DMICS

Unless specified to directly text, I usually reach out to a provider via the chat on RM. I don't want to blow up their phone waisting time. Plus I believe for review purposes, you have to message a provider on RM 1st to allow any reviews to be left. From there my message is usually: "Hey ____, how's everything going? I'm looking to book you for an outcall 1-hr session on Friday. I'm hosting at my private residence/hotel in ______ (insert city). My stats, I'm _______ (mention my stats) and I'm available from ___ am to ___ pm so whatever time works in between let me know. I'd mainly like to ________ (list what I'm looking to do during the meet). Also, I wanted to ask if race is an issue? Thanks" If all is clear, I then proceed to text where final arrangements can be locked in.

Tried a 3rd booking today and the same thing. This time with the guy who I hired once before and is the one I started the partial upfront and the rest at the end. Providers definitely dealt with a lot of flakes and scammers during the pandemic I'm guessing, more than ever. It's just one of those days I guess lol.

Had 2 separate sessions booked for today. The 1st guy, we touched on the donation yesterday. Said he only takes donations upfront. I offered to meet a middle ground (half to start, rest at the end). This morning he messages me to confirm a time and I wanted to clarify the donation subject. He said no and ghosted. The 2nd guy said he takes donations upfront to get things out the way. I mentioned I typically forward the donation after the session. I respectfully tell him thanks for everything, I appreciate him replying to my inquiries and I'm sorry for everything. I go on RM and see that he blocked me lol. It's like walking on glass a lot of times...

lmfaooooooooo good grief!

Considering the backlash the government is facing over it, there's reports it might be removed in the coming month or so. We will see. If you're fully vaccinated and travelling by land especially, the PCR is ridiculous. But then again I'm just reacting off of frustration.

He's probably just been busy. I actually just spoke to @tristanbaldwin . He's doing great just busy with his main job. I just wanted to see where he's mainly stationed now so I can plan accordingly. Also he's had trouble logging in after the forum went through that transition to a new platform. TB will probably post an update here when he gets that rectified.

So we can travel pretty much. But the "issue" is no matter how you travel, land or air, Canadians cannot travel back home without a PCR test. Rapid antigen tests are not allowed. The problem with PCR tests is depending on where you get one it can cost anywhere from $200-300 CDN. Land travel opened up for Canadians last Monday and a lot of officials on both the Canadian and U.S. side (especially in Niagara Falls/Buffalo) are annoyed with this requirement. While I'm sure others like myself can pay the PCR no worries, it feels like a money grab much like the ridiculous $2000 quarantine hotel the Canadian government had implemented for travellers flying back into Canada. Had a few trips to the U.S. planned for this month which I had to cancel. So until that PCR requirement is gone, I'm staying put.

Simply amazing. Just waiting for the unnecessary final hurdle to be removed from travelling so I can finally enjoy a TB experience.

Right? sounds like the Super Bowl for providers hahaha. Love it.

Good to know. After seeing this I checked the profiles attached to the messages I was getting. Low and behold at least 5 of the accounts are deleted and no longer active. I'm not even going to waste my time. I tried updating my profile blurb for people to contact me via my email but an hour later I got a message from SA stating thats not allowed and I have to remove it.

I signed up my 1st Seeking account a few weeks back. It's just basic so sadly I don't see all the messages I've gotten so far. I'm not paying that $99 membership, but from the sounds of it in these posts there's a lot of time wasting so money saved I guess lol.

Yeah I'm lost, he's in NYC right? what's wrong with 14th and 7th? Whenever I'm in town and I'm out enjoying the Adult "attractions" in the area I often end my night by picking up a treat at The Donut Pub on that corner before heading back to Brooklyn. Unless you mean the regular police presence...lol.

Yeah as others have said $300 is pretty much the standard rate in most major cities. In some cases you might find around the $200-250 rate from an experienced provider but either thats for an incall, or the guy is heavily booked and takes a lot of clients. Most providers I've booked are usually in the $250 range, but while I'm in a major city it's nothing like New York City or Los Angeles. I've had success with RM providers that are also on Grindr. In those cases the provider quoted a lower rate vs. their RM rate. I recenty made a profile on Seeking (with my picture) and get notifications daily of guys sending me messages, but I'll have to pay that $99 membership to get access to my msgs.

Yeah I had him on my list too. Seemed like an easy-going, cool, fun, sexual spirit. I often see him on Grindr in my area also. Sucks to hear he flaked on you twice. Odd since he was on chaturbate last night for a few hours.

Yeah thats a hard NO for me (no pun intended).

If he was into a little more I'd be fine with the $500. Ah well, kudos to him.

What's his OF?

- Mention BEFORE booking that they'll be given their fee AFTER the session - Don't think with your little head - Only do upfront with a person that you've booked a handful of times and is a regular I always follow those 3 steps and haven't had an issue. Only 1 time a provider said he only takes upfront because he's been scammed a lot. Eventually we agreed on half upfront. Considering the time he was spending to travel and meet me, plus his reviews, I felt comfortable doing so.

He was definitely on my list. Especially since pre-covid he would regularly travel here. Guess I'll be crossing him off.

Good to hear he's well. Still waiting for our re-scheduled session haha.

Please do. Show what you're working with...

Just scary (and sad) overall.

Good idea, definitely look into that option.

Sadly, it's a part of the business. Unless you're willing to start charging a deposit there's not much you can do unless you're a pro at seeing the signs of someone wasting your time. Now see this is the utmost disrespect. Stood you up twice and now it's like he's taunting you in a sick way that "it's part of the fun for me" AND he's a member of the forum? I give you a lot of props for not exposing him, I still think his account should be banned on here. I would be LIVID. This is the 1st time I've ever heard of someone flaking in any aspect and saying it's a part of the thrill. Straight up disgusting.

I don't accept drinks from anyone I don't know. I also don't book providers for in calls. When I host/do out calls, I always provide/offer sealed Fiji waters. Sometimes I'll ask if they have a drink of choice and I'll go out and buy that ahead of time.
