Boink

I can't believe I'm just seeing this hunk for the first time...John Fenoglio on KTLA in LA.

Not to belabor this topic, but if they can assume that I'm a time waster / game player by innocently asking to see their private gallery, I can assume they're either friendly for opening it or UNfriendly for displaying a big red "Request Rejected" sign. Why should I risk hiring someone who shows me unfriendliness with no reason? They're being cautious, but so am I. And, being neither here nor there, I've had nice exchanges with providers whom I did NOT ask to unlock their private gallery.

Well then it's a "Mexican stand off", to use an old phrase. The whole RM system is set up to simply push a button and ask for pics that I assume the provider willingly makes available and uses as an enticement. THAT is my way of opening a conversation with them. And I've had plenty of providers using that opening salvo as a reason to bombard ME with requests to close a deal. My time is valuable, too. If they don't want someone using the simple push button request provided on RM, they could say in their ad "please contact me directly to see more photos" or something to that effect.

I generally don't ask to view the private pics unless I'm seriously considering hiring. When they DO unlock the gallery, I make it a point to thank them and THEN start a dialog and take it from there. When my request is met with a big red box that screams "Request Rejected" with no other communication or reason, whether intentional or not, it comes across as hostile and unfriendly. Like they're not interested in my business. So goodbye potential hire. I get tired of trying to prove my sincerity of interest.

I admire(d) his ad on Rentmen, but when I put in a simple request to share his private gallery, it was denied. I never understand that business tactic. Shuts my consideration of him right down.

As per an email received this morning, ALL LA Adonis shows, nude and otherwise, have been suspended thru October. (And when I read statements like that, I see 'thru November or even December'.) I feel bad for Matt. It can't be an easy job for him by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks; this is exactly how I should have handled it. I can be so stupid sometimes. Hope I get another chance with this provider.

There is a fairly high profile escort who is high on my fantasy hire wish list. (Also in high demand, I'm sure.) He visited and advertised in my town in January and I decided to go for it. I contacted him on the Rentmen message board, giving my real name and phone number in case he preferred to communicate via text. He responded to me on the board, and we began a pleasant back-and-forth trying to hammer out a time. (He was only visiting for a week.) Alas, we never reached a time or day that worked for both of us. His online demeanor lived up to his nice guy reputation and he expressed his regret that we couldn't work things out. Flash forward to last week and I see that he was once again visiting my town (for five days). I decided to give it another try. Now when I have a text/conversation with someone on the Rentmen message boards, I tend to 'keep' the conversation in my account. But it occurred to me that the escort himself doesn't necessarily retain the page in his account. In fact, I assume he deletes it, otherwise he may have a million 'chats' going on. Therefore, when I approached the same escort this time, I guess I kind of wrote it as if it was our first time contact, without mentioning our prior text chat. Although I did give my real name and phone number again. This time I got zero response, which seems to be my lot in life. I was a bit surprised by that with this particular provider because he seemed so friendly and responsive when we 'chatted' on RM in January. I wonder if a better approach from me this time would have been to treat my latest inquiry as a continuation of our previous friendly exchange, which is essentially what it was. But I didn't want to assume he remembered me, especially if he deleted our chat on his end. Anyway, it got me to wondering if any providers generally 'keep' their chats in their RM account, or do they delete them right away? On my end, as a client, I find it helps to keep them as a point of reference. I'm sure the answer to this is 'every one is different'. Just pondering here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. 🙂

Joey's current ad on RM emphasizes erotic massage only.

Big time! I gave up on trying to hire him years ago.

Did he ever get to LA?

On his OF page he comes across as authentically friendly, articulate and polite. Kind of at odds with his self description as raunchy and slutty. If I were in his city I would hire him in a heartbeat for ALL those qualities. (Not to mention his God-like looks!) Price be damned.

Yes, that's the house.

I went just out of curiosity, no expectations. As usual, one of the advertised headliners who attracted me was a no show, at least during the time I was there (10:30-ish - 12-ish). It seemed to me it was pretty well attended, which isn't necessarily a good thing in my book. I find it hard to get the attention of any dancer I'm interested in getting a lap dance with. All the best guys seem to be perpetually 'taken', anchored to the lap dance room. Case in point was a hot guy who goes by 'Body Builder Alex'. I couldn't get near him, although I would have loved to. However I did manage to score a dance with a gorgeous Columbian guy named Johnathan. Anyway, I think I prefer the warehouse/studio setting. Things seem more accessible to me there.

His ad ran on Rentmen in LA for quite a number of weeks (or months?) and I had him on my 'wish list'. Just as I was about to take the plunge (months ago), his ad was gone from LA and showed up in Florida. Hasn't been back in LA since. Which triggers a big pet peeve of mine. If a provider is just visiting an area, why wouldn't you say so in your ad?? With dates! I would have acted sooner if I had known you were in my area only temporarily. This scenario happens to me time and again. Anyway, with this one, I feel like I dodged a bullet. Very grateful for this forum!

I recall Blake Harper being coupled with another super hot porn star named Jason Branch; they both made many videos together and separately. I had the impression that coupling ended when Blake met Colton Ford. They made a few vids together and both seemed to leave the porn industry shortly thereafter. I also have no idea how long the relationship lasted, but I don't think either of them ever returned to porn at any point. I always thought Blake Harper had to be the luckiest guy in the world to snag both of them. He was hot, but I would like to have seen Colton Ford and Jason Branch pair off. All three of them seemed to have a 'nice guy' vibe despite their god-like looks.

The first time I ever attended in LA was Feb 2022 at the Hollywood Hills house. The entrance fee was $100. They advertised FOUR headliners that enticed me to go. Three of the headliners were no shows. THAT is the real deal breaker for me. I did go once more last fall just to check out the sound stage setting in Burbank. $50 entry and I had zero expectations. I was fine with that set up and there were some hot guys there.

One of my all time favorites. And physical perfection, IMHO.

The positioning of these two threads can't be a coincidence...

His Only Fans page is smokin' hot; I stumbled onto it before I ever noticed the ad on RM. Goes by the name of WILL and/or WILL_YUM. His most frequent 'co-star' is equally hot if not hotter. It seems like they're a couple.

It's LA too.

Interestingly, Maiconmax references the term 'Muscle VIP' (referring to himself?) in his RM description.

This thread is about MaiconMax 411.

Definitely remember escort ads from him way back in the 90s in LA's FRONTIERS Magazine. Also probably The Advocate Classifieds.
