If you are new to the hobby and have no references and no verification from an independent site(p411,datecheck) then don't expect to be answered. If you have one of these, there is no reason you shouldn't expect a timely answer.  You don't know the circumstances of each case so don't judge. Be happy you  "sail" thru the screening and scheduling process that for others may not go so easily..

I have only been in the Hobby for about a year and I have not had any problems. I am a memeber of P411.  However when I first make contact with a provider (usually through email) I lay all the cards on the table up front. I give them my handle, P411 info and references with links. Almost 100% of the the providers thank me profuslly and sent an appointment promply.  I don't know, that just my strategy that seems to work.  Also I am contacting highly reviewed top 100 providers. That might make a difference.

Ladies are culpable as well for screening snafus.  Things would go more smoothly if ladies actually state what they need from a screening perspective in their ads or on the websites.  Saying something like "screening services or provider refs" doesn't really tell hobbyists what ladies are looking for.  In this case do the ladies accept P411, DC, R2K or some combo the 3?  Must all screening service members have provider ok's?  What exact info do ladies need for provider refs?  Is a TER screen name with some White List refs enough or do ladies need the date, time, location, phone #, etc. of the clients' appointments with referenced providers?  The possibilities are almost endless.  Clients can't be expected to be mind readers.

Ladies should also state expectations regarding how long it will take them to reply to inquires.  Some ladies get back to clients immediately while others take 24-48 hours.  It'd be nice to know who's prompt and who's not.

Being a jerk often goes both ways.

there are many top providers who are utr or not on that list that are equally good.. btw some of the top 40 are very strict at screening and doubt you will sail through with just references.

I ignore e-mails for so many reasons.

Such as:
- If a guys asks me to send him photos (unblurred or otherwise)
- If a guy asks for a discount
- If a guys says "I just want (some sexual act), how much?"
- If a guys uses the wrong name
- If I can tell he sent the same e-mail to a lot of girls
- If he says he saw my ad on somewhere I do not advertise
- If he has e-mailed me before and seems like he's full of BS
- If he the e-mails just asks "Are you available?"
- If something about his e-mail just seems funny
- If his e-mail address is "[email protected]" or something similar.

Sorry, boys - GENTLEMEN ONLY!!!!!

And despite always reading everything on a providers website, filling out a reservation form completely, and having some pretty good references, there are still some providers who simply will not respond. At all. And some of them are on the"Top 100 list". Others are outstanding in their communications: Samantha Sommers, who has responded in this thread, is a perfect example of a provider who has a clearly defined website and responds quickly. There are many others who are just as good.

Issues like this are not just hobbyist or just providers. There are guys who send inappropriate inquires, or don't provide the proper information. Just as there are providers who do not communicate what is required, or simply decide not to reply to an inquiry at all. There are plenty of guilty parties on both sides.
