowner? 
 
If you need to know his cultural interests or his views on climate change, you might send him a private message via Twitter. I guess you might even mention your generous nature and express your desire to meet privately 😎

intos:
Oral & leather. 
Suck my belt!
 

A response of “Pics?” from a provider whose only pics show him from the neck up? 🤣
Meanwhile, someone needs to tell this average-looking 40 year-old pretending to be 24 that RM ain’t Grindr. Just another sad aged circuit queen who wants to be paid to show up and spit on you.
HARD pass
