    I have a feeling he may have accidentally put his phone number where the rate is supposed to go.  Or he believes his massage skills warrant a fee that's proximate to the GDP of Andorra.

    I'm sure this is part of the reason why you have the awesome reputation that you do.

    I’m struggling to understand why providers like @Braziliancutee @Elite_XLand@SecretProvider block prospective clients viewing their profiles.
    What about prospective clients viewing your ad is a detriment to you? Is there any benefit to you from blocking? If they never book you, that’s a neutral result. If they don’t respond to an unsolicited outreach message, that’s also a neutral result.
    Why would you need to actively go out of your way to block the client profile? What benefit is it to you to do this? What positive result will such an action gain you? You know they can still view your profile when they sign out of that account, right? And when they tick the box saying don’t track my profile views. For every one of them, you may have a dozen actively ticking that box to hide their similar number and frequency of views. Would you block those tick the box people if you could do so?
    We don’t always know the connection between the client screen name and the phone number they are texting you from. They may say hi I’m xxx, username: xxxsampleusername on RentMen, but most of the time they don’t.
    If that lookie-loo client books you two years later when travels overlap, that’s a win! What’s wrong with viewing evidence that you successfully occupied space rent free for an extended time in potential clients’ minds? That’s actually a sign of good marketing.
    I understand if the prospective client were repeatedly texting you but unserious about booking, canceling last minute, no-showing, sexting, being creepy, stalking, or other problematic behavior… THEN you block them… assuming you are correctly connecting the dots between the caller/texter and profile username …but just the client viewing your profile bothers you? Come on. Show us on the doll where the client touched you. Oh wait, you can’t because you didn’t give him the chance to do so in the first place.
    We post ads in hopes that prospective clients will view it and consider hiring us. Who is to say what the motivations are of that one client that viewed you a hundred times but never contacts you or responds to your outreach message? We don’t know. Some of them will eventually book. Some of them will only ever have a quiet fantasy wank. Worst case scenario is a neutral result, with the possibility of a positive one at some point. They aren’t demanding or wasting your time. They are merely existing, and happpen to be looking at your ad. That’s neutral to me.
    By blocking clients for no apparent reason, you risk damaging your reputation. That client sees you blocked them and wonders why. He may think less of himself, or less of you, or both. He definitely won’t hire you since you’ve made it loud and clear that he is unwelcome. But he may share the negative experience with others at some point. This is a net negative result to you, your reputation, your income. You’re shooting yourself in the foot.

    I'm not sure how many - not a lot.  I found out about this site and the various provider sites almost exactly 6 years ago, and after 30+ years of thinking nobody would ever want to spend time with me in any sort of romantic way, I started to think maybe I could meet someone this way.  In those first few months I requested access to many private galleries, but very little contact beyond that and thanking them for sharing when they did.  I knew it would take time for me to follow through with a meeting and that it would need to be far from home, so I always let providers know my circumstances because I did not want to waste their time.  Some were very understanding, and others were not - which I understood and could not hold against them. 
    Then the pandemic hit and there was no way I would be able to travel and meet anyone.  I also have been concerned about STIs, and I am very risk averse.  Having been molested early in life has likely contributed to a lot of confusion, and I waffle back and forth about my worthiness to experience the fullness of human contact, and I'm probably less likely to pursue meeting anyone compared to 5 years ago when the thought was new and exhilarating.  I even lost quite a bit of weight so that I could feel less self-conscious.  At least the weight has stayed off, so becoming healthier was an unexpected silver lining to my odd journey.
    I tried to stay in periodic contact with a few providers who were particularly kind, or who confided about some of their own struggles.  There are those who are no longer on the sites, and I think about them often and hope they are doing alright.  Honesty has always been very important to me, so I have never suggested a meeting and then backed out of it.  I know providers are busy and that they have to deal with that far too often.  Perhaps one day I'll be able to bite the bullet, but if I never experience these sorts of things - aside from what happened to me many years ago - I can't complain.    Sorry for the long answer to your short question

    I'm confused by the back and forth on this issue.  I have never met with anyone, but I understand that donation amounts have increased in most places, especially since the pandemic.  And the cost of living has gone up in many places as well.  So it is understandable that donation amounts would also increase - providers can command whatever donation amount a client is willing to pay. 
    However, affordability has generally decreased across a wide range of goods and services, and many people seem to be feeling the crunch of their income not growing at the same pace as the cost of living.  I assume that is the primary problem here. 
    Things like meeting with providers has probably become less and less affordable for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean a provider needs to reduce their requested donation for their time.  If their donation amount is too high, they won't get enough business to justify the amount, and they may need to lower the amount being requested.  Simple economics. 
    But there are still many clients in high income brackets who can afford to meet with anyone and at any cost, and these individuals will continue to support the higher donation amounts that providers request.  
    It ultimately doesn't matter whether or not someone can survive on a middle income in Brazil or elsewhere.  What matters is that affordability pressures in the US and Canada have reduced the ability for many people to access time with providers.  It isn't the providers' fault - it's that the present economy has concentrated relative wealth in a smaller and smaller group of clients.

    I'd be more scared if someone's profile name included the word 'Vegan'.  I'd be afraid they would spend the entire appointment time talking about it.

    To a certain extent, posting here, even though anonymously, is a twisted form of coming out.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I know it sounds silly -- and maybe even laughable to some -- but it is somewhat cathartic and comforting at the same time.  Interestingly, it is so much easier to tell strangers (e.g. my primary care doctor, all the providers I've met, and people here) than those you love/care the most.
