FewBricksShy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 @Luv2play, but you have no stats to support that opinion. It’s based off an assumption you have based off they you’d behave. Not everyone behaves the same same way, so your opinion isn’t necessarily reflective of what is. Non-paying members may in fact hire guys frequently and plenty of experience hiring. coriolis888, Medin and HoseMaster 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boink Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I would think paying for a membership to Rentmen would entitle a subscriber to have any honest, less-than-five-star review stay on display, rather than being subject to removal by the provider. Speaking of reviews, are there any plans to resurrect that function on this site? FewBricksShy, tpx88b, HoseMaster and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found your number on RM. I enjoy [insert preferences/activities here]. I found your profile intriguing, so I figured I'd reach out. If you'd like to connect, I'd be more than happy to gift you a donation for your time. Just let me know how much you'd like for X hour(s)/day(s), and we'll go from there. Thanks. This is almost exactly what my initial texts to a provide are like. I'm a little less explicit and I'm also scanning to see if the provider is open to working with a couple, and has experience doing so.

FewBricksShy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I get tired of the working assumption here that providers are always the victim of bad behavior from clients. Are there bad clients? Yes. I’m highly doubtful the situation is nearly as bad as we’re led to believe. There are also shitty providers. They deserve to have bad reviews and have them stay posted. That’s just one of the reason why I won’t write a review and consider the reviews worth less than the paper they’re written on. @KensingtonHomo, even such texts can be met with tepid, unprofessional, seemingly uninterested responses from providers from the get-go. If that happens, I figure this guy’s a waste of MY time. And most definitely my money. HoseMaster and Medin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they answer my questions, and ask their own, we're on. If I get "sup", then it's not going anywhere.

Walt Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 7 hours ago, Luv2play said: I think the fee paying clients of Rentmen probably hire more providers on RM than non premium members. As such they are in a better position to make comparisons and offer better assessments in their reviews. Isn't this effectively saying that rich people write "better assessments"/reviews? As Margo Channing said: How nice for you, how nice for the escorts you like, how nice for everybody.

Luv2play Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's like when you read a review of a Broadway play or a new film. You value the opinion of someone who has seen more than a few. The opinion of someone who has just dabbled is relatively worthless.

Agreed! This is 100% true! But it does not at all follow that he who has met more providers makes "better assessments." There are some pretty savvy, well spoken, articulate, AND frugal posters withing the Company of Men too. FewBricksShy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually…I find film critics and their opinions insufferable. And often the films they find good, I think are shit. And vice versa. So of you’re saying you’re to escorts as a film critic is to films, then I’m going to disregard your opinion as I do professional film reviewers.

So of you’re saying you’re to escorts as a film critic is to films, then I’m going to disregard your opinion as I do professional film reviewers. I trust the opinions of normal people… Didn't have time to review this thread, but on the subject of professional critics, I read them because they aren't normal people, because they know the history and context of their field be it travel, film, books, theater, or fine art. If I find a few critics whose insights and writings I admire, I don't mind if I disagree with them, occasionally, because I appreciate the thought they put into the review. That said, there are no client-PhDS in "hiring escorts". But, the reviews are often helpful if you know how to read them. And, bonus, you can always reach out to the RentMen Escort-reviewer for details or to say thank you, that is not the case with Richard Brody or Daniel Mendelsohn (film and book critic whom I often disagree with, but appreciate their work--though I did reach out to DM years ago after his BrokeBack review, and we became friends, briefly).

FewBricksShy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 55 minutes ago, Rod Hagen said: If I find a few critics whose insights and writings I admire But there’s the rub. Not all critics are created equal. You admire certain ones. Not every one, and certainly not because they’re film critics. Look – if someone wants to think they’re an expert in hiring guys, fine. A connoisseur. Whatever. I don’t rightly care about that. I care about the actual experience with said guy, and I don’t think you need to have hired a lot of times to know if you had a good time or not. And for that matter, I might actually be inclined to listen to the “newbie” more because it shows just how attentive the escort is to making for an overall relaxing situation, given “newbies” don’t know the ins and outs like experienced guys.
