do you like it short and sweet to the point or the more elaborate long verses  some of the women write ? also what makes an ad stand out besides the pic is it the caption that draws you in ? once into the ad  what is going to keep you reading?  Some gals have gone to the longer almost poet style of writing prose and such does  all that effort capture your attention or not so much .....thanks in advance we ladies love your advice and thoughts it only helps us make it better for you !

.....obviously, we both know yours are way too long LOL!  Sorry, I couldn't resist the wisecrack, and you really left yourself open for that!!  Now, I'll answer the question honestly, but I can only speak for myself.  It really matters what is said, NOT how long or short the post is.  If I find the post interesting, I'll do further investigating, the length of the post has nothing to do with the level of my interest, but I'm speaking only for myself.  Now, when are you making some good Egg Nog?

Thoughts from actual hobbyist on this subject. Considering the average attention span for adults
is only about 7 seconds I would love to know what captures those fleeting seconds, especially in the male brain! *mischievous wink*

The way you post an ad can get or keep my attention in various ways. I don't mind long ads at all if the content is good. Trying to make a good impression in only a few words is a very hard thing to do. I may be wrong but I feel the intention of an ad is to get pique my attention and interest in a way that I will then go to your website and take a longer look. If your ad is lacking substance then I will move along. I love it when a lady can show off her intelligence, her sense of humor, or even her erotic side. That will keep me glued to the ad for however long it takes for me to read it. Then I will go and check out her website to see if it carries over to her personality on her website. The picture doesn't make or break the ad for me. It only let me know what you look like. I would much rather know WHO you are from the way you represent yourself.

I like an ad that tells me what I want to know. I also enjoy the poetic ads. It amazes me how some of the ladies write this stuff. Some of it should be published. It is as with anything you read. If its interesting and informative and even funny it holds my attention.

so do you prefer funny or serious ? do you read the relly long ones all the way through or cut to the chase?

What I really like to see is an ad where I feel like I am getting a sense of the provider's personality. Sometimes that means a long poem, or sensual prose, or just the bare facts. I appreciate reading ads that help me develop an honest opinion of what to expect from our encounter. I'm one of those hobbyist who do this in lieu of dating, and while I have very specific ideas of what I do and don't find attractive physically, I am also interested in the conversational and companionable aspects of a session. I will admit that the first thing I look at in an ad is the pics, lol. If that doesn't get my attention, I won't even look at the text. Once my interest is piqued at that point I am in research mode, and will generally read the ad in its entirety, unless I come across something that convinces me to give this one a pass.

And we want you to know

Really depends on the type of gentleman being targetted and how he is feeling. A fellow hobbyist in Dallas years ago had the handle "32 Flavors". There was not a particular type (well, he was a breast man), but we had the pleasure of being able to meet ladies in different settings prior to an appointment. I go back to USENET days and prior to web for this business. Anyone remember "The Fox Files"? One of the first picture sites. The transition to this medium for this type of service is akin to going to a plastic surgeon. You really want references from people you trust and to have a pre-meeting before the "surgery" (not sure I want to speak my mind about the integrity of reviews or the motives behind them or the value of socials - I've seen them help and hurt ladies).

Chemistry is binary and animal - and not able to be determined from an ad. Like going to a name store or city with a preconceived notion... until you are "there" you don't know if you will return. I have had "regulars" for a while, but the notorius "JUST JACK" would tell you "They're good until they're not."

Yea, cute pics help, but I dislike when the pics are photo shopped, blury, staged, And probably not what I am going to get. Experience tells me I'd take a chance on someone real, than someone fake. But cute . So keep it real words wise and no glamour shots. Word does get out if you are portraying something you are not. If your reviews have a tendancy to state you are late, way different than pics, or you are marketing yourself way too much, it can be a turn off. You gotta be really "service special" if you faked up your ads too much and guys keep coming back. But chemistry is a strange thing....

That said, if you want "one visit", be someone other than your ad or how you portray yourself on the boards. Or be selfish, and not think about the value of your clients and potential clients. Or play games. Something about flies and sugar...

What draws me in the first time... a simple message. A real untouched photograph. Ads or posts created by the individual themselves. Rules or wishes on a website need to be "kind" and not "yo' let me tell you what you can't do and how you better not act or you can talk to the hand".

I am amazed how many times I see negative or condescending posts. Well, I like Bailey's to be honest because she is being real. Someday when I am in that "in your face" mood, I will see her. Yes. I will see her.....

This business is tough. I have found ladies on all online venues. And we want variety. The fleeting seconds, not sure if that happens for guys in the know..... I spend a lot of time usually looking through a variety of things quietly before I make contact. And if the contact (email, etc) is good, I usually get pulled through. Update your photos. Don't let me know about all the guys (reviews on your site, etc). I want to feel like your one and only... for an hour

There is a great book called "BLINK" which describes how we make those fleeting decisions intuitively. It depends on the type of man, their background, their experiences, their "flavor(s)", their mood...

But who could not be captured by a picture of Holly smiling. Or the Lady that is Victoria. Or the freshness of a Bailey. Or the Rock Starr. Or the "under the radar" approach of a Hailey, or the pheremone drenched Krista (of days gone by - gentleman give me a high five on our old "Krista"). I could go on and on about so many charming individuals. The things that make them who they are will come through for the quality ladies. It is trying to figure out if I have chemistry through a non biological medium.  Or you could post nudie pictures showing some breasteses, yea, that would do it! The little head wins again. Darn.

Crap Holly you made me realize I have severe ADHD, my attention span is roughly 7 seconds.

