I've noticed a few higher end escorts using rent messure to advertise and get clients - even though we all know they know nothing about being a messure. But, it still allows for them to use Twitter (no longer an option on RentMen) to market themselves. IDK what's next, but gay men have a long history of find ways around ill planned rules and regulations imposed on us. Someone will figure out a solution.

What's the Twitter handle so I can follow you?

Something has definitely changed with the shut down of Craigslist/Backpage as a result of FOSTA. And with RentMen the only real option left, it's attracting a group of clients we didn't encounter previously.

Daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyuuuuuuummmmmm. He didn’t just throw shade. He threw Lemondade!
 

It is interesting. Clients and escorts have the same problems. Escorts are having a hard time with dealing with flakey clients and clients are having a hard time dealing with flakey providers.

Exactly the bottom feeders of the gay social pyramid, thanks for your honesty.

It means, “I want to have more people click on my profile”
 
As a top, I just avoid them. I don’t care if I’m missing out. You’re either versatile or you’re not.

Well, that’s why I’ve created FLAKES OF RENTMEN on twitter to put review and warning to these kind of characters. Personally, Rentmen has always been a very flaky site compared to all the predecessors. It’s just become more known and popular. Now, it’s become more popular than ever, and now is the time to be more vigilant than ever.

All of the sudden misspelled words, U instead of "you" as normal and demanding thuggish folks texting escorts...
 
Did this people just crawled out of Backpage?
 
How much for a naked massage if I touch your cock?
 
You don't do massage... how much to fuck?

I think you're not going to have a very fun time if you keep getting upset at what's happening, or if you keep searching for the "logic" behind it all. I personally have experienced many of the things you've mentioned (as I'm sure many of the working fellows have), and I sometimes find they seem to come and go; at times, there are more oddball questions and flakes than others. This is part of the business and I would assert that nearly every business on earth has the time wasters, the people who don't read, the people who communicate ineffectively, etc. To me, part of the work we do is dealing with these things.
 
Essentially, you can be right or you can be happy.

I have a regular client that will book me for 3 nights. Other than discussing places to stay while he is in town, we tend to spend most our time in the hotel room and only venturing out for lunch or dinner. It never hurts to have a few details organized in advance... IMO...

My partner (a civilian), although only 51, is struggling with getting older. It's further compounded by the passing of his father and ill health of his mother, and it's causing him to behave irrationally at times. I think we all will wrestle with aging as gay men, and hopefully all will find the way to learn, accept, and adapt to that reality as we all age. I will say this, though: gay men need to be more supportive to each other as a community than I believe we are... IMO....

I think straight men have a hard time judging the sexual attractiveness of men, because they are not used to looking at men that way. They tend to compare themselves to other men along a different set of parameters: physical strength, athletic ability, money, power, etc. Gay men, on the other hand, tend to observe other men's physical attractiveness first--just as straight men's first observation about women is their physical attractiveness--so they can't help comparing themselves to the men they find sexually attractive, and as they age, they can't help feeling themselves less desirable on that account. Straight men are aware that women value other things in men above their physical image, so the loss of their looks as they age doesn't matter as much to them psychologically as it does to gay men.

If one's life has centered around hanging out at the bar, those places that youngsters first go to cavort, then I can imagine how aging is extra hard on that kind of gay man's life.
 
Perhaps one can work on their personality. Or put down that cocktail or twinkie and go for a hike.
 

Why does one need to "fade out?" I wouldn't equate acquiring an internal locus of control with fading out. Look at all those powerful, influential old guys in DC-Mueller, Dowd, Kelly, etc. You think they've come to terms with "fading out?" I doubt it.

For many of us gay life is a cruel life to age in. A few gay men age very attractively but generally, it is a very youth-oriented life. Even if you're able to stay youthful in mind, the outward appearance is what you are often judged by. Harshly.
 
Not uncommon to gay life, the real test is to stay inwardly and outwardly happy. It's all too common to get bitter and/or depressed as life begins to dim. Fading out gracefully is not easy to do. But hard as it is to do you must. Not for your popularity but for your own inner spirit. You owe it to yourself to stay as healthy as possible both physically and mentally.
 
My own thing is to keep close friends of all ages, to travel, and to keep projects going that keep me physically active. But yup, many times I get so irritated with some people I wanna rip them a new asshole. That's life.
