I know this guy has gotten some good reviews but I have to say I wonder how?

https://rentmen.com/SimplyAdam

 

He currently has an ad which says Chicago, China and SaudiArabia til Feb. 28. I sent a message asking which city and got an automated reply that he is on a personal retreat in NEPAL until Feb. 28.

 

Seems a bit flaky and bad business. Anyone know what's up?

He is actually on a retreat.

I get the feeling that he is definitely a nice guy. I also get the feeling that he is much into various forms of spiritualism and meditation. He appears to enjoy acting as sexual coach for his clients. Now to be honest I have never met the guy as none of the above, except his being a nice guy, interests me remotely.

[nynakedtop]

I met him. Once. He is definitely a nice guy, but I do not join in on the large chorus of persons assembled to sing his unqualified praises.

[manderville]

I met with him a few years ago. He was fine, but nothing special. I would have considered him again, but his relentless over the top self-promotion turns me off.

[LookingAround]

His pics never did anything for me.

He is, as @VeryHappyCustomer states, on a retreat right now in Nepal.

 

Check out his blog at http://simplyadam.com/ for more information on his thought processes and his outlook on life. He's quite the writer and philosopher.

 

I hired @SimplyAdam and found him to be not only fine in bed but a truly wonderful boyfriend experience. Is he a buff bodybuilder? No, but he has (for me) a certain loving, caring humanity that is quite rare in an escort/sex therapist and that in itself makes him very attractive. I personally find his body and face exceptionally attractive but it is because he has so much more going on than just his physical attractiveness. I plan to hire him again in NYC before he leaves for other places and climes in July!

 

He may not be as attractive to some who are only looking for an hour or two of quick sex but I found his whole attitude and personality refreshing. JMHO!!! :) We all look for what is attractive for ourselves. Although I may think he's wonderful, he may not float your particular boat! Everybody has their own criteria for what type of man they desire.

Last summer I noted a Rentmen ad that said Adam would be in DC over a particular set of dates. I can't remember if the dates were in July or August as the listing changed after a short while. I contacted Adam and said I'd like to book a 2 hour meeting and gave a preferred date and an alternate in the initial message.

 

I also received the automatic response message in reply. This one said he was traveling, or about to travel to Latin America if my memory is correct. (I will admit to being fuzzy on some detail as this was over six months ago.)

 

Adam replied directly but informed me he would not be visiting DC. The reason was that he did not have enough pre-bookings to make the trip profitable. He stated that it was his practice to list a set of travel dates and if there are enough qualified client bookings he then goes forward with the trip. If there is not enough internet he cancels the trip listing.

 

I'm not able to locate the email exchange in my folders but if it turns up, I will refresh the details with more specifics.

 

So this turned out to be a disappointment before even confirming a booking. But I'd rather things had fallen through at this early stage than later. After this exchange I pretty much lost interest in Adam.

I was chatting with him last year and planned on meeting. I confirmed his $200 in-call rate listed. He said his rates on rentmen are not for escorting. They are his massage rates. The escort rates are listed on his personal website and much more. How would anyone know that? I told him that I wasn't interested. I personally see that as false advertising.

I am starting to feel as thought we are ganging up on some poor guy who is away and unable to defend himself, and that makes me feel bad.

 

However... I will add to this most recent post that "upsell" (as well as a very well oiled sself-promotion machinery) is not something unknown to the gentleman in question - which seems to run contrary to the persona he works hard to present to the world.

 

Sorry, Adam.

[Nvr2Thick]

I heard he once scowled at a kitten and it got sad.

[jjkrkwood]

He once sent me a smile on A4A, but I dont do massages.....

Only Monday morning and I already know this is going to be my favorite post of the week. Thanks, N2T!

Ganging up? I was under the impression that the purpose of this forum was to exchange information about hiring escorts. A question was asked about a particular escort. There have been various answers posted as to client experiences mainly related to his booking practices. If the impressions given run counter to the "very well oiled self-promotion machinery" then so be it. Not everyone is perfect.

