O dear, my father haggles with trades people and suppliers. 

Have two cousins which will haggle everywhere from car park attendants to gift shop sellers. They are nice guys and it is not the money saved that challenges them it is the fact they achieved it

As for showing your face, maybe I should hide mine, might get more bookings!

Haggling is largely cultural, honestly. Where I live, it is actually not culturally acceptable, and as such when people try to haggle with me it is a sign of blatant disrespect.

Yes when they say 'half an hour or maybe an hour, not sure yet'  wtf! , surely they know how long they want to book for?!!!  You just know at that point they've no intention of booking at all,  there just being silly cunts.

I find the guys who say 'either an hour or 90 mins' etc often do book but it is ALWAYS for the shorter amount of time.

Same here. And the moment I hear them hesitate on the booking duration I suggest to go for the shorter option myself. Easier and less headache.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong then, me being a greedy bitch and suggesting the longer booking ha ha I'm gonna start offering the shorter one in future ;-)

Here's what I find.
An older guy hesitating between 30' and 1hr in the afternoon/evening will mostly go for one hour. They don't want to rush and I actually missed out on a few bookings at the beginning when I suggested 30', I guess they thought I'm having trouble "fitting them into my diary" or something.

For longer bookings when I hear the guys hesitate I always very gently suggest "how about we start with *the shorter time*?" This way I don't pressure them.

This is the way it works for me and it almost always does. Of course it doesn't apply to those calling and saying they have no idea at all how long they want to stay, when etc, those are just time wasters.

My Number One Red Flag - The Dick Pic!!

If I'd saved every Dick Pic I've ever  been sent I could stage an exhibition. Actually, I'd probably be in the running for the Turner Prize. Forget the Tracy Emin style art installation - The Dick Pics would be in the running for the prize. Dick pricks from a real prozzy.

Seriously, why on earth do men send us these pics??? - Do they ever get a positive reaction???

Delete and block it makes me cringe.

anyone who mentions dick size, asks what i'm going to do to them and those who book then start asking questions which are clear from my profile, usually end up no shows.  often the one the ones who are "first timers" or claim nerves either waste our time or end up being too nervous to show up i have found.

Yes. Especially those who start by warning you they are 9 inches and want anal and is it really ok. And if it doesn't fit then is vaginal sex ok. Am I sure I can take 9 inches... Provided they manage to get that far into the conversation... One did last week, I was just so bored I thought I'd play a bit and asked him to translate into centimetres, sorry mate...

Ha whenever I get the big dick question I reply with that considering women can give birth to 10lb babies a nine inch dick is really pretty small and unless his dick is the size of a baby's head I have no problem

When they're extremely paranoid about the whole booking process (beyond a little nervous - completely irrational stuff) or are freaked out about giving an address for that reason. Or if they want to give you their address closer to the date.

I get some people have anxiety, but some people are at the extent that they'll get too nervous to show up (or answer the door) and it wastes my whole day. I had scheduled a booking this past weekend for this week and this idiot was supposed to send me his full address as agreed, but got too nervous, changed his mind and said maybe we should meet at a coffee shop first. I got an okay vibe off of him originally so I almost went with it, but I ended up just cancelling. He was probably somewhat real but I'm pretty sure he would have seen me in the coffee shop through the window and just left because of nerves. He was so surprised by the cancellation -- I mean, do they really think they don't sound like timewasters?? Shouldn't I be more paranoid about an outcall than the guy I'm seeing? Ughhh.

Exactly this. I've had the odd one who says he 'needs' the full address days before his booking in case he 'knows someone in the area.' WTF? The apartment is in the city centre. You probably will know someone in the area but it's highly unlikely you're going to bump into them on that particular day and if you do, have a reason to be there.

Lol this one has nothing to do with addresses but it just reminded me of this one guy who was persistent on me accepting his booking request on AW even though we had already discussed it and I had agreed to the booking. Needless to say, he kept on pushing me to click accept on the form to which I ignored and couple days later he cancelled. hmmmm. I never click accept until after I have completed the booking and to this day no one has ever pressured me into clicking accept except for that one guy. The rest just care more about a verbal or written agreement  than you accepting the booking on AW because they don't pressure me to click accept.

"so I've got some questions that I'll be asking you as we get to know one another, but I wont bombard you this time around"
Then comes the question of how would I feel if my husband went with an escort.. I think this guy is going to be a pain. Got a poem yesterday from him.

Generally speaking when I hear on the phone "may I ask you a few questions first?" I know the guy is a twat
