Newbie - FAQ

The person you called has a voice mailbox that has not been setup yet

I haved called dozens of ads on backpage and 90% of them give the message in the subject line?  
What am I doing wrong?
These are recent ads on BP.

Hypotheses:

1. Is it that the woman are so bombarded with calls taht they never bother to setup voicemail because they have no need to call a John back to setup a date? There will always be another John calling 10 minutes later

2. Should I just keep calling every 5 minutes in the hope that I catch her between johns?

3. There have been a few women I have seen online that I thought would be nice to setup a date in advance. These are not necessarily woman with erotic reviews although one was. If these woman dont bother to setup voicemail because there are so many suitors, how is one supposed to setup date in advance.  

This seems like a frog mating scenario.

I know, I know, if I go through and agency or use reviews, I can probably get in line for an appt but I tend to like the spontenaity and uncertaintly of calling backpage numbers.  

Please address the questions one at a time.  
Thank

more likely have a voicemail setup or an email and reviews.. Horror stories have been posted here from newbies who felt adventurous, spontaneous and decided to TOFTT which should be reserved for more experienced gentlemen.. In general, the rule is to only see established and well reviewed providers so you can save your money and time gambling with phone numbers..

taking unnecessary chances (get robed, hit by a pimp, bait and switch etc etc etc)..  
for more acronyms, you can look in the self help center found below the lifesaver..

as a newbie stay off of Backpage. There are good providers on Backpage but they are harder to find and newbies should stick to well reviewed providers. Please read the advice I posted in reply to your method of avoiding LE post a few threads above.
