So, being (relatively) new to this "hobby", reached out to some agencies. I won't name them but 2-3 that I reached out to, person on the other end seemed too rude/cocky. Almost like they're doing a favor to even respond (even though I was absolutely polite and respectful in reaching out). Makes me wonder if it's like a test (push some buttons, be rude and see how the person responds?). Like a mechanism to weed out super aggressive folks and don't accept them as clients?  

That’s an interesting observation.  I think the response we hobbyists get, when we are potential new clients,  is based in the fact that these agencies have to be “on guard” when dealing with an unknown person. I imagine this can feel and sound like skepticism at best, distrust at worst.  Plus, it is the exact opposite of what we are used to as consumers in the legal world when we are embraced with positivity for the potential dollars we bring. I guess it is the necessity that comes with their business model. That being said, once you are established as “real” and non-threatening, you should expect better treatment

Thinking back on my first contact with two agencies in the area, both times where were very matter of fact to start.  Once I demonstrated that I was a real, non-LE, prospective customer, the demeanor changed 100%.

That does make sense and I also feel the same. Anyways, I was just curious if that's the norm or am I 'the chosen one' for some reason (I sure hope not! Lol).

No AMP, both are reputed escort agencies. I'm assuming I'd be likely sailing in the same boat once cleared lol

I am a fairly infrequent flyer and am not a P411 member. Last year when in Chicago I called a popular agency who at that time offered outcalls on their website. I inquired specifically about an outcall with a specific provider so I was put through the mill and was required to give all kinds of info including my license to schedule. Once I submitted everything along with my specific request for outcall with a specific provider, they THEN tell me no outcalls for new customers. Why wouldn’t they just tell me that up front before all the hoops? So anyway, I agreed to the incall which was close by my hotel but when I emailed to let them know I was there, I was informed the provider I requested wasn’t available but another one was. Since I was there and horny, I agreed to see the other one. It turned out fine and I got along with the provider just great, but I was still upset about the bait and switch and emailed the agency to complain. Then, it was all my fault according to the bitch scheduler as it was somehow all my fault.  No apology, nothing but a “Just be happy I let you see anybody “ attitude.  
Now this year, same thing happened with another agency after they got all my info, they told me no outcall was available.  I finally did get something with another agency but their scheduler has a horrible attitude. After much back and forth with that miserable human, they finally agreed to an outcall with the provider I wanted. It turned out to be the best experience I’ve ever had in this hobby (review coming soon) so I guess my advice is put up with the “I am king” attitude of the  scheduler, salve their ego a bit and it will work out in the end.  
Another thing I found very irritating here in Chi-Town is the number of providers requiring a deposit. What is up with that?

I’ve been noticing that some are requiring a smaller deposit.  
I know some guys refuse to pay a deposit if it’s a small $20-40, and if I get scammed then whatever.  

The reason for the attitude in my opinion is that they have way to many  customers and the girls get fully booked either way. They will charge their attitude if these girls were sitting alone in their hotel rooms.  Putting up with this shit is insane an further shifting the power to them. I will absolutely not book with anybody with an attitude.

Your experience seems terrible!! I'm just waiting for response back from an agency for about a week now! I've flawless record so not sure why this is taking this long!! Oh well....

Yea but in Chicago you'll have ZERO agencies left then. They ALL seem to behave this way for some unknown reason. Not sure what's the need. They could just decline straight up that they are unable to (unwilling to) accommodate new clients at the moment. Pretty disturbing how they behave for no reason at all!

So what’s the problem with not using the rude agencies. The independent girls are much better any way.

No, I hear you. There's no problem as such. I'm just puzzled why most agencies have chosen to start off on wrong foot (likely intentionally). Once you get in, it's almost always smooth sailing. I was only interested in few  ladies from selected reputed agencies hence tried to go through the trouble. Only time will tell if it's worth it.
