I am Black/mixed. Im only speaking for myself, but I have never charged below market  rates, and I have not, nor would I negotiate my rates. My philosophy is always if someone want to pay a lower rate, they should go for the guy with the lower rate. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Honestly, the people responding to @Jarrod_Uncut with "I'll NEVER make a deposit. I'd rather die than Venmo a provider $25 to hold my spot" are just tedious at this point. 
While a few clients on here have had some negative experiences, providers are taking on far more risk than we are. They risk violence, legal action, etc. We risk being out $50 if it falls through. 
Also, we all make deposits on services and even sign agreements with other services providers that allow them to charge us if we don't show up for an appointment. And if you're going to claim you've "never done that", you're full of shit. 
Lastly, given how much clients talk shit about providers on here, you really don't need to jump on every thread when a provider complains about us. 

You've also posted in another thread that you do the findom thing.  Rather than test both ends of the spectrum, why not just pay for services rendered?

Clients criticize masseurs so much as it is…even the good ones with excellent technical skills. I don’t need to pay someone or give away my time for free on top of that. Some of the more productive ways of giving and receiving criticism is with a massage trade with another massage therapist. Even then, styles and focus differ. It’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and try new things more than anything.
Every client has different needs and preferences, while every masseur has different strengths. It’s not always a matter of right/wrong or good/bad.
Sometimes a client doesn’t even appreciate a really good massage because they only want and expect “extras” or hire for your looks. I can’t take their criticism seriously. The others I take with a grain of salt.

I have not hired any, but there are a couple of providers who have hired me, so it definitely happens

I don’t tour at all anymore, but if I did, I would avoid a city with a big sports event. I can’t imagine that it’d be worthwhile.

I have no age limits. When I decline to take a client, it’s never due to age.

Most of the basic questions that get asked are already answered in the advert or website. It gets quite tiring to answer the same questions by text. 
I get “hi what’s your rate?”….”when are you available?”. I get a lot of messages like that. So sometimes the answer “please see my website” might seem curt, but it’s really just to avoid lengthy exchanges by text.

Also, if the first question is “what’s your rate” the likelihood is it’s too expensive for him. You learn to avoid wasting too much time on that kind of thing. 

You can easily find a lot of "regular" providers through rentmen. The thing is, there's absolutely no guarantee that any one person will be in the business for a specific length of time. We also have no idea as to what your type is, what physical or personality attributes you're looking for, or the amount of time you're looking to spend regularly with that person.
Your best bet will be to do some research on rentmen and then ask about specific guys you're interested in here, or reach out to them to schedule a session. From there you can always ask them if they'd be open to scheduled sessions.

For me, the most challenging part was filtering through the time wasters and flakes.  Some cities have a higher concentration of that than other cities. I don’t have an active advertisement up anymore specifically because I did not want to deal with that part of the business anymore. When you don’t advertise and only see regulars, you know the regulars are reliable and you know they aren’t interested in wasting your time. 

I sure seem to have more problems when I have to change planes in Chicago.  I realize that may not be practical but I avoid Chicago when I can. 

Austin to Vegas. No issues. Not ever a blip of turbulence.
