Rentmen.eu vs rent.men

[DixNDollars]

I noticed a lot of folks here prefer using the eu site over the global site… May I know why?

The upside of .eu site is you can have free access to the fun pictures by signing up for a basic account. The downside is you cannot use the RM messenger for a small subset of the providers who opted to only communicate through RM messenger.

Another upside of the .eu site is that it works with the hide.me proxy website whereas .men does not.

Hmm did not know that! Is this still the case? Since I have seen people can’t see NSFW pics anyway.

I prefer Eu because it is easier to navigate. I find the rent.men confusing.

[dcguy20]

I like the layout of the eu site.

The Eu site is simpler to see and not as noisy but sometimes you can’t message some guys on it.

Yes.

Maybe i'm crazy but i much prefer the .men site from just a design perspective. The .eu site is too much like it's straight out of 2001 internet for me personally.

I’m in the .men team. The .eu site looks and feels outdated to me.

[rojjodc]

I look at both.  The EU site had a tab for you to find brand new providers, which is hard to find on the ,men site.  The .men site is a little easier to navigate however (it will give you all listings on one page with a scroll down) and the pictures are bigger.

I've stuck with .eu because it seems to provide more profile information on a single page without having to keep clicking for more info.

I was mostly using rent.men until they switched to only showing explicit pics if you are a paying member. That change hasn't hit rentmen.eu, so I'm using that more often now.

I’m not a fan of sites and businesses that changed things when things didn’t need changing, especially when the replacement is sub-par.

Pretty much the same as what happens at work.  A software upgrade is always a downgrade, each and every time.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[BananaBagel]

Just realized you can search your buddy list by geo in the .men version. Super useful.

Like everybody mentioned above, since I'm just a basic member, Rent.Men no longer displays explicit photos (unless shared privately) whereas Rentmen.eu still retains the previous setup for public viewing.

That being said, I prefer the layout of Rent.Men better.  The Rentmen.eu layout instantly brings me back to the late 90's when the internet first became popular.

The most annoying problem with Rentmen.eu for me is that the photos' thumbnails cannot be blown up to full-size version vs the Rent.Men picture thumbnails immediately launch into full-screen mode when I click on them.

I'll admit I'm quite computer illiterate.  Do you guys experience the same problem between the 2 sites or am I doing something wrong?  I'm still using an old-school desktop with a humongous monitor and I love to see things at their "maximum capacities," if you know what I mean.   😜

I wonder if there is any difference for folks in states that require ID verification to view explicit materials vs those that do not. I am in CA where verification is not required. I suppose using VPN set to a location with more permissive laws would circumvent the issue altogether. For those not using a VPN to view rent.men, I wonder if explicit pics are visible, where normally they would not be visible.

I’m tired of RentMen and RentMasseur dictating what pics are visible. I’m over them putting pics behind a paywall for their own profit, at the expense of clients not viewing me when I want them to. I pay to advertise. Let me advertise.

I imagine the best you can do to get around the paywall problem would be to post all the "hot" pics kept behind the paywall in your private gallery and then share your private gallery with anyone who asks who doesn't seem sketchy.  That way, you can advertise to non-premium RM members almost as effectively as you can to the premium members.
