No it’s not. That issue of deposits has loaded into it a host of other factors such as disclosure of the clients identity and prepayment for service that may not end up being delivered as promised or at all with no recourse, and plenty of clients have horror stories of provider bad behavior on these issues. 
 
You just described the typical American open house. Happens all the time, my friend. Its not a question of if I like it or not; it’s a recognized part of the sales process. 
You use the word “respect” quite a lot. If you really find this process disrespectful (and capitalism can seem that way, depending on how one fares out of it), there are likely ways you can take more control. If you’re really not prepared to have a discussion on price (though now you’ve now more than once said you basically are …), and are particularly sensitive to the issue of your rates being available and people needing to see that material before contacting you, how about then starting with “before we discuss anything further I’d like to confirm you’ve been on my website and are comfortable on the pricing there. Are you?”. If they say no, and that’s a problem for you, and the disrespect you feel outweighs a salesperson’s instinct for any meaningful net revenue that may arise, end the conversation there and then. The time spent would be less than venting and reliving the experience to this degree.

Showtime has picked it up for season 2.
According to the trade, Uncoupled Season 2 is expected to be “edgier” and “racier” than its freshman run at Netflix.

Yeah, he made the cardinal mistake of trying to help you by offering constructive advice.
On this we can agree. 
The reality is you don’t listen to anyones’s advice and it’s a waste of time trying. 

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. 

You’re using the wrong analogy, 1st of all. 2nd of all you’re not paying to ask if they’re interested. You’re paying to show YOU…. YOU are interested AND that you plan to go thru and that you have invested the money.
The “store” would be considered RentMen. We are the merchandise of that store (RentMen) and we pay first, to be in there. Following me? 
 
A better analogy would be your Uber service. You get the app free but you pay to request the ride, in fact you pay the whole cost upfront before even know what car you in. You don’t get to contact drivers individually and ask 100 questions before they’re paid.
 

I don't pay stores money to ask about their merchandise, and I sure as hell wouldn't pay an escort just to ask if they're interested. Escorts should consider themselves lucky that I'm even willing to pay a deposit.

You're now veering sharply from my reply which is a classic strawman tactic. 
Frankly, I just don't care enough to keep going back and forth with a total stranger about his medical health.
You do you 👍✌️

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.
