Been a long time since there’s been a new Trance Japanese Spa vid released, so for old time sake reposting a fav…

Interestingly, I also reached out to him when @jusmeinbr expressed his suspicions.   I was inclined to think he was legit except that his rates were too low...and I told him that.    Everything was fine until he asked for the deposit.   I said no.   He made excuses.   Since he'd already told me the name of his hotel near the Superdome, I asked him to send me a picture of his view.   He said I'm outside and sent me a picture of the front of the hotel from the sidewalk.   I sent him back a picture from the same vantage point that I got from apple maps and noted the IRONY that the SAME WHITE STATION WAGON was reflecting in the glass in my version.   Oddly enough, our correspondence ended there.
Definite case of "Deposit Fraud" and @jusmeinbr's instinct was SPOT ON!

Greetings all. Thank you for discussing me. To answer your questions and comments. I do quite well because their aren't a lot of Daddy Bear escorts out there, and a lot of guys are into it. If I am not to your tastes, that is fine. I long ago gave up needing to be liked by everyone, but also, ask yourself why you feel the need to put someone down to make yourself feel better? Maybe work on your self esteem rather that insult someone because of a size or age difference. 
So Marylander1940 and all those questioning the situation, I suggest you check things out for yourself. And to all of you, come and see me when you are in the Bay Area. I am a great guy.
Much love!

Another provider that has an ad that includes almost all shirtless pics (and nudes in the private pics) but then also says
- My clothes stay on; you’ll be happy but there is nothing intimate in any way;
- I am not a prostitute and I do not offer my body for your use.
Why include those pics if you're going to stay clothed.

I recently had a massage guy in LA who would charge escort rates and we did some side play at the end of the massage, all good no problem. Until one time there was no side play after and I still paid escort rate and left... a week later he texts me asking if I wanted to book and I told him that while enjoy the massage the previous time there was no side play and... he went off on me saying that he brings ENERGY and his SELF to the whole session and he shouldn't feel PRESSURED to do things he didn't want to do.
I said "OK Understood" and didn't book again. 

The OP asked providers if they have experienced clients posting bad reviews because things didn’t go their way. I’ve never had that happen, not knowingly anyway. I guess there could be unflattering reviews or comments out there about me (if anyone finds any please tell me!). Tbh I don’t care. Clients can post whatever they like. You can’t please everyone and those posting vituperative comments will be seen for what they are by most sensible people, and will only influence those clients who I’d prefer didn’t come to me anyway - that’s a positive outcome! 
By the way, the OP mentions the comments were slanderous. Not so. Slander is spoken not written. If it’s written as a record then the term is libellous (if it’s not true of course). If you say PNP in your adverts / profile then it’s more likely that the dissatisfied client’s comments are true than if your advertising says ‘no drugs’.
Personally I have never used drugs because I prefer to be present during sex but I’ve no problem with others using them. They just need to be prepared to be criticised for it. Just like I’m fine to be criticised for doing sex work. People with narrow or closed minds will always do that. Their problem not mine. 
 

@redbottle, I am sorry you went through this situation. I have not read thoroughly the thread, so I apologize if I am repeating what other posters said, but if you are someone who has something to lose you should never meet for the first time an online hookup, from any platform, at your place.
As I also like very young men, and I used to live in DC when I was using Grindr, I would always set a first date at a known bar, where I knew that they cared about their liquor license and therefore would ask for ID to every single customer. This safety measure is not infalible of course, but it would significantly reduce the risk of ending in an underage situation.
I do not know if someone else shared that advice. I do know many shared this one, and I will repeat it again: YOU SHOULD NEVER PAY IN ADVANCE to someone you never met before. The few times I sent a deposit or paid in advance was to a regular, someone I knew and trusted.
Good luck in future hook ups. If you are not a hopeless dummy, you are wiser now. 

You’re not unreasonable in your approach but perhaps not making the case well.
lets say they give each of you an hour at $300/hr and it takes them an hour round trip to get to you.  So they make $600 for 3 hrs…$200/hr.   If they did the same $300/hr for one person, they’d get $150/hr of their time.  So back to you, the math is the same to them in $/hr if you pay them $450.   They’re just not doing the math 
They should not see that as cheap if they understand the math…but then there’s a good reason that many of them are not rocket scientists.   On the other hand, if they’re as busy as they want to be, their logic is sound - you don’t give discounts if you’re operating at full capacity  
Reminds me of a story for a guy named KaidenFoxx who used to be on RM.  we arranged a trip to NYC. I suggested a trip and HE wanted to go there.  Let’s say his standard rate was $1,000/night and we were going for 5 nights and let’s say we agreed on $3,500 for his time. At the last minute, he ghosted me.  After the planned trip, he told me he felt disrespected because, although he’d agreed to it, I wasn’t paying him 5,000.  So I asked one simple question - “how much did you make that week?” And he said he had no appointments.  My response, “so you chose to make 0 rather than make $3,500 for an all expense paid trip to NYC including - at your request - 3rd row center seats to Wicked”.  His response was “I’m young and I have a lot to learn.”

this OP posting this and his reaction to the response reminds me a lot of the scene with "The Favourite" by Olivia Coleman. 
 
