New Rentmen Site Design


FewBricksShy

Recommended Posts

For those who like the current layout, it sounds like the rentmen.eu site may remain the same. Here's an excerpt from a message they sent to my RM inbox:

In 90 days, the rent.men version will be replaced with the beta version currently available on app.rent.men. At the same time, the version of rentmen.eu will remain unchanged.

Of course never say never, but at least this is what they're saying right now.

I like it.  Bigger pictures and blocked providers no longer show on my search.

 

I was hesitant at first, but I’ve been using it pretty exclusively for a couple of months.

it is still a little buggy, but I’m sure that will improve.

A couple of things...

And you actually read the comments on those reviews that are allowed to stand on rentmen.eu

Not in the US. You still have to VPN to Europe.

What do you think? Looks like an attempt to be appy to me. 

The url is https://app.rent.men/ and it looks just like their mobile app.

I don't hate it, but I also don't love it. The current site allows searching by phone number, which does not seem to work on the new site. Othe than that, it is fine. I do like that you can enlarge photos.

I will say I appreciate seeing the date when pictures were uploaded though. I came to realize one of the guys in my buddy list I want to hire eventually hasn’t updated a photo since 2018. A lot has happened in the world since 2018…

The current site also shows the photo upload date, as below:

Overall, it is a more modern design than rent.men and the dinosaur-age rentmen.eu.  It shows they are investing in the UI, which too many sites don't do.

@rvwnsd, of course you need a VPN from the US. But you still won’t get the written reviews on the rent.men even with a VPN. The VPN wasn’t the point; the point was that you can read the written reviews on rentmen.eu.

Is the picture with the photo and date from a computer? If it’s your phone, how’d you get that on rent.men? I have never seen the dates on photos on rent.men on my phone. I already knew you could see the date on the desktop view for the site.

I see the written reviews on a routine and regular basis using rent.men in conjunction with my VPN (TunnelBear) pointing to a server in The Netherlands. 

The date stamp is not from a phone. It is from rent.men using Edge on my HP Spectre Windows 11 computer. It also displays using Firefox and Chrome. When I used Opera I'd see them there, too. Both the reviews and picture timestamp display on my MacBook Air using Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. I use the RM app on my phone and see the date and time stamp on pictures. As a rule, I don't use browser-based websites on my phone when a corresponding app is available.

The main difference that I'm disappointed about is the discrepancy in "last seen" info on the new interface. It may become more accurate as the launch approaches but, as of now, one profile on my Buddylist confirms that the gent has not logged in since 2015 while the new interface says he was "last online: a week ago"... (Making matters worse, I'm not a fan of the limited functionality of the BuddyList on rentmen.eu...)

I don’t access RM on a computer and I don’t use an app. Are you using the app with your VPN or are you accessing the site directly?

Like @rvwnsd I can read written reviews on rent.men, although without needing to use a VPN from AU of course. I hadn't looked at the new version until just now, and can still see them in it. (At first glance I like the new version, with one thing I noticed being that you can see when the 'available now for six hours' started.) I'm using Firefox on a Windows 10 computer, and on my (old) phone I'm using rent.men on Chrome, so via a browser not the app.

On my computers I access the site using a browser. I only use the VPN when I want to read a review. I don't use a browser on my iPhone or on my iPad. I use the app when using a mobile device. Typically, I don't try to read reviews using the phone. I use the laptop for that. 

The new site is growing on me. I do like that the default is a gallery view of ads instead of a list that you have to page through.

I hate the new site, I don’t need to see large ads of everyone.  Just show me the grid so I can do a quick look at who I’m interested in.  Give me an easy to use filter and contact info, is that too much to ask?  

The new site does have a grid option. I use that since I, too, prefer the grid over the large ad option.

Maybe they don't appreciate the fact that most of the clients are dinosaurs who don't appreciate change so much.

One thing that appears to be disappearing -- or rather getting monetized: previously, you could ask providers to share their private galleries.  Unless they adjust the site, private galleries can only be seen by paying premium membership.

I noticed that a couple of galleries that I can currently see on v 6.0 are no longer visible on v 7.0, and there's no way to ask a provider to share.

Can you get the semi-private photos by sending a request to the provider. I am not and will not be a premium member.  Could not find a way with the beta to do this.  I went to place a review on a provider and you apparently have to be a premium member to do that.  So fuck them.   But I did find the search filters easier to use and it told you how many escorts were available with your filters and you can selectively add them as you search.  Teh big pictures were nice.

How do I find that grid option?

(1) Select a city

(2) Tap the icon for filters (see attached pic)

(3) Scroll down on the filters page and select the grid option at the bottom right (see attached pic)

Looks like the Rent.men site is pushing v7 in a couple of months.  Not sure I like it.  One thing i can't find is how to filter profiles by New Ads only which you can do on the current site and which  I like because it let's you identify new providers.  Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Couple initial impressions:

Like the way pics/vids are displayed. Bigger, easier scroll

Don't like that "last online" feature, which I find useful in that it provides a sense of whether account is active or dormant, appears to have gone away. I know that in current version this can be set to "private", but a number of profiles still display in current version. (If anyone has figured out that "last online" can appear in new version with a settings change or whatever, I'd be grateful for a heads up.)
