I meant "uber" sensitive hookers.
sheesh, I really shouldn't post until I start drinking. lol
Why do people text with just the word hello ? Lol I know time waster ... but hello and then nothing until prompted and then one word replies ?
Men can you please explain to me why you think "other" men do this ?
Xo,
Roxy
But I'll get an initial text "hello" from the ladies and my guess is that she's checking to see if I'm there and alone. It's her way of saying, "can you talk". It's short and simple and not drawn out, after all she doesn't know who can see my phone....and a "Hello" would be easier to explain then a " Hey babe, you still coming over tonight to fuck me".....yikes!!!
So I guess you can use this same logic with men...wow, I answered the question.
I not only do this all the time myself, but have MANY hookers, SB's and random civvy chicks open up a conversation to me the EXACT same way.
I think the OP is getting her panties in a twist for no good reason. It's no more offensive than meeting someone in person and simply saying "hi" It's certainly nothing to get upset over.
Providers send me these types of text just to make sure that my significant is not there to intercept the text or to make sure that it is safe to call or communicate with me. Clients do the same with providers.

You would call your provider, or vice versa, and just say, "Are you busy." If they say yes you hang up. "Busy" could mean any number of things, including your provider having another customer present, or your SO being present. Texting "Hello" is the modern version. It's innocent and doesn't give anything away. You don't say anything further unless and until they respond.
Although I did have a provider call me once and ask, "Is the coast clear?" I said, " How would I know, I'm 20 miles from the ocean."
Ripmany.
what is the deal with that guy? does he even speak English? Just read some unintelligible post about a ride at the mental hospital?
Just a troll.
longer it to see a hooker that a cop longer before you do time in jail.
@Roxy,
It lends me to believe indeed some of those whom do so are timewasters,
rather than experienced Hobbyists.
Unfortunately, I tend to find it a bit rude, so often, I just ignore them.
If I do respond, indeed, generally they are those whom are unreferenced,
and/or negotiators.
Those that know the standard protocol generally say...
"This is Clyde and I'm needing to ride with my Bonnie"
{I just made that up, but you all "get it", don't you?...
Except maybe @Ripmany won't comprehend my intended inference, because he clearly
speaks his own language, of which, I have no clue what it could be!!
{Does anybody, or is he just pullin' our proverbial chain!?}

it depends on what happens after you respond to the hello. If the hello is just to find out if you're not busy, or out to lunch with your mom, or something else that could prove embarrassing for you if he blurted out the whole message from the get go, then I think the discretion and respect he is showing should be appreciated. You will know by what happens next if he is a timewaster once you respond.
They just want to check in and let you know they still care.
If it is someone you haven't seen, then they are being weird and at best are time wasters. Put them on DNS

