I’ve never shown my face in god knows how many years and I have no intention of doing so

I do the majority of my bookings by text I rarely speak to punters
I trust my own instincts on punter and if I lose a decent client because of this so be it
I screen them in my own way - so if they mention certain keywords on my profile or website  I know that they have read most of it

If they ask for stuff I don’t do then it’s a red flag any more than 2 red flags and i won’t see them

With a text I can check back previous texts and see what they wrote as I never delete them
I have a clear record of what services I offer and the price in the texts
I never get them turning up and trying to bank transfer money or without the right amount because I’m my texts it says cash only no bank transfers

My instincts are pretty spot on as most of the punters I’ve refused to see over the years all seem to be in CE for various reasons so trusting your instincts on a punter is the best thing you can do

I would like to ask for a few tips, what do you do if they start asking "What can I expect, I haven't done this for a while/new to this" then go on for example to say "Where can I cum", then another text "can oral be without?"

Do you list everything in services and just refer back?

I also get quite a few who ask me questions I have answered in a comprehensive reply.

And many, likely majority cannot give me their required time, date, location, duration. I actually even give an example.

I know last post wasn’t to me but if someone isn’t sure of my services, I refer them back to my profile to read it in full to be sure we are on the same page and make it clear I don’t offer anything that I don’t mention or actively advertise, the same applies to my availability. I can’t stand spoon feeding people information that’s readily available.

When I get messages that don’t include any relevant information I have a message saved in my notes saying to allow me to organise their booking more efficiently can they ensure they have included their preferred time, date, duration, services and if they have any flexibility on the time of booking and I’ll get back to them as soon as I can. I’ve got similar set up as an auto reply in AW and some people will respond with the necessary information, some don’t but at least I’ve not wasted my time pulling teeth to get what I need. If I think their tone is okay and they’re genuinely just a bit inexperienced, I will gently prompt.

I don’t really get into a “what can I expect” conversation, I just say I provide a GFE service with some mild kink. Anything else they need to know is all online for them.

I find for what it costs to see us, anyone who can’t make the effort to find out about who they’re seeing  is probably a bit disingenuous and not someone I want to spend time with.

Thank you Rosie

I already have cut and paste replies, made a new one yesterday. Also had my leg seriously pulled, person who has been in contact before saying he's not done this for a while, went through everything then he said he would buy some content to compensate for the time (I had asked him to phone but he said texting was easier for him) he knew he'd gone on a lot.

Buying content means he's seen my profile.

Quite a few say they cannot remember where they found me. I need to put my AW link in my cut and paste, for all its faults AW does have a long list.

I’m always re-hashing what I send as I think (know) I can come off quite cold and it’s probably off putting. I even have a laugh about it sometimes and mention how would they book a table for dinner? Just expect the restaurant to guess when and how many for?  :FF I could probably tone down the snarky too  ;D

Some have said I'm too professional 'I only want someone to have a bit of banter with' they'd enquired about my sexting service. I replied with pricing and payment methods.

Hi ladies. Your replies are all much appreciated.

Steph89x and Mirror, thank you for sharing your experiences. I found these to be very useful. Is this something you enjoy engaging in (for e.g. when compared to more traditional SW?). I am not offering similar services but good to know that there is a market for them in case I branch out.

Mirror some good points there that I agree with: I don’t rely too much on a pic and don’t use it to gauge anything, e.g. behaviour during the booking and or if they will show up. It may not even be very reliable as a physical identifier (e.g. fake and old pics). But still works for me though…

Miffy, your second response with detailed advice (including screening tips and + re:instinct) is also most valued. Having a website is great but one has to be able to drive traffic to it. I’ll have a look @ Ana66 thread on vid calls as well, thanks for pointing this out.

PinkR2021, RB1, Kay and Justine: sure a) noting red flags & using instinct are key, b) privacy concerns, c) cutting of excitement, d) taking a bit of time & abuse-prone and e) that some men willing to exchange pics can be timewasters or never book. A bright side of things is that now it’s easier to have access to this as many voluntarily put up pics on messaging apps (to be taken with the above reservations).

Mirror + Rosie13/RB1, it was nice to see you taking the thread in a slightly different direction. I focus on inquiries in which people know what they want and who they are talking to (I tend to ignore or respond very succinctly to those that are curious, just want to have a chat or/and simultaneously messaging multiple SPs then would like me to say my name, where I’m based, what my prices/services are, the website in which they may have seen my ad and for me to send them my link).
