Hi everyone,

Really hope this is the right place to post this ? had a little look around and couldn't find any answers, but please move if there's somewhere more appropriate.

So I've very recently started advertising, haven't had any bookings yet because trying to get screening details out of clients - name, address, landline number/hotel details - is like trying to get blood out of a goddamn stone.  I have lurked enough on here to know that this is the minimum I should be getting out of potential clients before agreeing to an outcall (I don't currently offer incalls), so haven't met with anyone.

I just really thought it would be more routine to these men than this, especially as they seem to have AW feedback from other genuine escorts, who I know must have the same procedures... and then they act all shocked or evasive when I ask for these details.

Is this normal? Or am I going about this incorrectly? Maybe I should insist on them during the phone call so that they can't prevaricate via text/email?

Or are they specifically just trying to dick me about because I'm perceived as 'new'.

Sorry again for the noob post it's just making me a little anxious.

Thanks cheesypeas!

I'd been asking for certain information before we speak on the phone: booking time and date first, then name/address type details. My reasoning was that that there's not much point speaking with someone whose name and address I can't verify in advance, as I won't be meeting them regardless.

But then I spend a ridiculous amount of time semi-successfully dragging it out of them before we even get to the phone stage.

Now you say it that actually does seem really timewastery. Just wasn't 100% sure that was the case at the time, as I've had a ton of them today and nothing genuine to compare them with!

I'll ask over the phone in future 

+ 1 for no ping pong.

I do incalls so it's a bit different.

IF I were doing only outcalls I think I would have a specific tab dedicated to outcalls. Providing enough information about how/hours/booking procedure. Maybe even a FAQ or two for idiots.

The way I deal with emails is fairly simple. I only answer emails that need being answered (a booking organised for distant future etc). If they ask for information that IS provided on my profile I refer them to my profile. If they want to book I simply reply that as it is stated on my profile bookings are BY PHONE. that's the way I pre-screen them and a guy unable to call me is a TW anyway.

It may seem a bit radical to you but at the moment you are "fresh meat" and as such you're attracting a huge amount of time wasters.

Haha yeah I'm seriously beginning to realise this! The amount of men would-be condescendingly saying to me 'I've never been asked for my name/address/number before... is this your first time?' is enough to make my blood boil.
I also just straight-up do not believe this, like are they srsly trying to tell me that the 50+ escorts who've left them feedback just walked blindly into some random apartment?? Lol ridiculous.

At the moment I have a part-time day job so I don't have my phone number up on AW ? I just wouldn't be able to answer often enough. But I did put up a bold booking procedure at your suggestion, and a note that I screen people. It's now super easy to filter out people who haven't read it!

Thanks guys.

Fingers crossed I'm now starting to get a couple of slightly more normal/genuine-seeming requests too. Yay 

Well you can simply put up your number for the hours when you pick up the phone. Sure you still pay 1.2 for the full 24hrs but phone is simply the best way to screen.

I'm not sure I understand why clients with a lot of good feedback would be reluctant to go with your screening. Ok say some of that feedback is fake, still some is clearly genuine which means they are familiar with the screening procedure.

Errrrm maybe there's something not entirely well worded/requested in your screening?

i do  outcalls  just   with   guys  who is members    in  aw  with minimum 4  positive feedbacks,  or  prepaid  taxi, or   if   send me some deposit  via  pay pall  ..or if  stay   in  hotel   where i can call intro   hi room and check  where is  really  here

Ohh noo I hadn't considered this.. maybe you're both right both right it's a bit preemptive?

I try to be on the super-friendly and reassuring side, along the lines of 'great so 1hr tomorrow at 4 at your place. All i need from you is x details about where I'm going, and a little chat on the phone. This can be closer to the time, if you like', but maybe I'm asking for these things a bit too far in advance.

See, this is where your gut instinct comes. A genuine client will have no problem providing these, a TW will. BUT this is something you can only learn with time and experience.
One advice though. Don't bloody think of being super-friendly and reassuring. Go into warning section check my post about that guy high on coke, yeah that's me being bloody friendly and nice. Just don't.