 

I'd recommend checking out his twitter page (linked in his ad) before hiring.  Definitely know I'd never hire him.  https://x.com/OGJaxtonWheeler

Yeah, it’s the fault of all them horny ladies who got knocked up. 🤭😂

Bunk. The overwhelming majority of women around the world aren’t staying at home with the kids, and they never have been. Just because your mom did - and bully for her - doesn’t mean young folks today aren’t being nurtured by devoted parents. 

I grew up at a time when most moms stayed at home with their children. It was also a time when I had two sets of slacks and shirts to go to school. That was the tradeoff for having mom at home, we accepted fewer material comforts. I actually feel sorry for these young folks growing up today, they may have creature comforts in abundance but not what they really need two devoted, nurturing parents.

A lot has to do with the elimination of shame in society. With the acceptance of single parenting as a choice,  we have a second generation of kids whose parent(s) didn't have a parent at home because they had to work, and often had no father figure to speak of.
Combine that with schools that can't discipline kids and get rewarded for graduating kids who can't even read, and it's no mystery why this generation is largely not capable of being functional adults. Its by no means just their fault, but it doesn't change the fact that some day they will have to face a reality check.

He's handsome....wish he could spell precision though

He's really hot! Please report back if you meet him.

Nope. Totally disagree. Kids today are just as much exposed to the real world as they were in the early 1970s. That was a half-century ago! The real world has changed radically since then, not least in the ongoing, disruptive transformations from an analog to a digital society, plus the epic transfer of trillions of dollars in assets from the poor and middle classes to the wealthy. These two alone have created a seemingly unbridgeable gap that dramatically alters expectations. Kids didn’t do that - we did. So of course the resulting differences between 19 year olds then and now are vast. It is a common if huge mistake for an older generation to lament “Kids today!! Why, back in my day, we…”. To reference a single example that was mentioned and that relates directly to today’s horrific news: Kids didn’t abolish the early ‘70s draft, creating a huge, over-funded private army that now fights endless wars that drain the treasury and make profiteering corporations richer, all while spilling blood. We did that. Instead of complaining about what 19 year olds do, it is way more productive to complain about - and reform - what adults are doing. Indicting an entire generation on the basis of a terrible experience with one loser just perpetuates the problems.
Sorry, but the kids are all right. End of rant. 

I've always loved this one - but couldn't find it anywhere.  Just saw it on me-gay.com

I can't agree more.  Everybody (especially the young ones) is offended by just about everything every 15 minutes nowadays.  And when you attempt to rationalize normal human behaviors, you become the toxic villain, then you get labeled & cancelled & sent to HR for interrogations.  It is essentially psychological/social/cultural terrorism.  At the end, everyone is forced to blend in and play the fake-ass, politically correct game together just so that the fragile egos of the younglings (snowflakes???) can be preserved.

It feels like gossip to do that. That's how I feel when people message me about my take on other providers. Just my view.

Hello all,
First off, apologize for this rant, so bear with me please.
When I am thinking about seeing a new masseur, my first place to check around is here to get more info.  However, if there is no posts here, I will reach out to those who posted reviews.  I have found that some reviews are not totally accurate or missing details, so I reach out to the person on RM with a very friendly message.
All I'm trying to do is find out more to see if it's a good match. After all the new "normal" price seems to be $200+   I don't want to waste their time or mine if it's not a good fit (nor my money).  Also we all know here there are some masseurs whose pic is lets say not very accurate
I just got one back that said: "I'm always surprised when people reach out to other people on RM for information. My suggestion is reach out to him and ask him your questions".
I do reach out to the masseur for questions.  I find I often get vague responses to my questions
I also had a masseur reach out to me blasting me for asking questions about him followed by blocking me
I do not understand why doing your homework is a bad thing???    Let's help each other out here !!!!!

To be honest, I tend to pay more attention to selfies than to professional photos. In my experience, they’re usually closer to what someone actually looks like and are often more up to date than polished shots. That said, I don’t see anything wrong with having both types of photos in a profile.

This has definitely been my experience. I've been in this hobby for nearly 11 years now... My overwhelming experience has been that providers don't seem to remember or know what they themselves put on their profile. I once was texting a provider to book him as for sex that included anal (he listed himself versatile for anal on his professional profile), in reply he told me he doesn't offer anal sex of any kind as part of his services. If I hadn't (double) checked and booked on the assumption his profile information was correct, it would have been quite a disappointing session. This has happened a number of times.
So the reason I ask things that are already on a provider's profile is because I've had enough experiences where there was either conflicting info or what is mentioned in the profile ended up not being accurate after talking to the provider or being in the room with him.

I’ve never blocked anyone on any platform. It just feels kind of dramatic when I have the option to not engage. If I see someone has viewed my profile dozens of times I may think “that’s a bit obsessive”, but it doesn’t bother me. That said, I have a much higher threshold for tolerating bullshit than the average person. As far as Client A talking to Client B… good! I know the type of experience I provide consistently, and I want people talking—tell everybody!
