What things in ad set off your alarm bell

Let me shed some light on this

Some ladies are not as punctual as others, if you call a few minutes away, they can tell you if they are running late. Better than you sitting there waiting on her in the driveway.

Or maybe they need much longer to get ready for you..

Or maybe she schedules a bit close together and wants to make sure the previous client is out the door before you show up..

Or it could be you live in an area with a high rate of NC/NS, and the lady wants to make sure you really are on your way before she checks into a hotel (in the case of ladies without a permanent incall)

I had an apartment, so I would give my address to men a few hours before so they could map it and plan how long they needed to arrive on time, but I did always ask for a courtesy call 10-15 minutes out to make sure I was finished showering etc


and Altcomedy -
I actually had a few guys (when I was newbie friendly) run out without paying because all they had was a debit card.
So I bought a CC machine and had an account set up for processing (Visa only, but that seemed to be the most common)
After 6 months of using it only twice, I stopped seeing new-to-the-hobby guys and got rid of it. It just wasn't cost efficient to keep.

But I was known to have lots of interesting things at my incall.. like a defibrillator.

I'm sure some of those are good reasons. I just never liked the feeling being on some kind of string.

By the way you have very pretty eyes

At least your are consistent! And also threadjacking, this one is concerning provider ads not client calls. Feel free to start yet another thread on this subject if you feel its necessary.

I do this. I do give a general area for travel time, I live near a major landmark. tell them to call at point A which is minutes from me. I do this as an extra back up so I can keep an eye out for LE to roll up. Harder for them to be less conspicuous when they cant be waiting staking out my address. I certainly dont do to be "shady" and they are going to have to work harder to get me if you know what I mean.

Screening is not fool proof, this is a high risk business. Either way nothing is fool proof in any business. Shit happens.

Love this!!!

OMG your right. I shouldn't come on here when I'm half asleep.

Nice thread. I agree with many, but there's one 'alarm' that I think DEFINITELY needs to be on here. I'm not going to say it. I'll let someone else do that.

Yeah I don't thing this is a big deal. Standard "2 call" system. "Call me from the the parking lot and I'll give you the room/apt. number."

Now, "go to the Exxon Station off the exit. Call me from the pay phone...." is a red light

Mixed match pictures just might be the worst.

Geez, if you're going to steal pics, at least steal a matching set. Big butt on THIS pic, spinner material on THAT pic. Big boobs HERE, not so much here. And we know when the pics are different people because of things like size, skin tone, etc. Or they'll steal a porn star's pics, like we don't recognize THEM either. Come on, make an effort. Oh, it'd be nice to bang Julia Bond for a buck 20.

I've even seen pics of ladies in Dallas be used in middle of nowhere places in like, Michigan or Virginia (I look through random places just for shits and giggles sometimes).

[last call]

I guess it would have to be all the variations added to the term GFE. Just say GFE

yeah or they lift pics and don't bother to crop out the logos

another one is anything that suggests the session is not all inclusive:
horrible is something like "upgraded sessions available"
I don't even like "tips appreciated" or "generous guys wanted." These may be innocent but in some cases may imply upsell. Just tell me what the price is all in and I will decide yes or no....

Aww, but some of us change our appearance quite a bit.
FML, I just saw a pic linked from a review on me in 2006..
I've lost weight, gotten tanner, shaved my hair off, dyed my hair brown for a while, grew it back out, got 2 tattoos, went back to pale again (redhead vs the sun. i just never win lol)

But yes, I've seen what you're talking about.

Lilred robin...

The thread was "What things in ad set off your alarm bell"

It wasn't are these 100% logical. Lots of the things we see, we have learned to equate with ladies "Cookie cutting" from other ladies ads, and gives us pause that the lady has not been at this long, or may be a total rob. Sure I'd like a lady that is open minded, but stating so in an ad, is not a great indication she is.

My favorite example is a lady who refers to herself as classy in an ad:

Have you ever noticed...

Those who are "Classy" never say a word about being classy.

Those who say they are "Classy", usually fail to meet the definition.

Let me take as an example, your first pet peeve...

Sure you think this is reasonable. But I may see it another way. You may attempt to learn from how we see it, but I doubt you are going to change guys minds, as these skills are honed after years of bad experiences.

For example, I think that if a lady says she doesn't want calls or texts after some time in the evening, (and you clearly say why the gents need a hobby phone in the next item.) it is a pretty good indication that she doesn't know how to turn off the ringer, or silence her phone... and I'm going to end up hearing the damn thing go off the entire time of my appointment! If you have a hobby phone, why not just turn it off when you don't want to get calls, or be awakened by guys?

That was only your first point, and your reason of why it shouldn't be an issue for me, only serves to make me believe you see only one side of the issues... the side you identify with.

Your comments are akin to me trying to tell the ladies here why their pricing structure is crazy!

My suggestion, read the thread and try and see it from the guys perspective. These things are generalities, and as a result there will always be exceptions.

Just always use current pics and no problem. ( You shaved off your hair?????)
