I know that everyone strives for discretion, but lately I’ve been encountering a lot of “I do not discuss services” and, for me, that’s a hurdle I’m not able to get over.  

When I’m looking for company there are certain things that I like and knowing ahead of time if it’s off the table saves me from wasting time/money. I loathe the scenario where in the moment she says “I don’t do that.”
It’s an absolute mood killer and makes me wish I’d called someone else. So normally if I see the “I don’t discuss services” or whatever variation I move on. Conversely, I feel like I’m missing out because it’s possible that those things are available.  

How do you guys navigate that, if it matters to you? Is this just a ‘me’ thing?

If she won’t discuss services, check her reviews. Actually you should be checking her reviews before you contact her.

That is typically where I start. On some occasions info can be hard to come by and I have to dig a little deeper.

I agree, reviews tend to give at least an idea of what she offers as well as personality. Some ladies are also more open to discussing services after screening is done.

Most providers won't discuss services, at least in my experience. This is because it makes life a lot easier for the 'boys'. As others have said, look for reviews her or other site, google search the number or email even do a reverse image search on her pics (tineye and google work well).

HTH

Where are you looking for ladies?  You keep having these bad experiences (I read your reviews), many of us wouldn't dream to some of the behavior you've encountered.  

Maybe it's time to change where you are searching.
