This is a funny question, but who do providers open the door and hide behind it? I have noticed most of them do this, and dont know why?

I can't imagine opening the door and letting a stranger
I had never looked in the eye walk through it.
I ALWAYS meet and share a beverage with my date.
It creates a comfort zone and the banter/interaction is foreplay.
It takes more time, but is fun!

Just the way I handle my biz.  
Ladies, please play safe!!

maid, neighbor, UPS guy, etc could be passing in the hall.    I think it's that simple.

Also, sometimes she may be wearing very little when she opens the door.

That was exactly my response.... When I stayed at a hotel I would peek through the hole and open the door with myself hidden behind it - what if the maid just saw me letting someone in two hours earlier? At least this way it looks like you could be alone in the hotel rather than meeting a cute young girl (in my case at least) that might be your daughter but who is dressed like a 10! Lol.

to keep from being seen from nosey people.  In a word, discretion.

it is easier to slam a door shut when you can put your shoulder into it

. . . was coming through my door intent on having sex with me, I'd be a little hesitant, too.

I know every time I meet my daughter at a hotel for lunch she is wearing a teddy!  

Isn't that in 30% + reviews?

Hasn't bothered me when getting massages -- better than walking past video cameras, maids and families in a hotel.

I appreciate ladies who think about discretion, though this is a minor detail. Best defense is not to stand out and act like you belong there (because you do!).

Worst is having to stand outside a door on street, in hallway, anywhere waiting. Awwwkward.

Maybe mix it up and peek around the door at knee level and ask, "You don't mind little people, do you?"
