Escort Email versus Escort Phones

[axebahia]

Recently, I tried to contact an escort who had only email but ostensibly no phone. We exchanged a number of emails, but never managed to hook up because one of the two of us always seemed to set something else up before the other could respon to the last email. Clients, do you draw any negative inferences from an escort who either has no phone or who does not give out the number before meeting with the client? Escorts, do you think it is a professional necessity that an escort have a phone and at some point give the number to the client?

With the popularity of gaydar in the UK, clients & escorts often establish contact by email - and when details have been discussed, a phone number is given to confirm.

 

Certainly, there's a very well-regarded escort in London who works off email. I think he uses it as a screening device. Later, he gives out a phone number.

I actually prefer making initial contact through email. It allows both parties to answer questions at their leisure and think about what they want to say before they say it.

 

That having been said, I might consider meeting an oft previously reviewed escort without actually talking on the phone, but if the escort is a relative newbie or unknown, I do insist on a phone conversation. A lot of subtle information can be obtained from a simple personal conversation.

By the way, I guess what I was trying to say is that it much better to do both!

It is difficult to arrange a meeting without at sometime having phone access. If nothing else, a phone is necessary in case it becomes necessary to cancel a meeting. I can understand escorts (and clients)who do not want to give out their home phone number. So many escorts use a pager which allows the client to let them know contact is desired, and the escort can then call the client.

I definitely prefer for escorts to have both email (that they respond to in a timely manner) and to provide a phone number at some point prior to meeting (one which he will actually answer or promptly return messages from).

 

In most instances, I'm perferctly OK getting all of the questions resolved and all of the details set up via email. Also, I always use email for the first contact unless I only have a phone number for the escort -- I like to send them my description and an idea of what I'm looking for so that part is out of the way. That having been said, I prefer to speak on the phone with the escort at least once during the process (to get the subtle info that MA speaks of). If a phone number isn't volunteered in the beginning, I also usually insist on getting a phone number to call as I'm leaving my house (for the hotel room or escort's place) to make sure that the guy still plans to show up (I tell the escort it's so that he knows I'm really coming, but it works both ways).

E-mail is my preference for contact and I don't think it unusual for an escort NOT to list their phone number. In the case of one escort with whom I had a fantastic experience, we never spoke on the phone prior to our first meeting. (We had exchanged numbers but never found the need to call since e-mail was so effective.)

 

When escorts do NOT provide a phone number, I make sure to give them my toll-free cell phone number. That way they can always call if an emergency comes up and it still ensures their privacy is maintained.

Yes I agree i perfere escort with both Email is very important. i seen some now that onlyhave a phone they taken there email address off. i think that is not right. I call and get a voice mail most of the time. And if you cant talk on the phone its nice to email an escort and let him know what you want. Most escort these days do very little and I find it a waste some time looking at there adds, The reviews on some of the Escort dont say what they did so you dont know if they did something that you was looking for at the time. I thionk all escort should have a Email and a lot are taking them off now. x(

I am surprised by these responses. Could it be that folks who like contacting escorts by email also like to plan their encounters significantly in advance? For the most part, I don't like to do that although for out of town escorts I make an exception.

 

At some stage though before hooking up, I do like to hear the voice. The voice tells a lot more about an escort's attitude than his self-description in an email. Also, I would be somewhat concerned that it is easier to stage a sting using email as opposed to a phone.

 

In the particular instance, I was a bit put off by what I perceived to be a tone of desparation that did not quite jive with the image in his pics. I think his voice might have helped confirm or alleviate that impression. More importantly though, he lost my business because we simply were not able to set a fixed time because of the trading emails. Had he a phone, we most likely would have hooked up.

You're right -- I do plan my encounters at least a week in advance. (This applies even when I hire in my local area.)

 

If I were an escort I wouldn't list my phone number because of the potential for looney clients, jack-off phone calls, and middle-of-the-night interruptions. I just wouldn't feel comfortable publishing a phone number.

 

But, I would certainly provide a phone number to a potential client after making an appointment or at least volunteer to call them. I'm usually more comfortable confirming an appointment with a phone call. But, I have met escorts before with nothing more than e-mail correspondence.
