In a post below, many talked about checking at place of employment. What do you do if the prospective client does not have a place of employment? [ex. retired or informally self-employed]Also, why is client age reqired by some. Why isn't a "close" number ok? ex. 40's or 50's etc. My experience says that some providers make judgments about age that are not necessarily valid and these judgements adversly affect the session. The dob on my driver's license is not even a close predictor of my appearance or performance, but I know that I have been prejudged when I have given this info.in advance.

to let them think what they will and suprise them when they find that there is still life in an old guy.

I also ask profession related questions. If they are say an electrical engineer I'll ask something like what is Plank's constant. If they are a doctor I will ask about partial pressure volumes of lung capacity, or acid base chemistry. Even if you are retired, there is something that I can deduce about you that will make me feel comfortable about you. Publications, old newspaper articles, you name it. Retired people still have knowledge of what they worked with.
As far as old people go: there is plenty of spunk in your spunk. I always have a good time.

How's Key West treating you Doll?  Didn't you say something about Fantasy Fest? Dont let that work of art get sunburned.

I was asked:

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck? If a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Michelle, what were you thinking I did?

LoL

A cubist for the day?

It took me a few seconds, but I got it. I'm a little slow today!

Just testing to see" who's with me this morning.  That wasn't slow at all.  Welcome.

a) proving who you are, and b)proving who you aren't

That can be done in other ways. Age? I might only ask conversationally, but otherwise, I don't care except when they are too young (immature). I've seen gentlemen in their late seventies..

Thank you-  I know the comment about the aged was for me-  I still haven't thanked you for the lack of derisive laughter during our meetings...

age should not be a factor for a provider to see a client. However, isn't it funny that we're asked quite a bit about our age, even though we have pictures that show hobbyists what we look like. Some of us that are twenty look forty and some of us that are 40 look 30. Hmm! That could stir up a lot of interesting points, possibly on another thread. Never mind.

well in my experience I prefer older men. If I ask it is because the voice seems very young and I do not see men under the age of 30. I use to think it was because of maturity however that is not the case........ I have always loved and been attracted to older men( I had a wonderful father so that is not why!) I am just attracted to older men!!!!

All the wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

It's not the years; it's the mileage.

It's the Life in your years !!!

as a retired Electrical Engineer I couldn't tell you Planks constant. However I like Eulers Identity questions or maybe Maxwells equations of why propetual motion is impossible.
