So I am on grindr and chatting with people all people.

Some profiles straight up have the ?when looking for gen people, the word phrase 'looking for gen"

or they ask if you are gen.

 

So when I reply and say I have been known to be generous in the past and they quote me a price for example 50.00 or

they ask me to name my price.... I just wonder hmmmm

Why will people continue to pay 250 to 350 or more for people advertising on Rentmen?

Will you continue to pay the higher price for your guy on on Rentmen?

times are changing.

Thanks

I would be willing to guess that most Grindr guys don’t really know the business.

Ever since they’ve deleted prices on RM, the entire pricing scheme has gotten much

more opaque. Overall, I’d say it drove up the prices on the pro’s and drove down the

prices on the amateurs, but that‘s only my impression.

 

Just like some guys were attracted to street trade back in the day, some guys prefer

the amateur experience. Searching for the diamond in the rough can be fun and

sometimes the Pros are just a little too polished.

 

The down side is the same as there was with street trade. More drugs and less reliable.

But it’s not like those issues don’t plague the Pro side as well. Sometimes even more so.

At the end of the day, it’s an interaction between two humans, and thus the real life variables

are endless.

 

I’ve enjoyed both. It’s capitalism at its best. Like buying diamonds, you don’t always get

what you pay for, even at Tiffany’s. You’re just less likely to be robbed and killed at

Tiffany’s.

I would be very wary of those "looking for gen" guys. They have been popping up on pretty much every hookup app there is. The typical exchange goes like this:

Him: hi

Me: hi

Him: *unsolicited dick pic of torso pic, faceless*

Me:

Him: You Gen?

Me: *block*

Given the amount of robberies and worse crimes that come from these apps, self preservation and caution is the order of the day.

I agree 100%! If I have to choose extra cash or extra risk, I'll go with extra cash every time.

I've had a couple good long term arrangements with guys off grindr for well below market rate, but I've also been burned a few times, I'd like to think I'm older and smarter now but it's 100% a mixed bag like the guys before said. Above all if the guy is out of this world hot and too good to be true, he's probably a fake.

Grindr may be a mixed bag, but you can also hit the jackpot. Lots of young guys who are super hot and don't know what their market value is. These are generally not professional escorts so you need to adjust some of your expectations about the "perfect escort experience" or BFE. You get what you pay for, but you can occasionally hit the jackpot on Grindr.

I think if you follow common sense it would work: for example

 

a profile with clear picture

a clear negotiation with demands met beforehand

no deposit or cash transfer until meet

meet at public space first, like a bar

(and this step is important if you like twinks: CHECK ID)

I found a guy on Grindr who turned out to be a local model from Milan. We've had a few meetings at his place over the years. Eventually, he turned out in rentmen and started charging the going rate (as opposed to 1/3 of that). It was fun while it lasted. I found the 'amateur' feeling of the initial meetings very exciting!

I’ve never used Grindr. Are the guys looking for “generous” company on Grindr reliable? Not everyone on RM is reliable, but at least we have some recourse through reviews on RM and here.

 

EDIT: I just saw nycman’s post above.

 

and there's a CC on file and an verified ID in some cases.

 

Besides RM guys usually expect to be hired mostly by guys who are older and out of shape. Grindr guys might get tempted about the "easy" money but would they get hard or interact if they're just not accustomed to have sex with someone they find unattractive?

 

I'm sure some have plenty of free time to search for someone who will escort for them but not for others but this reminds me of CL and BP.

 

This isn't the first time we talk about this, here's a wonderful post from @Benjamin_Nicholas

 

I can't disagree with much of what you're saying, especially if an escort has a string of reviews, here and other places. That's usually more than enough info for a client to make an educated decision.

 

For a completely new guy or a Grindr/app situation, that's different. As with Craigslist before that, you pays your money, you takes your chances. In the search for the Holy Grail (a discount rate), don't be shocked if you get a discount experience.

 

So far, this whole thread makes me want to remind guys to be fully aware of their surroundings, have an exit strategy and learn to protect yourself.

I have found so many guys off Grindr I've lost count tbh. None have been bad and surprisingly most have been absolutely amazing! 2 guys I saw on and off for 2 years, others have been one time things. A few years back I met a 6'6" 19 yr old white Twink that had the biggest uncut dick I've ever seen and he was absolutely amazing and very friendly with me even till this day. I also was lucky enough to meet Liam Mason off Grindr when he was 20 and we meet up several times for a few years. Those of you who know Liam, know he's a very well searched model from a few years back, so the possibility of meeting some really hot guys is there.

And don’t forget DoubleList and adam4adam. On the old Craigslist I would cruise the MALE-4-FEMALE ads. I’m into muscular guys. I’d make contact and ask them if they like to show off their bodies. I did get a lot of No’s but then met up with a guy with a very ripped muscular body, beautiful 8” Dick (6’, 220 lbs) who loves to show it off. I enjoy exploring him and playing with him. I can do an overnight with him for a lot less then what some guys are charging for an hour on rent.men .

Grindr has worked for me.

I've paid way less than the escort going rate.

I'd say it's been 80% great as long as I don't have high expectations.

The key is to keep precautions, i.e.: ask for a couple of pics, neighbourhood, meet in public space first, have an exit strategy, etc.

Note: Grinder bans generous and their seekers alike, so a subtle approach is always better.

I once asked a young fine-looking man if he'd like some incentive$, which he took as an afront.

It didn't take long until he, and maybe a couple more, reported me and got me banned.
