I invite anyone with lingering questions to read my earlier reply in the thread, reach out directly, read my 30+ 5-star reviews, contact those reviewers, and/or ask me anything here. Thanks for the interest, JFTB Instead of creating the obvious confusion and suspicion in the marketplace, why not have two identical pages and a note on why you have them? mondi92 1

Fair question, and I don’t disagree with the instinct. Worth noting though: both profiles already point to the same FAQ (labeled JFTB), which makes no attempt to hide that they’re both mine. So there’s a single, disclosed hub tying them together, not two pretending to be strangers. As I noted back in April, the two ads exist because they serve pretty different client preferences, and I’ve said openly (here and elsewhere) that they’re one provider. That said, your underlying point is a good one — the disclosure shouldn’t require a click to find. I’ll add a line to each profile pointing to the other, so it’s clear up front rather than only in the FAQ. Appreciate the nudge. + azdr0710 and NYC_BTM_321 1 1
NYC_BTM_321 Posted August 10 Posted August 10 did not recognize they were the same - HAHA. Jockfeet is someone I have wanted to hire for a long time -- he's incredibly sexy JockFeet 1
confusionsense Posted yesterday at 07:10 AM Posted yesterday at 07:10 AM Communication with him was extremely unpleasant. he’s picky, which fine, he has every right to choose his clients. however, he got really serious about the deposit when I talked to him. mind you, he wasn’t even gonna be town for another few weeks. i felt uncomfortable giving him so much up front. I would’ve preferred locking in plans closer to the date he’d be in town, but he was super difficult about getting the deposit upfront. Overall, pick your poison. If he seems worth it to you, go ahead. However, his rates are high and the deposit is a bit of a hassle. BCMan, JockFeet, BenjaminNYC and 2 others 2 2 1

This prospective client reached out from three accounts over the course of a few hours, lying about their screen names twice. It was I who labeled the communication with them as “difficult and unpleasant” before passing on their attempted change to my terms of engagement. I know most of you already realize that phrases like “picky,” “really serious about the deposit,” “super difficult,” and “rates are high” are subjective; one person’s perspective is not always another’s. The facts are: this prospective client either chose not to read my FAQ which plainly details my deposit and rate requirements, or thought they could bargain some flexibility. It’s not beyond possibility that I’d bend… I have before and I may again… but when one smells a pic collecting rat, one smells a rat. If anyone would like further details about this brand new member of the forum’s unsuccessful tactics to change a provider’s stated terms, feel free to DM. In the meantime, I continue to welcome any and all to read my FAQ and contact me with any follow-up questions. While I am currently booked for the next two weeks (all at my listed rates and with 20% deposits), I welcome new clients who recognize providers’ boundaries and know how to approach in a respectful way. 😎 BCMan and + azdr0710 2
