Why would you block a potential client?

what's a profile for, if not to be viewed???

I agree go figure.

Are you sure you're not Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Diversion without specifics.

 

Well, I also have an accent. I like to think my accent is sexier, though.

@kevininsa I'm not an escort, but part of the reality is that based on what I've read here, most escorts will not contact a client who views their profile. Again, I don't usually log onto RM so people can see who I visit, but from reading the forum, the escorts don't get enough business contacting viewers to make it worthwhile. Some do, but they also wouldn't be the type to block you.

 

Where your shyness may make you hope they will start contacting you, my advise is to go invisible since all that is happening is you get blocked (which shouldn't be a pattern, but happens) so you get the best experience you can.

[kevininsa]

Even if an escort isn’t interested in a particular client’s business, the escort has no idea how influential that client might be to other potential clients or to the escort’s business. I fail to see how pissing off someone, potential client or not, is a smart business practice.

This. This is what I find so incredibly odd.

He couldn't be blocking based on type since my profile doesn't give any information.

I realize there's no answer without asking him. I was just annoyed at the time.

And whoever asked if I would still contact him in another fashion, no. If he wants to categorically dissuade business, who am I to stop him?

Where your shyness may make you hope they will start contacting you...

 

I wouldn't say that I hope they will contact me. It just opens up the possibility which is easier for me. As in this instance, I was about to email him through RM until I couldn't. But thanks for the insight.

And interestingly enough, 2 of my last 6 hires contacted me while I was shopping the ads. Would have been 3 of 7 except our schedules clashed.

Just to be clear: you're sorta too shy to reach out to him, but not to shy to pronounce how he should be doing his job.

Perhaps he prefers profiles with information. But I'm sure the collective wisdom of the board knows better than any stoopid hooker does.

Can you imagine Berdorff’s pulling the shades down

on their windows because someone “looked”at them

too many times?

 

While I agree that anyone has the “right” to run their

private business anyway they please....that doesn’t mean

it’s a “smart” way to do it.

Sounds like a business decision Mocha would make.

My thought exactly. I would hope that no escort is stupid enough to block someone simply because that person viewed their ad 5 or 10 or however many times. The viewer might already be a client, may have already scheduled an appointment, or might be ready to schedule an appointment. A good businessperson isn't going to discourage customers without reason, and someone simply looking at what you are offering is hardly a reason to shoo that person away.

Like the example of Berdorff's, if the shades are down, I simply go to the next store.

 

I don't care how a contractor or escort or anyone else runs their business. I care how they treat me. There are enough stories on here about escorts blocking potential clients for no apparent reason, to realize that it's a problem. The Internet is full of gentlemen that would love for me to hire them minus the drama. It's not my job nor do I want to waste time to figure out why someone does something so illogical.

That is assuming the next store sells something you will actually like.

It isn’t 100% a buyer’s market. There are some rarities that only one store sells.

Perhaps...but if an escort wants to block me, that's their prerogative, and it's my prerogative to shop elsewhere. I'm a very resourceful guy, after 40 plus years of hiring, I can assure you, no store is that exclusive. I can always find what I am looking for.

It's easy to be brave when you're a faceless screen name. This board proves that on a daily basis.

 

... And why am I hearing Joe Pesci from Goodfellas in my head reading that last line?

I never claimed to dictate how he should do his job. I was trying to understand because it didn't make sense to me. And without contacting him, I thought perhaps I could gain some insight by asking here. I wasn't hateful, I wasn't spiteful. And I didn't ridicule anyone's response.

How does the viewing of the ad affect any of these?

 

 

It creates an impression. Someone viewing an ad again and again without ever reaching out might appear obsessive to the advertiser. It's just plain silly not to reach out if you're interested in a guy. Even the most socially phobic should be up to an anonymous email saying "hi, I like your profile," or something like.

[boiledeggz]

I'm sure in this current legal climate, escorts are pretty on edge and anything might spook them. Window shopping to you might come off as tracking by them.

Then why are they bothering to advertise?

[Bargara Leatherboy]

Maybe he's just an idiot.

 

No need to make a personal comment - it says more about you than him!!!!

 

By all means think it but please no need to say it

This thread is still alive? Unbelievable.

Perhaps he has blocked a spectrum of “types” and your profile has fallen within that range. Have you tried contacting him in another fashion?

 

Why would you proceed to contact someone who has made it clear they are not interested in being contacted?

I’ve never been concerned how others may view me based on my posts (check out my posts from 2015). I hope forum members aren’t dissuaded from posting their opinion simply because other members disagree with them.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting a personal opinion. Please in the future, check with forum members before you post, to make sure you don't offend anyone. Thank you...