It's first cousin to the 'I'm bored' text. (Which completely deserves the appropriate rejoinder - 'Well, if you're bored, then you must be BOR-ing!!!''
I text someone when I have something to say. Like, 'Happy Birthday!' or 'Hey, I'll be at XXX place later on with YYY and ZZZ, want to meet us?'
I don't really text friends to chat - we're usually busy. And even if we're not... we'd be better off spending less time texting, and more time doing something else (walking, reading, meditating... drinking... I dunno).
I feel like a person texting me something like, 'Hi' or 'Whazzzzzuppp' is just a bored-ass muthafucka with no life and no money.
Including with my mother.
Texting/emailing is a great way to have a conversation when you actually do have a life that gets in the way of blocking out a large amount of time to have a phone conversation.
With texting/emailing you can have a conversation with some one that lasts the entire day, but one that only takes a few seconds here and there to keep going.
W/email, I can set a side a particular time of day to devote to correspondence, so I'm not being constantly pinged (none of my emails are so urgent that I need to respond within 5 seconds or even 5 hours. 5 days would be pushing it, but everybody would survive).
I find that it cuts down on stress, and really improves my focus and overall happiness/mindfulness (sorry for the corniness).
However, my 'other' job isn't social... it's something best tackled w/complete concentration... like, earphones in! Head down! Work!! I really enjoy it, and get into a flow state... being constantly tied to my phone breaks that flow state, and has negatively affected both my productivity and the quality of my work... I found that really frustrating.
There are times of day when I don't mind... say, when I'm eating lunch or on a bus or train... however, even then, overall, I still feel more happy when I put down the phone, and say, read a book. Or listen to music while staring mindlessly out the window.
But that's just me and my personality type, I'm definitely an introvert
Having spent so much of our young adulthood glued to a little white screen, we are now starting to try to break the cycle...
When I was younger, my friends and I would text each other all day, about the most inane things. Memes, jokes, 'Yo beeeeyotch!!', even updates as to what we'd eaten for breakfast/lunch. But now, the same people seem devoted to keeping it minimal. Maybe a few 'What's new?' questions if we haven't seen each other for a while, or maybe an update 'I got engaged to Dave!' But we keep it short. In general, we catch up in person.
While some people in their 20s and 30s still seem addicted, I've noticed that it's the older gents who are much more apt to email (or text) me messages like, 'Hi! How are you?' When they don't want to book an appointment, or even have anything to say. (Usually, they tell me, say, how many patients they saw, that they took a long walk, lost 5 pounds, did XX amount of pushups, or cooked a mean steak on the grill w/a yummy avocado mash).
I think it's a quality of life issue, and that people are becoming more and more cognizant of the effects of phone-addiction.
I hope so, anyway
And usually never hear back from them. Proves they are just a Timewaster. Otherwise they would see they need to be screened and send me that info.
I treat those who text Hello, the same as the ones who text "Are you available?". Who are you? If you are so worried about discretion why not just email me. This is the reason why I took my phone number off of my ads. So very annoying. Especially when I've never seen you before. If someone could reply to me and explain what these guys are expecting me to say in response to this that would be great. Because when I did respond and try to direct them to the proper conversation they ended up asking me ridiculous questions, Where is your incall? I didn't have an incall back then and it was listed on my website and ads. How much? How crass of a question is that? "I have $200 can you come to me? dude... NO!!!!!!! Do you offer XYZ? um did you even read my site?
What so fucking hard about that?
If the next text is something stupid like "whatcha doing?" from someone you don't know, THEN shitcan the guy.
I get texts like this all the fucking time and it it's hardly unique to guys doing this.
I have to say, some of you over sensitive hookers really show how you feel about your clients with your bitchy replies to stuff that isn't worth stressing over.
I do my best NOT to annoy easily annoyed hookers by simply NOT contacting them in the first place or immediately ending the conversation the moment I feel I am "bothering" her. See how easy that works?
I do not text any service providing business with a hello and just a hello. Plain and simple, it is common sense.
If I am getting my hair done it is ::::Hi Emma, _here, I would like an appointment on this day at this time.
If it is my gardener:::::Hey John _here are you available the following Friday to mow the back lawn again?
If it is a massage booking:::::Hi there, this is _ and I am looking to book an appointment at this date/time.
For a date with an escort, you should be even more descriptive. 9 times of 10, a "hi", comes from a client who has done minimal research about me, what I offer, my rates and screening policies.
but I think many of you girls are getting all bent out of shape over something that the majority of you do as well.
I will admit to sending many a text that simply say "hi" if I am not sure she is awake, around, or not busy at the time. If I get a response, I send a complete message, if not I haven't wasted either of our time composing a long drawn out message. And where did I learn to do this? From hookers of course. lol
Well I can tell you, I do things very differently.
And a lot of our clients are sneaking. We aren't like a gardener (although that's a hilarious mental picture...), we're elicit girlfriends.
gardeners. You spend some of your time trimming the hedge, don't you?
Lots of people have their phone set to show incoming messages on the lock screen, so to be safe I assume everyone does, and usually open with something ambiguous. Then get to the point when they respond so I know they're there. I don't think I'm the only person who thinks that way.
Agree- if the second message is nonsense, delete.
Over sensitive hookers? What is this phenomenon you speak of?
++100 ! EOM
“Happy Tuesday! Let me know if you need some help getting into trouble next Thursday or Friday, I have a few slick ideas up my sleeve" Would that work?
The one worded emails go to my spam folder automatically
A fair amount of my clients are double my age or so and are new to texting or do so very infrequently. Even though they understand how to text in a technical sense, it is still strange for them and most will open cautiously and with ambiguity for my benefit as much as theirs. Also, some of them are just treating the textual dialogue as though it were a phone conversation, which opens with a Hello.
A 'hello' from an unknown number would be ignored, but when I see one from a client, especially one newly pulled over to the communication Dark Side, I'll definitely respond.

when I'm texting someone new, I'm always a bit terrified I'm going to typo their number. Hasn't happened yet, but I can only imagine the horror of texting my typical "Hey, saw your ad, I'd love to see you for 1hr OC tonight if possible" to the wrong number. 
Men can you please explain to me why you think "other" men do this ?
Xo,
Roxy
I guess I shouldn't say just men do it. I mainly see male clients which is why I wrote that. I don't mind people writing "Hi" or "Hello" when we've already met and know each other. I also don't mind when they are first introducing themselves to me or if they want to check if the cost is clear.
I wasn't meaning genuine inquiries ... More the type that see my number and just text "Hi" and then continually text one word replies or things such as "$$$?" to which I just send my website URL directly to them via text. All my information is on there anyways as well as screening info that is required to book.
Perhaps instead of just texting "Hi" ... "Hi, it's Dave. Would you be able to text me when you have a moment?" or something along those lines would also be good for discretion. It's generic yet gives a little substance
