As opposed to all the other provider ads which say things like "Looking for a loving, long term relationship. First six meetings no charge." ?  😉

Or something . . 
 
The reason why US Americans can’t find US America on a map is because US Americans don’t have maps . . .
and the people such as Irak . . 
 
oh fuck me pink . . .

I know this is off topic, but adding my voice to this: in my experience if you pay a deposit chances are 9:1 that you will get scammed - even if you think it is the best Brazilian escort and your little head is doing the thinking. 
 
Back in topic, isnt Kiddo from Brazil?

Sure fire way to get scammed. I wouldn't follow this advice guys.

The search engine is your friend, esp. on this one.

A bit like restaurants. The only time I did it the guy said you don’t have to pay but I may end up being booked. It made sense. It’s not an easy gig. Especially with NYC overheads.

I've never been asked for a deposit from an escort or masseur.  Wouldn't pay if asked. 

That is not the case in my experience. 

I don't think a deposit is something most guys ask for - not in my experience and not even when I narrow it down to Brazilian guys. 
 

I didn’t know that most guys ask for a deposit. He’s the only provider who has asked me for a deposit so far.

Most guys ask for a deposit 

Most don’t.  And it’s a great way to lose money if betting on sn unknown horse. 

Maybe "friendly" but not friends; the latter doesn't pay for sex.....

I don't think you are. If you look for a restaurant on open table and search by neighborhood, Times Square area is still referred to as theater district, so there 🙂

Who are "They"? Trans gender folk? The new neighbors? The first settlers of Midtown? The first people who were there before the settlers and gave it its first name? The powers that make real estate loans? The people who bought property during the 1990s recovery? The developers who are gentrifying the neighborhood and making sure everything below 125th Street in Manhattan is identified as "Luxury"?
I still call it the Theater District, but I'm probably irredeemably stuck in some idealized privileged past.

I’ve known “Joey” for 12 years (lives around the block from me).  Reading the comments, makes me chuckle because of the accuracy  and cause sexually he’s remained the same since the first time I nailed his ass in 2012;  he ultimately desires to be a passive btm with an “older bro type” [me] and /or “dad type”.  As for the guys he likes to fuck; short, thick, EXTREMELY hairy muscled cub twunks (it’s a very specific look he’s into).
 
my feeling is if “Joey”sorta just laid there like a pillow princess, on his stomach w/ass presented upwards (regardless of expressing you wanting to be fucked and him still fully clothed) “Joey’s”hoping u take the cue / lead and initiate annihilating his hungry hole!!! 
 
as others have stated,  escorting is a side gig / hobby for him (to find daddy tops ultimately imho).   He was the very first person I knew to get an OF and had this natural desire to be making a living off of social media, before it was even a thing or the term “influencer” existed.
 It’s funny, when he first arrived from Long Island, fresh off the LIRR, he was this super thin, slightly flamboyant little suburban italian twink dancing to showtunes in hot pants on Vine, YouTube videos etc, then he met me, and was fascinated by the life I’d created for myself and especially my travels around the world (I was leaving to Australia the next day), and I think it’s fair to say that my natural 🇮🇹🇺🇸 masculinity had an affect on how he chose to present himself from that point forward.  (Its my understanding he lacked for male role models growing up)
 
 
 

I tried google image search of each pic, but couldn’t find anything. Any advice?

Most MEDIOCRE escorts. The best keep improving with age.
If a provider's greatest attribute is muscle tone, they've retired long before 38.
If a provider is older than 38, they are generally more skilled at keeping a client "happy" for a longer percentage of the date, ready to do the heavy lifting to make the encounter fun, less likely to run out after only 38 minutes have passed, have better stories to tell, are less likely to be late or last minute cancellation, and are really your safest bet it you want to avoid a scam.,

I admire and congratulate him on what he's accomplished in developing his body (assuming the pics are genuine), but fear he's fallen into the trap of believing his own press. And now he wants us to do the same.

His ad also shows him on a nude hike (but he doesn't offer "public), and other providers have gym workout sessions (etc) that show off their bodies (but don't offer "weight training").  Some show both black hair and summer platinum -- it's not misleading if, at the moment, he has one or the other.

The bareback photo merely indicates that he has participated in bareback sex (perhaps with an intimate partner, but titillating the viewer), but if he marked "safe," presume that is his default with clients. 

It is not misleading -- just requires an inquiry if that is your interest. 

Unfortunately some simply want reasons NOT to hire someone... Maybe nobody is good enough or they just overthink.
Agreed!
Some would BB with regulars after they show their latest tests. Is always a good idea to simply ask. 
Maybe he clicked "safe" by mistake, forgot to updated it, etc. 

I had some wonderful images of hunky Dustin floating through my mind, causing pleasurable feelings, sending whooshes of endorphins throughout my system, resulting in lovely involuntary physical tinglings in my loins...BUT then suddenly long forgotten images came flooding back of Mrs. O'Gorman's third grade class on the blacktop during recess shouting back and forth all sorts of comebacks that we knew rivaled those of history's greatest wits: "I bet you were up all night trying to come up with that one," "Your lips are moving, but all I hear is blah, blah, blah,".....
I hate those images. Please stop. I want my lovely sweet [and nasty] thoughts of Dustin back.
 

Ali_greekbody has 1 review from someone who signed up the same day the review was published.  Would that be a red flag? 

Two things:
[1]  I guess this is kind of subjective but I do not consider 6'1" / 185 lbs to be "bodybuilder" size.  He appears to be kind of 'muscular' BUT...
[2] ...the pics are HEAVILY and BADLY edited -- to the point of making him look deformed.  Compare the size of his upper arms vs. his forearms in the pic below as well as how disproportionately he has morphed his right arm vs. his left. 
Also, if you're going to pull editing shenanigans with your pics, maybe don't take them in front of louver panel door that make the morphing / warping even more obvious (second pic below).
