+ azdr0710 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 everybody will have an opinion on this.....instead of even mentioning budgets and typical price ranges, etc., a client can just say, "thanks for the reply, but I'll pass for now....appreciate your time" NJF, BonVivant, DMonDude and 2 others 3 2
JayCeeKy Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 I appreciate the feedback regarding my brief exchange with this provider, but I would point out that simply replying with “Thanks… but I’ll pass for now” offers him no meaningful feedback as to why I chose not to hire him. I mentioned the $300 figure because that is, in fact, generally what I offer for this type of service. Constructive feedback is especially important for someone like this gentleman, who I suspect may be relatively new to the business (both of his reviews are less than two months old) and may have unrealistic expectations about what most clients -- at least in my experience — are actually willing to pay for the requested service, which typically is not in the $600–700+ range he appears to expect. That said, the pricing issue is secondary. The primary reason I chose to share information about this particular provider was to alert our “company of men” to what appears to be his clear disdain for gay men, as evidenced by his repeated use (twice) of a term I consider highly demeaning -- made all the more concerning given the context in which he chose to use it in responding to me.

Peter Eater Posted June 20 Posted June 20 “his clear disdain for gay men, as evidenced by his repeated use (twice) of a term I consider highly demeaning” He identifies as “str8,” so homophobia is probably to be expected.

I was interested to know as well since the response was "something like that would be 600-700" If you were just asking for a one hour session for him to top you then I agree 600-700 is not reasonable. 56harrisond, TJMS and pghmaster 3
DMICS Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Both parties handled this wrong. OP was wrong with "I usually pay $300" bit. It comes off as bargaining and/or "lowballing." Could've just said the first part and thanked him. The provider rightfully blocked you. The provider was also wrong with his vitriol after. DMonDude, pghmaster, 56harrisond and 2 others 2 3

Could've just said the first part and thanked him. The provider rightfully blocked you. At the risk of belaboring an already moribund horse, it remains unclear to me whether you actually read my previous comment explaining why I did not simply respond with “Thanks, but no thanks,” so I will restate the point more plainly. My principal objective was to make it clear to someone who appears to be significantly overvaluing his services that he may, in fact, be pricing himself out of the market entirely. Constructive feedback of that nature can be valuable, particularly when an individual seems disconnected from what the market is realistically prepared to bear. And yes, perhaps there was an element of "bargaining" on my part -- but negotiation and price discovery are hardly foreign concepts in business, nor do they constitute bad faith or improper conduct. More broadly, I find it rather absurd to suggest that people should block one another on Rentmen simply because they fail to agree on price. If everyone adopted that approach, the platform itself would quickly become dysfunctional, reduced to little more than users reflexively blocking one another over routine disagreements about value. A far more rational response from the provider would be to simply ignore an inquiry that does not meet his expectations or, better yet, recognize market realities and offer a compromise rate -- particularly if business happens to be slow. What is neither appropriate nor prudent, however, is responding with language widely understood to be derogatory, particularly when those words are inherently offensive to the very audience one purports to serve. But then again, perhaps I simply operate under a different understanding of how rational adults -- and competent professionals -- conduct business.
guru68 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I don't blame any provider for blocking someone that they have come to see (right or wrong) as a time waster for them. I know in general I get rather annoyed with people that I think are wasting my time. Yes, responding as he did was off-putting and not very professional. If nothing else, for the possibly of what happened - that his words could be shared and possibly color the perceptions of other prospective clients.

You wanted to "educate" when to some you came off as a jerk trying to bargain. While his rate is over my personal budget, seeing him quote $600 just off his appearance and not knowing what exactly was requested isn't a shock in this industry, in 2026. As I said both sides were wrong in the communication, moreso the provider. He shouldn't have replied at all and just blocked you. Societal behaviour has changed drastically post-pandemic in this digital, social media era we're currently amassed in. That's also reflected in this business as the newer, younger providers are joining. Most of them don't have the decorum, elite professionalism and respect that veteran clients would normally expect. When I started getting into this hobby I was taught in this forum by fellow members that your kind of response in the screenshot is frowned upon and it most cases will trigger at minimum getting blocked. So as you wanted to give some education to that provider, here's the education when it comes to dealing with some high-priced very young providers.

JayCeeKy Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 It’s a bit surprising to me that gay men would direct more criticism at someone who merely suggested a lower rate in a business transaction — branding them a lowballing, time-wasting jerk who deserved to be blocked — while offering only minimal criticism toward a provider who casually uses a hateful slur with what seems like clear disdain for the gay community. + Pensant and rickster 2

Did I not say both parties were wrong? YngMotionXTrey isn't on CoM, you are. So I'm going to speak directly to you giving my personal perspective about what happened. If YngMotionXTrey was a CoM member I'd be doing the same. And I'm not going to randomly message a provider I've had no prior contact with on RM talking about professionalism. This is not the REESEGOD situation from a few years back where the provider had knowledge of this forum where all the backlash of his vitriol towards a client forced him to reflect on his communication and be more respectful. Either way I’ll end it off here. 👍 Edited June 20 by DMICS

Muscle_Admirer Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago In all my years in this hobby, I've never been quoted rates that high, even from the OF guys I’ve chosen to engage. I'll go out on a limb and say the OP here must have made some special request to this provider. No way a standard hour in DC runs $600–$700 with all the competing talent around. As far as I can tell, the provider has no online fan base and is a typical, well-endowed, “charming” hardbodied guy you can find in several profiles any major city. However, offering less than half of asking instead of just moving on from this “DL Masculine Oral Top” who offers WS is simply asking for trouble. My experience is that providers typically never receive unsolicited feedback from new clients well… this gent is simply the poster child. That venomous response gave 'pissed off' a whole new meaning!

It's partially because he wouldn't have lashed out that way had you not "suggested" a lower rate in a business transaction where bartering/negotiating is not the norm and is actively frowned upon by most people on both ends of the transaction in this hobby (particularly for new first time clients). That's the part you aren't understanding, you didn't just say hello and he bit your head off for nothing. You don't realize you effectively insulted him first. Obviously, his reaction was way over the top and tells a lot about him, but "merely suggesting" a lower rate is what caused him to initially escalate. What you're used to paying isn't an enforced standard, every provider can charge what they want and if it's a price they stick to, it's generally because they have people who are paying it and they generally aren't going to lower it (especially as drastically as you suggested) for a new first time client. If you'd replied the same way to any other provider, most of them of course wouldn't have called you what he called you, but they'd have likely still been fairly annoyed or even mad at you, verbalized that in some less extreme way, and possibly still blocked you. If someone is charging a rate you can't afford or aren't willing to pay, you don't say "well other providers are charging less" or "well i don't think you're worth that much so you should only charge me X instead". That's effectively what you're saying to a provider when you bring up some lower price some other provider unrelated to them charges. It's an insulting suggestion to the provider and simply isn't how this works. All that's needed (if anything) at most is a "oh ok that doesn't work for me/my budget unfortunately" and move on to the next profile. So with that knowledge/context, the issue is that you unknowingly poked a bear here by not knowing an unspoken courtesy of this hobby. That's why people are telling you about what you said more than they are criticizing the provider. The provider saying what he said sucks, literally no one here is denying or defending that. People suck and are going to say hateful shit. He's not on this thread to hear the criticism and he likely wouldn't change even if he was. Consoling you over that doesn't prevent you from unknowingly walking into this situation again with another provider, but telling you why this happened does. DMICS 1
