Back and Forth

I notice a lot of threads on here where clients are trying to gain information on the escorts and vice versa. It's like there's this massive gulf in understanding between what's reality for both parites, and the forums are sometimes being used to try and bridge that.

For example, I read a thread started by an escort where she was asking about why men text to try and make an appointment even though her profile explicitly says she does not responsd to texts. To me that means there is a very large and unappreciated gap between what is reality for clients and for escorts. On the client side I can say that a text may be sent for discreeteness. He may be in a room full of people thinking of later on in the the evening. Whereas the escort is working and awaiting appointments, but not by text for security reasons.

There's a gulf folks. I'm thinking we'll never totally bridge it but I'm also wondering if there's any chance we could both see each other's point of view. Possibly we already have, but what we've got is the best we can hope to achieve.

Just an observation.

I can understand why escorts don't want to respond to random texts.
They probably receive 100's every day and the majority are likely to be timewasters.
I can also understand a client's need to be discrete, and texting is more discrete than a phone call.
However, common courtesy would suggest that a phone call is a better way to book an appointment than texting, unless you have met the lady previously and she knows your number.

The gulf is routinely being bridged, every day. It's called sex.

Heres my tuppence worth on the topic...

Firstly, they do get a lot of texts from timewasters, could even be kids messing etc.

The discourage text for this reason but also because to send a text as a reply as opposed to answering a call uses up pay-as-you-go credit.

However as a punter, who could be making an appointment from the comfort of my open plan office, I often send a text.
Also because of language problems, I find it is best to make any detailed requests I have, by text.

However... Here is the trick. if you like to text, as I do, also promise to phone at a particular time, to confirm the appointment.

That way, you bypass being treated as a timewaster and the escort gets to hear your voice which can take some of the fear factor away from meeting a new client.

And the phone conversation is very simple, quick hello, how are you, are we ok for 6pm or whatever.
