Increase in providers not actually seeing clients?

[acks0104]

I've come across a few guys with active RM ads who will advertise as traveling to the area and they usually respond when I reach out to them, but then when the date comes, they don't ever actually travel. The odd thing is, they don't seem to be advertising for an OF or anything else. What's the deal with this? Why pay for RM and not see guys? What are they getting out of it?

They may be testing the market to see if there’s enough demand to justify travel costs

I do this always before to plan some trip. Bc if we don’t have some clients schedule or some ppl looking for us we normally don’t travel or otherwise we will just spend money with hotel, flights for notthing. So yes normally we do that to calculate if our travel will worth it

I find providers do this if they are planning a trip a few weeks in advance. 

Do you mind letting us know where you are?  If it is a smaller city it can be that they are testing the waters and when not enough people apply they choose to go somewhere more lucrative.

There will always be attention whores, in addition to the other more practical kind. Some (possibly straight) guys who have no intention of any interaction will post paid membership ads for locations where no one will know them on sight, but they get a thrill (or a laugh with the bros) knowing there's interest.
