Miss S. Lane 67128 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Hi ladies, I am going to get personal here: Scenario: you are a single lady out with your girlfriends and you meet a guy who piques your interest. You spend the next couple hours with drinks, dancing, whatever...he wants your number, you give it. Let's say he calls and you go on a more intimate date such as a nice dinner. At what point do you let him know your line of work and how do you deal with the worry that he may judge you? For myself, I would be honest and upfront from the get-go. If he had an issue with me, he wouldn't be worth my time. Just my opinion :) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you continue to date him or no longer date him RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fresh start 17467 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 1. I've only seen a few, but for those who don't put/advertise a schedule I would never attempt to contact via phone or txt unless an ad was put up same day. I hate getting bothered on my day off, so Is this appropriate or am I just over thinking it? 2. When initiating first contact via txt, I tend to start off very discretely, ex. (Hello, I was wondering if your available at such and such time.) I make sure not to mention name/alias or activity until a response is made. For the simple reason insure its the right number or precaution in case her phone is left some place where others may accidentally view. Do you prefer discretion on straight to the point to eliminate back and forth messages? Or perhaps your on example of a txt. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igab 5629 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Here's a question for you ladies. I like to compliment ladies on their appearance i.e if I'm particularly struck by a certain feature. For instance I might say something like "you have the most beautiful eyes" etc. It seems that sometimes SPs deflect this kind of praise or give a quick "thank you." Are sincere compliments acceptable? What is unacceptable? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advertising costs a lot of money, and sometimes you have to wait a bit til you have the money to post again, but it doesn't mean I don't want to be seeing anyone. So please! Call, text, email or PM me on any given day. 2. Being discreet is probably best. Thanks again, everyone, for all the questions and answers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate getting bothered on my day off, so Is this appropriate or am I just over thinking it? Im sure I'm not the only Sp here who doesn't put ads up everyday. This doesn't mean I'm not working. That's why we have websites. We don't just advertise on CERB. If I'm off I'll tell you so. Don't be afraid to ask. 2. When initiating first contact via txt, I tend to start off very discretely, ex.

Do you prefer discretion on straight to the point to eliminate back and forth messages? Or perhaps your on example of a txt. Again only speaking for myself. If your texting me I want it to read like an email. You can first ask if you have the right number but when it's confirmed I want your name etc. Believe me we can write a book on the stupid text messages and emails we get. Lol so be a gentleman and be polite. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bianca Jaguar 39183 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 that is a really good question... I'm not sure if i would want my man seeing escorts lol...may sound weird coming from an escort but if i was in a Relationship and my SO was seeing escorts I would rather not knowing...I'm being totally honest here ;) BJ Lets put the shoe on the other foot now so to speaklet's say you go out on a date with a guy (a civilian social date) and you like him and he likes you, and then he says, btw I see escorts. Would you continue to date him or no longer date him RG Additional Comments: I prefer straight to the point text...and i dont mind getting text anytime. If im busy with family, my phone is on discretion mode so there is no problem there... I do appreciate when the person texting asks where he would like to meet as I travel quite a bit ;) an area code doesnt necessarly tell me his location as he might be traveling ;) BJ 1.

Sometimes if I compliment a client he thinks I say that to all the guys...no I only say things I mean and like this board if I have nothing nice to say I say nothing at all. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgreen760 37785 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Lots of descriptors are used in this industry like Upscale, Elite, VIP, High End, Exclusive, escort, companion, courtesan, sex work (er), clients, dates etc. Is there a stigma or shame associated with using terms like prostitute and john which we don't see used very often yet are also apt descriptors?

Luckyme 41401 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 You have two individuals - one is a regular client and the other is a reputable cerb member who has never seen you.

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 You have two individuals - one is a regular client and the other is a reputable cerb member who has never seen you. If they happen to want to book you at about the same time, who will you give preference to? My regular of course! Reputable cerb members still might cancel, or do a no show. Having a good cerb reputation is great but it doesn't mean he'll be a good client for me. If I consider a gentleman a regular then he has been fun, reliable, someone I like and want to see again. Additional Comments: What would be the circumstances of your retirement from this business? Ill retire when I loose interest in this profession. When that happens it's my time, until then I'll enjoy it;) Additional Comments: Lots of descriptors are used in this industry like Upscale, Elite, VIP, High End, Exclusive, escort, companion, courtesan, sex work (er), clients, dates etc. Is there a stigma or shame associated with using terms like prostitute and john which we don't see used very often yet are also apt descriptors?

Peace MG I think there is a shame when the word prostitute is pronounced and for me a courtesan or a companion makes it more acceptable and classy...just my honest opinion! What would be the circumstances of your retirement from this business? Oufff...thats a though question!! I truly enjoy what I do and would keep doing it for a long time.....unless.. winning the lottery...no Financial worries ( might keep working still but not as much ;) Falling deeply in love and be supported financialy...:biggrin: You have two individuals - one is a regular client and the other is a reputable cerb member who has never seen you.

fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted February 27, 2014 You have two individuals - one is a regular client and the other is a reputable cerb member who has never seen you. If they happen to want to book you at about the same time, who will you give preference to? It wouldn't really matter, it is a first contact first served policy with me. Even if the calls are 2 minutes apart, someone had to call me first and request the time, and that is the person who is going to get that time. HOWEVER, keep in mind the new caller is just as likely to not confirm, and/or not show up, so caller #2, regular, may still end up with their preferred time. Many of my regs know i have a short notice confirmation/set up policy, so there is always a good chance they will call and I won't be available until a later time . Many can work that into their schedules.

Peace MG I think that where the words are used is in ads, so words like "i'm a prostitute looking for a john" in an ad would just not be great marketing. It isn't that it isn't true, it just isn't specific enough to target a type of clientele, nor descriptive enough to indicate the type of sp or experience the advertiser wants to convey. I use words like gentlemen, classy, mature and sensual in my ads. I find that it deters the rude, aggressive and PSE seekers, and attracts a gentler, polite and courteous caller. Not 100% of course, because some callers don't actually read the ad. I think that some advertisers are misusing some terms, and making them mean less. Usually the rest of the ad or types of pictures or maybe a lack of a website, or history, make it easy for the viewer to recognize that just using the words "Elite', or "Courtesan', or "Upscale' won't actually make that sp an elite, upscale courtesan, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one thing that stood out for me was that a client offered me a massage at the beginning of the appt (1h) and it lasted for 30 min :icon_biggrin:...omfg it was amazing! I felt like a queen!!
