I received one yesterday, and I guess either it's just a good tone message either it's reminder "hey I don't have too much clients now and need some help" ? Might be anything right?
But what if you got wife or GF it can really give you some hard time. I would like to hear any thoughts about this.

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT okay!
Highly UNprofessioanal.
I know many ladies do it, but that doesn't make it okay.
I've heard stories from gentleman like yourself that have told me providers text them when they are running specials, or need money.
I say... Budget. Desperate people do desperate things.
I do not use my personal phone for hobbying as when I say discretion is paramount to me for both parties, that's what I mean.
I understand that many hobbyists don't have burner phones, (they should, but some don't) so there is no way I'm risking their privacy looking for some business.
If someone tells me, hey, this is a burner phone, so you can text me anytime you want... I simply say " I won't"
However, I'm not much one for texting anyway. Especially chit chatting. Heck, I don't even like talking on the phone. I'm the kind who says what I have to say, and I'm done. Bye. Texting is time consuming and I get paid for my time. My conversation skills are great face to face, so I'm not a texter in the first place.
I know, I got off point.. Sorry.
So back to is it okay?
It is not in my opinion okay. One never knows where that person is, who's hands that phone is in, and so on.
Part of the thrill of all of this is, it's taboo, your secret. With that being said, I know there are a lot of variables, and even these type of relationships vary. But, I don't believe in it.
I'm interested in hearing other providers opinions. But my policy will not change.
