We're actually not supposed to cite specifics in the forum. I haven't met with him. However, in communications I have found him to be a bit aggressive and abrasive. I think that is the same story you see in the threads.

Travel restrictions are a little rough right now, but I'd go to Spain, Greece, Italy. I guess it's starting to get hot there now maybe but I really enjoyed my time in Valencia years ago. Definitely would love to return as soon as I can.

I'm liking Anderson Cooper so far. I think Robin Roberts will do fantastic. I miss Alex tremendously but really hope the show can go on with a new guest host.

I have a gay friend who lived in Dubai for 1 1/2 years for work. He wasn't an escort, but I'd be very careful. They have very strict laws against homosexual relations there and they do go after foreigners. In 2017, a gay British man was arrested and jailed for "touching another man on the hip." My friend says they also monitor and censor the internet and mobile phones there and use your data for arrests. He basically was celibate while he lived there but fortunately his job had decent vacation time, so he'd travel to Israel or Greece to hook up with guys. My friend said he was especially cautious after an Emirati he knew found an inactive dating profile and tried to extort money from him. That ended up causing him to leave Dubai altogether. Here is another NYTimes story about the very strict rules they have with Shariah Law and incidents when they went after foreigners. In short, Dubai, the UAE in general and much of the Middle East is not for amateurs. I'd be very careful not only as an escort but as a gay man in general (or a single woman. I have another friend who lived there briefly with her now husband and they had to pretend they were already married for her to literally just go to the grocery store).

I guess there is a fetish for everyone, but yeah I'm definitely not interested in that at all. Dress up and meth up I guess?

Interesting..I saw his ad recently as well. I don't think he's been in Denver for too long. He's definitely handsome but some of these younger, newer guys are a bit picky/odd. I had another, similar experience with a newer guy in Denver as well. Truly it's their loss.

Sometimes the guests do even more than talk to each other. But yes another reason why no phones/cameras. ?

Back when I was living with my parents when I first started this hobby, I'd host at a bathhhouse. But with COVID I don't think that's as much of an option anymore. Depending on where you live there can be some pretty cheap hotels. If you look at some of these apps like Hotels Tonight or Hotels.Com you can find many sub $100 a night options. I just did a long road trip and while most of the hotels were in more rural areas, I found a nice place in Oakland for only $90 a night. When I visited NYC last Labor Day weekend, I found a hotel in Queens for $75. With not much business travel happening, and even tourist business somewhat limited, you might be surprised by the rates you'll find now in even typically "expensive" cities.

Hi Nate..I'd be interested in getting on this contact list and being updated for the event. It's quite likely that I won't be able to attend Palm Springs next year but might be able to go to the DC forum meetup instead. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Those pics look interesting. I'll have to check it out next time.

Thanks gentlemen for a fabulous weekend! Had so much fun getting to know everyone and putting faces to names. Hope to connect again sometime soon!

I used to meet with this really hot, muscled Brazilian guy that once lived in Denver. I don't normally go for the muscled guys but damn! He no longer escorts and doesn't even live in the US any more but we're still friends on social media. Somehow he's gotten even more cut and muscled than when we used to get together. Makes me miss those days for sure. Haha.

I don't think you'll have any definitive answers. But I think part of the success of an escort relates to finding a "niche" that sets you a part from others in the market. To me that would be pretty difficult in a city like New York, LA or Las Vegas (or any city that has more than say 10 pages of Rent.Men ads) where there are established escorts that have pretty strong identities and lots of regular clients. In that regard I think some of the more mid-size cities could be appealing because in many cases you would stand out a bit more among the sea of ads. I live in Denver and we typically have 3-4 pages of ads, allowing one to really kind of browse through the whole selection and seeing what's out there. Plus I feel like because there is 3-4 pages of ads, that must mean there is enough demand for both local and traveling escorts. And if a city has very few ads that maybe suggests there is just not a lot of clients there (but perhaps there are and they will appreciate you visiting). I don't think even what I said is definitive but hopefully it maybe helps a little bit. I am a client and travel a lot to different cities and have talked to many escorts about the business, so that's kinda what I'm basing this on.

I am going to Joshua Tree NP tomorrow morning at about 9AM. I have an NP parks pass so if anyone wants to go, I'm happy to take them, leaving from Canyon Club. I will check my in-box tomorrow morning for PMs if you're interested. Thanks!

I have met with HottMike. PM for details if you'd like.

I'm also considering going to Joshua Tree. Either Saturday or Sunday morning.

Thanks David. I think this sounds lovely. I will be coming in on Friday and likely could attend for a bit. Should we just text you for the address when we're in town or what do you prefer?

Thanks for all you do around here Dave. And I was just thinking how we will definitely need to have some kind words and toasts to memorialize the great Daddy during some of this meet-up.

Interesting details. Thanks Jarrod. I did see you were in town. Glad you had a good experience this time around. Yeah Glendale is a weird location because it really is just a handful of hotels, apartments, a Target and some strip clubs along Colorado Boulevard. It's not very big at all so surprising to see people in it, but understanding when it makes that your default. Cherry Creek I could see make more sense because it's considered "upscale" so certainly there might be some clients looking for that kind of thing. Actually a lot of apartments in Glendale like to pretend they are in Cherry Creek to fool people that don't know any better. Haha. Thanks again for the detailed information. I was really thinking that Rent.Men must have changed their location settings seeing all of these random locations pop up. Glad to confirm that is the case and I will be cognizant of that as I am about to do a two-week road trip.

What terrible news. RIP to an incredible man. Hope the rest of us can continue his amazing legacy.

Damn. I will now!

Thanks Shawn. Also you're reminding me that I need to get over to Atlanta sometime to meet with you. Such a handsome dude.

Ooh I love teriyaki chicken places! Healthier but still delicoius. I'll definitely check this one out.

Thanks. And you're able to input whatever address you want basically? It doesn't have to be GPS or city center? That's what I've been seeing I think, but just not sure how much control escorts on Rent.men have over their locations. Sounds like quite a lot acually.

That QAnon documentary on HBO is truly terrifying. Mostly that people believe such obvious crap.
