Guest Report post Posted May 2, 2014 How do you guys feel about escorts removing their phone number from any type of advertising or websites? Do you think it takes too much effort to contact an escort by email first, so she can then decide if she wants to give you her phone number? Or are you okay with this, you'd do anything the escort asks? To the escorts, do you do this and how has it worked for you? Of course if regulars choose, they can have their number put on the escorts phone(if the escort is okay with this) so they can bypass this step. You guys are the one's who partake in our services, so your input is crucial. Thanks in advance for your opinions. XoXo Peachy/Val. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss S. Lane 67128 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I have never and will never advertise my phone number. If a client cannot take the time to email me first, and display some patience, then I am not the companion for them. I always share that initial contact is via email, at which time further points of communication will be established. That's just what works for me and everyone really needs to fine what works them!!!! :) 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest **sh****he***ac***th Report post Posted May 2, 2014 Hi Peachy: I have no problem with it as I am always quite happy to make initial contact by email if that is what she desires and she can decide as to whether or not she would like to follow up with providing her contact number. I often use email as a point of first contact if it is encouraged by the lady I would like to see and I am fairly detailed as well which helps her with her screening process. It also helps me determine how we might get along with each other. If that is what you would prefer I am all for it Peachy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toklat77 4616 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I prefer to contact a Sp first by email as it is more convenient for me and then if I get a response from her, I can call her or set up the appointment via email too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
50 Shades Raven 31380 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I used to display my phone number on my profile page and on my website, but discontinued doing so due to the enormous amounts of repetitive texts/calls I would receive from any one gentleman. Not that I mind answering the phone or texts, but to have over 1500 from one in particular, with no booking in sight, really made me have the final decision to remove my phone number completely and change my number. I will always be open to answering questions, but I do ask that anyone wishing to inquire do so through PM here, or through my contact page on my website. That way, I can have a more detailed question to answer. Should the gentleman be gracious enough to give his contact number and preferred way to communicate, then we can move forward. If the gentleman chooses not to reveal any way to contact him, then obviously we are not going to connect. I will always try to be as accommodating as possible to a gentleman, but please bear in mind that sometimes we, as providers, cannot answer our phones due to where we may happen to be at any particular moment in time. Discretion is a very large part of our business, and having a phone call at a very inconvenient moment takes that discretion away. I prefer to be in a private area with no distractions so that I may hear the gentleman and be able to answer his inquiries. Can't really do that when I'm standing in the line at the grocery store, or waiting in my doctors office waiting room. :) Patience is certainly a virtue, and I most certainly appreciate the gentlemen that do adhere to my request for PM or through contact. I, like them, am not available 24/7. I do sleep sometimes. I agree with Savannah, that if a gentleman wishes to communicate with me in the manner that I have chosen, then there is the start of compatibility. I do give the gentleman the option of having his phone number on my phone, that way, if he chooses to contact me again, I know who is calling and it does bypass the awkwardness of having to state that I am not in a good area, can I call you back in ten minutes. Great thread, will look forward to seeing some other reactions. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I am a bit opposite to what has been said here so far. I advertise my number because of the over whelming amount of emails, that later I would discover were just fishers and jokers. So now, I prefer a txt and voice call to book and inquire. Of course I always ask them to review my site before calling or txt back. This helped with long winded txt inquiries, " just go to my site for all the details". I found it was easier for me to discover who the fakers were, as the fakers did not want to call from an unblocked number. Anyone can be on the other side of the email, but when calling me, it is easier for to detect the fakers out there. I found it easier to book/inquire with phone calls, rather then trying to guess if this email was sincere or not. Less time consuming and less no shows/cancelations too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jafo105 39057 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I have no problem with escorts removing their phone number from ads. I actually prefer e-mails for first contact. Nothing worse than calling someone by phone and catching them off guard, or at a bad time, or not at their best. I have no problem with the lady saving my cellphone number to her cellphone. Just anticipate that I will do the same with her cellphone number. On a side note: Texting lingo and internet abbreviations are fine if you are contacting friends or associates - contacting a potential client or SP is not one of them. IMHO. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I get all kinds of excuses as to why men can't send an email-I don't have access to a computer, I can't or don't know how to send an email, not comfortable sending one, it's to complicated, to time consuming, etc,etc.. But thankfully these excuses identify that this person is not one I want to meet. I believe that no matter how you decide to screen or accept appointments those wanting to see YOU will take those necessary steps, difficult or not, time consuming or not. Respectful gentlemen realize the importance of discretion, following instructions and booking protocols and don't question or complicate things. Additional Comments: I am a bit opposite to what has been said here so far.

