How do u ladies avoid or deal with time wasters? They r nerve wrecking and I'm starting to believe there r a bunch of guys in charlotte who really dnt have anything to do but call providers just to bullshit them!

Where you market yourself can make a big difference. WAAAAY back 3-4 years ago I would buy a sponser ad on Backpage occasionally and put my number in the ad. OMG I would have to put my phone on silent ring so I would answer EVERY idiot that called me. I would listen to the VMs and see if anyone who at least sounded "normal" and lucid left a VM. Every once in a while someone left an intelligent message and I would call them back. Screen them and everything went well.

I always had an EROS Guide ad up for the Carolinas.  I've found far less time wasters and way more great guys from my EROS ad. Apples and oranges. Some ladies think EROS is too expensive. I don't see it that way. If I can get one date from Eros, the ads cost and then some is paid for. I really didn't have many time wasters on Eros.

Today you couldn't pay me to be on BP. This is the first place LE checks out and most busts come from BP. Just too dangerous to me to risk!

When I travelled I would always have my number on my Eros ad. Locally, sometimes I had my number on my ad sometimes not.

Thank u, that is a great idea I will indeed do. After u have made the connection, do u ever have phone contact with them, or do u keep everything strictly email?


Thanks K

I require reservations & a 50% deposit to book.  I took my # offline 3 yrs ago & never again will I have my time wasted!

You have to remember it's YOUR business. If excessive phone calls is not your thing, don't list your number. I have heard other companions say that their calls dropped when they removed their number. The thing is - if a guy REALLY wants to see you, he'll send an email. I'm open to chatting after screening is complete. I'm a little more lenient with my time when it comes to things like that but I've learned if you give some of these guys a inch, they'll take a mile lol.

Also email is great because you can take time and gather your thoughts before responding to an inquiry. I know girls that have gotten in trouble for running their mouth on the phone. I agree with an above poster on the notion that it's depends on where you advertise. I posted one ad on backpage this year without my number and the volume to my website alone scared me I haven't posted again (I'm paranoid). I just stick with eros and TER. Better quality clients for sure and less bs. Remember you have to do what's best for you. It's your show. Get a google voice number and set it to "Do not Disturb" when you're not taking calls. Good luck

Used to list it in all my ads.Especially when traveling to Boston,Philly.Was overwhelmed with the phone.Now  I only have my phone on Eros.But  mention in ad  e mail me the screening stuff/references .No texts No csalls after 7.Too many timewasters from Backpage,asking stupid questions,calling at 2am ,not knowing anything about screening.

A lot of back page girls who use the phone exclusively are girls who are taking same0day appointments with no screening at all, and they don't want to dick around with back-and-forth emails; you call, you make a date, that's it. These girls are either 1) new, and don't know any better, or 2) semi-scammers with fake pics, providing poor service, upsellers, etc. or 3) full-on ripoff artists.

(Please don't misunderstand, I use BP myself all the time since I am in a small market area, and I know many high-end providers use BP as an alternate advertising forum.)

Krystal, as many of the ladies have told you, it's a good idea to use email first to start the screening process, and weed out the idiots who are just calling to hear your voice while they look at your pictures, if you know what I mean.

I'm going to start this immediately THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

BP and yes its horrible in Charlotte, I post maybe once a week, now that I'm working on a Eros ad, and advertise on pf411.

Thank u for this!

Thank you
I am taking this into effect immediately!
