are functionally illiterate.

Then there are those with lazy attitudes who don't want to bother.

Your site is very good, direct and to the point.  I read it all in about two minutes.  So, that is not the problem.  (Print could be  tad larger, though.)

It's a problem that probably won't go away.  

Here's a way one gal tried to solve it:  She offered a discount to any client who could answer a question about something in her website.  Whether that did the trick or not, I don't know.

...is part of doing business with the public at large.

I've been in sales, customer service and retail ops for decades and I've learned that no matter how many times you tell a jerk something important, they choose not to listen. Why? Because it's not what they want to hear and they believe that if they ignore the rules you are setting, they will eventually get what they want, the way that they want it.

Sadly, it seems to work for them quite often -- generally, some business mistakenly follows the old adage that "The customer is always right." I've taken the tack that "No, the customer ISN'T always right -- but we need to give them the benefit of the doubt."

When they show that they are going to disrespect you by not following the rules, you can try to gently correct them (usually doesn't work). Then you can either UNgently correct them or just send them on their way. Once they have revealed their jerkness, they are no longer worthy of your respect, time, knowledge or abilities. Those of us who are not jerks realize that is what a provider is providing, after all; the jerks are simply looking for the next warm receptacle.

There are some people with whom it's just not worth the time and effort. You should listen to that inner voice when you begin to feel that you're dealing with a jerk.

they skim. It's best to break down information into single-line tidbits rather than write complete sentences. Use bold face for emphasis where needed. Save the flowery prose for the intro page, but keep everything else concise.

That's not going to help you with idiots, but it will help normal guys know your requirements quickly.

I had a hard time finding anything about what you mention on your website. Do you list or hint at your limits (there are ways to do that without being explicit), or are we supposed to get that from your TER profile and reviews? Because a lot of guys don't trust them or take them seriously. Plus, they'll push you to go beyond your menu anyway. That's just how it goes. There's a nice way to do that, and a jerky way. Sounds like you got jerks.  

I didn't see anything on your website about how to handle money. In which case I presume you prefer the normal, industry's-standard method. But if it's important to you, maybe you should make an etiquette page. Not that everyone will read it. I'd try to put what's most important to you upfront. It took me a while to figure out you are outcall only, because those sections on TER and P411 aren't where my eyes go first, and it's not immediately obviously I'm your webpage.  

Just food for thought.

After I saw your post, I checked out your profile here, your p411, and your call girl files page. It is pretty obvious you don't kiss or do anal. However, if there's anything in any of those places explaining that you won't do cbj or how exactly you want the money to be handled, I couldn't find it and I was looking for it. I remember you saying on the forums once you do not do cbj, and you gave your reasons, but you can't really ding a guy for booking without reading all your board posts. Your profile says you do bbbj, but that doesn't imply that cbj is "a limit". Not to me anyway.

Now, if you explain this to everyone when they book or whatever, and these guys kept pushing, then they're jerks. Stand up for yourself, as Lexi said. But as far as I can tell, a couple of the items you brought up, you can't expect people to know about before they contact you. Had you told them?

Most of the time the money is not just handed over. It's laid down and never mentioned. But some people might assume that if you don't talk about that on your site, then you don't care. More likely, they don't care / aren't thinking. (Actually, the guy who did that was drunk and showed up with friends so he's just a fucking idiot.) Anyways, I agree with Darmody, if that matters to you, make an etiquette page.

I do like your site. It's simple but nice and direct. Good luck.

him because he had people stopping over. That is extremely unsafe. Anyone with a little common sense knows not to do that. You could have had a dangerous situation happen.

Guys that call us, they never, ever want anyone they know to catch them or know. They don't talk on phone when answering door either (if that ever comes up for you).

Always send drunks away. Not much good happens when they show up with a cold ass cock. Didn't you at least speak on the phone prior to meeting him? A big reason why "I" speak on the phone an hour or less before. You can hear if they are drunk. Some guys don't think at all. They do dumb things when drunk.  

As far as guys not reading things, it happens a lot. I am not a stickler on it as most are. It does cause headaches though if he thinks something is a go, when it isn't. I have my own way of clarifying. The best you can do is say to them again (anyone who contacts you) to please read your website etc. That it is important to make sure you are a match.  

His friend recommended you so I get him not reading your site "because" he assumes he will get the same as a friend. It is understandable but not a good way to go. Always tell them to read your likes and dislikes for a proper match. At that point, you can't do much if he is still a derp and doesn't do it.  

If they hand you the money, just tell them to put it aside. Even some guys who have been around forever still do this.  

The big issues with having a website is that you never want a whole bunch of don'ts because they feel you are negative or picky. Just a helpful piece of advice.

You can't prevent guys who don't read from contacting you but there are ways to deal with it (and before hand vs well now they are here). Also, some guys lie and say they didn't read it when they did. They seem to think they can talk you into things in person.

I remind then to make sure (while working on the booking) to read my etiquette page for other details. As well as my cancelation policy
