This is the sort of comment that is contrary to the spirit and intention of this forum, which is to celebrate and yes, when necessary, offer critiques of providers who cater to our interests. 

You have no basis to besmirsch these guys that for whatever reason turned down an opportunity to meet with one of our forum members. It is their choice alone whether to meet or not when they are contacted via RM. 

I did not "besmirsch" the provider; I questioned the astuteness of any client in furnishing a personal photograph to an provider known only to the client by a www hookup and engaged in an  activity which is illegal in many jurisdictions, In any event, in the true and certain belief that a picture is worth a thousand words, this is the photograph I furnish to a provider who requests one of me. . .

Right, and I similarly send ten hundred dollar bills in a photo. And I’ve had more rentboys than not tell me about their other John’s - often by name. And more than once show me pictures of them. It’s not some remote possibility that these two would show this guy’s photo. But still, the main issue is just them ghosting him.

Providers can screen and sift as they see fit but asking someone's age and requesting a photo is just a bad idea in general.... FIRST thing that needs to be considered is "privacy" and  establish some level of trust in what can already be a nerve racking process where people can feel vulnerable. Providers ( I speak for myself ) should make massive efforts to make people feel safe and not nervous; more than they probably are to begin with. I'd not ask for photos, I don't ask how old people are because as long as it doesn't involve minors, the age of a client is 100% immaterial and inconsequential to me.  I also never ask people for information that might make them uneasy or feel vulnerable. I never ask what people do for a living nor do I ask who they work for. People will invariably share what they want when they want but that's up to them to decide. People can screen a lot more than they realize from pushing communication.. how people communicate ( many factors involved ) is a far better screening tool than most would realize. I can tell pretty early on by texts, inbox messages and emails if I'm dealing with someone I'm interested in meeting and I'm certain people will be able to say the same about me.

I know of providers that prefer to hire over age 40 clients, or older clients over younger clients. I think it’s because they think younger clients play games or are immature or won’t have the money. Age preferences work the other way around too.

I know about providers who refuse to hire people who are overweight and especially obese.

Nowadays clients under 40 happen more than before because of "Grindr fatigue".

Sir, my step might be somewhat slower these days, but, I assure you, the "spring"  in that step is yet youthful.

These 2 bozzos... red flags when they said yes to all my demands (99% never do), would not show face pic, and kept comming back with higher prices for each service... and I ve learned to trust my red flags.

You sent a prostitute a photograph of yourself by HIS request?!? I have to make inquiry of you as to what possessed you to undertake to comply with the request; he has a photograph of you which he can distribute to a wide audience by the www with any annotation he pleases to attach to it, e.g. "Old Fart" or "Parlor Q***n

This post is mind boggling for two reasons. It's dehumanizing of providers when most of us would attest that our experiences are overall good and often great. If you think of all the famous women who have had exes or agents or photographers leak their photos, it doesn't seem we have to worry about escorts. 

Second, if you have social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), anyone can take a photo of you and claim anything about you. And in this era of deep fakes and AI-assisted video and graphic design, people with the right skills can copy your voice, etc. I wouldn't sweat someone having your picture.

Mind-boggling? Doubtlessly, you wouldn't sweat someone having your picture until it turns up on a computer in you place of employment with, if you will, labelling inappropriate to the workplace . A prostitute, by definition, is a person who engages in sexual activity for payment; the use of the term is not dehumanizing, rather, it is the reality of the thing. Of course, you can "dress it up'" like a salad dish anyway you like to make it more palpable, but, in the end, it is a business and it is what it is.

Thank you 🙏🏽  ( I think 😜 ) I'm sort of newish here again. I ride the fine line between staying relative, competitive, and off the grid for the most part these days.

I don't know why some get upset when escorts ask for verification pics. A lot of them do it for safety issues. Others just want to confirm they can take the client and perform well. Let's be honest, not everyone gets an erection when is neeeded. At the end providers are entitled of servicing the people they want. It's like when you go to a store. Some of them can deny the service if they want to.

I know folks may have an off night once in a while but it's a bit weird  to me. Thank goodness 😅 and knock  on wood 🪵 in all my time in the biz, I've always been able to summon, obtain, sustain, and maintain an erection when one was expected and needed. 
I laugh when I'm reminded when Christopher Hitchens famously said he only prayed once, and that was for a hard on 😂

[TorontoDrew]

I don't mind providing a face pic or stats.  I think the provider should know who and what to expect.  I don't mind being turned down either. 

What I didn't like in this situation was the way in which it was handled. 

Just a reminder, I'm told by someone I trust that these guys are a great hire.  In this case, the customer service was lacking.

Both you and Caramelsub talk about providers who hire clients. What universe are you operating in?

I've yet to meet a provider, and I have met hundreds, who hired me, a client. It would save me a lot of money.

Well they may have been for the other person - who may have been more compatible with their unprofessional criteria.

Just as in real life - some providers may treat some people differently based on age / body type / race / socio-economic status etc. Someone having a great experience doesn’t mean another will.

I meant to say who refused to BE HIRED.... I shouldn't post from my phone.

Nothing like making assumptions... I run my place of employment, so that's not my concern. And, if such a photo was leaked, I'd say "yep, that's me. I have sex."Might that shock some people? Maybe. But I've never cared what others thought of me. 

Again, for someone who does or used to engage in this hobby you mostly project a very low opinion of those in the profession.

Not so; I have cast no aspiration on those engaged in " escorting", my point being, once again, that furnishing a photograph to a "total stranger" engaged in an activity which is illegal in any number of jurisdictions, is ill- considered. That you are your own man  and immune from the consequences of a public outing is fine and dandy.  However, give some thought to a "closeted" clergyman, a married man, an executive officer or just an ordinary fellow not in such a favorable position. I have named the game for that which, more often than not, it is and that is the "rub" in the thing.
