Question for Clients..

[hypothetically]

Are we just not using full sentences anymore when communicating with a potential hire, or?

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

My personal motto:

 

If you can't take the time to send me complete sentences, I can't take the time to reply.

I don’t understand where the question comes from?

Who uses half sentences? Do you have examples?

 

If you are complaining that some people write, on their 3rd text: “ok 5 pm, I’ll be there.” rather than “I agree and confirm our appointment at five in the afternoon, as agreed previously, at your hotel, and I am really looking forward to it.” then maybe you are fighting a loosing battle.

That depends on

You’re reading far too deep into a question that was meant to be satirical.

Satire: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices.

Whose stupidity are you trying to criticise?

I know the definition of satire or this post wouldn’t exist. The joke is simple math. I’m sorry it went over your head.

If you have to explain it, it wasn't funny.

[MrMattBig]

Sometimes a "client's" vocabulary consists of only five words/questions.

 

1. Avail?

2. Into?

3. Address?

4. Rates?

5. Pics?

Perversely, omit 'on' and that would be a complete sentence!

So, you weren’t targeting anyone’s stupidity, which means it wasn’t satirical, it was just a joke.

..or it wasn’t for you.

The clients’ stupidity.

As a client I do take the time to write down everything, in full sentences. I take the time to ask for availability and other questions I have. What’s disappointing is when you take the time to write all of it and get a one word response like “Yes” or “ok”. I’m not even sure to which of my questions he was responding. I just move on to the next masseur on my list and go through the same process. Thank heavens for copy and paste.

There is no right or wrong way to communicate. If your questions can be understood and answered, and both parties know when and where to be, then effective communication has occurred, goddammmittttttt!

[gallahadesquire]

Personally, I find it more difficult to type H R U Then to type how are you. The muscle memory just isn’t there for single letter responses.

Agreed. Since I’m using the computer a lot for work it is easier for me to write full words/phrases than abbreviations.

I agree with this, and feel much the same. To me, taking the care to write a complete thought (come on guys, it really isn’t that difficult to do for most people) by both client inquiring and provider responding is one of the first and easiest ways to demonstrate respect. I believe it helps lay the groundwork for a better experience all around.

I personally prefer complete sentences but don't mind stylized prose providing their intent is clear.

Apparently, given the responses, and given the number of likes that your joke got, I am not the only one.

Was funny to me. (Shoulder shrug).

Kurtis, I can't even begin to imagine how many times in the past 18 years I have asked concise and limited questions of an escort by email or text and the ESCORT comes back with what you looking for? They don't read a simple 2 sentence question. RE: are you currently in town and what is your hourly rate? Answer: Hey

[MartyB]

Okay, maybe an example of what the OP meant is in order. We often get conversations that go like this:

 

Client: Hi

Me: Howdy, are you looking to book a session?

Client: Yes

Me: Okay, where and when were you looking to book?

Client: Soon.

Me: That did not directly answer either of my two questions.

Client: My hotel.

Me:

 

So yes, we get lots of stupidity. Some of these conversations are from time wasters, others are from actual clients looking to book but for whatever reason have no brain cells firing at that present moment.The more details you provide, the better.

I try my best to be concise and as clear as possible once I've reached out to an escort. Even if it means I've added a bit more than the norm apparently. I agree with you Kurtis the only issues that makes this a bit more difficult these days is that there are no rates being posted for in/out calls. That would probably eliminate a lot of useless time I would imagine.
