  1. It's amazing after all this time you still think people aren't paying deposits because they don't know how.  Yes it's 2 buttons but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not paying a deposit.  It's not a surprise you had your slowest month ever last month when you refuse to admit that your business model is preventing a vast majority of potential clients from even reaching out to you in the first place. I met 3 providers last month.  One local, one visiting my city and one when I was traveling. None charged deposits and all were very busy.  

  2. I prefer morning appointments so I tend to book those.  However, I've been stood-up/disappointed by visiting providers several times when booking morning appointments.  It turns out they were visiting for pride or some other event/party and and either slept through the appointment or were too tired or hungover to provide a good performance.  Even though those types of events tend to attract a lot of visiting providers I've learned to either book them later in the day or skip them altogether.

  3. I was in Puerto Vallarta a few years ago with a group of gay friends. By the end of week we had all had several massages from the boys working the in massage parlors and openly discussed the experiences.  A few of us have since continued hiring masseurs from the various websites and occasionally compare notes/recommendations.  Other than that I don't discuss hiring with anybody.

  4. Sorry it wasn't clear.  I mean the results I get when I search.  It allows me to sort them by Date or Relevancy but the results still have multiple entries for the same threads.  For example if I search Vallarta the results have numerous results for the threads titled "Puerto Vallarta in January" and "Puerto Vallarta vs. Costa Rica".  Is there a way to limit that so it only shows the name of the relevant thread once?

  5. I'm the one that made the original comment that because of Covid, monkeypox, inflation etc etc, that you should be making it easier for clients to book, not harder.  It was in response to your thread in which you were complaining (again) that you only had one client in a week.  Now you think that requiring a preliminary deposit just to ask questions is going to help that situation? Good luck with that. 

  6. I have a question for Jarrod and other traveling providers.  If you want the client to pay cancellation fees if they cancel do you pay the client a cancellation fee when you advertise that you're going to be in a city and set up appointments but then decide not to go to that city for whatever reason?   Upon scheduling the appointment the client may have passed up other plans, taken a day off work, arranged to travel to that city as well, etc. 

  7. The Google street view shows an interesting van parked in front of the Spa.  Also if you rotate the view in the link below and follow the arrows into the Spa you can tour the inside as well and see the steam room, showers, etc.

  8. Avoid at all costs. I saw Josh a couple of years ago and enjoyed it so I stupidly ignored the red flags above about how he has changed. I scheduled in advance and confirmed an hour before the appointment like he asked. Less than a half hour before the appointment he gave me his floor number and asked me to call when I got there. I rode up the elevator with another guy who got off on the same floor and immediately called someone. I then tried calling Josh but it went to voicemail. I walked into the hall from the elevator lobby and heard the other guy being greeted by Josh. He then had the nerve to text me and said that he had an "emergency" and asked if I could come back later. When I called him out on what he did he got very rude and defensive. A total waste of time. Here are his other ads:
