happy birthday, @RJD!

I’m sorry to be so late to engage in this conversation. I was trying to keep my mouth shut. However…
What you’re doing by making these moves to arranging your business based on the behavior of the worst possible customers—not actual customers but time wasters. You are letting the low-lifes run the show.
Instead, I propose, you should be thinking about the best potential customers and assume that anyone contacting you is that perfect, ideal, benevolent customer until they have individually proven otherwise. You are treating everyone—including your best prospects—with contempt due to the annoying behavior of people that don’t deserve your energy. 
Why not make your private pictures completely public? While I understand the theoretical discomfort in knowing that countless losers are jerking off to your pictures for free, you’d save a ton of time and frustration screening time-wasters. And, the real potential clients will need very little back-and-forth before setting up an appointment. Put it all out there: show them what they’re getting in the photos, tell them in your blurb about the services you offer and any limits you may have. In short, answer just about every potential question before they ask it.

I was referring to the Doylestown-Perkasie area. I never venture down to Langhorne in lower Bucks. Traffic down there is awful. I do have a friend in Manayunk, so Roxborough would work. I like to ride down the Perkiomen Trail and then turn south on the Schuylkill Trail to Manayunk. After a cheese steak, I’ll be fortified to ride the return 34 miles up the trails to Green Lane! Dallesandro’s it is!

Like @RJD, was going to suggest Dallesandro's, but, not being a local and the 'ten people equals ten opinions' thing, thought better of it. I was at Dallesandro's a couple years ago and loved it.

Depends on what you consider "upper" Bucks County.  Langhorne has Steve's Prince of Steaks on Lincoln Highway, which are pretty good.  I still think if you want an authentic cheese steak you need to hit up D'Alessandro's in the Roxborough area of Philly or Tony Luke's in South Philly.  

Ah, brings back such memories.  I used to watch "Cold Case" just for Danny Pino, just about the handsomest guy I've ever seen.
Edited to add: I never saw him take his shirt off on "Cold Case," so frustrating, LOL.  But I found this just now ...

@Jarrod_Uncut I can understand your need to vent when your time is wasted and clients prove difficult, but how does this post (and other previous complaints) enhance your business prospects?
 
I’m not being sarcastic but if this line of work is so uncongenial for you, wouldn’t it be better to consider another occupation?

Not sure where you read that.  I reviewed this entire thread.  I don't see where the OP insinuated he was entitled to anyone's body.  He expressed frustration and disappointment that, other than the one word reply, the provider didn't even asnwer his questions or engage with him in order to determine if they were compatible, at which time one or both could decline to move forward.  Or, he could have declined in the first reply if he was concerned about an extended session with a new client.  
This is where you go off the rails.  You approach this as a confrontation as if you need to challenge people and be abrasive to be persuasive.  You may be more effective and successful if you exchanged ideas in a civil manner without the rancor and acrimony.
 

If one needs to adopt multiple screen personalities to make a position appear legitimate and have support, then said position is weak at best and speaks volumes to one's integrity and character, or lack thereof.   
I'm also sorry this happened to you @nysouthpaw.  It's an expensive lesson.  
I've said before, the most successful providers are engaging, pleasant, personable, and don't treat potential clients with contempt or like a walking ATM.  For me, an abrasive personality extinguishes any interest I might have in a provider, regrdless of how physically attractive he is.  

Good point. I don't think it's all one way or the other though. There are some important reasons and worthwhile ones to setting up a trust with such parameters. Hopefully one is leaving such resources to heirs they have invested and spent time knowing. In my case, the love I have for my children will have been declared and known in my life with them and hopefully the testimony of that will not stand solely in what I leave behind or how I leave it. What is left to them, I hope, will be a blessing and not a curse. The truth is, it is far more likely in my observation, that it can be a curse without some thought into how the trust is set up. So, while your points are certainly very valid, and certainly don't wish to equate worth with income, we do live in a society where income generation is important for survival...and that is certainly a skill that I want my children and heirs to have incentive to develop. Thanks for your insights, though, they help balance the thought process I am having. 

I've been around this forum long enough to have seen plenty of comments by providers who voice displeasure with, on the one side,  one word initial texts and on the other, a dissertation.  There are no cut and dry rules for initial contact, so we, as the clients, are left walking a tight rope. How much information is too little or too much?  This has nothing to do with being selective, as was challenged up-thread. 
However, for everyone saying the provider was put-off, confused, etc., @xyz48Basked a couple initial questions (rate for a defined duration, what he was looking for) in his text.  Again, how much information is appropriate for the provider to engage with the client to determine if they're compatible and would be a match?  Wouldn't it be in the provider's and his potential client's best-interest, especially since the client is asking for an extended session, to engage and answer the initial questions?  If the provider isn't interested in an extended session with an unknown client, shouldn't he be professional enough to reply with that?  And if they do engage, and he still feels uncomfortable, he (or the client) has every right to be "selective" and disengage.   
This isn't rocket science.  It's basic communication and mutual respect.

Interesting.  You joined this site less than a day ago, but your confrontational and myopic approach to posts is eerily similar to another member who hasn't appeared since embarrassing himself over a month ago.
You continue to hang your hat on the OP's original use of "selective" but are ignoring the substance of his post.  He has stated  multiple times he has no problem with a provider being selective once they engage in conversation.  He has even said his use of the word selective in his original post was unfortunate.  I also stated I had no problem with either the provider or client being selective after they engage in a conversation to determine compatibility or comfort level, but you continue to ignore that and remain laser focused on his initial post.  
In my world,  mutual respect includes replying to an inquiry even if it's to decline said inquiry.

An observation is not deflection.  
You’re right.  The things people do to avert self-growth, introspection and responsibility is remarkable.  
 
 

An observation that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. People aren't allowed to join this site? You're just looking for a way to discredit what has been argued by accusing me of being someone else because you can't offer any other substantive response. Good luck to you both.

LMAO I don't know who that is or who you are referring to, but another deflection from the topic at hand noted. The things people do to avert self-growth and introspection.

@RJD, it’s almost as if we’re supposed to me mind readers! 
Whatever the case may be, the provided text “conversation” was poor on the part of the provider. If he wasn’t interested, for whatever reason, in multiple nights, then say so up front. If that’s the issue. He never indicated however that was the issue. Everyone else here seems to think so but that’s only surmising what could be the problem on my part, because of course the problem is mine, not the escort’s…

Depends on the providers rate, the amount of time spent, and what airfare is at the moment…all of those components are variables so no one will be able to provide a definitive amount. 

As a left-hander, there are challlenges to writing on paper and my handwriting was atrocious when I learned cursive early in grade school.  However, it was a Catholic elementary school and one of my 4th grade nuns was a stickler for proper handwriting.  She understood it was difficult for left-handers and worked closely with me.  She'd demonstrate how to hold the pen, form the letters, and insisted I practice, practice, practice.  Fast forward several months and she would pretend to be angry because my handwriting was nicer than hers. 
I remember having a few different signature variations early on, but the one I still use today was set probably in my late teens.  It's legible but has a unique style.  My upper-case "R" is uncommon enough that most of my colleagues can identify if something is signed by me by glancing at the document and seeing the "R." 
A handwriting expert once analyzed my signature and said it showed I was balanced, in-control, organized, and direct, all of which are true.  She also joked that based on her experience doing this she suspects John Hancock was a huge narcissist.
