    LaffingBear got a reaction from LivingnLA in Real identies....   
    I think that's a personal decision, and differs by individual.
     
    I met a guy in 2017. Took a chance on a phony-picture guy who video-chatted for confirmation, and who was, imo, better looking than the pictures he used. Things seemed to click. Did an hour, then another, an overnight. From a different city, he contacted me when in my region, I contacted him when in his.
     
    I genuinely enjoyed his company. A true gentleman.
     
    But. He couldn't get past the privacy issue. He had, reportedly, had issues with indiscreet revelation of his real identity earlier in career.
     
    I offered to arrange his travel. Flew him to my city. Asked if he wanted join me on trips... short weekends and perhaps lengthier trips. But I told him that at some point, he'd have to move past the total privacy issue. For example, I'd be happy to fly him to meet me in Las Vegas... but I'd need to leave his real name at the desk for a room key. Told him I was even considering inviting him to join me in Europe... but I wasnt going to travel internationally with someone, but not know the name on their passport.
     
    He assured me that he was very interested in the travel opportunities; he'd raise the possibility when we were together. But he wouldn't or couldn't concede on the anonymity point, despite multiple times together.
     
    Last saw him 18 months ago. Eventually, his ad disappeared. I don't know if he retired from the business or simply chose to cut back to being with a few established clients. I never heard from him, and decided to respect his privacy, and never contacted him either.
     
    The vagueness left me a little uncertain. Could he be working with another name? In another city? Using new fake pictures? I've considered a discreet text now and then... something vague like "you still working?" But decide against it. I respect guys who choose to move on from being a rentguy... don't want to be a source of frustration for them, that they can't leave a life-chapter behind and move on.
     
    So... in response to original post... I don't know if there's an appropriate time to share identities. I'm willing to share my identity after developing some trust and familiarity. And, I guess, I'm unwilling to move on to some enhanced levels of a working relationship in the absence of some trust as evidenced by identity-sharing.

    I'd encourage the OP to research PP and Cabanas online. I chose Cabanas after seeing an online video room tour of a PP single.... not my style. That said, my Cabanas King wasnt quite as nice as the one on their website either.
     
    The friends I visited in FTL told me PP is nicer of two.

    I know some guys care about protecting their identity, others are more casual. I care on initial meet. I pay cash, first-name only. By the time I get to repeats, I'm much less concerned.
     
    Im perusing RM in LV.
     
    Not unique to LV, but certainly noticable as Im planning.... my name is very easily seen on the tablet provided for room service, restaurant reservations, controlling shades, etc. Walk through the room, my name is prominently displayed on the tablet in its holder.
     
    Something to remember for discretion's sake, should I hire while here. This is third hotel in recent months with a tablet.... becoming increasingly commonplace.

    So, no sooner did I move on from one scam.... when i see a very familiar face on Grindr. Someone I wanted to hire from RM in past.... cant remember his screen name
     
    Today... he's Prince Cohen. Wants $5 to make a reservation. All kinds of guarantees, longer session, needs credit card to prove Im of legal age, etc. After you pay... you see the schedule to choose your time. Drops a pin telling me hes in a Strip hotel. Linked through either Instagram or Twitter... to rentmasseur.com
     
    Id waste $5. Its Vegas... Im wasting money all day long.
     
    But Im not signing in with my legal name.
    Then it occurs to me... Im not giving him my credit card info.
     
    Already decided against, when I think "Ill bet after I pay the $5... the schedule shows him unavailable for several days" What a great scam that would be for Vegas, typically frequented by short term visitors.
     
    A little while later ... that profile is gone... along with my messages. (Or I'd copy-paste them here)

    Do not assume he is local. Scammers have the ability to show up as a local and even have their location show a legitimate location on the map but they are not the person in the pic. Porn stars are frequently used for this scam. Austin Wolf and Billy Santoro pics show up daily in Grindr and its Not them, nor do they endorse it. The other scam is to ask you to show up to a hotel but buy them a steam card which is some payment card for gaming. They have you give them the numbers to the card and then gone.
