No.  Nobody in this business is worth that to me and having his ad up for almost two years with no reviews means Im not alone in that thinking. 

I'm absolutely more likely to engage a provider 40+ 
If desperate, 35 is the absolute youngest. I like men, not boys. There are any number of reasons - the same that I do not seek social relationships with young gay men. Communication styles demand a learning curve from both of us. 
I loved having a long career working alongside performers (and other artists) aged 14- 90, and will gladly hang out with my niece and nephews 20-30's.
On my dime, it's adults only. 
 
 
 

I wonder if the communications are from Froy or Paypal at all...the whole thing smells like a scam to me. While not this particular scenario, I periodically get scam notices from purported companies and vendors that are complete inventions. Just don't answer.

I also think as prices go up, I'm less likely to take a chance with someone who doesn't check all my boxes from the get-go.
More likely to stick with a known quality.

I've been trying to figure if I've gotten pickier and more selective in the past five years or if the quality of the providers has gone downhill. One of the two is happening. Although I guess both could be happening. But I'm less enthused with the possibilities these days. 

As I have aged, my tastes have changed. as I am now a senior.      I won't hire kids, 18-20 any more.   While I might hire a 25 year old, I actually prefer 35 year olds or even older.  Actually there are young men that I noticed on RM 10 years ago and didn't hire them then but as they have now grown up and matured I have hired them.  One of the few escorts I have hired more than once and probably about 6 times is in his late 50s and has a dad bod.  Never would have looked at the geezer when I was in my 30s

The only person I've ever allowed to receive a read receipt from me was my boss (the owner of the company).  And I'm retired now so no one gets them.  None of their business. 

Mine are always off…

I have them off because there’s people I don’t want to reply to…

I’m not an escort, but I don’t have read receipts turned on for my personal iMessages- I think it’s an invasion of privacy to have them turned on, plus (for example) if I accidentally click on a message without reading it, it would look like I’m intentionally ignoring it.

I met Tony a few months ago.  His pics are current.  He was very engaged and didnt watch the clock. Nice guy and easy to chat with.  I will repeat when he returns to my area.

Definitely more selective. It’s not just about looks for me, either. I have to vibe with their personality as well. I don’t like leaving things to chance, so I tend to stick to the same provider exclusively for a long period of time. 

I’m considerably more selective and more focused on making reliable, drama free, sober regulars 

I've always been selective, but probably more today than before. 

I have become more selective over time. When I was younger I was experimenting and trying many things that I came to learn I do not really like. Plus, I used to have a limitless stamina, so every sex was good sex because I was always able to have more. 
Nowadays, my stamina is limited and I treasure the fun time, I would not invest my money and/or time on an experience I am not reasonably confident I would enjoy. 

I’ve become much more selective over time. I used to jump into bed with anything that had a pulse, but these days, especially when hiring, I’m far more discerning. I know what I want, how I want it, and when and I’m no longer willing to tolerate nonsense. The moment things don’t align with my expectations, I move on. Also at this point, my tolerance for drama is zero.

I agree totally!  I have always been selective!  Less selective opens the door to issues and less than desirable results!  

I have found I've become far more selective over time as I've gotten older. I hire far less and figure if I can't have want I want at the moment, why bother. I was always a bit selective (picky my friends would say) with my tastes, but not as much as I've become. At my age I know what I like and want in life and what I don't want or like, so why experiment. But that's just me, I understand others have different tastes and views. Many senior men I know have become less selective willing to take or settle for whatever they can get. I understand that, but I don't feel that way.

I met Max today in Detroit.  Pics are accurate, welcoming personality, great kisser, a little shorter height then advertised, apendage fully functional and closer to 50 than 40 years old. $400 and he did not short the time but amazingly had it timed to end right on time. Very polite, nice guy.  In todays escort market it was refreshing to meet someone who delivered what he promised, looked like his pics and was a nice guy. 

I don't want to excuse anyone for being misleading, but our obsession with large penises is not great. The average penis size in the US is 5.5 inches. So being 7" puts you above average. In my experience, someone who is a great lover with 7" is worth two of someone with 10" who can't use it properly. 🤭

I generally assume most are lying. That also goes for casual hookups.
 
Like @DMonDude said, the ones who are actually well-endowed are not shy to show it off with various good quality pics and in some cases doing comparisons with items. 

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. 

Just come with an open mind, without expectations and enjoy the experience. 🙂

Ive had great experiences with Allen.  Will see him when he returns to the Detroit area.  That being said, Ive highly recommended him to two friends.  Hes been difficult to communicate with for both of them and even ghosted one on the day of an appt.  So, I reluctantly can see both sides of the posts here.
