Hmm, idk about that one. It shouldn’t be just 1 side trying as hard. Both have to do the work, even if one is getting paid.
In my experience, clients who feel that way: often do the same old setup and don’t try to switch things up themselves. Like there’s some, who only want to meet at their place. That’s fine if that’s the arrangement, but sometimes the same setting gets stale. A hotel or trusted 3rd party might be a good move to keep things fun. 

So when you say you cancelled: At what point in the conversation was it? There are many traveling masseurs: are you reading reviews and checking for credentials off the site? (Website, business cards etc)
 
Even if someone does that and goes about it in a way @SecretProvider mentioned, that new burner number can still end up on the list.

best course of action is to behave in a way that does not result in negative reviews.

The quantity of providers has certainly gone back up since it bottomed out during covid. Although the quality is much lower it seems. I think when the economy is bad you have more guys on there looking to scam as well.

It is 100% an indicator of the economy.  Google "the stripper index" 
a friend of mine told me about it and it has been academically researched and found to be true that sex workers are the first to feel the effects of a recession.  A rise in providers would be an indicator of this, which goes hand in hand with the drop in work for providers too, so they are getting hit both ways - less work as well as more competition.

I've noticed more guys in NYC, but it fluctuates a lot here since it's a travel destination. 
I do wonder if the new tourist rule of having 5 years of social media reviewed to enter the US will impact providers. 

In late 2023, I copied down some numbers of ads on Rent.Men for a handful of cities.  I was just curious how those numbers looked today.  All of them went up by a lot!  The evidence suggests that there are a lot more choices on the market today than two years ago.

The International Day to End Violence Against Sexworkers is coming up on December 17th.  I was wondering what we as clients on this forum could do to recognize this here.  Specifically recognizing and honoring the sexworkers we have in this forum and the danger this job can bring to them.

It's the rise of hot guys with big social media followings and OnlyFans over the last 10ish years, yeah. Sex work is the next logical step and/or next logical side hustle for many of them.

With the top 10% of earners being responsible for more than half of all consumer spending, there’s just fewer people with the means to hire. It’s like jeans or dining out. There’s only so much that can support because X number of men are only going to hire X number of escorts. And many middle class and even upper middle class people are feeling the squeeze. 

Just noticing this, but I concur. That’s basically what I’ve been working to do. Sometimes it doesn’t always work though as it can take awhile for someone to notice in the smaller towns. Whereas the bigger cities often always have people looking. But problem is, there’s just SO many guys to look thru. I’m not a client though so, I can’t say what’s too much versus not enough to look thru.
When I look at California, towns in Florida, the northeast: the pages of ads just keep scrolling as more and more guys show up on the list. It’s way more than it was 15 years ago. What happened, did more guys grow up and become open to being MSM sex workers over the last 20 years??? Or is something else going on 🤔 
That said, I did help someone direct to RentMen on an alternative platform recently. Its anonymous but he basically said: 

One of my regular specialized in traveling around small cities and avoiding the big ones. His shtick is setting up a prebooking in each city with his regulars and advertising ahead for additional ones. So far it works well for him.

That’s true, to an extent. Unfortunately in a country that continues to stigmatize and not decriminalize sex work, and a large swath of LGBT community being anti-pay for sex (many guys put this in their profiles): being business savvy isn’t necessarily a free pass to success.
I post lots of pics on RentMen, have tons of reviews, everything that seems to be successful. But my region is cheap guys who don’t want to pay, and if they do pay: they expect $150-200. At $300/$400 most these guys come around very seldom. Some guys will say even $150 is too much. They want to pay $80. Not to knock someone’s ability to give, but I can’t wear myself out at $100 seeing 10 guys to get $1,000 (hypothetical scenario), and then be expected to provide cum and hard dick each time. 
And in regards to the guy with the new Porsche, you never know what people are doing or how they got what they have. I know people driving BMWs and Benz’s, but can’t afford to go to dinner. But they’ll go and make another guy spend their money on them instead. 
I’ve been a “victim” of such tactics myself. Once went on a date with a guy who drove an Audi TT, he ordered lobster and a couple drinks in addition to my meal. I wasn’t expecting to spend $160 on food that night, but fortunately it was a 1 time learning lesson about him and we ended up just being acquaintances because: how I look being someone’s sugar date, when I’m contending with trying to manage my own business lol.
 

Pardon my sarcasm, but with this as the set-up, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Just send him on his way.

99% of people looking at your ad are just voyeurs. 0.75% of those people are bored and want attention from a hot guy. 0.25% will actually meet up with you. 
Getting started in escorting is very difficult. It will take some time. 

So when we talk about dates, I don’t particularly like that feature, but that’s the only way to be listed in a city outside of the 4 hour max distance that’s allowed. But I have always stated in my ad that travel dates are approximate. 
 
Despite the feature being available, putting dates is almost putting the cart before the horse. I put them up because that’s what I have to work with, but right now my current strategy is to only go to where I’m invited. Or sometimes I’ll just move my entire ad to a different state or city on and off with no dates.
 
Also, even advertising dates in a city: I’m finding it’s not always getting enough exposure. I won’t show on the main page on RentMen.Eu but I will on Rent.Men. I don’t always know which version clients are using, but I find I get more hits when I directly move my ad to an area. So throughout the week, I’ll just post in other cities I plan to visit.

And please don’t focus on a provider coming to you, hoping to get other work as being a burden. Trust me, I do that all the time and most times I end up booking other clients in cities surrounding it, even if it’s different than the one the client is in. That’s part of going to places by invite. For example, I have a client who invited me to 1 town, but over the course of the week I went to 5 cities all within 2-3 hours away, and it was a productive mix of more clients, a crush, and meeting with friends I met at a camp weekend last month. It was not a case of me going JUST for that one client, BUT: I needed to have some definitive purpose to go at all.
I think some clients over think it, and try to think ahead of me. Stop 🛑 lol. Just plan the session, and confirm. Don’t try to figure out what I’m doing, or what other reasons I’m there for. What’s worse than going to a city for 1 client? Going to a city with NO clients, and then trying to scramble to find someone in a short period. That’s why I said, I’m not reliant on travel dates. It’s all about going where I’m invited. If someone can’t properly invite me, I’m just not going to bother going. 
 
The gay pay sex scene right now has become very strategic. Too many people pretend they want to meet, but then they go silent. I have rows of emails from clients in other cities, who never text me to confirm anything. Or they expect to handle everything via email where they take 5-6 hours to reply back to a message. It’s so annoying, when time moves fast and I have to make decisions about where I’m going to be, each day. I’m just not doing any unnecessary risk taking, and if I do there needs to be an anchor client who’s reliable to make it worth it. Otherwise I just won’t go. 

I don't know a single provider who would rather steal $50 than show to the appointment and make another $300.
