Not a provider, but in general, tipping is a US-only phenomenon so I’d venture to say it’s not the norm for massages in the UK.

I met him in November. Feel free to PM.

I think this is correct. I’ll also add that “discounts for hot” are a myth that certain sex workers encourage as a sales tactic. I’ve seen ads in the past where the worker suggests that there’ll be a discount for hot, a certain body type, or hung, but given that the worker doesn’t have a listed rate, a client has no way of telling whether he’s getting a discount! Also, given the number of guys on Rentmen I who also have Grindr or Scruff profiles for recreational use, I doubt that there’s much motivation to discount for a “hot client” when there’s ready access to whatever they consider “hot” at their fingertips.

My guess is that if you're still paying the same amount you were paying before 2020, you're likely seeing someone you saw before 2020 and are getting a loyalty discount. The escort I see regularly has not informed me a price increase. It wouldn't surprise me if he's asking new clients for more. The masseur that I see regularly has increased his price. Same in the UK/Eurozone. Before 2020, providers there usually asked for 150-200 currency units. Now, almost everyone starts at 200

While we often use price as a proxy for quality, that’s not always the case. I live in a mid-sized West Coast city. Since I started hiring in 2019, most guys that I’ve hired here ask for at least $250 with $300 being the standard. I hired a hung, handsome, ginger muscle top in 2019 who asked for $200. I had a fantastic time.

Oddly, my experience is that I’m more likely to be asked for a picture In Europe than in the US. I’ve never actually been asked in the US. I have been asked several times in Europe.

I met him a few months ago. He is very tall, very sweet, and very large. Feel free to PM.

I’ve met him. Will PM you. He is stunning. Insane shape too.

I’m sorry, but I don’t follow. Particularly in the U.S. where the default is “Call for rates,” it’s unreasonable to say that “if you’re not booking an appointment, why are you contacting?” There are lots of fair reasons to make contact that aren’t a guaranteed booking, including rate (where not stated), position, safety, particular limits, “are your travel plan set in stone,” availability, etc. If a potential client contacts you and says that they would like to book an appointment at time X and you’ve already scheduled another client at that time, I assume that you wouldn’t say that you’re double-booked. Or that if you proposed time Y to the disappointed client who was unavailable at that time, you wouldn’t say that he’d booked you for time Y. In any event, this is a tacit acknowledgment that contacting ≠ booking.

I see his WhatsApp number.

Discussed here: He has the @Hung_Cody seal of approval.

I’ve hired in London, Paris, and Amsterdam and my ethnicity wasn’t an issue. The men that I’ve hired have been Irish, English, French, Brazilian, Dutch, Serbian/Venezuelan, and Polish. Happy to chat via PM if you’d like.

They sell a travel version that is airport security compliant.

Met him a couple of times. Very good-looking and charming. https://app.rent.men/LeMasquiat

I’ll keep $20 in mind as an appropriate amount the next time I’m quoted “rate plus tip” for the donation. In March, I was in a Paris pharmacy awaiting a Covid test to head home. For the first 15 minutes, absolute silence. In walks another group of Americans who take no note that no one else in the pharmacy is talking. Another 45 minutes of hearing every detail of their trip, their connecting flights the next day, and the charms of Salt Lake City. An English friend once told me that the English (or at least Londoners) seem to like American accents, which is funny since Americans (myself included) are over the moon for English accents.

I find the payment component awkward overall, so I usually put the provider’s fee in an envelope on my nightstand or hand him an envelope. I usually do not include a tip because, at least in the US, part of the rationale for tipping is to supplement the wages of employees who usually are not making minimum wage. Because the provider has set his rate, tipping isn’t on the table in my view. As others have said, if I have a good time and we seem to mesh, I will make an effort to see the provider regularly. That being said, I have tipped one provider (in Paris) who accepted me for an outcall, but quoted me his incall rate. I did that because we’d had a previous meeting that had blown me away and he had volunteered to accept a lower rate than he normally charged.

I'm afraid not. Planning on being back in London for a few days just after Labor Day myself so I may give him a look-see then.

Headed to NYC in a couple of weeks and am considering potential new friends. This one gentleman caught my eye and I didn't see any discussion of him here. Adamantium - Male Escort - New York City, NY | Rent.Men Has anyone met him? If so, any feedback would be appreciated.

Sometimes. For example, with some providers who advertise on both Hunqz and RM, they will charge more if you mention that you saw their profile on RM versus Hunqz. For example, one provider I saw in Paris a few years ago listed his RM rate at €200 and his Hunqz rate at €150. He’s since aligned them at the RM rate. The rationale as I’ve heard it (from other members on the forum) is that Americans are more likely to use RM whereas Hunqz sees more European use.

If I'm reading his ad correctly, he's only seeing previous clients and his ad definitely reads "Not Available" as of today. If you still want to give it a shot--and haven't tried it already--maybe reach out to him through RM messenger. It looks like he's still checking that.

In context, I took it to mean that he doesn't use Rentmen (or any other platform for that matter) in England.

Workers' compensation claim!

Just piping in to say that there seem to be a lot of assumptions along the way that may not be warranted. For one, I'm not sure why "no response to a thank you message" means "insulted by the lack of a tip." For starters, was there any discussion or hint that a tip might be desired or was expected? You're also assuming that he's seen your message and that, even if he did, he didn't just forget to respond to it. With one of the providers that I see regularly, I think I once saw him on a Sunday, thanked him by text for coming by, and he responded four or five days later, with a brief note that he'd just spotted the message.
