He asked for it during the cam show and I said no; then we had an actual booking and he asked again - I did say a couple of times.....I'm not comfortable with that and I feel you are pressurising me" He denied this and said he was just asking but it was definate big boundary pushing! It was 10 mins after that he said how tired he was and could we do an hour (oh poor him!)
I will have to try and do the autopilot thing! I've half a mind to refuse 2 hour bookings if I see someone for the first time; or say either in my FAQs or in person at the start that theres no money back if you decide to leave early.
Yup, idiot boundary pushing definitely!!!
I actually did have a huge set of rules on my AW profile, and decided to try as an experiment taking them off to see if business increased when I did not sound so strict and scary. I don't think it made any difference. Although when I had "the rules" up I did get a lot of guys telling me they were relieved I am more friendly in person. and a few cheeky buggers suggesting I should sound more friendly on my ad and get more business (idiots!!! they should be a sex worker for a week then come back and tell me lol).
Tbh, I don't think many actually READ the profile , except - pictures first, then sexy blurb + services (maybe if you are lucky), then skip down to rates and your number or email. That's it.
Now I alternate - I sometimes copy-paste the scary sounding rules onto my profile, other times not. I find the best way is to just let them know NO WITHELD NUMBERS, NO INCESSANT TEXTING, right beside the contact details so they will at least know the proper way to communicate with you and then just weed out the idiots via phone contact. Practise the auto-pilot smily- but - really firm boundary protecting regularly so if someone disrespectful does actually meet you in real life, you will know how to handle it. I vision a sort-of cocoon or wall around me when a customer starts to try and push boundaries and just try to state what will be happening in a friendly but non-negotiable manner with good body language is essential (I used to SAY the words "no" but was too scared to use assertive body language so they just thought I was a pushover or joking/flirting)
It's a very fine line. I just got the hang of it properly the past few months after 4 years in the industry.
