Hello all,

There seems to be a fair amount of confusion and misinformation in this thread about me. I invite anyone with lingering questions to read my earlier reply in the thread, reach out directly, read my 30+ 5-star reviews, contact those reviewers, and/or ask me anything here. 

Thanks for the interest,

JFTB

Instead of creating the obvious confusion and suspicion in the marketplace, why not have two identical pages and a note on why you have them?

Fair question, and I don’t disagree with the instinct. Worth noting though: both profiles already point to the same FAQ (labeled JFTB), which makes no attempt to hide that they’re both mine. So there’s a single, disclosed hub tying them together, not two pretending to be strangers.
As I noted back in April, the two ads exist because they serve pretty different client preferences, and I’ve said openly (here and elsewhere) that they’re one provider.

That said, your underlying point is a good one — the disclosure shouldn’t require a click to find. I’ll add a line to each profile pointing to the other, so it’s clear up front rather than only in the FAQ. Appreciate the nudge.

Communication with him was extremely unpleasant. he’s picky, which fine, he has every right to choose his clients. however, he got really serious about the deposit when I talked to him. mind you, he wasn’t even gonna be town for another few weeks. i felt uncomfortable giving him so much up front. I would’ve preferred locking in plans closer to the date he’d be in town, but he was super difficult about getting the deposit upfront. Overall, pick your poison. If he seems worth it to you, go ahead. However, his rates are high and the deposit is a bit of a hassle.

Sigh. This prospective client reached out from three accounts over the course of a few hours, lying about their screen names twice. It was I who labeled the communication with them as “difficult and unpleasant” before passing on their attempted change to my terms of engagement. I know most of you already realize that phrases like “picky,” “really serious about the deposit,” “super difficult,” and “rates are high” are subjective; one person’s perspective is not always another’s. The facts are: this prospective client either chose not to read my FAQ which plainly details my deposit and rate requirements, or thought they could bargain some flexibility. It’s not beyond possibility that I’d bend… I have before and I may again… but when one smells a pic collecting rat, one smells a rat. If anyone would like further details about this brand new member of the forum’s unsuccessful tactics to change a provider’s stated terms, feel free to DM. In the meantime, I continue to welcome any and all to read my FAQ and contact me with any follow-up questions. While I am currently booked for the next two weeks (all at my listed rates and with 20% deposits), I welcome  new clients who recognize providers’ boundaries and know how to approach in a respectful way. 😎

welcome to the forum......

was only the deposit discussion what made this an "extremely unpleasant" and "super difficult" experience for you?.......it appears so and you may want to simply look for somebody else instead of allowing yourself to be "uncomfortable".....gee, I seem to be quoting you just as @JockFeet did in his post just above!......admittedly, paying a deposit is famously discouraged here in the forum, but providers can operate in the way that brings them business success and clients can pick and choose with whom they want to meet......18-year RM member Jockfeet's participation here in the forum has been professional and intelligent......your first post here (if you're not a reincarnation of an earlier forum member) is grumpy and cynical.....take a look around the forum and get a feel for the mood and tone......
