Ad Directories - Is there room for more?

[amy]

its interesting to hear other peoples prospectives and views

good to get a different prospective on discussions.

Can somebody please explain to Ricardo what a malapropism is, before I wet myself? It's pointless when there's no-one here to pay me .

Ricardo, if you honestly cannot see that your statement about having a safe evening could not be read in more than one way, I despair. Again.

And you've never heard of PZ when you claim to have been working nearly as long as I have?

Hi Lexie,

To be honest, putting my site around was or has not been a problem or a priorty for me.

It came about as a byproduct I guess.

I don't spend my time going to other sites in the similar vain either, other than here of course which I do enjoy but, its good to have an occasional look around to see whats going on ;-)

No point, he's already pm'd me saying im uneducated and there was a weak threat in that too, its all air though.  Anyway, the man has 2 masters, he must be right.

Hi Slick,

I only asked a simple question 'Is there room for more?'  A simple yes or no would have sufficed...lol

Goodness me, what are people on?...If people think that its a waste of time, say it and let go, move on.

Some people however have expressed and interested on here and on PM's.  I don't mind the debate at all, in fact its interesting to hear other peoples prospectives and views but, to a point.

If no one wishes to participate, fine...move on and discuss something else....it really is no big deal 

In answer to your question Yes and No, Where would we all be If there was only one supermarket chain, So thats the yes part, the no part is that the market is flooded with directories with dozens popping up each month, some make it a year, some make it 2 years but in time they all fail, Why?

Could it be that there just isnt the market for more directories.

from a personal point of view I wouldnt dream of starting a website in the escort niche market in this day an age where websites have already been established some 10 years online.

and in answer to your question in another post, Yes the website in my profile is mine.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck with it

Hi Amy,

Hmmmm....substitution of an incorrect word?

You have to understand something here which I have always made clear.

I offer my services as an escort/companion as my 'other' job for events, not sex for cash and although not totally ignorant to your industry, never stated otherwise that I know 'all'.  Always a learning curve.

I do what I do, you do what you do - thats fine by me....

When I said be safe, I was using my language (genuinely) and not a bastardised or otherwise implied version of the said word.

Hi Slick,

Good points you made there, taken on board, many thanks 

Well at this time all I'm doing is putting together my 'little' links directory' not looking to take on the world and his dog...lol...it was just a question I asked.

Liked the supermarket analogy ;-)

But you can see that you did at one stage cause confusion on this subject and you never cleared it up.  When you dont answer questions when people challenge you on a site like this it causes suspicion.  It is a learning curve but its a pretty bloody steep one and after 3 years i would have though you would be a little wiser to the industry and how it works etc.  Im sorry but i just find it very hard to believe that a straight male escort who doesnt even offer sex as a service would make a significant living especially without directory advertising.  I just dont get how that works.  You say your not totally ignorant to the industry, so what is your experiance because i cant tell?

Fair enough, although when everyone else on the forum either does exactly that or is closely linked with someone who does, I still cannot imagine what you would find of interest here. Have you even made a single post yet about escorting?

never really entertained a 'social time' fee but I have to agree, that perhaps I should consider such as other posters referred, it may lead to private time.

I guess the reason I have always avoided it was because of the sheer waste of my time in doing so but, as it has been pointed out, there are some really genuine clients out there.  I guess, looking at the other angle, if your a new client then and want to 'sample' the service 'visually speaking before committing yourself then perhaps a 'social fee' may be the best way forward.

What do other escorts implement as a 'social fee' for such a service? Always willing to try a new concept.

So Evie's tried it once, and now I'm asking again. What exactly were you referring to in this post? If you are saying that a social fee is a new concept to you, but you do not have sex for money, what do you do? Somehow I don't think you'd be much cop at Scrabble.

When I said be safe, I was using my language (genuinely) and not a bastardised or otherwise implied version of the said word.

I'll take your word for it.

Come on Ricardo, if you work as an escort that is complete BS.

It came about as a byproduct I guess.

...erm, maybe I'm thick, but I don't know what you are talking about? What came as byproduct of what?

Still it is getting on my nerves now too:

Malapropism - Absurd or humorous misuse of a word, especially by confusion with one of similar sound.

prospective -Likely or expected to happen. Likely to become or be

perspective - one's "point of view", the choice of a context for opinions, beliefs and experiences - which is clearly what Ricardo meant.

Unfortunately Ricardo, there are some very intelligent ladies here, who cringe at the misuse of the English language.

I ought to give him his due and say that Ricardo's undoubtedy ambitious (if ill-advised) mission to singlehandedly rewrite the English language is shaping up to be the highlight of a rather pedestrian week.

Even though he will be completely oblivious as to why...
