I had my doubts at the beginning, but they have proved to be loyal and honest players to me. They are a new escort advertising website trying an aggressive business model. You may like them or not, but they are honest and reliable.
I am even collaborating with them and they are supporting my blog. That is how much I trust them.
I have hired escorts who advertise in rentboy.pro with no problems at all. Many of the guys I know are now publishing there, and I know they are publishing because they want to.
We even have forums members like @Boomxyz who can speak better than myself on behalf of rentboy.pro.

I've had words (very nice ones) with one of the guys who run the site. I don't feel that there's monkey business going on. I think it's legit. It's new, so there's gonna be some bumps and not everything is going to be perfect out of the gate. Give the site time and a chance.

I am learning more info as this thread progress. @Boomxyz is being honest, as much as he can. There has been a departure from the team who started the project. The partners still on board have different visions about the future of the website. The apparent contradictions in @Boomxyz posts have to do with that.

Well, currently the site is what it is. Yes it’s very,very far from being a business. As always we share our visions here, collect your opinions and make the site better just like we did it from the very beginning. And this time it looks like despite our CEO’s current vision of a world’s first completely free escort site for everyone, people will treat Rentboy.pro better if it will start charging them. Interesting:) Thanks.

I believe that competition (and sunlight) create the most successful environments. I am not averse paying for good service either. Certainly Rentmen.com, which collects my monthly premium now, doesn't give a damn about my custom unless I have options which could affect that collection. If the Rentboy.pro site offers some responsiveness, I have no problem with a reasonable fee. I like their ideas and direction thus far.

My fav NYC performer

No anal but yes BFE

Doesn't seem they renew pics often. Some guys like Tate Ryder for example are even no more in the US nowadays.
Some of the guys like Brad or Devon 100% have their current escort ads in NYC.
Some of them like Angel Diablo had such ads in the past.
Big-n-tall, is it Marcelo on the pics you posted or another Brazilian who looks like Mmarcelo's twin brother?

http://Rentboy.pro ' s (which has some former Rentboy.com employees on board) first goal however is to put an end of a "post-Rentboy era". It opens everything again: rates, services, adult language... No more post-Rentboy area!

Here is his ad with rates:
https://rentboy.pro/boys/erik
Almost all the ads here are with rates shown

Lucky you on more than one count! They both look super handsome & hot although Erik is more particularly my arch-type even though he is missing his foreskin, which is unusual for European men.
I had an unsatisfactory episode last year with 2 traveling Orlando-based guys who screwed me over so I'm now extremely cautious in dealing w/ anyone who mentions anything about a "4-handed" massage in their ad.

The same thing with BP in Chicago. Thant wellknown trend to hide everything.

My misinterptretation. He did not give a freebie. Approved by meeting" on Rentboy.pro NOW means a representative met an escort as a so called secret shopper, he paid for his time like a regular renter without telling anything about the site. I assume they must apply to the site and the application is not approved till the secret shopper does his shopping. An interesting concept.

Gotta say that I don't understand your marketing model at all. I get to see uninspiring photos of guys who tell me almost nothing about themselves, who provide nothing to inspire me that time with them would be well spent, and I am provided with a disclaimer that says that I shouldn't count on much of anything -- best of luck (wink/wink). What is there to inspire me to ever look at the site a second time?

welcome to the forum @KarlGrant ....don't take things too seriously around here.....

Ali is a new porn performer I am absolutely in love with. He just opened a profile in Rentboy.pro. I have been in touch with him through Twitter and he is just adorable. If you are in his area, please give him a try and share. If he can perform as an escort as he does fucking with other hot guys in camera, I am marrying him.

The topic of the reviews is interesting. We believe in the truthfulness of Daddy's Reviews (I do), however their usefulness and authenticity are heavily questioned in other sites. Rentmen has a review system, but we all know it is very questionable. The task of providing vetted, 100% trustable reviews is, in my opinion, impossible.
 
Rentboy.pro comes with the idea of the secret shopper model to verify posters and provide a very short and family friendly description of their service. The limitations of the model are quite obvious. However, considering that every other reviews system has detractors, I would not waste my energies trying to make everyone happy.
 
If I were @SecretShopper I would read very carefully @Keith30309 feedback, and I would rather invest my time on effecting those improvements.
 
One of the things I miss from the old Rentboy was their community activism. If I see than Rentboy.pro is also willing to invest in building community, that would make it very appealing to me, much more than reviews to the escorts.
 