I highly doubt too many men actually read all the pages on websites or ads. Their penis takes over and searches for Pictures, rates, reviews and contact information.

...it doesn't have to be an either/or situation. If I'm attracted to a lady through her pictures, I'll read her ad, her sensual vignette or her blog. Creative writing can illuminate a woman's sense of humor or her perspective on reality or fantasy and this can be a real turn on for me. It can create a good basis for conversation starters when we meet. If you're not that good at expressing yourself through writing, display yoursef through your humor, wit, sassiness and gracefulness. Unlike men, women are multidimensional and have an almost endless arsenal at their disposal to seduce.

Show me who you are....

First of all, baileym is right - to a point. Sure, I'll check the the basics - photos, rates (reviews go without saying) first. After that, if everything looks good, I'll start reading. Some ads clearly sound like the lady or a friend is writing what they think the average guy wants to hear. Too many ads sound like advertising copy, and some are pretty poor examples at that.

Many of you ladies who post on this board are much more interesting. I love dates with some good conversation and a sense of connection. I'm not from Phoenix, but travel here and keep coming back to what is certainly the best regional board of all the cities I travel to. That is mostly because of the interesting, provocative, intelligent and funny posts by you ladies. I love to hear from you. I look for those same things in a ad. Sometimes the ad is provocative, sometimes funny, but when it is well written and sounds like it really reflects the personality of an interesting woman who is willing to open up, I'm intrigued.

I recently saw a lady in my home town, based every bit as much on her writing as her profile. Among other things, she wrote beautiful prose short stories about dates, & situations leading to sexy encounters - maybe true, maybe fiction, but all very erotic in a classy way. Those stories were all accessed through a menu item on her home page, so guys who were interested didn't have to go there. Maybe that's the short answer, Victoria. To Holly and Bailey's point, give the short story (maybe more than 7 seconds!) up front, but if you want to try your hand at writing, go ahead and add a page. And, my Bad, this is way more than 7 seconds of an answer!

hey my ad are always one liners or two at most on ad page  you must be confused  with my longwinded boards threads .....you like egg-nog  JEFFERY?  you know where to find me ......spiked ot plain ?

so if I quote poetry to you  your going to read it  even if its not mine but a famous writer from history or if I refere to myself as a flower ready to bloom  if you can find my budding bulb  guys really like that stuff ????? I tend to love the quick wit and the play on words  but I am not buying  just love to read them

After reviews and before contact information, add personality...

I try to pick up a sense from board posts, web page verbiage, and there may be hint of it in the reviews even those generally star the reviewer, not the reviewee...

Not sure how you portray personality positively in an ad.. I've seen a lot that manage to do it negatively and just make my mouse quiver to go "click!"

Humor works for me better than poetry, and I'm not interested in the great American novel until just before contact information....

I like short and Informative(!!!) ads.  Give me stats and rates and availability.
And real and current pics.

Re: And we want you to know

Alright god damn it, I'm not that scary.........Sheeesh you guys make it sound like when you enter my place it's an immediate WWE wrestling ring and you're ready to tap out before it even starts lol

Advertising has become almost scientific these days.  There are complicated strategies to promote and sell various products.  I think the key is first identifying your target consumer.  Once you've done that you can then formulate the correct ad to use.  After all, Miller beer and Mercedes ads are obviously quite different.  The reason, of course, is they are going after different demographic groups.  

Escort ads are no different, in general.  There is no single generic ad that will work for all hobbyists.  So, the escort needs to write her ad with the type of customer she hopes to attract.  

My 3 cents ^

so I spend time following the board and looking for who I might like to spend some time with. I prefer long visits and especially dinner dates. So the more the lady writes, creates, toys with us, and adds to 'the dream" the better. Krista curdled the milk in my fridge with her Lord Byron post, Brooklyn has me rewriting my bucket list, and bailey has me trying to figure out how to get large electronic devices past the TSA. And I pray every night that maybe they'll leave the valley and come visit the northeast when I can drive the dog team out of the snowy woods to see them. I won't hitch the dogs for a run at a woman who can't melt my screen with words and picts. Oh, and Victoria, you are doing a hell of job on this board!

when I started, I looked at eyes, boobs and body. Off to the phone and here I come.... Now I feel like I must do research to find a good provider. With everything out there from LE to ripoff to cash/dash to dishonest pictures. Lucky for me, there is about ohhh 15-25 really great looking, dependable providers here in the Phoenix area. I am not gonna list because I know I would leave someone off the list and shitstorm would be the outcome. Of course the rates vary for providers. In today's economy everyone is looking for their diamond in the rough! the ads that I personally laugh at are the ones that say "pornstar" when you find out that they have made a few or less movies. thats like saying I am a celebrity because I have been on TMZ or CNN 4times in my life! which btw I have been!

...like when Krista cites the words of Lord Byron. I fall easily for that stuff. Give me more!

As for me-- I hate the "4our-8ight-Oooh" kind of stuff.  Give me the number!  That way I can right click it into TER to check the reviews.  If I have to transcride and unlock the code just to contact, the Ad is telling me that you are too high maintenance for this regular guy.

When browsing for a provider I scan the info pics "the basics" so having that easy to locate is nice then if I like what I find I go more in depth checking to see if they have reviews to verify they are legit providers if they pass both those then I do like going back and reading more to get an idea of the personality I do like a little humor but also like to hear a little about what she likes and dislikes. I am a pleaser by nature so if she doesn't seem to enjoy things I enjoy or interests that I have interests in then I probably wont have a good visit.

I was kinda just talking about the weekly ad in general not her whole website info
