I have no problems reaching out directly, just be clear what info you want so I can include it all in my message.

Good question and nice to see you posting!

I can't speak for every guy but I think the majority of potential clients def prefer to send an email and bypass the form, if the provider gives us that option. This is true for several reasons:
.
1) We cant be sure the form is encrpted but we know our proton account is. With all the worry these days about privacy, getting hacked, etc. its just one thing less to worry about even though no system is perfect I am sure.
.
2) It is more rigid to use the form and i think most of us prefer crafting our own, more personal, introductory email in the style we prefer. I would think it would show the provider our personality a bit better and give more of an insight into compatability maybe? Just a thought.  
.
I cant think of a single guy friend in this business who would not reach out to a provider he wanted to see bc she didnt have a form to fill out. In fact, I have seen some say publicly they would avoid women who demand the form be filled out. I am not sure about that, but what I do feel certain saying is that I cant imagine you would lose one booking if you did away with your form.
.
Hope that helps. Cant wait to see you again!

I'll provide counter point. I think the form is better for the ladies because it will ask for everything that she would like to have information for. Not only that, it is structured so she can see the information come through the same way each time. And if she has it tied to a spreadsheet integration, then it's automated and she doesn't have to input the data herself. Presuming that she configured the form.

I've heard from providers complain about guys who write 1-2 sentences in their introduction where is just like, are you available, I'm xx age and handsome. Then the provider has to reply to the email asking for the information that the form would ask for, like screening information and proposed appointment times.

For the client, the form also is less likely to go to spam than your email going to spam.

Bots can still send spam messages if your email is listed on website because they can scrape any text.

I will usually use the booking form if there is one. I always was under the impression that it was the preferred method of first communication with the ladies. Sometimes I will also send an email with the same information.

I only take clients who use my booking form because it allows me to keep things organized and I can track my business stats better. If a guy wants to go back and forth with emails and I have to ask for every little thing it’s a big turn off and waste of time.

Thank you for your feedback everyone! I took the booking form off my site
