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.

Do the apps allow you to use a burner number to message people?

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.

I am wondering why most providers do not post their rate on their profiles. For most guys, it seems like the rate is fixed, so why not put it there? I understand for some who travel so much it is easier not to put but others who stay in the same city, it is a lot easier not to ask everyone for their rate....Also, whatsapp requires us to add them into addressbook to text them, so I don't wanna add so many numbers in my phone just to figure out someone's rate...

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.

I spoke to him on the phone and he seemed confused when I asked, please, to talk to "Ethan", which he then said wasn't his actual name. An odd way to start a conversation with a client LOL! 

Did anything come of your conversation?

Link doesn’t work. Is this guy an escort for discussion in the Deli?

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.

Nothing better than a hot ginger.  This man would be at the TOP of my list!!!

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.

This isn’t exactly like this post, but I have a client who I enjoyed meeting with once and he’s fucking hot 🔥. But he’s also (straight) married. 
 

He’s annoyed me a couple of times hitting me up when I’m in his city. Or we’ve tried to plan. But then he’s not able to meet for whatever reason. I’ve noticed on a couple occasions he’s blocked MY number (iMessages go from blue to green) and then seen me in town and maybe unblocked me and reached out to me. But it’ll still just be to fantasize and see about me versus booking.
 

 

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.

“Very straight”? Into anal, kissing, oral, boyfriend experience etc. I guess being married with kids makes him “very straight”. 🙄🙄🙄

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.

Anybody with experience with Derek Jones?

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.

Wow you guys really love where you live up there 😆 🤣 

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.

I love that your ad lists you as versatile now, so a bottom like myself can finally partake of your services, handsome!  Can’t wait until your next trip to NYC!

This is exactly why he needs to make a visit in the PNW.

He messaged me out of the blue too, I don't think I've looked at his profile, at least not recently. Asked me for a picture too. 

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.

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. 😉

Yea I ended up moving to Fort Lauderdale this past spring. I got tired of what I call the “doom gloom” of northern winters and early spring where it snows all the time or when it’s 40 degrees and the sun hasn’t made an appearance in the sky in over a week. Current temp in Ft Lauderdale is 76 degrees F on the second day of December….if you need me I’ll be working on my tan 🤣….or riding my bicycle….or in the gym lifting

However during rainy season in Florida over the summer months I do like to tour the country and bring my road and gravel bikes with me. This upcoming summer you’ll be able to catch me in places like Chicago, NYC, Boston, DC, Philly, and most parts of the Midwest where I like to tour ride big cities on 40-60 mile rides. I’ve been considering a west coast tour as well since I haven’t done much exploring out there yet in this biz. Big fan of the forum here! It’s been a great resource for me.

 

 

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

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.

After a session recently with a regular client we were chatting for a while afterwards. I was dressed and almost out the door and he said “are you ok with a bank transfer?”. I’d genuinely forgotten because I was distracted by the chat etc. He has my bank details so I’ve no doubt he’d have sent the payment anyway even if we’d both forgotten. It’s nice when the relationship is so natural that payment is almost an afterthought. 
I know this topic is “ask an escort “ but I’m interested in the view of clients; how does making payment after a session influence how you feel about the session? Is there a way of the provider asking for payment that makes things easier? 

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.

HARD disagree on that one.  From a hiring standpoint, I wanna set his mind at ease and get money outta the way so we can move on from the payment portion of the session and enjoy the massage.  At the very least, put it on the night stand, mantle, or in the bathroom for him--he doesn't necessarily need to pocket it right at the start.  If he knows where it is, perhaps counts it, but leaves it there until the session's over?  That's fair, IMO.

When I'm escorting, well...I had my original client (first one who ever hired me and would see me twice a year) NOT pay me after three hours with him one time.  And this was after three or four years of seeing him.  He just said he didn't have the money, gave no other explanation.  I drove two hours up to his cottage from my place in the city during a thunderstorm for him.  He was deceitful.  What a way to end a great thing (he obviously thought it was great as well, since he still contacts me once or twice a year to have a session with him--nope!).  I had continued to make an exception for him over the years because I was new at this when I met him and I trusted him (every client after him, it was payment up front--and everyone else was cool with that), but that was a mistake.

I can understand not e-transferring your escort the full amount until they're standing in front of you, but when paying them cash?  Always, always cash up front at the start of the session or overnight.

I had one or two clients try to say that it was their policy to not pay until the session was finished.  How do I know they're not just trying to get my time for free ?  You have apps and sites for that, if you don't wanna pay up front.

Yes, I know clients' fears are that the provider will take the money and run.  But for any provider who's serious about this biz, they wouldn't do that because--besides most just being decent human beings and happy to do their jobs--the risk is far greater to them (they can receive bad reviews, be reported to Rent.Men multiple times, be exposed, etc) than the risk of $200 to $300 to the client of potentially having a scam artist escort one time (which is unlikely to begin with).

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.

The key being that he was working and not visiting. That was verboten. But I assume he wasn’t found in violation for making porn. Any kind of work was prohibited. Am I correct?

Yes.

Hmm. The article says nothing about Gabriel having visa problems relating to his line of work. He merely says it could happen. The comment that he may have gotten into trouble for overstaying a work visa makes sense though.

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.
