My… and here I thought there was transparency in politics.

I saw LJ last year while he was traveling. While some say his massage skills are hit or miss, they were excellent for my requirements. He was kind, engaging, and eager to please. He's VGL in person - photos don't do him justice. I recall that booking required some patience and persistence, but in my opinion, it was absolutely worth it. Good luck!

You are such a charming young man! Your polite and thoughtful interactions with your fans are what I like most… though your look and glowing endorsements don’t hurt either 😉. I’m hoping to take a detour through Austin around your visit dates. If it works out, I’ll be in touch.

Semantics and definition of a business aside, consent is absolute and I never stated otherwise. My point was narrower - clear upfront expectations of potential clientele may help potential clients determine if they should even approach a particular provider or move on to someone else. Your time availability as stated in your RM profile (8am - 10pm local) is a perfect example of this. I know before contacting you that your off time is between 10pm and 8am the next day. However, I wouldn’t have known a photo was required or an age limit was set if I hadn’t read it here in this forum from persons that didn’t take/make the cut. In my view, clarity saves needless exchanges that oftentimes don’t go well. As the cliche goes, clear is kind. No advice given, just setting the record straight when being accused of setting aside human dignity and consent via a Taco Bell analogy… for asking questions of all things. Moving on.

I agree providers have every right to refuse service to anyone. The most successful ones, however, tend to be direct about the clients they prefer. What irks me is the lack of transparency here: an age requirement that appears and disappears, aesthetic preferences delivered with a wink. We can all get rejected on Grindr or Scruff for free. But when a potential client follows every step, including submitting a photo and is willing to pay the requested fee, presumably stays respectful and direct, and still gets turned away for no clear reason, it doesn't just reek of hookup culture… it's simply bad business. This is a business no?

My two favorite places. However, I'm curious about your security photo screening process. I have such a terrible eye, I’d probably end up picking Patrick Bateman. In all seriousness, I understand the safety concerns, but at 6’4” and 215 lbs of muscle and bone, ‘helpless’ isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind…

If he looks anything like his photos, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a $500/hr guy. What’s unusual is that while he lists himself as straight, he still takes the time to detail quite a few 'intos'…something that isn’t typical for those fly-by-night 'straight dude' profiles. This gives me a little hope that he’s actually an Adonis guy who knows the score.

I have to say that CoM is simply not the right place for providers to advertise. Far too often it turns into exactly what we’re seeing in this thread: a provider getting defensive in front of potential clients, which ends up harming their own brand…usually unintentionally. The fact that these threads are public on the internet means the reach… and negative impacts may be unfathomable. My unsolicited suggestion is that providers treat CoM like a scalpel, not a mallet. Drop in occasionally to say hello to your fans, answer questions you’re comfortable answering publicly, and keep the actual advertising on the paid websites where it belongs. The few providers who remain consistently active here seem to have quickly learned that arguing with or disparaging a whole forum of clients is bad for both their mental health and their bottom line.

I’m getting whiplash here. I suppose this is an extreme case of YMMV. If he’s not into you… he’s really not into you.

Just saw this guy pop up in NYC. Definitely my cup of tea… but $500/hr just for cuddling? Must be one hell of a little spoon for that rate. I don’t know why his current ad has position “Verse/bttm” when clearly has prohibitive issues with sex. Probably mostly a MW queen… do a few stage poses in the nude - get caressed here and there, collect $500 rinse, repeat. Some would pay a pretty penny to just watch this one flex.

For what it’s worth, his current number has a flag against it on one of the number review blogs. Basically claims that he’s older than he claims (pretty common thing on RM) and alleges something else that’s hard to decipher before calling him a “creep”. I don’t know how to post screenshots here, but you guys can probably find the review fairly easily. I certainly don’t take random phone number notes as gospel, but it is a data point nonetheless. I’m neutral on this provider. He answered the RM interview thoughtfully, but only has one RM review from a person who reviewed others. DallasSkye also apparently has fairly recent pics since joining in 2020… means he’s at least dedicated to his craft. Can’t vouch for much else ATM.

I haven’t personally met him, but I do know that he’s been on escorting sites for years (perhaps under various names) and is probably much older than 23 if that matters to you.

This provider is supposedly excellent once the appointment is actually booked. What isn’t clear is whether he still demands client photos upfront or what his standards are now for him to begrudgingly permit himself to take $400 an hour from you 🙄. I’d hire him in an instant if he’s as good as the reviews claim. What I won’t do is play coy screening games with some muscular diva. That attitude isn’t cute, and it’s not what I’m paying for. If I choose to engage, I expect direct, professional interactions…no mind games, no attitude-period.

I saw Salomonn a couple years ago, though I can’t recall now if it was for a massage or something else. What really sticks with me is the long scar running straight down the center of his abdomen… It triggered an unexpectedly strong, negative physical reaction in me. Don’t get me wrong; he was interactive, friendly, punctual, and well-endowed. Still, I was on the verge of nausea every time that scar came into view. None of this was his fault, of course. As best as I can remember, I powered through the session, treated him well, and fought mightily to stay engaged, but the whole thing became a blur thanks to my private battle to keep dinner from making a reappearance in front of this gorgeous man. I’ve never had that problem before while hiring, but then again, I had never encountered someone up close with such a large post-surgical scar. I really would like to try again with him, but probably won’t since I can’t trust that I won’t have another visceral reaction to his scar.

There must have been a serious misunderstanding for the conversation to go sideways that quickly. My rule of thumb is to be sure I’m ready to book before I contact any provider… then secondly, I initiate contact with my booking requirements in as few messages as possible… I typically lead with time, date and venue I’m available and a brief overview of what I’m looking for and the timespan of my desired appointment and an inquiry about the cost of my desired service. I iron out the details once booking is confirmed in as few follow-up texts as possible (I avoid one-liners whenever possible)… so my responses are typically brief, but information dense. Providers receive many messages on a daily basis, and probably not from very serious people… so I’m mindful about my approach to catch their attention quickly and efficiently. I’ve rarely had issue with my approach unless the provider I’m reaching out to is certifiable… but those individuals typically don’t get contacted if I’m faithful to my vetting process.
