I will also add that sometimes a provider listing as versatile/top may say versatile, but they don’t necessarily mean that they will bottom. You have to talk with them to be sure. Because some will do something typically associated with versatility, like mutual kissing, or mutual oral or mutual rimming, but won’t bottom.
Otherwise, I’m in total agreement with what @DMonDude posted.

Body hair is the must for me.
Clean shaven or bearded face is kinda like smooth vs hairy hole. I'm gonna eat it either way, so long as it's clean. 

If he’s only showing his face pics in his private gallery, I’d suggest not posting those. He made a decision to restrict access to those, so that should be respected. But a screenshot of one of his public gallery pics would be ok. 

As a provider myself, I never take payment up front. That's always a no go and everyone should know that when meeting. You were clear with what you wanted and he didn't follow through, and added the extra surprises. That's why I think it's good to get providers with reviews or at least check here to see if anyone has met them. When people give off shady vibes, just always trust your gut and move on.

With masseurs (whose pattern of appointments is likely to be different from escorts) you should consider the feasibility or their meeting such a request. They will often see several clients with often relatively short intervals between them. For them to honour your request, they likely need to be deodorant-free for appointments before yours, something they may not be prepared to do. But you could still ask.

Mine are always off, but I also don't use my personal phone # as well. Even in my day to day life I don't have it on, because I will respond when I can.  I always respond to every messages right when I can no matter what. So being left on read is never an issue when it comes to me. The only thing I've ever had as issue with when it comes to some clients is on Rentmen. As I've had people who don't speak, but request pictures, and then leave me on read.  A lot of people may know not that Rentmen messages all have read receipts, so it tells me if every- time with those to check marks if someone has left me on read. Those little (✔️✔️) 

I’ve stated before I’ve never expected tips, as a lot of times it never happens, so when clients do give me a tip I’m usually floored and grateful. I think it also varies too from massaging vs escorting.

A good boyfriend experience to my way of thinking requires paying for more of the provider's time. I love the slower seduction absent from most services, and even from gratis hookups. Clothing may not come off as quick. More time on kissing, limbs entwining and tactile exploration. And laughing (very important) The more specific consent convo continues throughout as chemistry dictates new urges. 
To me, it demands a 2hr sesh, minimum, and choosing the right provider counts more than average goal-oriented sessions. 

Despite being in NYC, which has a pretty big market, 15-20 percent has some appeal to me. As @NYXboy noted, I'm generally into older providers (30s and 40s). I'm not into twinks or guys who are selling their muscles as opposed to their skills, personality and emotional intelligence. I have a preference (though exceptions are made) for men who are 6' and taller. So that does lead to using filters and having to go through a lot of guys to find ones that really appeal to me. 

I find that RM has mostly big muscular guys who offer to FUCK YOU HARD or little fem twinks who look anorexic. 
My tastes lie somewhere in the middle - I am much more attracted to lean boy next door guys, and I like guys who are in early 30s not 21.  These types seem to be the diamonds in the rough on RM. 
I am also bi so maybe we are similar in flavor preference. 

Some time ago, I had an NYC based escort stay with me for a few days in Fort Lauderdale. We had a great time. I follow him on social media and see that he goes to Fort Lauderdale several times a year. He’s always with a nice group of guys. I have just made a last-minute decision to go to Fort Lauderdale. Would it be inappropriate to ask him for recommendations in Fort Lauderdale? Or is it OK to do that? Thanks!

I've always had facial hair and the trend that people hopped on started many, many years ago, when bears were fully embraced.   Everyone realized there's no shame in embracing your natural body hair. I've had people throughout the years actually harass me and tell me to shave all my body hair and maybe I'd get booked. At the end of the day I love it and many men do as  well. I think asking them to trim isn't that big a deal before a session, as hair does grow back. If that's what you want, as always be transparent and put it in your profile. That being said from the outside looking in, it's apples to oranges they're plenty of clean cut guys, and they're plenty of guys with who are hairy with beards. That way you don't have to ask someone to change.

I have only blocked people that seem to be only chatting and asking vague questions but not showing an actual intent when it comes to meeting up.
Other than that, I understand if someone is far and they might be checking out for future trips. However, if you are serious about it. I would rather have you text me and ask if it matches with your expectations .

Did you view their profiles and photos repeatedly without hiring them?  If so, they might have blocked you as a lurker who was not serious about hiring them.

I am a person that grows a beard and shaves it off with regularity.  It may be that an escort might be similar in his approach.  So asking if they have facial hair is no big deal.  If you have a preference, you could ask if they are planning on changing that in the near future.  Sometimes, that might be the impetus to make the change.  
 

Agreed!
In addition to that, i even like it on young guys, it gives them a certain added manliness and it gives them another thing on themselves to take care of and make stylistic choices with that help determine my attraction to them.
I just like the way facial hair adds shape and texture to a face. It's a positive and negative space thing for me. Like having a painting of a landscape and the sky is blue with no clouds. You add a couple clouds in to break up the monotony of all that blue and it's more pleasing to my eye. Facial hair does that to the male face for me.
I'm personally pretty picky with clean shaven/smooth faced guys 😆

I really prefer my men clean shaven, with zero facial hair. Being a it of the contrarian, I sport a tightly groomed full gray beard. Hemingway style, Wolf Blitzer type of beard.

It's really all about taste. For me, I have ALWAYS loved facial hair. One of the catalogs we got when I was an early gayling (MontgomeryWard?) was the only one that had male models with facial hair and I made much use of it. Beards, as long as they are not ZZ Top length, are hot. Goatee? Excellent. Van Dyke? YES!. Biker handlebar mustache? Let me have a seat. It's all good to me. I was THRILLED when (and when was that? 10-15 years ago?) beards started making a big come back. 
But I can certainly see how the beard trend would be a bummer for folks who don't like them.  It seems perfectly reasonable to ask what sort of facial hair a provider is sporting. I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to remove it, unless they're willing to do it (and likely for an increased fee). 

I have my first experience with an escort from RM today.  I've given men some cash from sketchy sites before at a discounted rate, but this is my first time with a legit guy from the site.  Hope it goes well!

I do see the frustrations when appearances deviate from what are advertised.  It can directly influence someone's desirability.  I do have a weird take on this though.  A few providers asked me what I preferred (e.g. clean shaven vs bearded, hair style, wardrobe).  To their surprises, my reply has been consistent: "I like you exactly the way you are.  There is no need for you to make any changes for me."  My rationale: the more real and authentic they are, the easier it is for me to fall under their illusions because their acting becomes more believable when they are true to themselves.  That, in turn, enhances my imagination/fantasy of a BFE.
