I honestly only leave a review if I’m going to leave 5 stars and I really like the provider and I want others to support their work.  Like others said sometimes providers might take anything less than 5 stars as a negative even though 4 out of 5 stars is really good. Think of it like Uber ratings. Anything less than a 5 star ride is kinda frowned upon. In reference to hiring if I’m less than satisfied it’s usually not a big enough deal for me to leave a review unless it was a serious issue that other clients should be aware of. Otherwise I usually just make a post here in the forum. 

What part of San Francisco isn’t sketchy these days unfortunately. 🫣

I believe he’s had a thread on here before and was on twitter for a bit. From what I could gather from his posts and ads he was like a minimum $500 preferred minimum of 2hrs and wanted a deposit. I just didn’t really like the vibe he put out so I didn’t try to meet him and stopped following him on social media. That was about 2-3yrs ago so maybe he’s different now.  Oh and he was “25” back then too but from the look of his recent pics he still looks sexy. lol 

He hosts in the 500 block of Larkin, which is a bit sketchy.
Some of his pics are from Instagram...

It may not be historically accurate in every detail, but it still transports me to a time and place I have always found interesting.  The manipulating and maneuvering performed by characters in the show, as a means of climbing the ever-important social ladder, is probably not too different from that done by robber baron families during the actual Gilded Age.  I don't watch it as a history lesson or as a social commentary, but rather, as an escape from my less-than gilded existence - at least for one hour a week!

Let me add to that...
Wash your entire body.  Antibacterial soap.  Every nook and cranny.

I would strongly encourage everyone to read all the threads on this guy. It’s been a bit but pay attention to what all of us are saying about this guy. Maybe he’s changed but from my experience with him I would never attempt to meet him again 

You might be right, but I'll consider paying them a visit and report back. If anything, they do look worth it for therapeutic massages alone

Can’t assume that in 2024 WEHO, Hillcrest in San Diego, the village in NYC, Boystown in Chicago isn’t even called that anymore. For better or worse the “gay” spaces are going away 

To be meaningful, reviews need to include facts as well as opinions. “It was good” or “Waste of time” are not descriptive enough. Focus on facts about your experience.
A few negative points:
Tardiness, poor atmosphere such as TV on, loud noises, other people present, bad smells, unclean spaces, clutter, distractions like the provider constantly checking phone, leaving the room during the massage, unskilled work, inappropriate massage equipment like mattress on the floor, cutting your time short, rudeness, uninvited discussions of politics or religion or conspiracy theories, etc. Provider says or does something racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. Charging more than agreed upon rates (assuming no upselling). High pressure upselling behavior. Violence, threats, stalking, not showing up, ghosting, failing to communicate, doesn’t look like his photos, photos are outdated by many years, inaccurate massage description, etc…
These are just some of many things you could say in a review to make it more meaningful. Giving 1-4 stars with little or no commentary means almost nothing.
Positive reviews also need concrete details to be meaningful. Focus on facts as well as how the experience made you feel.
A few positive points:
Technical skills are as expected or better, starts on time, unrushed, friendly demeanor, accurate photos and descriptions, goes the whole time, uses appropriate equipment and supplies, accommodates client needs, space is clean, inviting, relaxing, private, safe, tidy, etc. Restroom and shower are available, provider offers water, smell in the space is neutral or pleasant, temperature is comfortable, etc…
Find what made your experience positive and write that. 5 stars means nothing other than the client presumably enjoyed it. The reason he enjoyed it could simply be that the provider was hot or got him off, or offered a discount, or 5 stars means to the client: perfectly adequate and meets expectations. Other clients reserve 5 stars only for truly excellent service. 4 stars is still positive.
Whatever you rate, explain with as much focus on facts as possible why you chose the rating you did. Then explain how the experience made you feel.
For RentMen, these are a bit of a reach considering most clients provide little to no descriptive feedback. For masseur sites, you get a wider variety.
Reviews are only as meaningful as the context they offer. Weigh each review accordingly.

I don’t write reviews unless I’m genuinely super happy.  Or super unhappy, and rarely in those cases, mainly as unless there is anything dangerous to others, I want to break ties and be done with it.
The reviews clearly mean something as the follow up from providers afterward (either “please leave a review” or “please take down or edit your review”) can get invasive. And I still find it amusing that many providers just don’t seem to get that I may have had a less than perfect experience.
More than one supposedly established and well-regarded provider has offered men a free session if I wrote a positive review or took down something that wasn’t perfect.
 

starred reviews have become such a "thing" within the internet and social media....hotels, restaurants, everything......"how many stars on Google??".......
it's no secret that many review-ees think anything less than five stars is equivalent to zero stars......a four-star review is nearly excellent and may only reflect a minor glitch or a difference in opinion.......but to have that pristine run of five-star reviews broken is apparently devastating to many......and too many reviewers are leaving five-star reviews who also think anything less is an insult....it's not
@Boaxxx   if all you mentioned is true about his work ethic and space, you did nothing wrong....please continue to leave honest reviews as you see appropriate    

I wish RM let you give 1/2 star reviews. I've given all 5 star reviews to providers I have hired even though most of them were more like 4 1/2. That's why I love the forum. A member was inquiring about a provider I had hired and I was able to give him a good detailed pm about my experience.

We can all appreciate a polite approach,  professionalism shown by the client,  appreciation after and a tip if warranted and the client wants to do so.
To show flexibility and patience,  provided the provider does the same.    

$$$$, be on time, brush your teeth, and wash yer ass.
It’s simple really. 

AWESOME show!!!!!

Shooting confirmed to start June/July.

Kahuna style massage is primarily having at least one hand on your body at all times, constantly in motion. I read a non-interactive extra from Corndog to mean a happy ending for you, but that is the extent of the erotic factor. Almost nothing worse that a guy stroking you to completion with one hand - still under the Kahuna guidelines! - while checking their texts or taking a call with the other!

This is one of the things that always makes me think more than twice whenever I see PNP on the INTOs list.

I went to the Ohm website and the first three pictures were generic/stock photos of impossibly beautiful women receiving legit massage-like services......for purposes of this inquiry, I didn't look any further to see if men are even welcome, but I assume they are.......and I assume that, in 2024 San Francisco, a Castro location does not instantly mean "gay".......

For me I prefer the provider naked while the work. To me it adds to the sexual energy feeling their body occasionally brush against mine
