A lot of it depends on the vibe and the provider's level of talkativeness. I use my real first name though I use a Burner number. I will talk about my life in vagaries - travel, family, work - but not mentioning specifics (company name, etc.). I generally do not worry at all about LE or even about being blackmailed, because they have as much, or more, to lose than I do.  
I also tend to stick with providers who have been in the business a while and are well reviewed, which I think helps. And I also tend toward providers in their 30s and 40s which has usually weeded out a lot of the tweekers. 

I do see a lot of $400/hour on here (particularly with the guys in their 20s), but I am still on a $300/hour with some regulars. Or we're doing $500 for two hours. And we tip - which I think helps keep the rate as they're generally getting another $50-$100. 

We saw Jacob in Provincetown and he’s really wonderful. Easy to communicate with to set things up. Showed up on time. He’s got a great friendly energy to him. We chatted for a while. He’s very easy to talk to. Then the sex itself was fun and easy. For his age, his firmness was impressive. (It would be impressive for a 19-year-old.) Good kisser. Oral top with a lot of passion and a bit of Dom energy. I imagine he could dial that up if it’s your scene. 
Definitely recommend.

I don't think you should feel bad about this @Rgsnva but some of the suggestions here may be worth exploring. 
Americans are experiencing an unprecedented epidemic of loneliness. I don't know your situation, but the cultural moment lends itself to people wanting to feel loved and connected. This could make you more likely to invest emotionally in your relationship with a provider. 
In addition to the suggestions above, perhaps you can invest more time in developing and deepening your relationships with friends so you're less susceptible to putting all your eggs in this provider's basket. 

Depending on your birthdate, some people start university at 17. I'm just saying to be careful. 

I'd check his passport. You don't want to get charged with trafficking. 

As a bottom, when things are getting started or going slow you can feel the difference between skin and a condom. The skin feels more tactile, different men have different textures, you can sense the head and so on. But if you're just getting pounded out, it doesn't make much difference. I used condoms from 14 until nearly 30 when me and husband, then monogamous, ditched them. I take PreP so I'm fine to go bareback but also fine if a guy wants to use condoms. In my experience, outside of the US a lot of providers use condoms. 

The kids are wild these days. Between PreP and Doxy-Prep, they have no fears of infection. But the joke will be on them eventually because a lot of STIs are becoming treatment-resistant.  Oh, and we're not developing new antibiotics.

We saw him last Sunday. His pics are accurate. He's very sexy in person. Great kisser. Dick is amazing. 
He has a career outside of this hobby, so he's pretty discreet. He did send us a face pic, which was not of the greatest quality. That said, based on all the solid reviews from people we trust, we went ahead. Matt is movie-star handsome. Bright, sparkling blue eyes. Beautiful smile. His face is quite masculine and angular - think James Marsden, high cheekbones, sharp jaw. 
I also enjoyed that he was flirty over texts leading up to our meeting. It wasn't over the top but it definitely upped the excitement. 
Definitely recommend.

Yes! I noticed that too, I thought it was an attitude, but now that you said it, I realize that definitely it. When we got affectionate though, he was very passionate and interactive!

When my husband and I met with him he was completely and easily vers. 
He does strike me as a bit shy or an introvert but absolutely amazing in bed.

He joined Rentmen like three weeks ago. He has a basic, white-guy gym body. Requesting stats probably means he wants to meet up with other "hot guys." My guess is that he lost his job and is trying to make money as an escort, but he probably isn't really cut out for it. 

I tend to agree about findom. I kind of get the kink, but it's abuse-adjacent enough that I'd have to really trust the provider.

I'm solidly middle-aged but do not consider myself a "Daddy." I have never had an issue with a provider unless they mention age or physical appearance requirements in their profile, in which case I don't even contact them. 

I am gonna be 60 soon and have hired several that don't list it, but we had amazing times.  I'd just ask them and to be honest you are just better off moving on if there is any hint of being hesitant on their side.  I have found that many of the younger guys (22-30) love older men as clients.

I prefer not to count the cash when the client is present. I also prefer that they don’t hand it to me, not because I’m worried about some kind of law enforcement ‘trap’ (because it’s not illegal here to be paid for sex) but because it just feels a bit ‘off’ to take the cash by hand. I try to play down the transactional aspect of the experience. It’s much better for me if they just leave the cash somewhere visible for me. I’ll count it after they leave. It’s only been short once (by quite a lot!) so I messaged the client and he came back and was very apologetic because he had miscounted. 
Somehow if they pay by card it doesn’t have the same ‘off’ feeling about the transaction. I don’t know why!!

Does your wife know you'd leave her for a hot man? If not, you absolutely should tell her. JFC.
