How do their posts effect your decision about seeing certain
someone. Do ladies search the prospective clients posts as the part of screening process?

I know there are some provider who are weary of seeing
frequent posters on the basis of discretion.

I also have seen contemptuous and demeaning opinions of some men who believe providers should not discuss politics etc.

What are your thought?

It's her:
1. reviews, ratings
2. demeanor in email/phone conversations
3. price range (I have my comfort zone, like every hobbyists? I stayed away from volume/low-price girls, dont' feel comfortable seeing very high price girls. --e.g. Amy Taylor, etc. lol )

Hey, Big Head, Get Out Of Jr.'s Way.

Beliefs about what women should or should not talk about are not going to have much of an effect on what we're actually doing. Not anymore.

The man who doesn't want to hear what women think is just going to be left out of the conversation when women are present. *shrugs* that's fine with me.

Anyway, to answer the question, po: speaking for myself, I do not search RB handles before making an appointment, because I do not make appointments through RB inbox. Telephone only. I need to hear his voice.

Once in awhile a client tells me his RB handle, so I can look him up to get to know him better. I like that. I like it alot if I find out that we have clicked before we met. It's exciting and fun.

This is a long-winded way of saying that of course providers who post will have it impact their business. For good and for bad.

There are women who I'm interested in meeting based on things they've posted, or because of what they've projected about their personality, attitudes about life and/or sex, general cleverness, or whatever. But based on past experience, I won't waste my time (or hers) to try to meet her privately unless I felt some physical attraction (or chemistry if we happened to meet in a public setting).

Bottom line: it's a factor for me, but not a dominating one. I have a weakness for short, attractive, busty, hot blondes... regardless of whether their posts intrigue me or not!

Of course good looks (what ever that means to YOU) and reviews that consistently report good service are an absolute requirement.

One of the reasons I don't like to go to AMPs is that I wonder if I'm supporting abusive human trafficking (sp?).

I'd also rather not see a whore that is a drug addict. The ability to write cogently and present, over a period of time, an image that they are somewhat together suggests a person that is more together than your typical crack or meth addict.

I'm sure there are many whores who have their shit together but don't post on RB. Of the ones that do post frequently, it is easy enough to separate the scary loonies from the sane folk.

Were you not still my hunger's rarest food...

I can't speak for the men here.

That said, I believe most clients and providers don't make their session choices based on forum posts, partially because most users on RB aren't active posters, and hopefully, because most people here are adult enough to know that posting doesn't have much relationship to interpersonal relations in sessions.

I don't worry much about the downside because the people who post negative things about me are not my clients and probably never will be and I feel like most of what they say is their own personal opinions not any kind of solid fact. They say "She's fat" or "Her rates are too high" but no one ever talks about my 6 retarded kids or my paralyzed pimp anymore. See if they talked about my husband and how he makes me blow is cat than I could see getting upset but everyone is entitled to an opinion.

On my reservation form I have an area for guys to give me their handles but I have never looked anyone up. From time to time a client changes e-mails or numbers and I use it as an emergency contact. I'll just inbox them that I don’t have current info.

It's fuuny because somtimes I'll get inboxes from clients and I have no idea who they are!

Yeah,I know...but I can't help it.

The guys that can't hang with women posting are a lost cause imo.

I also enjoy learning about providers via an email relationship but this is very rare as, understandably, they simply don't have the time.

Of course, I have also decided to avoid certain providers based on their posts...especially if they tend to project hostility. If someone's posts illicit pity from me, that is a bad sign. It sounds a bit silly to write it explicitly, but "pity isn't sexy". I also try to avoid drama and those who appear to be jaded. Now that I think about, I wish more providers would post more often! Maybe an essay option in the classified section!?!

...until we recognize,
a grandeur in the beatings of the heart...

To me, it is just one part to their personality, and I have read some posts of certain people only to meet them later and feel it just didn't make any difference, and in some cases they (to me) where TOTALLY different people...you can't judge a book by it's cover the majority of the time, and I don't try too hard. Opinions like most people change with time!

"Do ladies search the prospective clients posts as the part of screening process?"

Sure, why not - I assume a lot of gents do the same thing. Curiosity...ya know!
