What's everyone's experiences with "Available Now" masseurs?

I think this attitude feels pretty entitled to me. So perhaps a little self-refection is in order.

"NOW" may mean right-now on Grindr...but when you're scheduling a professional of any sort...They will want to have an hour or two to prepare for your enjoyment.

Ah, pubic_assistance, how brave of you to leap into a five-month-old argument like a knight in tarnished armor. It’s always fascinating when someone stumbles upon an old debate, dusts it off, and decides this is their hill to die on. Imagine being so bothered by a definition of “available now” that you had to resurrect it like it’s the grudge that keeps on giving.

 

Let’s not overcomplicate things: “Available now” means now. Not “later,” not “after I light some candles and meditate,” but now. If holding people to the standards they set for themselves feels offensive or “entitled” to you, well, that says more about you than me.

 

But hey, I get it—some people thrive on delayed responses. Judging by how long it took for this topic to get under your skin, I’d say “available later” is definitely your vibe.

Would you like them to be texting other potential clients while they're with you? 

Do you reply to messages by your friends within minutes all the time even if you're busy with other things?

Then they weren't actually available and shouldn't have labeled themselves as if they were.

I have a different texting relationship with my friends than I do with people I'm attempting to hire to perform a service. I'm not even saying that they have to reply, just don't label yourself as available if you're not.

Providers usually just click available for 6 hours in RM and leave it on.

Does someone know what is the system in Rent masseur?

If a provider gets a call should he log in to his account the moment the client arrives and click "unavailable", right after he leaves should he click "available" before putting the bed sheets away?

What if the client arrives at 10:00 a.m. and at 10:30 in the middle of the session, someone checks the escort  profile and reads "unavailable" and he assumes the guy won't be free at noon and makes plans with someone else? Shouldn't he had left" available" on and reply right after the first guy is gone?

I don't particularly care about the justifications or hypotheticals. I'm still gonna be rightfully annoyed if I reach out to someone who says they're available and then I get radio silence.

If you're booked and not able to readily change your availability, then just don't use the feature.

radio silence because he's with someone else. 

Not everything in life provides automatic gratification.

If I'm not mistaken, a provider selects 'Available in the next n hours' (where n is a number from 1 to 6) and RM attaches a label 'Available Now' that is on their ad for that period. As to what a provider means by 'available' it's as well to remember Humpty Dumpty's explanation of what words mean. So it means what the provider wants it to mean, and the nuances of what can be expected have already been discussed in this thread.

You'll make heaps of friends in life if you insist that what they say means what you want it to mean, rather than what they know they meant. If the two meanings are polar opposites, you'd have a point, but if the two are in the same postcode but not the same street or house you'd do better to clarify rather than insist (or to write a letter to the Times to explain why you are right and they are wrong).

By all means come here and vent about why you dislike 'Available Now' but then build a bridge.

In my experience, over two decades of hiring, the meaning varies from provider to provider.  As such, I generally contact a few different providers to inquire about their availability, and select whoever contacts me first.  That way, I am generally not disappointed.

At this point I think you're simply arguing because you're either insanely lonely and need the social interactions or just absurdly determined to win an argument no one was making in the first place.

No need for getting personal unless part of your personality. Put yourself in someone else's shoes, don't assume anything wrong from others because they can't text you back right away, maybe there's something going on in their lives.

I don’t think people pay attention to that unless it says not available.