One of the many good things that come with having several outlets competing for our attention, is diversity. If we are looking for The One Outlet That Will Meet All Our Expectations, we are lost. Having a diverse array of outlets allows us to research, to contrast the info obtained from different websites. I would leave Daddy's reviews as they are, Rentmen's reviews as they are, Rentboy.pro secret shopper and comments system as it is.

All I know is what @SecretShopper explained to me. There are members of the rentboy.pro team who are regular renters. They verify the providers without revealing their identity. That is all I know.

apollon was thoroughly discredited years ago.....nobody who knows what's going on uses it

I don't think SS is breaking the rules. I'm quite certain that Daddy set out ground rules that he must follow. I dont really see how he is actively promoting the site. What I see is happening is no different than the other reps for the other sites getting feedback and addressing concerns. This is a new site, there are going to be issues and I feel SS is doing his best to address those and right what might be wrong. I applaud that cause ultimately that is what is going to make the site become successful. RM has done some things that I am uncomfortable with and it sounds like this new site is addressing those issues and hopefully will not go down that same path. I'm all for the free market, capitalism and competition and I hope RBP will fill the needs of the market that RM cant or won't.

Wow. So much animosity here. Let me give my two cents. First, full disclosure. I am working with rentboy.pro as an independent collaborator. I have been giving feedback from the beginning, and I submitted an article that will be published once they start a new section in their website. The articles I will be writing are my personal opinion, I am not given any editorial lines or list of subjects to write about. In exchange, what they are doing for me is publishing a banner with my blog's logo and link.
 
So it is out of question that I do have a personal interest involved in the success of Rentboy.pro. It is also a fact that if my opinion has any weight in our community it is due to my honesty and intended objectivity. I have not lied, I do not lie, I will not lie.
 
About @SecretShopper breaking the site rules. I think it is a pointless argument, @Guy Fawkes has blessed his participation. Personally, I appreciate we have a voice representing a player in the industry. SShopper is not hiding his interest and his bias, he has stated clearly his affiliation. I wish we also had representatives from rentmen, A4A, and every other member of the hiring community.
 
About the free sample. I agree it was a very bad idea, in my and many others' opinion it was borderline abusive of the professionals. We communicated our criticism, and rentboy.pro changed the model. Did they make a mistake. Yes, a big one. Did they listen to feedback, accept their mistake, and correct the situation? Hell yes. I actually think that the whole process speaks loudly about their willingness to take constructive feedback and actually make improvements. They are not just saying they are listening, they are operating actual improvements based on our criticism.
 
About the non commercial nature of the project. Let's not be disingenuous. Rentboy.pro is non commercial, but the business plan is eventually to become a for profit website. It is explained in the very rentboy.pro website. They are offering to the providers the free publication for now, warning them that in about one year they will have to start paying a low fee. Like any on line project, they are right now growing and as part of that growing strategy they are offering everything for free. But that is not for ever.
 
I am actually thrilled we have the chance to work with them offering our criticism, shaping a new website to our (clients and professionals) needs.
 
Going back to my initial comment, it does puzzles me the unfriendly animosity. We are a very small community, instead of supporting each other we are hating. Boytoy doesn't talk to Daddy's. Daddy's does not talk to boytoy. Whether or not you are still distrustful, Rentboy.pro is indeed the most promising new player I have seen in at least a decade, however some of us seem to be betting to their failure.

I had a successful hire here in DC: http://ilikepinga.com/2017/10/28/jonah/
 
Besides, several of the guys I regularly hire are also advertising there.

It's for sure a senseless convo. When I will want to join your personal forum, I will ask you personally. When I wanted to appear on M4M I asked the owners. And once again Rentboy.pro is a non-commercial organization, but you can think about it or about its name whatever. Thanks for your personal opinion. I got it

Forum's policy is not to allow corporate accounts. Account Rentboy.pro was not activated. My big luck that Guy allows me to represent Rentboy.pro to you guys. He doesn't have to. Thanks a lot to him. Our first acquaintance went completely wrong because of me. But Guy was very kind, he forgave and forgot

Thank you, freecahill, for your interesting ideas. We always consider your opinions, guys.
I personally think, that Rentmen review system has much more issues in fact while after collecting your phone numbers and your money + financial info (for premium members) they choose whose review will they post, whose review will they delete and whose review will they post, then delete.
Our goal was to offer something new and less shady. And we will keep working on it
