Question for Clients..

[MrMattBig]

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

 

All this just goes to show, it's not a generational phenomenon that accounts for a lack of communication. I have perused many threads that insinuate it's a Millennial thing.

It stems simply from one party caring more about their immediate needs than the other.

This can happen at any demographic imaginable at any time.

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.

A real conversation with an escort:

....

Me: I could meet you at your place today after 3 pm, or anytime tomorrow. What is your preference? Also, could you confirm your incall rate per hour please?

Escort: yes

...

Then silence.

I think I’d rather be completely ghosted.

then maybe you are fighting a loosing battle.

 

I hope your use of "loosing" rather than "losing" was intentional irony.

Nope, I am just useless at writing correct English!

All joking aside:p

 

I’ve noted a distinct casual shift in my language over the last three decades. And as language has evolved into electronic media taking “speaking” out of the equation, I noted my writing/typing style mimiced the imprecise casual bias of my spoken word

 

But alas, without inflection, etc, misunderstandings occurred. So, while I struggle mightily with this, I seek to make my written word as proper as possible to avoid ambiguity. It feels very “stiff”.

 

Try this as an exercise: Take a paragraph you type, copy it into translate.google, translate it into another language, then repeat the process translating it back into English and see if you understand what you communicated.

 

Using @HotWhiteThirties (simply because it was easy to copy using my iPad), here’s a small dose of what happens:

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 agree and feel very much alike. To me, to take the worry of writing a complete thought (come on guys, it's really not that hard for most people to do) by asking both the customer and the provider answers is one of the first and easiest ways To show respect. I think it helps to lay the foundation for a better experience all around.

 

Now, this isn’t bad, but imagine what incomplete sentences or urban slang does to the linguistic models!

 

@hypothetically - I know you intended humor...I am sorry for going on an academic tangent!

I’m a little dense sometimes @BnaC. Does this mean I get a passing grade, professor?:D
