I would say participation has been a net positive for me.

Though participating in the forum does increase clients for some of the providers, I am pretty sure their partipation is not for the sole purpose of increasing their business. I think your insights and perspectives have been valuable addition to this community. You are always happy to provide multiple perspectives and stand by then in a logical and thoughtful manner. I agree if your participation is for the intent of increasing business then probably not the best use of your time.

If you would like to send me a private message, I will be happy to tell you more about my style. It's one of my favorite subjects. But I don't want to turn this into a public comparison with a colleague.

Edgewater here! Until June, anyway.

Nice to hear....happy to "help".....downtown / N. Michigan Ave actually has several good price options....again, all clean / comfortable / safe....(& all w/good quality king size mattresses )......the exact location of Inn of Chicago simply worked best for me....often for a simple couple/few hours away from my office during some of my times in Chicago.

I send messages to potential clients who have looked at my profile multiple times, when I have time. Never had any complaints and it does lead to new clients.

I have used this hotel twice now since seeing this post. Clients were happy to pay such a low room rate. A great recommendation! Thanks.

I always give my real first name as soon as I feel like it is going to be a good match. It’s about relationship building, and, for me. using my real name is one way to do that.

Yes. Not too long ago. The husband of a male couple hired me for his spouse’s birthday. No threesome (I don’t do that). Just me and the spouse.

Thanks! That was a nice gift.

Nah... as soon as I feel like it is leading to an appointment, I tell him my name and ask what he wants me to call him, if he hasn’t already told me.

I can’t think of any incident where a client canceled at the last minute. I have had more than a few who have canceled with a reasonable amount of notice. The thing I noticed though is how unwell clients’ relatives seem to be. Often a sick or dying relative in another state whom they have to go visit is the reason they give. But the most common reason given is work. Something came up and they unexpectedly have to work. It’s not typical that a client cancels, so it doesn’t really bother me much when it happens.

Personally, I am monitoring this thread but not signing up. Too many unknowns, and looks like they have a ways to go before I would be interested. I’m just going to wait a few more months and keep an eye on what clients and providers are saying here.

Haha! When I first read your reply I saw "Add it to your Mother F*^%ing profile"
