Yes hi! I'm ok! That first interaction wasn't great. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't what I was looking for (or paying for!)
But I decided to try again with someone else a few weeks later and had an amazing time with that guy. I ended up seeing him several times.
I've hired a couple of people since I first posted and all but the first have been amazing. I'm meeting someone new tomorrow actually

It’s that piece of paper the person in front of you at the grocery store checkout line is taking an interminable amount of time writing on and holding up the line.

Hello @gooduslife and welcome to the discussion forum. 
It is wise of you to see out advice - I am sure you will get valuable responses.  As for myself, an older gay, I would be remiss if I did not advice you to take care of your health first.  Before you get more sexually active, please ensure that you get all the recommended vaccinations (HPV, Hepatitis, Meningococcal - you can look it up on the internet as there is specific guidance for men who have sex with men) from you student medical center or a city health clinic.  You may also want to get on PreP if you are not already. 
My second piece of advice is that you join a local gay community group - some of the most valuable friendships I have is from meeting older gay men at my local community center; they have been a great resource for me in life with guidance and support when I needed it.  They understand life as a young gay man and have always been willing to help when I needed a sympathetic ear or was struggling.  And all it cost me was a cup of coffee and to stay in touch.  
From the information you provided, I conclude that you are studying in San Francisco on a student visa.  If that is the case and you are not a US citizen, you should be aware that as a guest in the USA you are particularly vulnerable to law enforcement scrutiny. San Fran is a fairly liberal city where escorting isn't a priority for law enforcement, but if you should travel (with a man or without) and questions are raised about you escorting, it could impact your visa and ability to finish your studies.  So you have to do what you can to maintain a lower profile.  Not posting your face on rentmen is smart - get the "burner" app for your phone and use that "burner" number exclusively for your side business. 
Most men will only agree to meet if they see your face, so consider how much you will be willing to share even if it is via text/whatsapp.  Consider the type of client you want (a few local men that you see repeatedly vs traveling men who may be able to host at their hotel and pay more, but you are always seeing someone new and not building up a client base). If you do decide to create a rentmen profile - my advice is to be honest in your profile - use pics that are of you, even if it does not show your face, make sure they know what you are willing to do and not do and then communicate clearly and quickly. If you are meeting a man you have never met before, my advice is to meet in a public place first (hotel lobby, coffee shop) so you can look him in the eye before you get intimate.  Video calls also work - get a sense for the guy and protect yourself against time wasters and scammers. 
Good luck and reach out to me if you have any questions.

If somebody liked the guy enough to post a positive review, why would you think less of it if he doesn't acknowledge it? 

You're trying to infer a negative if a provider doesn't leave a response to a positive review left by another client.  You may as well admit that you're viewing every interaction with a provider as an adversarial encounter.  You're paying a guy to put his hands on your naked body to relax you, but you're getting worked up second guessing his actions from the time you first message him to how he responds to a review well after the session.   You seem to be more worried about getting your ego stroked than your nalgas.

Amazing.  Until reading this thread, it never would have occurred to me that potential clients who see my reviews might wonder why I didn't respond to the reviews and perhaps see it as a shortcoming on my part.  Incredible how we all live in our own heads!

It’s a fascinating fetish/psychosexual phenomenon; but, to me, it’s a terrifying prospect.

Never saw him before, but he's got a really cute smile.

I agree with you to a point, especially if the dom is well adjusted and careful not to cross the line into abuse.  I think it's easy for money to let someone rationalize becoming very abusive in this kind of dynamic.  Watching the interview with Mateo, the way he talks about his clients sounds a lot like how relationship scam artists that engage in "pig butchering" scams talk about their victims.  The only difference in his case is his clients do willlingly engage with him as a findom, but it seems like more than an act for him.  Add to that where he claims he needs some form of transaction to be interested in any kind of sex, there just seems to be some of psychopathy driving him.
There were some photos in the interview showing him before his surgeries, and he was genuinely a cute young man.  His alterations are his own business, but I don't think the look he's trying to achieve is going to age well.  I hope has a good exit strategy because I think his ability to keep draining his clients won't last very long as he gets older.
 

I see no reason to publicly reply to any review of mine.
Privately, you thank someone.  Simple, kind, effective.
If you're writing a positive review just to get a visible pat on the head, that seems a little silly.

So I just left the session and it did change.  The routine was the same up to the HE part where his shorts were down.  He was again sporting a rock hard boner.  This time I stroked that, but I also massaged his biceps a bit which he seemed cool with, then I reached under the shirt and massaged his stomach and nipples, again seemed ok.  So I put my hand on his hip and slightly tugged towards me and before you know it, I had something in my mouth.  We both had near simultaneous finishes.  Was a fantastic day!

Previous deli threads are closed.  Saw him today.  Still the same wonderful experience as before.  Should add to my previous compliments that I'd forgotten how sexy his voice is.

He’s being respectful of you. Thats to be valued. As a masseur I really appreciate the clients who aren’t demanding I fuck them or whatever. I suggest you take it slowly with him and if you’d like him fully naked for example then perhaps run your hand up his torso under his top when his shorts come down. He’ll get the hint and either remove his top, or your hand….
