What makes me decide one escort over another.

[lucy7]

Good post and I generally agree with all the points you mention

The only one which raises an eyebrow for me is the "must have a face pic".

That must slim down your list quite a bit ?

It does'nt really bother me about face pics as I respect all ladies that do not want to show their face on a public forum. Many are happy to e-mail these if requested.

I don't think I'd want to display my pic if I was a lady either

Hi, are you the Andy Parker from up my way....Leeds?

I would like to think times past I have been as logical as Simo in his original post - and I can cetainly see where he is coming from and how his methodology works for him. And to agree maybe some of the things he is talking about are going on in the back of my mind but ultimately for me i go with my gut feeling. i tend to find when I do this in almost any part of my life I committ to things more fully and there is a better result - this rule for me works just as well in punting as in anything else.

The other thing I like to see (and i know this may seem slightly odd) is at least one bit of negative feedback in whatever form. I think often when you see this you can read between the lines and think the woman has told some arsehole where to get off and I like that she has the spirit to do this. And as wallflowers are not my idea of fun this appeals to me.

I have been priviledged in recent years to meet some tremendous women who have honoured me by sharing their time with me so I must be doing something right.

Do you mean that the profile needs to be balanced?

Perhaps we should adopt the marking rule for children at primary school and have 3 positives for each negative. That way no one is going to feel overwhelmed with all the negs and see them more as informative than disappointing or off putting?

Good approach. Ye, I'd agree it's about balance, and also about the tone that the don'ts and dislikes are written in I think. Some people are good at putting them in a lighthearted or funny way and it's not negative at all. The lady I mentioned before had more dislikes than anything else and they were written in a way that made you think she resented having to escort. She had an entry in her blog saying she wasn't getting enough bookings so I don't think I was the only one to get that impression...

Good post, an insight to how one gentleman chooses his fillies.

With regard to not having more than 50 feedbacks....
I have 277 feedbacks on adultwork, if I had a feedback for each meeting I have ever done for money it would be sky high.
Not all book via there, and not all leave feedback if they do.

One lady on my local forum has 16/18 feedbacks (cant recall which now) she has been an escort for 11 years.
Probably the most well known and highest rated on PN escort in Yorkshire ever.
So with out spelling it out, you can imagine if she used adultwork as much as a lot of us do her number would be VERY high.
You may miss out on a gem of a girl by thinking a high feedback number is not a good thing.

You have a very good point here Lucy and one I have blogged about when I hit 100 on my feedback. On average I see between 3 and 10 guys a week. I can't see more than that as I also run my own business and have family commitments. However I have had one client who told me that I was lucky he came to see me, as I had more feedback than he would normally choose from, but he was being impulsive.

He was quite shocked to find that I had only seen one man before him that day and that I wasn't seeing anyone else. He was shocked that I had such a nice apartment and that I wasn't 'worn out' with all the constant shagging I must have been doing. With reference to him, I doubt I have changed his mind, as he seemed quite opinionated and likely thinks I am the exception to the rule, but the fact is, if you do the maths, it's really not that much when you divide 104 by 730 days, which is how long I have been working for. Of course I do see gentleman that do not book me via the system, but still...

The level of feedback tells you nothing, as it is only one method of booking and rarely the only method used.

I see what you mean lolo. I've got no experience of what it's like running a profile and the kind of crap providers have to put up with from punters, so was just giving a subjective view I guess

[English Kate]

I have to admit I am getting a bit tired of having to move guys away from my bottom. I often get guys who talk about wanting to use my bum too, which is annoying as it ruins the mood, as I know I'm going to say no to it and then I'm aware that I'm not giving them what they want.

Why do they have to try and push you into things you don't want to do?

Because SOME I repeat some are not gentleman and think we will do anything for the brass.

Great Post, WOW say it how it is hunni!
I wonder would you pick me???
(bet all girls on ere sayin the same hehe)

I do tend to point out to guys wanting to make a booking on the phone that I no longer offer OWO, as it's such a big deal to most guys. I would hate people to come along and then be disappointed with the services I offer.
