+ Pensant Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 No doubt; but he’s a novice and I don’t want to go through his interview process. He’s like my 5th choice in Seattle right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ KensingtonHomo Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 As a client, I sometimes feel like other clients minimize an escort's concern for safety. Sure, a texted face pic could be BS and doesn't guarantee safety. But, how many of us we welcome a stranger into our home or hotel room sight unseen? Of course, we don't want to feel like a provider is screening us out (though I often think that's for the best), but I'm sure providers also get cat fished and deal with nutty clients. So perhaps we can all be a bit more empathic? StarQualityLuke, MikeBiDude and harlow 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially another man? Again, I’m not saying some providers aren’t screening and I do respect people’s desire for discretion. But if I put myself in a provider’s position, I’m confident I’d want to know who is coming over or who I am visiting. Plus, unless the client is using a burner phone, a provider can easily find out your name, address, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJOCK Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I like your response, but is he wanting to evaluate you or just gain confidence as to who you are before a booking? Asking questions isn't a bad idea, from either party. The better each knows the other before meeting the better the result may be.

SirBillybob Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I give to get; they’ll get what they see. The laxity of escorts’ screening never ceases to amaze. I find that most Grindr images sent directly thru chat are spread cheeks not subject to facial recognition or reputation-doxxing risk, so I don’t quite grasp the comparison to Rentmen reference.

Jeff Meuller Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I had one do this recently in Berlin. Guy was hot, my type and was highly rated. It's a pain for me to find a suitable picture so usually I am not motivated to comply but this time I did. He was very good, no attitude and met all expectations. I had to meant to ask him why he asked for a photo but forgot about it in the moment. + Pensant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was bad enough when I encountered it on Grindr. Guess they were selling a "surprise " session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
