My name is Leroy. I'm a white male, 33YO. I have sent mails and left phone messages for many providers over the past two weeks. Not one has contacted me back.

Is there an industry convention that has closed shop for a few weeks?

I am wondering if my name, "Leroy" is too African American sounding and maybe some providers are hesitant to get in touch with me?

Maybe my age 33 is too old?

Or, if providers are just so busy with endless clients and not enough time and energy in a day. If that's the case I'm going to open up my own agency. There should always be a little more supply than demand - especially when there is no manufactured product and just a service - a service that requires little education and training - and it pays well.

33 is not too old. Some may think too young.

Whether or not I have availability I return all emails, as I'm sure most ladies do unless the note is rude, or contains vulger language. Are you including all the information in your email that the lady needs to screen you? And don't use any code words, that screams LE.

"Little education" .... Ouch! Now I am no Rhodes scholar, but do have a college degree. And yes it's a liberal arts degree from a state school, but geez your comment is awfully condescending. To assume we are all uneducated is kinda insulting.

And lastly it's is not always "just a service" but a few moments in time where a connection is made and savored. I put ALL of me into every date: my heart, and soul and am completely devoted to whoever I am with.  Of course you may not be looking for this sort of encounter so I suggest you read the reviews of any lady you contact so that you can get the experience you want.

Well put MC.  Leroy obviously has not done much homework about the biz.  Wish you would have not used an alias so I could PM you.

If you show as much cockiness on the phone as you do with your comments then I can see why nobody is calling you back.

"black name". I would call yourself "Lee" when contacting providers. Just telling it like it is.

its a shame that most ahencey disciminate
they dont like blacks , hispanics and indians
some dont even like italians
but i once had to leave a provider because she didnt like italians.

If you demonstrate one ounce of the attitude when contacting providers that you showed in your post, then I understand why no one is bothering to respond to your calls or emails. Thirty three is no too old or young, I was twenty nine when I started and I got every date that I asked for, except one.
Some providers choose not to see men because of one or more of the men's attributes, but most gentlemen would not bother with those types of providers, to be honest. All top notch providers are more concerned about meeting hygienic gentlemen that behave like gentlemen at all times, check reviews and get in touch with one of them, if you are a gentleman. If you are not a gentleman, my suggestion is that you quit the hobby now.

If I have a potential "friend" call me for a date...and he has a little bit of attitude...I will not schedule...I will tell him I am booked up or to call me later in the week.  

If you really want to see a provider...you need to give them the respect you would any other woman We are all just trying to make it here....a lot of us have full time careers other than the whole provider thing.....and some girls maybe single moms or whatever....so I think it is really important that everyone is nice and respectful to eachother.

Megatha,

I'm just wondering if the providers are so busy with clients that they have no choice but to turn down business.

I'm a gentleman, never crude and never insinuate that I'm LE.

You write" "Little education" .... Ouch! Now I am no Rhodes scholar, but do have a college degree. And yes it's a liberal arts degree from a state school, but geez your comment is awfully condescending. To assume we are all uneducated is kinda insulting."

In response to my "There should always be a little more supply than demand - especially when there is no manufactured product and just a service - a service that requires little education and training"

All I'm saying is that there is no test or schooling to get into the profession. You can be a PhD but it's not required to enter the business - that's all I'm saying. 'Just a service' means that you don't have to lay out any money to start this bunsiness - you are not purchasing materials in order to manufacture products.

All this meaning that if there were milloins of me waving tons of money that some nice lady could accomodate and break into the profession easily.

Am I assuming correct?

Hopefully my original post, which I thought was clear, has now become moreso.

Thanks for your thoughts...

I appologize if my original post was read in a negative light. I am a very clean gentleman and totally come accross that way when I initially email or call a provider.

Strangers posting on a public forum easily promotes misinterpretation. If you knew me you'd know that my original post was not negative or ungentlemanly-like or meant to insinuate that providers were uneducated or performing a brainless activity.

I just thought it unusual that a clean cut, pretty cool, nice guy (who presents himself this way not only in initial emails and phone nessages but in life in general) would have a difficult time getting in contact with only 20% of the providers contacted.

I find it easier to meet and connect, hook up and start a 'dating' style relationship in everyday life. I think this is a bit ironic.

The poster who replied that I am somewhat new to this is correct. I was able to meet two providers since my intitial post.

Everything went great and I'm taking one of the providers to the opera on Friday the 25th  - no charge, just as friends.

I must be doing something right once I get through the initial contact hurdle.

Thanks for all your input and I realize how easy it can be to misunderstand a stranger on a public forum such as this.

I am and I totally agree. It would be my estimate that more than 80% of the providers out there have a career or pursuit of a career outside of this.

Hi Leroy,

I've been infrequently indulging in my hobby over the last year or so, though more so now that I've moved to a new city.

When I've called the agency directly (with NO privacy block), I've always been able to get a response, and usually a provider that same night.  The only times when I haven't been able to was when I called very late in the evening.

I've tried three times using email to contact a provider, but I haven't had any luck.  I'm not sure if I'm providing enough information, or if I'm providing TOO much information o_0

Anyway, my suggestion would be to call the agency/provider directly.
