He's definitely more of an escort I thought. He used to advertise as such with some of the same photos in Denver but more under Rent.men He currently has an escort ad too: https://rent.men/EliXXX

It is true, but I absolutely require it if they are at either a hotel or a secured building. My bad experience actually was a direct result of just that type of place. If they can't come downstairs and meet me and "escort" me up to their room/apartment, that is a huge red flag for me and I have even walked away last minute at such a situation.

And interestingly my one terrible encounter was actually a popular and well-reviewed escort. But those bad encounters are pretty rare. More of them have been great to good.

Congrats on your retirement. Don't have anything else to say but "You got this!"

I'd be interested in attending and think I'll likely get a vaccine before then (work in education). I guess it's just wait and see mode though, huh?

Using this forum is a great idea. I found chatter about a couple men I was thinking about. One of them had better chatter than the other so I went with that guy. But yeah, sometimes you have to use your gut. I've met guys who were brand new with no reviews and they ended up working out. I do like to meet guys in public in person if I have any questions.

In other words...go for it. He's real and I think would try to show you a good time. Based on the whole living in a trailer thing, you might want to host or spring for a hotel room, but I think he's legit.

He used to live in Denver and I did try to contact him once. He ended up not getting back to me until like a day later saying that he had car issues he had to deal with. At that point I had already hired another guy and didn't really have the money to hire again so soon after. I kind of got a bit of a flaky vibe from him, but that was a couple years ago. Also sounds like he has maybe turned his life around a bit and is in a better place now. One of his reviews on RM is also a client that I have communicated with a bit in Denver and I trust his positive review.

I think you can post his RM profile here. I've definitely seen similar posts of members suggesting a RM profile's photos are dubious for whatever reason. As long as you are not posting a "review," it should be fine.

This has happened to me a few times. Maybe because Denver's gay community isn't huge, but I've definitely seen guys I've hired out and about. I've seen them at gay bars, in the park, just walking around. For me it always depends on the context. I obviously would never interrupt someone who was engaged with something: A conversation with a friend, at a job, working out, etc. But I have said hello if they were alone and not "in the zone." To me, it doesn't seem like a big deal. It's a nice way to further the networking a bit perhaps. I've become semi-friends with one guy I hired in part because I saw him at a gay bar and just started chatting.

Congrats @@marylander1940! You really are a friendly forum member that has been a font for useful information about escorts and everything else too. Thanks for your contributions to this forum. It truly wouldn't be the same without you.

Yeah maybe there is an element of that, though actually I avoid younger guys when I date/hire. I do think Ross looks better with blonde hair generally. I found his instagram and he is blonde in a lot of his more recent pics. I think his kinda shaggy haircut looks good blonde. You sorta see his hair texture a bit more than when it's darker. I don't know..I just like his blonde hair vibe more than his dark haired vibe. Though he is definitely good looking either way. I love his smile and dimples.

One of my regulars has facial hair similar to this. Once he came by clean shaven per another client's request and I legit did not find him quite as attractive. Haha. Still good looking but definitely something missing.

I like a wide variety of guys. But there is definitely something sexy to me about a guy with a nice, well-groomed goatee. I think it's maybe because I can't grow facial hair that well myself so I find it especially attractive on a hot man.

I hadn't heard of this guy until you posted, but I actually prefer him with his natural blonde hair. He looks younger, kinda like a skater/surfer dude. In the other pic with the darker hair he looks a lot older. Also maybe it's the way he is dressed to but he kinda looks almost sleazy in a way.

I've known a couple people who ended up in UAE briefly for work. None of them really liked it. It sounds like this really fake world of hotel bars and shopping malls. If you're a single woman or a gay man you can pretty much be harassed and detained at will. One of my best girlfriends lived there briefly with her fiancee (now husband) and she literally had to get written permission from him to leave the hotel complex they lived in. And there were storekeepers that would like harass her for going out without her husband. And they heavily monitor and censor the Internet as well. I would be very careful about using any kind of dating apps or escort web sites. The whole thing sounds really sketch and not worth the stress of it all.

Yeah I get what you are saying. To me, it is the violation that is problematic and in my opinion worth having a conversation. It takes trust to bring someone into your home and that trust is broken somewhat if the person takes something from you even if it doesn't have much value. I actually like what Guy suggested...giving him the shower gel as a gift. But even then I would say something like. Hey next time just ask me if you want to take something like that. Makes me feel weird when you don't. Lets him know the feelings you have about it at least.

That's very sad. This has been a hard year and this is the worst time of the year for many people. I know I've reached out to a few friends living alone (and had a few friends reach out to me). Sometimes just that little text saying, "Happy Holidays, can't wait til we get to hang out again," is what is needed. Wish the best for Chip's friends and family during this difficult time.

One of the biggest places where you can get in trouble is the United Arab Emirates. LGBT rights are very limited and the government has been known to prosecute foreigners. There have even been cases of foreigners getting arrested for simply like putting a hand on another man's leg. Now there are a lot of escort ads in Dubai (9 pages on RM!) so clearly it happens, but I would be very careful if I were visiting. Though personally, UAE's anti-gay policies really make me not want to visit at all.

Yeah..I've done two of them with escorts although in both cases it was a couple that escorts together. But I do think that some are willing to arrange that if you're interested. You see it even mentioned in their ads sometimes. At some point after COVID is over, I'd actually like to set up a group thing. Someday:p

Sorry about the theft..it feels so violating even when it's something minor. I used to drive Lyft and one of my passengers stole an ice scrapper from me. Such a stupid thing to steal but it felt bad that you willingly let someone in your car and they do that. I think it might be worth having a conversation with the escort just to clear the air and let him know how you feel about what happened. It doesn't have to be a real big deal or accusatory. Something like, "I know you stole that bodywash last time you were here and that really is very violating to me that you would do that. It's not a big deal and I would still like to meet with you, but just wanted to let you know how I felt about that. In the future, I'd honestly be happy to give you something like that if you had just asked."

I am not an escort but I do get a sense from some escorts that they do network with other escorts, especially local ones. I don't think they are super-competitive with each other and in fact I think some find it useful to know other guys in case a client wants to do a threesome or something.

I think possibly Max is asking about escorts having friendships with other escorts. I am not sure though...I also found his post a bit confusing.

Normally, I'm down to meet quite often around the holidays since I am off work for two weeks for Christmas/New Years and a week for Thanksgiving. This year unfortunately, it's been a little different because I agreed to semi-quarantine so I can have dinner with my immediate family on Christmas. So I haven't been around anyone for already nearly a week. Fortunately Christmas is on a Friday this year and I think I am going to set something up for the week after.

I would definitely consider a dinner with general discussion about careers and interests to be on the clock and pay for the escort's time. If he just is asking some general questions then that is fine. If he is a local consider it a business opportunity. Perhaps he is a potential client for you if he's looking to buy property. Of course if it gets to that point, then future dinners/conversations are really now between a realtor and his client and therefore there would be no expectation of any kind of payment for time.
