I could certainly say the same for hobbyists...what gives

Sorry about your experiences and hope they get better. I agree with Mocha, try different means ...it may work better!

I answer all my pm's and also let it be known that there are multiple ways to contact me. When I am touring I do make that known as well.

[Jagermonster]

Answering private messages seems like difficult, back breaking, time consuming work. Not worth the effort.

[MOCHAakaMOCHA]

I'm just saying if she posts multiple contact methods in her ads they aren't for nothing lol . Though i'm fairly prompt on all methods but sometimes i'm quicker to get to text than my email/pm's or vice-versa all depends on the day.

Some never open them.

I prefer initial contact through P411 or Eccie. I always respond faster to those than I do email, but it is specifically stated in my showcase, sig, website, p411, etc. The only times I've been slow in responding is when I've been really sick or for lack of better words, can't get on eccie due to r/l stuff going on. But as soon as I get back on that's the first thing I do. Start returning PM's and messages.

Bombard her with multiple texts, emails, phone calls, voice mails - make sure you get increasingly annoyed with every call. Don't be afraid to let her know you are angry with her lack of response/professionalism. Insinuate that if she doesn't respond to you, you might do something to retaliate.

I like to find out where she lives and send her mail with letters I cut out from various periodicals ...That oughta get her to respond!! If you consider a restraining order a response...

Or, you could just move on to someone else......

Completed your thought.

Ed I know you knew me but not so well. Hahaha.

Nice one.

Yeah it sucks when someone doesn't respond but you need to be clear in your contacts. Sending a "Hey?" In a PM is not going to get a response if 5 other guys send a PM expressly asking to set up an appointment time.

[Guido2010]

To add to that when you do send a PM send all the info requested in the Girls Bio. Cuts down on back and forth. She knows you are serious.

PMing a provider and asking them what they thought of last nights Big Brother is stupid, ask that in the Forums. When you go PM it is about hookup and not social media. Think as you might this is not a social media site. This is all about connecting people for business. PM is the business mechanism. Don't waste a girls time with useless PM's. Come out and say what you want right away and give all the info requested.

If there is no response then move on.

True.

True...and depending on when you're asking for (like if it's for a tour date 3 weeks away), I'll try to respond as quickly as I can that I got your message, but I'll respond in full when I have a moment. That might be more than 2 or 3 days.

I would prefer if you put the CITY NAME in the subject line. You can do all that smiley stuff or "HI" in the body of the message. When a mailbox is full and if all the subject lines say "HI" or "HEY" or "APPT. REQUEST"....it makes it harder for me to remember who wanted what city, etc. without having to click on every single PM/email to refresh my memory. Doing that just wastes time. But if your subject line says "CLEVELAND" for example, I can get to it more quickly.

Good idea...and maybe call too.

Not the case for me. ECCIE's my homepage, so its the first thing I see every morning when I turn on the computer. I also check it a few other times through the day. While it might be true for some ladies to not be on here that often, I'm sure it's not the case for most. Besides, I'm sure there is an email sent to the lady's inbox that says she has a message waiting here.

You might want to check the lady's profile page to see when the last time she was "online" here. It's not always accurate (if someone decides to not have her "online status" show....but it might help with your wondering why she hasn't returned the PM.

You "can" read a PM but not click the READ RECEIPT/Confirm receipt "NAG" button that comes up. So it's possible she may have read it but just didn't OKAY your request to know if it's been read or not. This happens about 30-45% of the time with the PMs I send.

This is true and very frustrating to get PMs, texts, or emails that just say "HI". It's a waste of time...and I have to begin phone/text/email tag to find out if they are only flirting or if they are wanting an appt.

Yeah, so say more than just "HI". As Guido2010 stated, include your references and city/time/length in all correspondence with the ladies. If you don't feel like writing out your reference info. each time, then save it somewhere so you can cut & paste it each time. Also, by including the DATE that you want the appt. for, it also lets her know she has a deadline to get back to you by/before.

I don't mind something trivial like that in the PM but if that's the only thing, I'll reply to that when I have time for chatty PMs. If it includes an appt. request, I don't mind the extra BIG BROTHER talk. It lets me know you are personable. A good trait.

As sad as that may be, it might be wise. She'll respond when she gets a chance. If you've written her via PM, text, email, and called and she hasn't responded, then for sure move on.

I will add, that ladies who don't travel might have more time on their hands to answer PMs than traveling ladies do. So if you're contacting a traveling lady, you might want to keep in mind, it may take her a few more days to respond. I don't work on emails every day nor when I read them. Most times, I am reading emails/PMs on my way out of the hotel (checking out) or (checking in) and only have time to "read". I decide which ones need to be answered PRONTO and do so. Those that can wait (like appt. requests for future dates), get replied to when I get a chance. Those who just say "HI" or "HEY" or are just making conversation get replied to after I reply to the other ones. That may take a while.

Piss poor TCB skills like NOT responding cause many to move on. On the other hand others will keep trying thinking you aren't getting the message. How long does it take to simple say NO THANK YOU? But some providers use the hobby as an ATM machine. When they need cash they respond. They don't look at it as a business.

Classic example:

Patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait.
Not all women who answer quickly are worth seeing.
Maybe great TCB skills are the only skills they have.

That is a load... I have been patiently waiting for taint photos to be posted around icky ... I'm waiting.

[tia travels]

I'm sorry, but don't you know??? The current wait time on TAINT shots is 19 years. You've got some more waiting to do.
