Another possibility is that he uses a burner phone or a burner app for the side hustle, and he didn’t check or turned off notifications.

I also find this hard to believe. I'm not as big as @BenjaminNicholas but I'm solid, have a black belt and box regularly. I'm not remotely afraid of any escort we've ever had over. Also, it's MY house, so I know where the weapons are. Who are you hiring? Guys from 1950s mob movies? Most of the guys we hire are highly unlikely to want a physical confrontation. And if I were traveling, I would absolutely call hotel security or bounce him myself.

He's not an escort. He wants a sugar daddy.

I have paid deposits multiple times and never had someone flake on it. Generally, it's only requested the first time and it's a relatively small amount ($25-$50). We made deposits for both of our current regulars and we've had no issue. I do understand the privacy issues but there are ways around them.

Since you've clearly lost the argument and been exposed as an alarmist who probably watches Fox News, you resort to personal attacks. There's no agreeing to disagree. You're incorrect on the facts by a WILD margin. We've had homeless people, some with mental health and substance abuse problems, on our trains my entire life. The fact is that violent crime had a slight uptick last year, some robberies are up - again nothing like the 90s, let alone the 70s or 80s. If this is how you feel about NYC, I suggest you move somewhere less frightening; unless your cheap ass can't afford Darien.

We BOTH LIVE in NYC. I've also lived here my entire life. The subways have slightly more crime than they had pre-pandemic. At that point, they were the safest they'd been since the 1960s. The subways account for two percent of ALL crime in NYC. To wit: "Major crimes are, overall, down 72% from 1993 in Manhattan, according to his analysis of borough-level crime data. The 438 murders recorded citywide last year, moreover, are vastly less than the 2,262 recorded in 1990." FACT FOCUS: NYC crime is not worst ever, despite claims APNEWS.COM Social media users are claiming crime in New York City is the worst it’s been in a generation. But criminal...

It depends. Not more than 24 hours.

Do you get any channels besides Fox News? I was on the subway last night and there was an occasional homeless person, but it was mostly average NYCers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Perhaps @Marc in Calif is right that it's an NYC/DC/Chicago thing. But A list celebrities take the subway in NYC. Broadway stars take the subway. So the idea that some fit, healthy 28 year old can't take the subway is just silly.

Now I’ve reached out to him

Yes. And it's insane to pay for an Uber that will take twice as long and cost 10 to 20 times more than a subway ride.

Not really. The provider can estimate what transportation will cost and include it, but it doesn't involve me using my account and if the rates go up because its busy, that's not on us. Honestly, I find the "send me an uber" thing silly as there are plenty of providers who just hop on the train, ride their bikes over, and some have cars.

We actually don't cover Ubers; in NYC it can be $50 or $60 for a 20-30 minute trip that would probably be faster by train. As others have said, once they know where they are, they can include transportation into their rate. But I'm not into a la carte.

You make it sounds so unappealing.

I agree with you. I would never pressure someone to do something they aren't comfortable with. This happened when I was new to this, and now I am very explicit about what I expect and what I'll pay for it. This provider was charging the upper end of what is customary in NYC (which usually includes oral), so getting close to the end and throwing the upcharge in feels unfair.

I'm incredibly good at it. A guy I see regularly says I'm his favorite customer 😁

Any reasonably attractive man in his 40s or 50s will be swarmed by young men who look just like this on Grindr. Me and my husband could have a few a week if we were interested in twinks or twunks. We're not but that doesn't stop them from blowing up our chats. Of course, the primary thing we pay for is convenience. I have no desire to get into endless chats with flaky 20-somethings.

We have no expectations of a provider coming. We always ask if they'd like to cum. Most of the ones who are full-time escorts say no. The guys for whom it's a side hustle are more likely to cum.

I've run into this more with massage than escorts. Some guys want to charge you to suck their dicks. LOL

In my experience, bottoms and tops come in all shapes and sizes. If you're talking about providers, I suspect what you're seeing is market dynamics. The former twinks who marketed themselves as bottoms, can probably command more clients and money as tops. Me and my husband tend to hire verse and tops, simply because I'm a bottom and my husband has no desire for two bottoms.

I agree with those who've said he's mostly on RM to promote his Only Fans. I wouldn't even pay a porn star $1,000. There's a provider we've seen a few times and we REALLY enjoy. But since he's been doing porn, I find myself less interested in hiring him. I'm unsure why because I don't think he would charge us more. I also don't like OF as a medium. I've tried to follow a few guys on there but I don't find it worth the cost.

I agree with you on hygiene but I wonder if that has anything to do with vague marketing. Looking through Rentmen, some guys are very explicit. If a provider wants to curate their clientele for escort purposes, they should stick to Rentmasseur and then let those they're interested in know they're open to more.

We're in a similar spot. While I understand inflation and don't begrudge providers making what they can, the jump from $300-$350 an hour to $400-$500 an hour in the past 12-18 months has slowed our hiring. We're not rich, so hiring is an indulgence. Plus, as a couple, we prefer to hire for at least two hours, so we're looking at $700-$800 for a single session. So I find we're much choosier with a new provider and seeing the guys we like when our schedules all line up, which is another obstacle.

I am not Asian. And while I haven't hired him in the past few weeks, we have interacted. I'm not doubting your experience. I've had bad experiences with escorts that other people think are amazing. It's just 180 degrees from my own, so I'm curious why Erik would behave this way.

I don't want to invalidate your experience but I've seen Erik many times, and I'm a very femme person and was about 60 lbs overweight at that time. So it seems unlikely that if he found you unattractive and your interaction with him left you with low self-esteem, it was because you are femme or overweight. Either way, I'm sorry you had this experience.
