    This is essentially a review site, so I think some negative reviews come with the territory.  The more thoughtful reviews are helpful for deciding if someone is likely to be a good match.  I think this works to a providers benefit because the awkward, mismatches are uncomfortable for everyone.

    I don't care about the $20/month; I just don't see the value in it.  I can see everything I want to see by meeting up with someone.

    When I went to cancel, it gave me a warning that I would lose the current membership rate.  So I guess I will take a risk and give it another month.  Renews on March 1 so will let you guys know at that time.
     
    What does irk me is that I did it to see private pics, but so many now, even with premium, need to have the escort unlock them.  What a rip-off.

    jtwalker reacted to Simon Suraci in Providers hiring providers?   
    Absolutely. I hire other massage therapists for a couple reasons: therapeutic massage and market research.
    I like to know who is providing what so I can invest in my own development and stay competitive. I can’t and won’t give exactly the same massage as someone else, but it really helps to understand my competitors’ work and helps me give informed recommendations for those who may fit better with another provider. Sometimes it’s nice to offer an alternate for when I’m unavailable during the time a client requests.
    In addition to my chiropractor appointments, I need regular therapeutic work since my job is so physically demanding. I also just really enjoy massages. The percentage of providers I will see for regular massages is very, very small. There’s a lot of nonsense in the business. Even among some of the good people, I am quite picky about massages. It’s expensive as you all know, so I want to spend my $ where it counts.
    Some massage therapists hire me regularly because they recognize and appreciate - better than anyone - a high quality experience for a good value. I also collaborate with other therapists on 4-hand massages for clients that request it. For 4-hand, I have to know if the other provider and I work well together, if they’re reliable, what quality they deliver, etc.
    Trading massage is a gamble. You never know how good it’s going to be with a new provider or if they are the right provider for you. It saves money, to be sure, but costs time (and availability, which = potential $). The best case scenario is to trade when each person is less busy, or less likely to be booked. I prefer to hire. If the therapist is a good fit for my needs and likes my work too, that’s the best case scenario for a trade.
    I don’t hire for escort service (no interest or need), but I completely understand the reliability factor of being able to hire. My clients share horror stories of how much time they spend (and waste) on unreliable and/or bad connections on apps and websites. If you have to spend half your week doing that and it’s still bad, economically it makes sense to spend a few hundred dollars to get exactly what you want with who you want, when you want. It works no differently for providers.
    We’re people too, with human needs and time limitations, no matter our level of conventional attractiveness. Sure some of us have more “options” as it were, but not all of them are options we actually want. We also value safety, quality of experience, compatibility, and reliability.

    Men are quite visual in their sexuality. They don't like fat women / they don't like fat men.
    You hear clients complaining about being rejected for being fat, but you don't see these fat men hiring, fat escorts !

    jtwalker reacted to pubic_assistance in Extortion by NYC escort   
    The only reason Escorts are able to extort money out of people is the sense that you won't go to the police and admit that you hired an escort in the first place.
    This is why I always suggest that on a first meet. Ask for a massage.
    Massage work is perfectly legal, and priced more cheaply. If you like the guy after a simple massage session and you know they also escort, then you have a relationship already established and any sexual connections in your future are a matter of two consenting adults agreeing to meet for some fun.
    Don't let this event freak you out about trying again. Just change your strategies and never have them meet in your apartment or hotel room. Always meet outside to confirm that it's the same person you were engaging online.
    Good luck.

    1) Why bother?
    2) If you live where legality is questionable, you are essentially creating a log of your activity. 
    3) Many escorts bombard you with threats after a bad review, which is just annoying.
    4) I've found the reviews on RM to be less than reliable; however, measuring positive reviews over time seems like a better indicator.  For example, a provider for 5 years with 3 reviews is automatically a red flag whereas a provider with 6 months and already 25 reviews is a good sign.

    I met JuniorAZ for a little more than a massage and received no gift. Tested just a few weeks ago.
     
    very nice guy who really tries to deliver whatever you’re looking for. I wouldn’t pay $350 for a massage with anyone, but don’t be too quick to judge his character. He is very popular with over 50 reviews on RM since August. He is clearly doing something right.
     
    I woukd hire him again, no question about it.
