You are correct, I thought of that but Burger King has become insignificant in the fast food industry.

That baffles me. I would love some providers' insight as to why that happens.

This will always happen with some. Can't say why they do this although it is disrespectful as hell. Always have a 1st 2nd & 3rd choice to see in the area you plan to drive to.

Don't book 2nd & 3rd initially just get screened by them and let them know you may be in the area on x date and time. Ask if they would be up for a meeting just in case you are. If the 1st falls through move on to the next available choices that you have preset.

Why compare
providers to food,
we have a job same

answer his phone every
second of the day
or return a phone
call if he gets
Over loaded.

OK folks, first of all I have no problem finding great providers and every one of them have been very responsive. There are numerous reasons why a provider does not respond and I totally understand that. All I am saying is if a provider wonders why a hobbyist passes her by after she responds may want to check how long was the time between initial contact and providers response.
Take a break people, calm down....And yes my experience.....

Is it a regular member using a second handle? Probably. Is it cool? No. Is he tactful in how he makes his point? No. Does he make a fair point? Yes.

Women that don't "take care of business" lose out on opportunities.

Is it a good reminder? Particularly for some that are having a slow post-holidays, bad weather January? Yes.

On the other hand if you have plenty of clients, feel free to ignore him.

Two points worth considering:
1) The women replying to this have to reply in a certain way on a coed board to "protect their brand" -- of course they are busy, have more clients than they know what to do with, always are great at responding, they aren't BP gals,etc.
2) Guys at all price points to pay attention to how prospective companions "take care of business." That doesn't mean they need to accept same day rush appointments, but prompt, efficient communication is valued.

I don't check emails while "on the clock" with another man. When I'm with someone, no one else matters during our time together and I am certainly not looking for my next roll in the hay, while still in the arms of Mr. rightnow.

And I've had appointments that last days. (3-4 days). While most of my appointments are 4-12 hours long, I may take 24 hours to respond to an email. When I'm not with a client, I check my email constantly and normally respond within minutes, but I won't normally book a same-day appointment. So, it wouldn't matter that he wants to get me immediately, he'll have to wait.

I do treat this like a business, but I am still professional enough to give the one I'm with my undivided attention. He is my bird in my hand, you may be one of the two that want to be in my bush.

I can't speak for all of us but I will say that if I contact a provider by the method she wishes or if no suggestion than thru he I expect a response in a reasonable amount of time but no more than 24 hours.. If not planning a future appt you better be responding in minutes not hours because we are interested now not hays from noy. Personally, I may contact a few providers for an appointment and the one I decide to see is usually the one who responds in a timely manner and is personable(in other words not one liners)
Don't be surprised when you lose an appointment when you do not respond for hours.
Just a suggestion. Be safe and have fun

I feel you are correct when you state, "prompt, efficient communication is valued." However, as the lady above stated, ladies who take care of their business, do provide as prompt communication as is available, without allowing quality of their services provided to be interrupted by another.

I read once about gents who were subjected to ladies texting while engaged in "the act". Talk about multi-tasking! LOL. Your dime for my time is how I feel. Many here tolerate many different things, but there's quality providing in the "now", as opposed to providing for a lot of gents at once. A quality service is not only worth paying for, but maybe also waiting for, if need be. It's all subjective.
Is she worth it, isn't she worth it, what are you willing, or even not willing to do to have a shot at experiencing, whatever it is that you desire with the lady you feel can fulfill those desires?

Please forgive all of us!!!

Really? Don't you think this is known? Maybe you don't get a response because of the way you address these people. You know, these human beings, these women. If you are polite and write so whoever doesn't have to guess at your words, you might get a prompt response. If you don't, then just accept that the lady doesn't want your business and move on to the next. Maybe she will be desperate to take your money.
