Is this a red flag?

[Reggyreg56]

When a provider who looks incredible quotes you a rate on the low end of the scale. Is this a case of too good to be true?

Maybe - it might depend on where they're located - Example:  I believe there was something in a post a few months ago that the hallowed SpikeyDee was down to $350 (or something like that) because he had legal issues that kept him from leaving Ohio.   Probably doesn't mean he was a "bad deal"...but he was a good deal with bad circumstances at that particular moment.

Who'd the provider?

Not necessarily.

If you can’t verify if the pics in the ad and who you’re talking/texting to are one and the same… and they’re asking a low rate, I’d be wary. Also if they are offering a low rate, be sure it isn’t for an à la carte offerings.

With that said a low rate isn’t necessarily a red flag. The guy may be new and not sure what to charge. He might be offering a low rate in a new area to gain clients… or offering a discount.

Some guys enjoy the intimacy more than the money and charge accordingly.

There are a few prolific porn actors who gave me an obscenely low rate for overnights/weekends. A couple because I saw them regularly for hourly appointments before doing longer meet ups. One of these porn actors offered to do a weekend with me for around 600 some years back.

More recently a stripper for Adonis Lounge/BuffDaddy’s wants to do a 3 day weekend for about 1k. He doesn’t advertise on rm.

Do your research.  Check his reviews, ask guys here on CoM to see what they know, find out whatever you can about him.  Maybe you found a hot newbie who’s just entering the business and doesn’t know how to set his prices.  And if you end up hiring him and it’s a good experience, share the details with the rest of us!

Might be. Red flags tend to come in groups: incredible pics, low rates, requests for deposit, request for extra money for an Uber etc. Do an image search on his pics… he could be ‘borrowing’ them. That’ll reassure you that they’re probably genuinely him. Then beware of other red flags cropping up once he’s drawn you in.

Thank you so much for that response. I don't want to give the provider's name because I don't know if he is quoting different rates for different clients. So I guess I want to keep his confidence.

I didn't consider the fact that this might be a base rate and he might "add on" extra items. The other reasons make sense too. Thank you!

The going market rates apply to locations where there is an actual market and to vendors (providers) who are familiar with the market. I’ve seen prices sway wildly in smaller cities in more isolated locations.  I’ve also seen newcomer providers quote both way above or below market rates simply because they don’t know what to ask for.