My experiences have been the same , although I've omitted text for one of the reasons being the same as the email fakers. I ask for an email for the gents details other than that I want to discuss my services and details over the phone only and NEVER through texting . However a lot of guys I talk to say okay I'll send you the email required and never do, so I do get some players/fakers on the phone as well:( I guess no matter what method we use there'll be idiots with lots of time on their hands. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnite-Energies 110563 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I for one dislike talking on the phone except for a couple exceptions. In previous careers I was always attached to a phone or a radio or something that made me entirely dislike them. I also have had past issues with cell phone radiation and try to keep it away from my body, especially my head, as much as possible. This for me is the bigger issue. I only have a cell phone for texting, emails and other features I use regularly. I do not put my number in any advertising or on any website and actually removed a website that did and couldn't promise me control over it. I do provide my number to those I have seen and they can use it or not as they see fit. I try to be as accommodating as possible and will use the phone if someone has a reason for it. Mind you, the conversations are very brief. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 In my opinion most guys will generally follow the path of least resistance.... in a world of smart / mobile phones I think this often means if the phone number is in the ad or on the website they will probably call or text as a first option ( I know lots of guys also like email first). I kinda think it is really up to each SP to decide what works best for them ... communicate it in their ads and website and stick with it.... it's their business they get to choose. I have contacted SP'S by phone and email and text and by PM.... they have all worked and I hope in each of these cases I respected the ladies preferences. I will say my most successful encounters with repeats seem to have started with more detailed email communications at the start. Just my opinion 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentleman11 10508 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I actually like initial contact to be made by email preferably after being able to look at a lady's online (i.e. CERB, her own website) profile. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Be***iful****lah Report post Posted May 2, 2014 So far I have not once given out my number, not for texting nor for calling. I get that it can be more convenient for sure, but it would't well represent the fact that every exchange I have with the gentleman, be it messages or in person will be one of quality. You won't likely send an e-mail that has only five words in it, which is exactly my point. To send that e-mail you will likely take a few moments to think about what you are going to say. And I will always reply with as much or more effort. I get that it can be time consuming, but for myself it's a two way street. By the time you actually meet me in person I will have already invested a lot of my time and energy into ensuring you feel comfortable and are excited about the connection and chemistry to repeat in person as it does through our messages. The other thing is that if I were to receive texts, I would feel the obligation to reply immediately. So either they get a rushed reply with little or no thought, or else they may feel ignored because like it or not, when someone sends a text there is always that expectation to get a quick reply. I have absolutely zero issues with people who use that method, in fact I think it's great that they have the flexibility to offer that option. I can filter people out very quickly with e-mails. You either take the time to get to know me or you don't. But I won't meet with you if I feel like you are uninterested in putting the effort that I am willing to put in. E-mails clearly require more effort. I could be wrong, but so far this is my experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stand on guard 1186 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I would think this filters out unwanted late night calls, repetitive queries from tire kickers and those not likely to follow through with an appointment, At the end of the day, if you do go ahead and make plans to meet, you will get the SP's number anyway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warped88 5815 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 Email will always be my preferred option. Always. Like others have said, I despise talking on the phone (I actually just gave in over the last year and purchased my FIRST mobile phone). There's a couple of reasons for this, in my case: 1) It seems less intrusive. The provider can respond at their convenience. I consider myself a pretty considerate person, so I like that. 2) I'm shy by nature. 