I'm not sure what's more lame here. Your writing this whiny essay and then claiming "no hard feelings" or your perceiving to know how a woman should run her business? If you don't like it move on. It's that simple. But my guess is something on YOUR end didn't jive hence the failure to connect. As for "Mr Partridge" your attempt to demean him speaks volumes. He's professional, thorough and prompt helping her run her biz. That's my perception. You didn't get what you wanted. It happens. You're bitter and launch a rant here for every other lady to see. That helps you how?

While Ms. Courtesan could be a great companion, I had somewhat of an awkward interaction a couple months ago that I will describe below.
I have seen Ms. Courtesan’s profile on P411 and I diligently looked over her website/blog. Based on these, she appeared to be as beautiful as she was intelligent and personable. In short, a woman every inquisitive gent would love to meet. She was also very explicit about her being very selective, her discretion, and her need for privacy, including no reviews anywhere. Well, maybe somewhat extreme, but perfectly agreeable and understandable.
I used my P411 account to request an appointment. In a couple of days a reply had arrived. However, to my disappointment, it was not from Ms. Courtesan. It was from a gentleman I would call henceforth Mr. Partridge.
Mr. Partridge, who introduced himself as Ms. Courtesan's personal secretary or some such, outlined several rules for an aspiring date regarding their engagement with Ms. Courtesan. He told me that, if I were to agree abiding by them, I would be granted an access to someone who previously seen her (as I said above, Ms. Courtesan does not allow herself to be reviewed) and then I would be “cleared” to see Ms. Courtesan herself.
If this email had arrived directly from Ms. Courtesan, I would probably be making an appointment instead of ranting here. Similarly, if someone more vulnerable to critique (the unpleasant but necessary evil of being under a constant scrutiny of unforgiving TER lights) would've made this blunder, I would just let it go. However, it rubbed me a very-very wrong way that a Companion, who demands ultimate discretion of others, thought nothing of involving her proxy without my consent. Nowhere she disclosed that a third party reads and answers her email.
I commented on that in my reply, but alas, never got any response back. Seems like Honorable Mr. Partridge just pressed the “ignore” button.
I have no problem making an appointment thru an agent if I am - knowingly and willingly - booking with an agency. However, if someone brands herself “highly personable” and “very discrete” - and then shoos her P411-prescreened client away, to talk to her underling without said Client's prior knowledge, well… Even the hardy BP advertisers, God bless them, would kindheartedly warn you that “b4 yu see me, yu heav 2 tak 2 Ray first”.
Mr. Partridge had no business being privy to my email to a Companion. If someone does not feel like treating me with equal respect, I will take my business elsewhere. I am sure there is no big loss for Ms. Courtesan either. Orlando, after all, is fortunate to have Generous Gents and Wonderful Entertainers.
No hard feelings, just an advice – if someone is so concerned with her reputation, maybe she should do a bit more thoughtful PR.
