+ Keith30309 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Over the course of 3-4 months I’ve messaged 4 different guys on MB who are not on RM and none have responded. I perceive that the content is usually out of date and skimpy at best. It also seems to have more guys looking for female clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItReal Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You can find some gems on there but make sure you look at the date when the ad was updated before reaching out. Anything older than 30 days - forget it and move on; based on my experience.

I feel it attracts a caliber of low quality escorts, and yes, while one may suggest there are also low quality escorts on RentMen, at least the site is pretty. + José Soplanucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a little harsh - calling them "low quality". Many of them are not pro's and don't want to incur the expense of a rentmen subscription. Doesn't make them low quality - perhaps industrious is a better word; working with what they have available to achieve their goals.

Right or wrong? Many of them are not pro's and don't want to incur the expense of a rentmen subscription. MintBoys requires a subscription also, if you want anyone to actually....see you.

+ Keith30309 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I’d characterize the guys I’ve seen on MB as being more of an amateur standing. They come and go and seem to be less established. I’d use the word “fresh” (in some cases). I‘m not sure how you uniformly measure “quality”. I’ve met established, highly rated & priced guys on RM who’ve done little for me (especially well known porn guys.) Conversely I’ve met newbie guys who blew my socks off. I can’t speak to how “cheap” MB guys are because none have returned my messages. (See “amateur“). I will say that based on the couple of hundred different guys I’ve hired I observe absolutely zero correlation between rate and the enjoyment of my experience. I recall someone I paid $600 for 2 hours who was dreadful in most respects. And I still see a guy who I give $150 for a couple of hours who makes me feel awesome. This is why I’m hesitant to pay someone I don’t know $500 for a 2-hr because “it’s the going rate”.

"low quality and cheap escorts"? That statement makes it sound as if all escorts that charge less than the average or going rate are low quality... See comment by @Keith30309 above. I have had many similar experiences where the actual cost had no bearing on the experience; after all there is a difference between cost and value. Do some client look for low cost? Sure. Low quality? I doubt it. Many of them are not pro's and don't want to incur the expense of a rentmen subscription. MintBoys requires a subscription also, if you want anyone to actually....see you. I thought it was free too, based purely on how the interface looks. They are not pro's they don't need to be "featured" or be listed "at the top of the list" - they are probably fine with being listed mid pack and getting an inquiry every now or then. Every hit they get is gravy based on a free listing. Doesn't make them low quality - perhaps industrious is a better word; working with what they have available to achieve their goals. ..ambitious, lol. Maybe. Nothing wrong with that. Even if they fail in the process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ José Soplanucas Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I do disagree with @hypothetically 's assessment of these providers as "low quality". With all respect, it is a self serving myth that professional escorts promote and actually believe. But he is correct when he talks about a niche. The owner is quite candid about his admiration for the back page model. Many of the issues discussed in this thread are addressed in these two posts: https://ilikepinga.com/2018/02/03/mintboys/ https://ilikepinga.com/2018/12/20/mintboys-bought-hourboy/ Both were written when Mintboy was paying me for promoting them, but I was completely honest to my readers. I still think both articles are current, and they are not paying me anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s where my issue lies. There was something alluring about both BackPage and Craigslist because they were seedy and authentic. MintBoys feels very inauthentic and cheap, a duplicate that doesn’t quite hit the mark. To each it’s own. If it’s a lucrative outlet for it’s providers, good for them.

tenderloin Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I recently visited Boston. In advance of the trip, I reached our to 18 (yes, 18) providers via text AND email, in most cases twice.

marylander1940 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Its a niche. Some clients are into low quality and cheap escorts. Right or wrong? . Low quality is in the eyes of the beholder. What attracts @latbear4blk is different than what makes @tassojunior hire to mention 2 posters who hire very different kind of men. We have different taste in men, we are not all attracted to Abercrombie & Fitch boys for example. Sometimes we feel like hiring someone different too. Cheap? That's what CL and BP were good for, a diamond on the rough (like so many bragged about having found there after an extensive search that lasted for days) or the possibility of getting mugged. I'm glad those 2 sites don't exist anymore yet some on here loved them. That is a little harsh - calling them "low quality". Many of them are not pro's and don't want to incur the expense of a rentmen subscription. Doesn't make them low quality - perhaps industrious is a better word; working with what they have available to achieve their goals. maybe some of them do it for some extra cash and don't even want to be reviewed/promoted. Some might not show their faces because they want a future after escorting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMattBig Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I started on Craigslist, so I am sympathetic to amateur like platforms. However, those platforms will attract low quality "escorts". That statement is not a broad assumption of the quality of advertisers on the site still. It is just speaking on possibilities. More over, the definition of quality can vary from person to person. Maybe it is knowing how to ease a tight bottom to take a big dick. Maybe it's being able to take one. Maybe it's sexual stamina. Maybe it's kissing. Maybe it's massage skill. Maybe it's conversation. Maybe it's time management. The very fact that platforms like mintboys or Craigslist and Backpage in the past attract amateur providers correlates to potentially low quality providers. Because it will be less likely they will be able to deliver on all fronts related to quality as defined by those that will hire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypothetically Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Low quality is in the eyes of the beholder. What attracts @latbear4blk is different than what makes @tassojunior hire to mention 2 posters who hire very different kind of men. I wasn’t referring to aesthetic when I said low quality. I’m referring to the overall execution of an ad and the accompanying escort (i.e the content, the photos, the ways in which an escort communicates oneself, etc etc). While I am not going to deny that a less experienced escort may deliver an exemplary performance....I feel the overall qualified of all other things considered is...poor. For example, if someone said to me “I am looking for young, dirty trade.” I’d say...”’MintBoys.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenderloin Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 On Rentmen or Mint? Gman Mint. Rentmen were more responsive, but as I was outside of central Boston, the outcall rates were pretty insane. I thought I might find cheaper and more local fare on Mintboys, but like I said rarely even got a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ keroscenefire Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 In Denver at least, I'd say that 75% of the guys on Mint Boys also have or at least at one point have had a Rent.Men account. I feel like a lot of the guys on Mint Boys have expired accounts on Rent.Men and often wonder if they are actually still active. In one case, I saw a guy on Mint Boys who I know no longer escorts and doesn't even live in Denver any more. But there are also several that don't have Rent.Men accounts and maybe are on there as more of an amateur escort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Pensant Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 In Seattle, any twinkish guy advertising on mintboys is most likely stolen pics being posted by a much older scammer. Over the past two months, I’ve asked for a phone call and both times the same scammer answered with a creepy voice and admitted he was using fake pics. I’m getting to the point when I can predict the scammers. MikeBiDude and marylander1940 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
