I reached out to him back in 2018 as I was dipping my toe in to this and just as (I think) he was getting started. We had a pleasant conversation after he gave me his WhatsApp number, he asked for a picture, which I declined, and we arranged the date. He blocked me on WhatsApp and RM a few hours later. In retrospect, I probably reached out to schedule too far in advance of my trip (I think I arranged it about two weeks in advance) and l think I looked at his profile again after arranging the date. My guess is he got skittish and assumed that I wasn’t serious. He advertises on another platform and I’ve thought about trying again there, but have found other distractions on Parisian escapades.

I'm not sure I understand your question., so I'll answer the one I think you're asking: Can you use a burner app to generate a number that can be used on WhatsApp and the like? Yes, but it depends on what burner app you use. You need to generate the burner number, then register the number on WhatsApp. FWIW, I do wish that more US providers used WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal.

Not a provider, but rates aren’t posted by US providers because RM won’t let them. Not sure where you live, but if it’s in the US, that’s why can’t see rates. As for WhatsApp, you can download an app that will let you text a WhatsApp number without putting the number into your address book. The Android app is called WhatsDirect. The iOS one is Dialer for WhatsApp.

Formerly known as and discussed as HungIrishXXL and HungIrishDanny. I did not have a chance to meet him.

Did anything come of your conversation?

Yes. RM link is: https://rent.men/LiamV He used to go by Romani and has been discussed on the board under that name. Occasional poster as well.

I was in London a few weeks ago and looked at him several times because tall, ginger, and British are my three weaknesses. I didn't pull the trigger though because of the recency of the ad, the lack of reviews, and the uninspired profile. It looks like he's added a few more pics in the last couple weeks though.

I don't think the correct conclusion to draw from an iMessage that gets delivered as a text (i.e. that goes from blue to green) is that your number was blocked. iMessages are just text messages that are routed through Apple's servers rather than over the carriers'. The color just shows what route it took. I'm on a thread with two college friends, two of us use iPhones and the other uses an Android for his cell service but also uses an iPad. Messages that he sends from his iPad are delivered as iMessages and appear blue, the ones from his cell aren't and appear green.

Fair enough. A better way of phrasing it would be, if there was no financial incentive, I don't think he'd be having sex with men.

Here's the link in the non-beta version of RM for those who are having trouble: https://rent.men/TheDerekJones To answer the question, no. But as someone who has watched his videos for a certain porn site, I would be/am very tempted. My general impression is that he's very straight--he's married with kids--but would likely be interested in making sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

Definitely a lot better in some areas. Reminds me a bit of the Romeo interface, with better functionality. Also a little bit of the RM Messnger app which I’m more blah on. Better search function in some areas, adding to/removing from the buddy list is more intuitive, interestingly, it allows clients to delete previous reviews they’ve previously submitted (curious whether providers have the direct ability to delete/hide reviews). The functionality on a computer seems off though. Back function does not work well.

Moved out here from New England almost 20 years ago to see another part of the country and because I got tired of the snow and cold. I won't lie, November through February are less than ideal from a rain and lack of daylight perspective, but the rain starts to taper off in March, daylight obviously starts to come back in mid-January, and July to mid-September are glorious. This is exactly why he needs to make a visit in the PNW.

My turn today. It looks like he's in London at the moment. I haven't messaged him at all and I know I didn't look at his profile, and he wouldn't be able to tell if I did. Not my type in any event. Introduced himself as a dom top. If I had to guess why I got selected: I finally wrote a review yesterday for a London provider I saw two weeks ago. I'm guessing he checks competitor's reviews and then messages clients based on what they've written about previous providers. I guess that's one way to promote yourself.

*snort* We're a little more rustic two to three hours south. More concerned about the character of coffee. Summer is at least three weeks longer down here too. 😉

As you consider a West Coast tour, I’d encourage you to look into the Pacific Northwest. Never rains in the summer.

The pictures in the first ad are of former Sean Cody/Men.com model, Jarek/Jarec Wentworth. Last I heard, Jarec was still in the US and hadn’t emigrated to Ireland, so the first ad is likely a fake.

Has anyone met him? https://rent.men/Shane_Erickson Here’s an old thread about him. I’m curious if there’s been more recent interactions since he’s been advertising since last year.

Twink, but suggested in case you want to make an exception. https://rent.men/IrishJosh_XXL

I try to make sure that they never have to ask, but I also usually most to keep to regulars. Usually, I just leave payment in a visible place in an envelope and they take the envelope when they leave. When I tried this with someone new a few weeks ago, he ignored the envelope—but never asked for his fee—and was putting on his jacket in my entryway to leave and I had to hand him his fee.

I’m a big fan of DanielXXL. Very friendly and disarming. Pictures are very accurate. Send me a PM If you want to know more.

I usually see the same guys over and over, so I use the visible envelope method. When I’ve had providers ask upfront, it’s been fine, although on a personal level, I found it off-putting when one provider I’d seen before counted it in front of me. My general view when seeing new is to follow the provider’s lead. By the time I see someone, I’ve tried to find out info about them. I don’t see guys who have multiple allegations on RM or here of having done runners. So at that point, I’m not concerned about getting ripped off. Waiting until the end can be awkward too. The first time I met one of my regulars, he initiated everything pretty quickly, we moved locations, and I left the donation in my jacket in the living room. Afterwards, he followed me back to my jacket, which I didn’t think about until he visibly relaxed when I pulled out an envelope.

Brief update, in case he catches anyone else's eye. Try as I might, I wasn't able to meet with this guy while I was in my area because our schedules didn't align. He was extremely responsive to messages and very upfront about his time constraints. No red flags to my mind in terms of the communication.

Yes.

I think @Hung_Cody explained the issue here a few years back. Basically he was entering the United States through a visa waiver program (basically a program that allows citizens of certain countries, think Western Europe and Canada to visit without getting a tourist visa) and working (shooting adult entertainment for payment) while visiting on the visa waiver program. Since that's verboten and the authorities found out, he can no longer enter through the visa waiver program and it sounds like he has no realistic hope for a tourist or work visa for some period of years.
