What does that even mean?

Following your reasoning I guess eating anything and drinking water are artificial, apparently all human activities are “artificial” for you. I guess my comment hit a nerve. I don’t have time for idiocy. Sorry everyone else. Hard to believe my joke would spark such a ridiculous debate. Has anyone actually met this provider? 

It may have started as trend in the 1970s with the advent of characters with extraordinarily full lips. 🤣

When did some people start thinking that swollen, ridiculously plumped up lips are sexy and attractive? People look like cartoons of themselves. Such a huge turn off for me. I have seen so many beautiful people ruined their faces by doing this. Sorry to go off topic and vent my frustration 😁Carry on guys. 

I stopped being attracted to him the moment he started using a filler for his lips. it's not my cup of tea.

Great chest, ruined by his tats! IMO

That was also my experience the last time I saw so haven't seen him again.   He was always very clean during other appointments though. I figured it was just a fluke but sounds like others have experienced the same thing.

Yet another guy who doesn't understand the English descriptions cut and uncut. This is often the case with non-native speakers.

Was completely meh.   Good body but older (older than his pics).   Billed himself as incredible masseur but was average at best.  

GabeBrasz showed up with a local friend who did nothing though they charged for 2 guys. Gabe charged 400 bucks and claimed to be a passionate kisser and talented orally, but he just wanted to receive oral and not much else. He was constantly on text booking other customers. They were out in 20 minutes. 
 
I checked later with a guy who wrote a bad review and he had the exact same experience. 100% not recommended. Save your money and spend on someone worth it. 

Gave him a try. Photos are accurate and he’s quite nice. Mediocre massage. But collected money upfront and then shorted me on time. A lot. 

No one mentioned one issue with rentmen and texting and phone calls.
To have a client's review accepted and printed in the provider's ad, if a client cannot "prove" that they "met" the provider, and by "proof" rentmen wants to see some communication on the rentmen site that the provider and client actually communicated with one another. 
For rentmen's reasons, a client's review will not be accepted by rentmen unless there is some communication on the rentmen site between the provider and the client.  
I recently had a conversation with a rentmen exec in Germany about another issue.  The exec admitted that the communication requirement on rentmen is not "fool proof" that the provider and client met but there is another reason (too long to go into now) that makes rentmen require at least one "back and forth" chat on the rentmen site between the provider and client.  
So, unless you do not plan to write a review or if the provider does not care about reviews, rentmen communication is not important.   If you or the provider want a review, at least start the communication with a rentmen chat of sorts.   Then you can switch to text or another form of communication.   
I know for a fact that when a provider has a huge number of positive reviews, clients are more likely to hire the provider that has many positive reviews versus a provider with zero or only one or two reviews.  

which is why I prefer email.  :-) but to each their own; again, I'm old :-)

Clients contact me by text, WhatsApp, Twitter DM, message on Rentmasseur and occasionally email. Some even make a telephone call!! 
I prefer WhatsApp because it’s immediate. The trouble with email is that it’s not so immediate; conversations tend to be over days rather than hours or minutes as with texts or WhatsApp. However I do understand why clients don’t want to use their phone (mainly for discretion) so it’s fine to book via email…just don’t try to book a short notice session by email! 

Agree with the other most recent comments.  Avoid.  There are lots of better choices.

Terrible communication.   Usually responds about two weeks later.   He told me his rate was $180 for him to massage me and $150 for the client to touch him.   I asked him if I misunderstood his reply but he confirmed I did not.  He said this is an additional service he offers in case the clients want to touch him.   That was a quick, hard pass for me.

No need to make it a big thing

I'm the 10% that doesn't tip unless the service is coming from a spa. If an individual is charging $200 - $300 for 60 minutes then that is a great hourly wage. I agree if the service is above and beyond then I will tip but otherwise no.

the concept of tipping is wildly out-of-control in the US.  
for professional services, tipping was always a discretionary add-on for someone that did not get compensated for the full fee paid.  example - I go to a barber who doesn’t own the shop.  The shop takes a cut of the service fee paid & my tip brings the compensation in line within the total fee paid.  It was not customary to tip the owner of the shop because they get the full fee paid.  Servers in restaurants is something different altogether because they typically make hourly wages far below minimum wage and it is customary to always tip 15-20% for satisfactory service in the US - more than 20% if the service is outstanding.
for US based providers where they are running their own business and realize all of the fee in cash and charge $250-$350 per hour, I’m not sure where the expectation of tips comes in.  I frequently tip providers if the service is outstanding, or they come short-notice or they stay beyond the booked time.  I don’t normally tip if the time is one-hour and the service is basic or average.  If a provider needs more money to make the transaction worthwhile, then just charge a higher hourly rate.  Much better to be straightforward and transparent vs some unwritten vague rule/expectation that may lead to disappointment. 
Europe & Japan are much more civilized where tipping is not a thing and the prices are based upon wages that fairly compensate the workers. Tipping there is the exception rather than the rule.
 

Same here. I don’t usually tip bc they’ve set their price. If they go above and beyond or are not a clock watcher, I’ll tip. 
 
We had an amazing time with Seamus Sunday and I gave him an extra $50. 

Same here. As a general rule, i dont tip for reasons above unless (i) for wow session, i would tip to round-up the payable or $50 (whichever more convenient) or (ii) if said provider provides extra-mile (eg arranging 3some) or I simply like that person that much, would tip up to more (either in % or $, again whichever more convenient).

This is the reason I DON'T tip most providers.  They set their own rate.  They work directly for themselves.  If we had an above average time, I usually schedule a 2nd appointment with him before leaving his apartment or my hotel room.  All have been happy to have me as a repeat customer with no tip.
There have been very few times a provider has asked or hinted about gratuity... And those providers were mediocre.
I will leave a big tip if the man works at a spa, since it is the spa that sets the rate.

Reason number billion I’m glad this forum exists: I would have never even considered that I might be expected to tip someone I’m paying directly for a service.
