Couldn't agree more. RanchBaron is one of the best hires I have ever had: super sexy daddy, very friendly, down to earth, intuitive, really focused on how to get the client satisfied. It's always nice when you meet a provider that leaves you with a big smile on your face and this was certainly the case. Highly recommend him. 

Yep, I can relate to this. While I am not looking for love in these encounters, sometimes you find a provider that make you FEEL desired. Even when it is just 'make believe' in the end, it makes the experience amazing and you keep wanting to hire again. As other have said, a lot of it boils down to the professionalism of a "true" escort who puts the client at the center and works to please them, making sure they are getting a good experience and leave with a smile in their faces. That's an art and skill not everyone on RM has, unfortunately, even for the same price range. Last year I passed through several meh experiences one after the other that made me question whether I was just wasting money finding a needle in a haystack. 
I am lucky enough to have found two such providers and even when they are far from me geographically, I try to hire them when they come my way or I happen to be in their town. I always feel great afterwards and the smile doesn't lie  
 

Agreed to the sentiment. He has a nice friendly demeanor overall but did not deliver as expected. Agreed that his size is smaller than advertised, but what bothered me was that he couldn't keep it hard for a long time. I would not repeat. 

He is one of my favorites. I met him a few years back (through a different profile, TallDudeNYC, see below) and have hired him at least 4 times since then. He is super friendly, kisses really well and has really good skills as a top. YMMV of course, but I would certainly recommend. 
 
 

Completely agree with this. When I go on Grindr is because I want the reciprocation and the desire to please someone else while I am being pleased too. When I go looking on RM is because I want a specific service tailored to my needs and desires. That is why $ is involved. 
The "not responding"/"ignoring" part of Grindr is cultural, in my experience. Here in North America people that are not interested just don't engage at all. In Europe, where I used to live (particularly France), people were more upfront: "sorry, not interested", "sorry, not my style", etc. I personally prefer being upfront, but I understand that can be perceived as rude by people not used to it. 

Also, as someone mentioned, if Grindr detects you are soliciting, they will ban your account. Don't do this. This is why we have other websites specifically for business.

This situation is very simple. 
You’re making it far more complicated….
1.) Escorts are paid professionals . They have the general expectation NOT to be attracted to their clients. 
2.) Hook up apps are for “free”, non-transactional encounters (unless the individual states they are “working.”)
Escorts have lives outside of work and may be on a hookup site for their own “non transactional” entertainment. 
When you saw the potential hire on Grindr, you simply “rolled the dice”, hoping that you’d get a free encounter with this guy. 
As he’s not “working”, his attraction to you became a relevant factor in your communications because he’s now seeking a hookup to HIS satisfaction. 
From this lost gamble, you now know he isn’t remotely attracted to you, and you’re now leery of hiring him as there is no  longer a myth or illusion you can hide behind on your desirability. You BOTH will be clear that if you hire him, he’s performing a task, that’s it and that’s all. The fact that you have this hard truth will kill the vibe if you ever hire him.  
Move on, consider this a lesson learned and make sure not to contact potential hires on hookup sites, unless you’re prepared for unfiltered truths. 
 

 
 
 
 

Never confuse Grindr and RM.  They usually serve two very different purposes.
If someone makes the mistake of calling me out as an escort on Grindr, they are usually ignored.
My profile makes zero mention of that side of my life. 
It's strange that some guys can't read between the lines.
 
Don't judge an escort for having his own personal likes and needs.

My worst experience was being greeted upon arrival with some rant about how people don't do cash anymore (before meeting I have asked whether Zelle or Venmo could work, to which he said yes), followed by him demanding Zelle payment before anything happened.
I wished I had run away. His whole demeanor in those initial 3 minutes were enough red flags to foreshadow the waste of money this was going to be.
I should have left... but didn't. 
I regret it to this day. My worst experience to date.

No, it doesn't. It was my first time using Zelle and I was also annoyed at that.
In Venmo I only use my initials, and all transactions are set to private. 

I've been thinking about it. I would like see myself slurping on a nice big tool or munching on peaches or ploughing buns. There are some beautiful guys I've had experiences with I would just like to relive again sometimes.

The casual xenophobia of people in the US will never cease to amaze me. 

Sure, being new to the area and having no reviews is an issue. But the comments about gang membership, jeez.

Hello gentlemen. I’m still very much active and working in the “business”. If any of you are interested in getting in touch with me text or email me directly. Please be patient with a response as I may be engaged or just busy. My ad will be expired until late December or early January. Happy holidays to all of you!
Best,

I hired him I San Diego recently (May 2023), a bit expencier than I usually do, but it seems rates have steadily increased recently but that's besides the point. 
It was worth it ever penny I'll definitely will be doing it again next time he is in SD. 

I vote for @Jarrod_Uncut to find a new occupation that might please him a bit.

Dude, the only person who is doing the “gaslighting”, is you. And you’re gaslighting yourself. 
You’re so deluded in your conundrums of “battles”, that you can’t even see your role in being a CONTRIBUTOR in ever single circumstance you’ve mentioned being a “problem” with a client. 
But I will give you your due credit, Barnum & Bailey has nothing on you…. You know how to entertain in these forums and put on the “Greatest Show on Earth!!!” 
 

 
 

If what we are saying is “false”, why are you so triggered by it? 
Only a hit dog hollers….
And you Sir, are howling and hollering. . 
The shoe fits perfectly, you might as well wear it…. 

YOUR reality.
Look up Cognitive Dissonance.
 

I quickly glanced at all what you wrote, in a 5 second time frame. Because that’s all you’re getting from me at this point.
It’s nothing about owning the site or thread, it’s simply me informing you that you have the option to not post or read here if you don’t like it. This thread was not designed to address you, and if you’re not even the type of client I’m referring to: it shouldn’t even apply to you at all. So I don’t understand where your animosity is coming from. You’re inserting your opinion and annoyance where it’s not required.
 
I appreciate wholeheartedly the advice you have given, however if you season it with criticism and abrasive tone: I don’t have to receive it. That’s my choice, just like it’s your choice to leave this particular thread. You can stay on the forum all you want. But what you’re not going to do, is keep coming for me after I told you, I’m not going to agree if you can’t talk to me respectfully ☝️ 
 
If you want to stay here and continue arguing, we can do that too. But, that’s contradictory to the message you’re trying to give to me. And I really don’t have time to do all that. I had the thread hidden for a day, to cool things down. Now you just bringing the heat back. At this point, I’m just not going to respond to you anymore. I’ve said what I had to say: 

Ummmm…..Sir…..
This isn’t your private website, nor do you have any proprietary rights to this forum.  
Therefore, you do not have any leverage to tell me to exit a thread or dictate to anyone  how to comment. 
 
The only thing you own is that sophomoric soapbox you continue to carry around with your redundant rants and complaints on how “bad”, and “wrong” everyone else is. 
 
And guess what? I don’t even care. You can fuss, complain, argue, and type long posts until steam shoots out of your ears. 
 
More power to you. This changes nothing. You proved me right in your posts. Another former escort tried to give you sound well-intended advice (with no sarcasm or ill intent) and you shat on that. 
 
The truth about you is that you live in a microcosm of cognitive dissonance and no solution will ever suit you because you don’t want one. Your pathology is centered on fighting, arguing, drama and problems. You are a repellant of peace. You’ll find issues in every single thing you do.  You are the nucleus of your own misery.
