+ DrownedBoy Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 The only providers who blocked me were little girls who freaked out when I described what I wanted them to do.

If you get blocked immediately, it means either one of two things: 1. Your opening statement is offensive or too pushy. Care to share what it is? 2. You did something wrong and are on a black list somewhere. NYXboy, + Pensant and + José Soplanucas 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeamerBikes Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I had one block me right after a session. Very odd because I’m usually fairly self aware and didn’t think the massage was off. I texted to rebook. No issues rebooking and we have had multiple sessions since then. We never spoke of it. I’m curious if it was just a vibe thing or feared a bad review?

+ Axiom2001 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 One provider blocked me after I'd canceled while in his messy living room; he unblocked me after a few months; then wrote me telling me that someone showed him what I'd written at this site about our time together; then he'd wanted to blame me for slow business. I addressed his concern, but unfortunately, he failed to believe me and blocked me again. There are more men than he, so I can live with not getting together again, something that I'd truly yearned at the time. I deleted my initial post about him and all related communication, so NO ONE can read about this man who had the finest ass that I yearned and beautiful helmet-headed cock.

+ azdr0710 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) for those who don't want to be blocked by Rentmen advertisers (providers/escorts) or clients or for those who are otherwise concerned about who sees you poking around....... go to your "My Settings"......go to your "Privacy Settings".......go to "Allow members to see if I have checked them out" and set the drop-down menu to "No - don't track me".....other preferences under "Privacy Settings" may also be adjusted to your liking.....

What exactly did you say to deserve being blocked? Just curious! 1 hour ago, Trick said: Some providers have blocked me even before I initiated contact. I know of escorts who block guys who have several negative reviews in their profile. They simply want to avoid dealing with our client who has reviewed others in a negative way. I don't know if that's the case... 49 minutes ago, BeamerBikes said: I had one block me right after a session. Very odd because I’m usually fairly self aware and didn’t think the massage was off.

Exactly that's what he feared. Maybe you should talk to him and review him favorably! One of my escort friends blocked someone because he messaged him: "what can I get for 100?"

Provide some context please. No one blocks for no reason. I’ve hired him and he’s a great provider. Have you flaked before? Have you chatted previously or asked for additional pics without hiring? Did you ignore any instructions on what to do when contacting them? Did you open the conversation with “What’s your rate?” Is your profile new? Is your profile info incomplete? Are you not a Premium Member? Have you not left any reviews for other providers? Were you not respectful? Were you overly sexual or trying to sext for free? All these could be considered red flags. If you answered yes to any of these, that’s probably why you got blocked. And successful providers who have a steady clientele base and don’t have to say yes to everyone are usually very quick to block arjoness06, JTtorretto, NYXboy and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarchy79 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 If someone blocks you (on any site or social platform), accept that and move on. The person wants nothing to do with you and they have that right. Just like you have the right to block people when the tables are turned. + azdr0710, starman05, Danny-Darko and 9 others 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 One provider blocked me because he confused me with someone else. I reached out on messenger and he replied back we talked before already remember. And then I was blocked. 🤣 I could have reached out by text but I like to at least get an initial feel through messenger and obviously that wasn't a good first impression. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeamerBikes Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think my provider probably just couldn’t read me. I sent a single follow up text a month or so later to schedule another session, and everything proceeded as if nothing happened. I’ve seen him fairly regularly. Agreed though with everyone else said. You may never know what caused the block. If it happened before any meet up - especially so. You will just have to look inward a little bit, but let it go - it’s probably the other side if you didn’t have any of the red flags listed above.

viewing ownly Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Two cardinal sins of getting blocked or not scheduled to begin with are 1. Being too sexually forward with initial contact. I did this when I was brand new to seeing some company, not at all taking into account how foolish I'm looking on the receiving end of my message. 2. Being an all-around grouse during a session. They are there for the purpose of relaxing you, so if you're having a bad moment in your life, put it in check - they don't want to hear it, and CERTAINLY don't want to hear some more with you again! Take the block as a blessing and a wake-up call. They've made it clear that they're done with you. Learn from it, and find other guys. pubic_assistance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would the provider know this if the blocking was done before meeting in person? Plus escorts shouldn’t really discriminate for these listed things. Not saying they can’t, but rentmen isn’t grindr. On the other side of things I have blocked escorts. Normally right after leaving a negative review I will block the provider, so they can’t reach out to me or block me first. But I don’t leave negative reviews often, since most of my experiences are positive. Edited July 10 by caramelsub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maninsoma Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I've read here that some providers will block people who view their photos a lot without reaching out to them to book. I'm not sure why that would bother a provider since I don't think their ad rate is dependent on how many times its viewed, but it seems to rub some guys the wrong way. musclestuduws, Danny-Darko and JTtorretto 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some providers assume multiple photo views indicates someone is getting off looking at their photos (instead of paying the provider to get off in-person). For me, repeat views is an indicator of my bad memory. + Kevin Eagle, + APPLE1, + José Soplanucas and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for the actual conversation I did start the conversation with what’s your rate but what’s wrong with that? Nothing is necessarily “wrong” but opening up a conversation with a rate inquiry is tacky and immediately makes you sound poor. You basically introduced yourself as “Hi I’m a bargain shopper, is this the discount escort section?” l’m sure this is a turn off for providers, especially for the more elite providers who are only interested in wealthy clients. A wealthy client will NEVER start a conversation with a rate inquiry because money isn’t an issue. Furthermore his rates could differ based on the desired service (massage vs dinner companion vs BFE). But it appears you didn’t include what you were looking for or even a basic greeting.
