    That’s fair. One of my regulars does this as well (but only because his entry buzzer/intercom is perpetually non-functional). I was talking about this in the realm of the possibility of a cancellation, a time-waster. We can’t know for certain that you’ll be permitting us entry to your complex/won’t get cold feet, at least not the first time that we rendezvous. Hence my Uber condition.

    Though not great quotes of literature, two recent favorites, of reminiscing while trying not to suffer regret.
     
    he was more me than I had ever been myself, because when he became me and I became him in bed so many years ago, he was and would forever remain, long after every forked road in life had done its work, my brother, my friend, my father, my son, my husband, my lover, myself.

    I think yours is a fine ad. However, the last line — “The only thing I can’t do is host” — personally, it sounds odd because that’s rather a significant thing to be preceded with a “that’s the only thing,” as though it were a trifle. That’s just what I think.
     
    Also, your interview responses in #4 — “I don’t try to stand out from the crowd” can indicate that you naturally stand out from the crowd without trying, or it may indicate that you can’t be bothered to try to stand out/“go the extra mile”; and in #9 you say that you wouldn’t say much at all if you were to sit on the beach with a client. Personally, I’d modify that answer, too.

    For me, the client sending an Uber essentially is indemnification. I don’t want to travel over to them and then they suddenly decide to cancel — it’s obviously worse than their simply not showing up to my place for a booked session; I feel like an utter fool — and some clients will provide you only the cross-streets and upon arrival thereto they provide further instructions — sometimes they even give an address that’s a few doors down or across the street from their actual place and tell you to text/call them when you are close and then surprise, they disclose their actual location. My in-call and out-call rates are the same for this reason — for out-calls, they provide transport to and fro along with the regular donation. I insist upon this. Some choose to pick me up; it is indeed more cost-effective. Still others have had to download the Uber or Lyft apps specifically to see me and I have to help them navigate said apps, as they have never before used them. I’m comfortable this way. Most do not object. In my ad I expressly state this condition. It’s quite likely that some refrain from seeing me because of this.