3) As has always been the case with me, I'm far more articulate with the written word than spoken. If I'm nervous, I can come across as completely idiotic on the phone...lol. So, long story short, I'm relieved when there is no phone number. ;) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athos 108589 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 e-mail is always my preferred option for contact. In fact, if a lady only has a phone number and not an e-mail option, I'll likely not contact her. I realize that this problably isn't fair, and it is not intended as any sort of reflection on the provider. It is simply how I like to make contact. Whichever option is chosen, there are advantages and disadvantages. At the end of the day, you simply need to decide which method suits you and your preferred way of doing business. I rather doubt it will greatly affect demand for services. Porthos 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regent 35404 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I only do email for initial contact, and it seems to be working fine. For the type of service I provide, having a client's introduction and details about their desires in a format I can review before our session is important. I also rarely do same day bookings, dislike talking on the phone and am rarely in a position to answer a phone call discreetly. To make life simpler, I have a contact form on my website. If you can view my site, you can contact me by email - you don't even have to login into your email. And even if a client doesn't have an email address, they have the option of sending me an email and having me call or text them back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JodyWild 4740 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I don't think it matters...to each their own. I myself do not advertise my number to keep it safe and also cuz I do have a small child...although he is not here when I do work but for myself it's a safety thing...but if I have seen you at least once or more and plan to repeat I will give my cell out to those through Pm. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luckyme 41401 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I am someone who writes better than speaks. So, naturally I prefer writing an email than talking on the phone. It just gives me more time to think about and use the appropriate words although I try not to emulate JK Rowling :icon_wink:. I also prefer to plan ahead. So, sending an email to introduce myself and to book an appointment is perfectly fine with me. If it is a last-minute type of scenario, then I would use my phone and only if this is an acceptable method specified by the SPs or agencies. I tend to think that if you use emails and do not provide the phone number, you might avoid some tire-kickers. But it seems it is not always the case as Sophia stated. The bottom line for me is, I will contact a lady in whatever way she stipulates in her ad., be it phone call, text, PM or email. It does not make sense if one can't even respect that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 Always, Always, I use the lady's preferred method of contact. But I must say I prefer using email, because first off I do plan encounters months ahead, and the ladies I see require screening/verification including a reference. Sending an email allows for me to provide all the required information Second, I live in smalltown, Ontario and besides planning encounters months ahead, no matter where I see a lady it's a long distance call, on a cell phone. Now if the lady I email wants to talk to me I will phone her...I pick a time to call where the call will be discrete for the both of us. But using emails is fine by me, as long as there is a final way to contact the lady to let her know my hotel room number (I like outcalls), be it by text, phone, email, whatever.

Reddog01 30280 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I prefer to strictly use email all the way through the communications and booking process. I have the means and tools to do this quickly and efficiently. When travelling I use Wifi to send my messages and if I am out of contact for a while I will let her know in advance. Having said that, I purchased a separate (hobby) phone to allow me to text and or call to make final/confirmation arrangements in accordance with some SP's operating procedures. This was usually the case for in-calls. A bit of a challenge/hassle for me as I use a pay as you go plan at a minimum of 10$ a month that I rarely use. I constantly let it lapse, the phone is dead, and then am faced with buying a coupon and re-activation. I find now more SPs are comfortable with just email which you can manage over your regular smart phone and that works great for me. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O'Cahla 4352 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I actually prefer to get to know an SP or Ma by PM or mail first and even then perhaps as said before, do the complete booking that way.

Guest R**3*9 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 E-mail/PM is the only way that I will get in contact. E-mails are a great way to see if someone is willing to take the time to get to know me and let me get to know them. I would love if more ladies used this from of communication. To me it seems like it's convenient for both of us, we can respond when it suits either of our schedules. It usually takes me about 30 mins to compose a message so I need the time to not sound too foolish. LOL Meeting someone for the first time is also significant commitment and I like to see if we can get along first. E-mail seems to work for me...oh and I don't own a cell phone. I have a little personal two message 'non harassment' policy as well ;-). I will only send someone two PM's/e-mails in a row and if they don't reply I assume they don't want to see me so I go away. It also helps me to discipline myself as I have a tendency to ramble a tad...LOL and if I don't get a reply from e-mail #1 within a week or so I want to hang onto e-mail number 2 until I can attempt a meet especially if its someone I've been messaging for a little while.

cinelli 22184 Report post Posted May 3, 2014 I have no problem sending an email inquiry with my phone number. Considering the volume of inquiries most ladies get, it would be more practical for the ladies to go through them at their leisure instead of being constantly interrupted. It might also separate the wheat from the chaff. Can't send an email? Good grief, if that's the case you probably don't want them as a customer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
