+ Axiom2001 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Would you engage his services? A month and a half ago, I took fancy to an escort who lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. His photos, ad, and vids are enticing. He and I have been in communication, and last month we connected via my IM'ing him at RM's site. At that time he quoted his requested fees of which I was OK. In my getting back to him, I stated that I'd hope to see him at the end of November. Well, did I? No. Plans had changed for me. He's in my Buddy's List at RM, and I can keep up with him and others on a daily basis if I so desired. I continued to view his photos and vids and yearn for his company. I decided to write Instant Messages to the three clients who had reviewed him. To date only one responded favorably and quite encouraging. From that I became more than eager to see him. Lo and behold I relayed to him that I plan to be in San Francisco on December 31 and would like to meet. He fired back an IM, and in it he stated that his rates had changed: $400 for one hour, $600 for two and so forth. He mentioned other rates, but after reading the preceding-- I returned a message to him in which I stated that I'd take a rain check. Well, apparently he didn't understand that, for he wrote back a favorable and encouraging response. What would you do if a similar situation happened to you? Because I've had difficulty posting RM's particulars-- I failed to post here, but his "stage name" is: Theo_SBUK, the young man whom I think looks deliciously mouthwatering.

+ DynamicUno Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 First, I'm not sure if his new rates are in line with the Bay Area market or not, but given it's a high cost of living region and with this year's inflation, it might be reasonable. If he found he could ask for more and have a sustainable customer base, then good for him. I'm not sure what you mean by his response to you telling him you would take a raincheck. You say "he didn't understand that, for he wrote back a favorable and encouraging response." Did he make a lower offer? Either way, if I felt his asking rate was too high or just out of my budget, I'd just politely say I'd take a pass like you did. If he came back with a lower offer in my range, I might consider it depending on the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is only 20 years old. I think his young age might be why he did not understand what you meant when you said "rain check" Raising rates is happening a lot with many escorts. What would I do? I would write a short note to him explaining that when you wrote rain check, you meant that you did not want to go through with the meeting. I would also tell him why, quite simply, he raised his rates and you decided not to hire him because of the rate increase. Marc in Calif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBoomer Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Here's a link to his ad https://rentmen.eu/Theo_SBUK Did he mention deposits non-negotiable when you first contacted him? I doubt he's 20yo now. He's been on RM for 3+ years. Google the meaning/definition of "raincheck". ~Boomer~ Edited December 21, 2022 by BabyBoomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Pensant Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 $600 for two hours in SFO isn’t really that bad, if the provider turns you on that much, esp. on NYE. pubic_assistance, rvwnsd, BonVivant and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 "Rain check" means "not now, but later" to me.

cany10011 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) A lot of cuties are getting unsolicited offers on grindr as well and are above the rentmen rates. I think some are testing the waters. A guy on seeking I saw over the summer reappeared on seeking and asked for double his previous rate as he wanted to see if Seeking could match his grindr offers in the $600 range. Years ago, pre grindr, as I was walking out of Splash a guy behind me kept whispering numbers to me, 100, 200, 300, 400 until i realized he was offering me $ for something...

True... though I tend to agree with poolboy as a raincheck is a weasel word. If he indeed wanted to meet up at somepoint again, perhaps offer a few other potential dates that would work. If the rate is an issue, then I would let the escort know. + ButchAtl, pubic_assistance, coriolis888 and 4 others 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been my experience that you might be surprised that you can find some available. Over the years I have been with some on christmas eve, christmas day and one time left a NYE dinner party early to hang with a gentlemen the rest of the evening. I would agree the number of total guys available would be signficantly less but I would disagree that you couldn't find some and also that you would have to pay a premium. If they're available they may want to work as much as you might want companionship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coriolis888 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 No reviews, but how long has he been advertising on rentmen? At the rate he quoted you, I am not surprised he has no reviews if his ad has been running a while. Some of the providers talk with their friends and erroneously think that they can charge anything they want and they will make money. They might get lucky sometimes but $500-1K rate" is not going to work with most clients. + KensingtonHomo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On New Year’s Eve, restaurant dinners are costly; those with “special menus” especially so. Hotel rooms are available but at a very high room-rate. And if I was looking for company on NYE (a major public holiday, when people are generally busy with friends or family) I’d expect to pay a lot of money. @Axiom2001 if you find this particular young man very attractive, I don’t consider his rate ($600 for 2 hours) to be high. Once, I hired a handsome muscleboy in LA. He had a terrific physique with only 4% body-fat, and he did all that I like in bed…and we went on to do it twice. His rate was $350 an hour/$1000 an evening - and that was 15 years ago! pubic_assistance and BonVivant 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually suspect that they signed up to test the waters at some point in the past and let their profile expire for a while for some reason. Sometimes they come back in a new city. I usually figure they're doing it on a casual basis and going active when they need some extra cash or don't have other things going on in their life that would conflict with escorting. + azdr0710 and MikeBiDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, the decision to engage his services is up to you and depends on various factors, including your budget, level of comfort, and personal preferences. My reading of what the OP wrote is that they never got together. Therefore, they could not have had an exciting experience together. Unfortunately, there is a huge inflation going on in most parts of the world. The inflation seems to have hit the escort market a bit higher than in many economic areas. Bottom line, what that price was last year is not necessarily priced the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
