Yes, it does happen. I don't have an issue with it provided any participant is comfortable with privacy concerns and the methods used are agreed.

I'd pass with my beagles. Too many possibilities for problems. I think they can work with the proper controls, but I'd pass with my 3 beagles for now.

I like your response, but is he wanting to evaluate you or just gain confidence as to who you are before a booking? Asking questions isn't a bad idea, from either party. The better each knows the other before meeting the better the result may be.

Thanks so much, awesome of you to say so! I put in my landscaping at my new home. Love yardwork and absolutely appreciate others who do the same.

I would hope not, I'm a professional, but I'm also human. I have my likes and dislikes.

Well what a refreshing conversation. Sounds like a waste of time to some here, I would guess. The reality is, it shows a degree of respect for the homeowner. I have been ask if someone "is allowed" to walk across my lawn, largely because I keep it looking really nice and a good neighborhood. I do civic work and always make sure to walk up a driveway and not across a resident's lawn. "Think before you walk" can make sense at times!

I have clients that fall into 2 categories, one that book me and have the (correct) approach that I'm providing a service and my personal views are not relevant and 2) they go overboard in providing information about their stats and background to make sure it works for me (including photos). I never ask for photos and usually don't ask much about stats when the topic comes up.

Interesting question. I would simply think someone using it would view it as a "performance aid". Many people need glasses as a reading aid. If a provider is busy with multiple clients in a day, I can certainly understand.

I concur with some of the above guys. A provider shouldn't take it personally, I'm sure they get inquiries all the time. I'd definitely respond and tell them you like what you have seen (if you do) and will consider their services in the future as the need arises. I certainly wouldn't be offended.

I certainly understand the challenges.. It probably doesn't hit me as hard as this is a side venture for me and my career keeps me focused. This is, however a time consuming side and I can understand the resentment if it seems to be a repeat event.

Many wishes for a very good and rewarding year!

Thanks very much! An awesome 2024!

Make 2024 a successful and very positive year!

I'd pass, sounds like you are potentially creating an issue for yourself. Give him a tip and wish him a happy holiday!

All the best wishes! Busy holiday period as always, but a great time, busy New Year's Eve with clients and a great start to 2024 Many positive wishes and a great year!

I have 3 trees at my home, one in my office. All are artificial, the bedroom tree I got in 7th grade and is a staple. Real trees are great and smell wonderful, but the artificial ones meld with my liking, just because they can be put up or taken down on my schedule.

I received two gifts from clients over the holidays. One was a complete dinner out at a very nice restaurant locally and the other was a gift of southwest art (since I'm totally into that). Both clients I have known a long time.

Have an awesome Christmas!

To all here on the site, many happy wishes for a wonderful holiday! Thank you to those who have become my friend! Appreciate all.

I know that I tend to get "indications of interest" if I happen to be scheduled in a planned city. Most of the time it works well, but I have had occasions where I had a conflict or it just didn't work well. I had to learn the value of adequate planning in advance. In this case the provider may not have had bookings, bookings that he wanted to explore or simply opted not to go to the city. Part of being a great provider is being a good businessman. Sometimes the latter is lacking.

No opinion on this matter, but glad the question was asked even if misinterpreted. Made me think about my own approach and glad I do it.

Profiles meaning background on the client, history along with "likes and dislikes"? I think they are very productive to maintain. I would have been indifferent when I first started escorting, but it really does make sense. With regular clientele, new clients and those who may book you 6 months later and may expect you to remember certain details that could be forgotten, wise to maintain some sort of record and details that may help with a future booking. Also if there were challenges or difficulties, wise to note all so the next time can go smoothly.

I tend to "trade in a narrow range", meaning that I tend to order the same thing off the menu on a repeat basis. I don't care if I can pronounce the name, so long as I know what the item is. Calorie content and other relevant info is helpful.

Important to keep "kindness" a part of the mix. Being flexible shows reason. It is a two way street and shouldn't be just a holiday thing. I have much kindness shown me by clients and they deserve the same (and not just at the holidays).
