I am glad for the new rule as it makes it harder for providers to create accounts for bogus reviews.
as much as I pay providers, the cost of RM is very reasonable.

I just had an overnight with a provider I first contacted a year ago. Nothing came of our brief conversation at that time but when he appeared in my area on his RM ad I contacted him. We had a great exchange of info about ourselves and I felt confident in going ahead with inviting him to my home.
I had read all his reviews which were very positive and other info including a blog site he has. Well the short of it is that he more than lived up to my expectations and we had a great time. He even helped me make a delicious breakfast!

(Again, if this is considered "off-topic," kindly inform me and I'll delete it.)
PRESENTATION:
In addition to analyzing reviews, I always analyze a provider's ad in its entirety.
I begin by zooming in to their photos and analyzing the details. If they have an interview, I read it. If they have social media, I analyze that too. The entire time I'm doing this, I'm judging them. Are they here because they want to be here? How intelligent are they? Do they have health and hygiene standards? Do they have boundaries? How much effort have they put into all of this? Do they appear to have at least basic morals/values?

COMMUNICATION:
Now that you've completed your research, it's time to initiate contact. First, let's put ourselves in their shoes.
Many providers, myself included, receive hundreds of spam messages per day. Bots, trolls, flakes, harassers, stalkers, con artists, LEOs attempting to entrap them, other providers “booking them up” so they won’t have any availability… They have to deal with just as much, if not considerably more, nonsense as you do.
If you want a non-desperate provider to respect you, then you have to respect them too. If you treat them like merchandise, they're going to treat you like an ATM.

Rather than:
hey/hi/sup/how are you/you available
–or–
How much do you charge for [insert any sex act here]?
Try something along the lines of:
Hi there. My name's [insert name/alias]. I found your number on RM.
I enjoy [insert preferences/activities here].
I found your profile intriguing, so I figured I'd reach out. If you'd like to connect, I'd be more than happy to gift you a donation for your time. Just let me know how much you'd like for X hour(s)/day(s), and we'll go from there. Thanks.

CLOSING:
There'll always be risk in this industry—for both of us. Clients will lose money and providers will lose time. Some will lose both. All we can do is figure out where our limits are, do our research and treat people how we want to be treated.
If the majority behaves professionally and respectfully, regardless of how others behave, it'll become the new standard.
I'm hungry and lost my train of thought. Happy 4th, everyone!
 

PART 1 of 2
Some of my patrons regularly entrust me with procuring additional talent. Here's my two cents.
If I'm violating any rules, please inform me and I'll simply delete this. I don't wish to hi-jack the conversation.

REVIEWS:
For those of you who aren't aware, you can view the reviewers' profiles. Simply click on their usernames. You may have to do some scrolling to find it, but every profile on RM publicly lists the date that it was created. Make judgements accordingly.
Clients can choose to display some, all or none of the reviews that they've given on their profiles.
Some clients are comfortable discussing explicit details with others, most aren't. Remember—the members of this forum constitute a fraction of the overall market. Most of my clients weren't even aware of its existence, until I shared it with them.
Occasionally, reviewers will leave comments to the webmaster, when submitting a review. In sex-worker-friendly countries, those comments are published. In non-sex-worker-friendly countries, those comments are hidden. To read those comments, log in to a VPN and connect to the Netherlands or any other sex-worker-friendly country. I use ProtonVPN, but there's dozens to choose from.
- - - - -
A client may review a provider only for in-person meetings and pre-paid services. Reviews given for any other reason are subject to removal.
When submitting a negative review, it's imperative that you remain concise and objective. Do not direct your frustrations towards the webmaster, or bombard them with a novel. If the client is emotional and irrational and the provider is calm and collected, the webmaster will be inclined to side with the provider.
If you have relevant photos, screenshots and/or documents, send them to the webmaster via RM Messenger after submitting your review.

@Enronnja, when I first started hiring, I was stupid. I trusted an escort before we met. Paid him a lot of money up front and wrote a review on RM before meeting. I’ve since learned, of course. But the point is that the scams are real. And they’re more common than many want to accept. That’s why I still come back to insisting that a minimal exchange of some substance happen between me and any escort. If he thinks it’s time wasting, he’s losing out on my money. Maybe he can get other money easier, but it’s not going to be mine. Just like escorts will hedge bets to not waste their time, I’m heading bets to not waste my money. I was burnt once and it’s not happening to me again. 

Leomuscle had 44 positive reviews before he scammed me. It wasn’t until I made an alarm here and wrote a true review he abandoned that account and created a new one under the alias ‘thebenefit’. He’s now getting 4/5 star reviews under that. This means he’s rebuilding his reputation to scam others again. Now that you have to be a premium subscriber to submit reviews on RM, it makes the system have less integrity. I hope everyone interested in this hobby visits here first. 

Mmmmm cupcakes!

Does anyone have experience with Dimitrios?  Has anyone seen him?  I can't tell if he's new or has renamed his screen name.

Enjoyed a nice relaxing massage, Marc uses hot stones and a theragun throughout the session. Mixes medium pressure with light carressing which made me a bit ticklish. At the end while still lying face down he used his muscular thighs to spread my legs apart to give him more access to play with my balls. I flipped over, he played with my nipples while giving me a HE, there was MT as well but he never did get hard. Ended the session in the shower with Marc.

He might be in a very good mood at that very minute! Let us know how it goes

He was hot. Massage was relaxing. Hard to book him. 

!?!$500!?! A six pack of Heniken beer, a box of Cheez-its, cab fare and I'm all yours, babe...just keep the lighting low, really low.

Gentlemen, a reminder that someone's HIV status is personal information, and disclosing it here when they have not disclosed it publicly themselves is not permitted under Forum guidelines.

Very sorry to hear about your sister - condolences to you

He canceled 10 mins before we were supposed to meet. Said he ate something that did not agree with him, disappointing. 

I have used that excuse so many times calling in sick to work on a Monday morning. 

Taking the plunge on Sunday, hopefully he lives up to his profile

Looking forward to your report from the field 😉

I had the same complaint just few weeks ago. Disappointed! 

I'm going to meet him tomorrow, so let's see for ourselves!

Not need to be sorry.  That's a very valid concern and one that any masseur or escort should always take care of.  I always ask and remind them about that before coming over.  And, as I've written in other posts, that was never an issue with Rainer when I hired him.

Yes sorry but it matters to me during my time with guys im hiring 

Good massage. He is all about upsell tho and needs to clean up down there😐

I had a great experience with him while in Philadelphia.  Would repeat.

I have hired Ranier many times over the years. He’s an excellent masseur, mixing a perfect blend of therapeutic and sensual strokes. He’s very handsome, intriguing eye contacts and always kind.
