I also tried to link up but didn’t pass his screening test. 

It has something to do with candles, incense, feathers and maybe a chicken... but I'm not sure that anyone really knows for certain all that it entails.
 
I suppose I've assumed it was staring at him in awkward fashion while he danced or stripped. I require a little more TLC than that.

I'm thankful when escorts won't answer a few questions.  It keeps me from wasting my time by hiring the wrong guy.
I often wonder how many "time wasters" aren't time wasters at all.  A little patience goes a long way; it's difficult hiring an escort.  We want to get screwed, but not in the wrong way.

So Dylan does not give a fuck? 
Sorry to hear that; I love the username.

Honestly, I'm waiting for the beard fad to die.  I miss the clean shaven faces.

I only hire off of rent.men and rentmasseur.com.  Other than the obvious type qualifiers, a few things I look at when I'm making a decision include:
Is the profile completely self-absorbed, or does the provider talk about how he takes care of others? Did he invest some effort into his description.  I may be the only reader on Rent.Men, but I love a good, flirtatious description. Is he into the same things I am? (Don't list everything, but check the things you enjoy) Is he a good match in terms of position? (Don't say Ask Me) Is there any discussion about him on this forum? If you are friendly, have thick skin and are well-reviewed, I think participating here can be a plus. Does he smile or at least look content? (I'm surprised by the number of middle fingers and angry looking people I find) Does he have a face?  (It's OK if the face is only in the private photos, but providers should have a face) Do the photos appear to be consistent?  (Some guys have 12 different looks spanning 8 years.  Don't do that) Side Note, I would prefer 10-20 great photos over 100+ mediocre, dated photos. Videos are also a plus, even if they are not erotic.  Somehow it is easier to get a feel for someone's image and personality from a video. Does he have good reviews? How long has he been listed? Providers rarely check all my boxes, so I am a realist, but this is how I look at a profile.
On the one hand, the last two are the hardest.  On the other hand, I frequently see providers with 10+ reviews after only a couple of months.  If someone is listed for 5 years with 3 reviews, that is a red flag.  Likewise, if someone has 20 reviews in 6 months, that is a good sign.
After I make contact, I am looking for more than a one word answer and a rate that makes sense in the current market.  Rates that are too high or too low are indicative or no experience or a huge ego which is a turnoff for me personally.
Finally, I don't know why more providers don't create a simple website.  This is a great and inexpensive way to share a little more detail.  Here's an example of one I like:  https://www.meetmattanthony.com/
Perhaps this is TMI, but I hope it helps.

From what I have observed it's been all mechanical. No emotion at all. Just get it over with and get the money.

I’ve noticed a frustrating change in escort services as time has gone by.  When I was just starting with this hobby about a decade ago, most of the guys I’ve met initiated action.  The first half of the session was spent in making out.  These days, within the first five minutes of play, most would push me down to give them oral or proceed to penetration.
Is anybody else seeing this happening?

I live in Los Angeles and think men and women are much uglier than they appeared a decade or two ago. 
 
I don't see people getting any better looking in the future here at all, and for the main reason why I theorize that, should be written in the political forum. 

I think clients and providers would all be better off if they would start looking for win/win transactions.  There are so many on both sides trying to be on the win side of a win/lose deal.  In the end, nobody wins on those deals.
It gets old hearing about clients that didn't get what they want and providers that think everyone is wasting their time.  If people would just try to take care of other people, this hobby, hell the world would be a better place.

Sometimes I buy premium bottled water.  But most of what I consume comes from the free public fountain.
Men are the same way.  I like to buy, but I also want to swallow from the public tap.

I meet most of my young 20s men in person, either at a gay bar, strip club, gay hotel, or gay cruise.  And then there's the occasional waiter I hit on.
I remember a 22 year old college graduate with a degree in chemistry, but working as a personal trainer, approached me at a gay strip club in Portland.  I thought he must be a dancer because he was so good looking and was approaching me for money.  Nope, he just wanted to talk with me.  We met the next night for dinner, drinks, and amazing sex.  I think I bought dinner and he bought drinks.
I'm 40, obese, balding.  So while not a senior citizen, I face similar obstacles.  Each year as I get older, fatter, and balder, I need to step up my personality and confidence that much more.  Thankfully, personality and confidence usually come with age, if a person tries to be well rounded.
I really avoid using the dating apps, but I'm on there.  If someone peaks my interest, I tell them I'll be at such-and-such bar at whatever time, if they want to meet me.  Otherwise it can be a waste of time.  And I don't bother with profiles that don't have a face pic as the default unlocked image.

I love repeat regulars.
Unfortunately, at the moment, no one is in that category.
It takes a special man and a special connection for me to want to repeat. 

Strict rule, never contact the client to initiate a meeting. I’ve never done it and never would. It’s intrusive. 
He’s really trying it on especially by proposing to charge and even more so by then offering a discount! I’d go back and say to him, ‘ok but this time you pay me’ and quote him the amount he charged you. That’s tongue in cheek of course, but it would be fun just to see his reaction. 
I bet if you did go back, on whatever arrangement, the session wouldn’t be as good because his proposal will have soured things. What a shame he reacted like he did because I guess you’d probably have booked another session sometime.

Get to know me at first, the other stuff comes after. If you need someone to talk too, life/investment advice, a person to ‘inspire’ (😏) you or just want to be generous too; I’m your man.

We miss 100% of the chances we don't take. That single philosophy has brought me a lot of success in love and life. I did a business pitch a couple years back and asked for something so freaking outrageous, it actually worked. In reality, I would have punched someone if they had of asked the same of me. But here we are. 
On the old beefy/bear topic that started this thread, I had a full head of grey hair at 40 am not the smallest dude in the world. But somehow every college baseball player with daddy issues can't get enough. Not every one of them -- and not even 90% of them.
But that last 10% are fucking amazing in bed. All you really have to do is not be a creep and show a genuine interest in getting to know someone. It really does work. 
Okay, sorry. This thread was distracting. lol 
 

Life is never simple....adapt or give up.
Thankfully Escorts make things more straightforward for those of us who don't have time for complicated.

Well certainly fucking fresh peach is more desirable than jamming your cock in some dried apricot.
When I was in my 20s everyone wanted to fuck me.
When I was in my 40s everyone want me to fuck THEM.
Adapt or admit defeat

I booked an appointment and told the masseur that I like to start therapeutic (because I actually like massage) and then get as erotic as he wants.  Imagine my surprise when he was massaging my ass and there was suddenly tongue followed by a great pounding.  I hired him twice in the same week.  Zero personality, but damn if he didn't give both a great massage and a great fuck.

I'm thankful when escorts won't answer a few questions.  It keeps me from wasting my time by hiring the wrong guy.

Obviously, one of the benefits of RM is hiring guys that are out of your league.   Are such guys equally accommodating on Grindr?
Also, one of the things I like about RM is no strings are attached.  Are the Grindr guys more or less likely to get the wrong idea?
Like I said, I’ve stuck with RM thus far, but I’ve often wondered about it.