 

No one is saying Adam is a bad escort. His reviews seem well deserved. It's up to the original poster and others to determine if the information is of value. So far, none of this appears to be ganging up on Adam but I'm cognizant that the replies could give such an impression. As long as people remain truthful in relating experiences then this board serves its purpose.

 

Adam may want to change some of his practices based on the feedback here. Or maybe not as he has an established business that appears to be working well for him. That's up to him just as its up to a potential client to decide if they are acceptable.

In such instance then, this message board has served its intended purpose.

As a newbie escort, working the Chicago and New York markets, he received 57 (!) positive reviews in his first year of operation, November 2013 to December 2014. Which is astonishing. In fact, so astonishing I didn't believe it. As others observed - he is a well oiled marketing machine.

 

His initial pitch was, if I remember correctly, that he was 'the son of a preacher'. Him being 'the son of a preacher' didn't entice me in any way though. But I will say, it was an attempt at creativity. This pitch was eventually dropped and he became known as 'AdamSimply'.

 

Bottom line is - he doesn't excite me. At all. I read the ad several times, looked at his pictures on his personal page ... nada. There are at least 30 guys in my gym I'd rather go to bed with. But that is just me. It does not reflect on the merits of this escort.

 

His pictures show a swanky apartment in Hells Kitchen. I know that costs money. So does a 2-month Sabbatical to Nepal. Good for him. He must have a stable client base of admirers who support his lifestyle. I wish him well. But it is 'simply' not going to work between us.

...and as I stated previously, everyone's criteria will vary. As for the question of upsell, if one does due diligence, one would know from his website exactly what he charges for each of his various services. Yes, he lives in a beautiful Hell's Kitchen high-rise building. If that is a reason to denigrate this escort, then I've got a number of really excellent escorts you should be sure to avoid.

I'm sorry. This statement just sounds like sour grapes because you failed to check out his complete price list on his website http://simplyadam.com/rates/ where all of his fees are quite clear. His fee for "Companionship and Erotic Mentorship" of $320/hr & $550 for 2 hrs is definitely in the NYC average price range. If you choose the $200/hr fee then he clearly states you are paying for "Bodywork and Cuddle Buddying." If his fees are more than you want to pay, that is your prerogative, but calling it false advertising when you are the one who failed to follow due diligence is not the escort's fault.

 

JMHO

...Cuddle Buddying.... (!!!!!)

Oh c'mon ... you're making that up!! ... anyone who wants a "cuddle buddy" ought to get himself to an animal shelter and rescue a pup.

I've been paid for that before. I found it odd myself, but the client seemed satisfied that he'd gotten his money's worth.

I disagree. While it'd be great if potential clients went from a rentmen ad to the escort's individual site, the fact is most don't. Most glean all the info they need from the original ad. And if he's going to bait and switch with the prices (listing a rate that's only for massage on his escort ad), then he could mention it somewhere in the multiple paragraphs of text included in that ad, rather than expecting the client to discover it as a small footnote elsewhere.

as usual, Kevin, wholeheartedly agree with you here - my "situation" was an upsell "in the midst of..." which I find particularly, mmm...., challenging.

I wonder if Adam is "feeling the vibes" of this thread while he is trying to find himself in Nepal

If he is, I hope he is able to find a Sherpa cuddle buddy to console him.

[BaronArtz]

I didn't denigrate this escort because of that. Au contraire, I said the swanky apartment must be an indication that he has a loyal following. I wished him well.

 

Next time, please READ what people WRITE.

 

Thank you.

He is actually on a retreat.

 

He is, as @VeryHappyCustomer states, on a retreat right now in Nepal.

Then why specifically list these availability dates in his ad, when clearly he is not available until after Feb 28?

 

I am traveling to:

 

Jan 17 - Feb 28

Chicago, IL

 

Jan 17 - Feb 28

Beijing, China

 

Jan 17 - Feb 28

Ryad, Saudi Arabia

 

Makes much more sense to hang a "gone fishing" sign until his return
