The guy can choose whichever way he desires to communicate with me.  I have both a number and a email address.  I do have a form that I cut and paste to an email in reply if its someone that is or sounds questionable.  Lots of people hide behind their email and until you ask, you never know what you're getting and today, everyone needs to be safe.

Even though I have a age requirement of 45 advertised on my site, I still get emails from guys who are younger than 40, which are a waste of time.  I don't think I've ever had a guy younger than 40 materialize into a comfortable session with me that I could connect with.  They either turn out to not have enough money (which is an insult and disgrace for what escorts provide) and want a discount or turn out to be a no-show.   Remember, you can't buy in the grocery store, what we provide.

Honestly, I have better things to do than to waste my time with someone who is a prankster.

In this hobby, safety is paramount....from the ladies perspective as well as the gents.  Therefroe, screening is important. However, what turns me off is timeliness or the lack thereof. No excuse for no response within 24 hours....48 hours at the latest. A lack of timeliy response demonstratyes a disrepect that will spill over to the session and ultimately impacts the pocketbook. My 2 cents.

going to the next level...

I'm not a fan of the form on a providers site. It makes me uncomfortable. What happens to that info? Some would say e-mail is out there too, cyberspace, servers, etc.   But I'm more comfortable with e-mail. I'll put whatever screening info the site form requests in an e-mail. I've seen many provider's sites that say it's ok to e-mail the info if we prefer.

It makes sense and is not overly cumbersome or intrusive.

And please don't ask for any full frontal nude photos.

I prefer to use e-mail, for the initial contact.  Most providers are real good, about answering them.

I dont like the forms

It takes a great desire to see the lady for me to fill one out.  Tell me what you want me to send in an email and I will do that.  I can also say what I am thinking overall.  Making it a bit more personnal.  
As far as answering, please simply respond within 24 hours to let me at least know you have received it and what is going on on your end. If your having trouble contacting me reference let me know, I may have more that might be easier.  But wondering what is going on isnt ever a good thing.

I hate screening forms. Almost as much as I hate

telephones.  That being said, if there is no indication of the email address anywhere that I can find, I will use the form if I really want to see you.  And trust me, I'll Google and TER and whatever I can think of to find an address.  I've even gone so far as to hit "submit" on a blank form to see if it will show me the address.

I would much prefer that you give me a list of the information you need to screen me and I will send it in an email.  I'll provide that, and whatever else I think will make it easy for you.  You will always get more than you need from me.

This also allows me to introduce myself politely and perhaps you can get a sense of who I am from the way I put the email together.  Am I polite?  Can I put two sentences together in proper order?  Can I spell simple words?  Maybe I make a comment about something I have seen here or on your website.  Maybe I make a joke to ease some of the tension. Maybe I request the courtesy of a reply to make sure you recieve my email.  I'm a big boy, I can take no for an answer if you aren't interested.

As I stated in the earlier phone thread,  I'm partial to written communications.  Maybe I should have been a writer.  

So where did I just go?  Oh...  now I remember.

1.  Email
2.  Form
e.  Phone

I perfer email. If I were you I would have the form on my site for those who perfer using the form, but also provide your email address for those like me. Of course the phone number for those who perfrer that method.
As also was stated a timely responce. Most of my "dates" are same day or next day - so the quicker the responce the better.
The other thing I would like to see on websites are their general location.

I have done the form when it appeared to be the only option.  One drawback to the form is that if I don't have an e-mail address to load into my contacts folder, the first response to the form may go into my junk folder.  I usually have time to review the junk, but if I'm in a hurry....  Frequently if I can't find an e-mail address, that alone will cause me to move on--there are a lot of fish in the sea!

with a follow-up phone call; or call first with a follow-up email.

I usually  request by email because it gives an opportunity to say more about myself. I will occasionally request via perf411 because it allows for the same possibility of adding more about myself than just the "basic information"

Haley,

If I have never met someone, I prefer to have them use the page it helps me stay not only organized
but makes it so much more simplified to have everything in one page so I don't have to sift through email to find the rest of his info. Once I screen , and have met, I don't ask for the page again unless it is
5 or 6 months . I only save one email to search it when he calls again so I don't have to make him redo everything. I say keep your page for new clients.

because I can include the information she seeks in her form in a much more friendly way. This also gives me a way to express some individuality rather than a cold form.

There is a reason we have all been taught how to write sentences rather than just fill in some blanks on a form.

But I welcome the info to be emailed if you just can't fill out the form.  

The form just makes the whole process more efficient for both of us, not required; only requested.  

I prefer e-mail or the screening form, either or... they both go to my inbox, so it really does not make me a difference. I use to prefer phone contact, as I did not previously have a phone w/Internet access, so checking my e-mails was limited to when I was at home in front of my laptop. Now that I finally upgraded to the 21st century, e-mail is much more organized and easier to keep track of everything. I also have a lot of instances where people call during my off-hours, or when I cannot pick up, & do not leave a message... an e-mail can be answered anytime, anywhere, in front of anyone!

I used to use a phone years ago...It rang all the time..
oops maybe I need it back!!

I am much more comfortable with the phone,  as I feel it gives a bit of the "personal touch"  and you can getmore of a sense if your going to click or not.  I also like asking  my questions, not to be nosy but to see how an individual responds,  their diction is very important as well as mannerisms,  very difficult to that in emails and texts.   For me,  it takes a lot less time and can give a good sense if someone is a time waster or not.

Just call me "old fashioned"

I prefer P411 for first contact followed by a phone call. I was with a real dumb gal the second time and I don't want that to happen again. P411 allows the lady to view my profile so I have that out of the way first. If I get a response I then request she call me. I am alone so a phone call is easy for me. I know I can answer with out having to answer questions. With a phone call I know at least I am talking to a woman and not some pimp texting me. Every phone call so far has lasted for a long time (45 to 60 minutes). While talking to the lady I can determine if she has a sense of humor and if we will mesh as individuals.
