I've never had any problems with credit cards on Rentmen, but I think neither my CashApp nor Venmo debit cards worked, the problem being that the charge comes through as foreign since they're not based here in the US. So what's this recurring discount?

Don't know him. And don't call me Shirley. Kevin Slater

Just read each forum individually. The posts will appear latest first. Kevin Slater

Just 'cuz you seem to asking for advice, here's some I had previously posted: Don't bother with blocked phone calls. Seriously. He's a time waster. Same for texts that come through from an email address. Hear a voice on the phone before heading over or giving your address. Subsequent booking can be made via text. It's not a bad idea to call the hotel and get patched through to the room before heading over, especially if something strikes you as 'off'. The likelihood of a future booking actually happening is inversely proportional to the number of texts, calls and emails beforehand. Keep note of the numbers that flake on you, for they'll do it again in six months. And that same guy has done it to me, and every other escort. Be leery of drunk. They often pass out before you get there, or after. He may be having a great time and want to extend the session. Mazel tov. But he may be thinking with his little head and not have the funds. Settle up occasionally. Every client starts as a first timer. But first timers also often lose their nerve, and you lose your time and effort. Don't front the money for a first time session (hotel, travel, etc.) and rarely for repeat sessions. Don't drive two hours without a deposit (e.g. Venmo or Amazon e-gift card). Key words that this is going nowhere: Engineer, Nigeria, Walmart, "your city". Don't discount your first session because he's going to see you weekly. Future sessions may be negotiable, initial bookings are always full fare. Make some friends in the biz. They've seen it all before and can offer guidance. Trust your gut. A few bucks isn't worth your health, safety, or freedom. Most guys you'll meet will be wonderful and pleasant. Some will be odd ducks, and even that can be fun or at least entertaining. A few are bad eggs, but those guys are extremely prolific in wasting your time. Kevin Slater

I agree that pic #2 isn't my favorite-- makes you look moody. But we do need more than just four pics. Maybe add some useful details, like are you able to host (if so, where) and where are you willing to travel to? Take a look at some other ads and get a sense of what guys say about themselves, and then try to come up with some more to say about yourself. Welcome to the message forum, by the way! Kevin Slater

Thanks. Kevin Slater

As well as splitting expense, you'd be splitting these smaller markets. Sounds fun from a social point of view, but maybe cannibalizing the work aspect. Kevin Slater

Willie Sutton is dead. Kevin Slater

Thanks, both. It's working for me now as well. Temporary glitch? Kevin Slater

If I access this site using Firefox, I can't get my cursor to appear in any of the data-entry fields (the search box or the box where you type your post). I'm having to enter this query using Safari. I can view the site just fine using Firefox, but if I want to enter any content, the box where I'd type it shows up but I can't enter any text. @Guy Fawkes ? Kevin Slater

You might find another working guy who would let you rent his space for an hour or two. Kevin Slater

Yeah, most people visiting that site don't get it on. Kevin Slater

Yup, on both my Mac and iPhone. Kevin Slater

Nothing to add here. By the way, did I mention I went to Stanford? Kevin Slater

Not so much anymore, but there was a time when perhaps a majority of my revenue came between midnight and five a.m. Kevin Slater

Well there's one booking I'm going to lose over the next three years. Kevin Slater

Broadchurch is wonderful. The acting superb. Kevin Slater

It's working for me. (Well, I mean, at least as well as it ever did.) Kevin Slater

PayPal allows them to reverse payments, and is a horrible operation for myriad reasons. Avoid. Venmo (despite being owned by PayPal) and CashApp do not allow transactions to be reversed, but may bar you if they find you're using the app for commercial purposes (not necessarily anti-escorting, just anti anything commercial). But that's rare, and not using an app for fear that you won't be allowed to use it makes no sense, so go for it. I keep an empty checking account that I transfer funds from these apps into, and then from there into my real account. The terms of service say they have the right to go into your checking account and yank funds back, so the intermediary step protects me from that. When a new client asks to use an app, I say fine, but we process that transaction before the session starts. More than once in the past someone was shocked, shocked! to find that his app wasn't working after the session was over. Do not put the words PayPal, Venmo, CashApp in your ad. Make sure your Venmo account is all set to private. (For some reason they view themselves as a social platform and the default is to publicize every fucking transaction.) You can get a debit card which draws funds from any of these apps and allows you to shop online, at stores, etc. Kevin Slater

Worked with him very recently. He only gets better. Kevin Slater

The amount of money it would take to move the DJIA is far too huge to be attributable to political motivation. Kevin Slater

It means he's touched his phone or laptop within the last six hours. Kevin Slater

Kiddo is wonderful. Highly recommend. Kevin Slater

Over the counter drugs. That apparently means drugs you buy without a prescription, despite that the only pharmaceuticals that actually come over the counter are prescription drugs. Kevin Slater
