There is a provider that posts on these forums quite frequently who would benefit from a handler, and is in no danger of being exploited.

….. I’d love to be that provider’s handler and therapist….. 

I’d love to be a pimp.

Or more like an overlap.

I see a LOT of escorts advertising on massage sites and they have NO idea how to massage

At least half of them have the decency to UNcheck the "Therapeutic" option on their profile.

Although some dont even have an intention of massaging you. I asked one fellow about his therapeutic massage rates and he answered it was $400. I countered that maybe he didn't understand me..I was asking about MASSAGE. He answered that it was all the same rate for one hour.

So I'm guessing his "massage" was going to be a lot of lotion and rubbing his dick in my face. 🙄

I’m glad you made this point. This recent crop of “masseurs”, over the past 5 years have found the magic formula to scam the naive…. These are the guys who want the RATES of an escort, but don’t want to perform the DUTIES of an escort. 
 

So these guys ( usually young, good looking with nice bodies) get on Rentmasseur, (with zero massage skills) advertise “just ask”, rates (usually starting around $200-$300). Once  they find their lustful sucker, the poor chap ends up with baby oil slathered over him for a few minutes which follows with  a mediocre tug, while the masseur shakes his dick in his face, calls this an “erotic” experience, collects his cash sending the victim on his way, snookered…..and waits for his next victim. 

Be careful when hiring, and pay attention to the signs. Don’t be lured by a hot profile. 

Hollywood’s strike is specific to unionized workers in that industry. 
 

The industry you work in is not regulated, and leans further towards individual entrepreneurship for each individual who works in your line of business. 
 

So if you (and possibly a few others) go on strike, the only major thing  that could possibly happen is this:

The savvy providers (who aren’t on strike)  would capitalize from all of the lost business the strikers gave away and will welcome your past and potential clients with open arms.

Then you’d come back from your strike possible having to start from scratch to rebuild clientele, and secure work. 
 

Strikes are a major gamble. Play wisely. 

Throughout the U.S., the market has been infiltrated with guys who are looking for a quick money grab. 
 

many have found that the “Rentmasseur” massage “business”, is an easy way to scam guys.

Oh my God, thank you so much for weighing in. I see it all so differently now. Your feedback has changed my perspective in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined when I started this thread. I am forever in your debt.

One more thing.

This is a forum and in a forum, people are allowed to state their opinions on the topic at hard. People like you, who feel the need to throw in snarky, nasty comments is the reason why so many gays hate communicating with each other. Because some miserable queen always has to throw “shade” in the mix and ruin the flow of the discussion. 
 

Grow up.

Oh, you’re THAT guy….

The dude who responds overtly sarcastic to posts not directed at him, and gets “off”, from  a false sense of intellectual superiority from being obnoxious, arrogant, off putting and nasty. 

Well let me give you this “perspective”. You’re not “witty”, “humorous”, or “funny”. And your juvenile retort is sophomoric at best. 

So instead of finding posts to troll with your useless responses. I’d give you one bit of advice that extends beyond this forum:

Get a life. 
 

You should have left it alone after you said “Thank You”.

what was the point in going back and forth with him about his rate?

He provided his rate and you didn’t want to entertain it. Simple situation.

WOW!! And that is prime real estate area too with some of the best hotels in the vicinity! I can't imagine SF without it's iconic Nordstroms. Thanks for sharing this! 

I’m glad you made this point. 
Once major cities lose its downtown retail, the city starts to decay from its nucleus.

Why do Americans do so much drugs btw.? Europe doesn't seem to have the same issue (at the same levels at least?).

Much of Europe is plagued with drug use. 
However, Portugal managed to reverse its drug problem.

Makes sense and taking this slightly off topic I would never hire someone who openly posts in this ad he won't accept clients of X,Y, or Z ethnicity! 

Ironically, I wish providers would post their “preferences”, saves me the time of even contacting them for a booking. 
 

On the topic of a provider requesting pics, he clearly has a “type”, and wants his client base to fit that mold. He’s definitely of the YMMV persuasion.  However, if I wanted to go through the pic-exchange crap, I’d just get on an app.

This topic comes up frequently on this forum. I’m one or the few who consistently argues that there is a racism problem and specifically when it comes to provider / client interaction, usually before some others get uncomfortable if not already denying it.

I can be an optimist on this if I choose, and that’s partly idealism but also based on experience.  I, however, am not denying you your views or experience.

 

We are on the same page. 
I’m just a smidge more pessimistic….😝

The Chairman doesn’t trust the CEO with billions of dollars, the CFO has that responsibility. .

Far cry from Apu in The Simpsons. 

It’s funny you mentioned him. In the city I live in (DC), there are tons of 7-Elevens with “Apu” there. The irony is that Apu owns the franchise and is making TONS of money.

So, what should men charge?

Men should charge what they believe they are worth. They can evaluate that based on their looks, age, niche factor, dick/butt size, specialty services, location, amenities, or anything they choose. 
 

There’s no set formula for that. 
if he sets a price and makes a successful living from those prices then it works for him. 

Just now, Vegas777 said:

I don't understand.  Should I be questioning rates of men based on their rates?  I never have this far.  If a rate is too high for me I move on.  If a rate is too low I jump on the opportunity to meet right away.  Am I doing something wrong?  This practice of questioning rates by ethnicity sounds more complicated than it needs to be.

We both understand. 
1.) it’s poor etiquette to question a provider’s rates. 
2.) you are correct in “moving on” if a prover’s rates are too high for you.

The practice of questioning rates by ethnicity isn’t something that occurs blatantly. It’s usually thinly veiled with some other justifying B.S.

No one is going to flat out tell a provider: “Why in the hell would I pay your Black/Asian/Hispanic a$$ , THAT much money?” 
 

It simply doesn’t work that way… 

Just now, Vegas777 said:

Perfect! Glad to know race has nothing to do with it. That's what I always assumed.

When one is determining his rates, race has nothing to do with it. 

When a potential client questions his rates, race has ALOT to do with it.

Men should charge what they feel they are worth. 
No one determines a man’s value, but himself.

So, how should I factor this in when determining how much to pay a provider? 

You shouldn’t factor this in at all.

The provider should be the one determining the pay.  And his rate shouldn’t be questioned either.

How did I suggest not allowing him to vent? I did no such thing.

Good word play. You obviously threw some passive-aggressive shade towards his comments and posts. 
 

Just own it.

I’m not judging you, and nor should you judge him.

I’d argue it differently.

America doesn’t strive for equality, but that’s not because it’s racist or supports inequality. It’s from being a very capitalist society.

“Equality”  is ratified once the business case for it is there, rather than set as a moral target to achieve.

I’ll give you examples to counter your point: sports, specifically the NFL.

The NFL welcomes inclusion, as they will put talented black players on the field to win games, get concussions and build fan fare… 

But the  NFL won’t welcome equality, as the NFL moves up in the ranks of coaching and ownership, there’s a clear glass ceiling that talented black applicants can’t reach, even if it would better benefit the franchise. 

Even in capitalistic society, there’s a boundary of race…. and goes like this:

“We welcome minorities, as long as they know their place. You might be even reach the room, but you’re not going to be at the TABLE. And you’re never going to get me SEAT.”
