I have a question for those on this board, hobbyists and providers alike.  Have you ever noticed different providers ads and posts who use substantially the same language in their ads?  What do you think about this?

I'm being a bit vague here because I don't want this to be seen as an attack on anyone (and I don't want to be moderated - again).  However, I've seen well-reviewed providers using ads or posts of which 50% or more of the language is EXACTLY the same between them.  I'm not sure what to make of this - on the one hand, they have good reviews, but on the other, the ads are too similar to be a coincidence.

I had originally included the links showing these similarities, but I was told that this was just being negative, so I'm trying to frame this in a more positive light.  I'd love everyone's thoughts on this.

I'm sure is due to the ladies working for the same agencies. Other ladies, even though they are independent, may use the same booking agent, who probably writes the ads.

Do some of the ladies copy other ladies' ads? Probably, but we don't need to go there. It won't accomplish anything.

If I schedule a dinner date or an overnight with one of these lovely ladies, then my last concern is the format of her ad or who may have written it.

If the lady shows up and has a great attitude, delivers as promised, and gives me a memorable evening – and does so at a fair price for her time and companionship -  then our contract with each other is complete, and I’m happy.  

This endeavor (e.g. "hobby") is all about value and experiences, and ladies who deliver those memorable get-togethers will be successful regardless of their ad copy.  And, in that case, the ad copy is unimportant to me - I have more urgent things to worry about.

Just my 2 cents.

Well, I do have a signature ad copy that I use to "connect the dots" for clients. By most accounts, I have a strong and quality brand and, rather than just writing "Joey" all over the ad, I use my signature ad copy. Also, I tend to work with the same types of ladies (personality-wise), so it's also not necessarliy just fluff.

I agree.  Well stated.  

Peace...

After having had absolutely wonderful times with Hillary & Vicky (and having them end up #1 and #3 on my ATF list), I have to say that there is definitely value for me in the "brand" -- to the point where some of the other girls with the same "brand" of ad are already on my TDL for when I get back to the Bay Area. Although how in the heck I'm going to fit that all in for one trip (love to meet new women, but gotta see Hillary again for sure) is one sweet dilemma!

So, are you saying you are more likely to see someone new who is affiliated with this "brand" by virtue of being affiliated with the "brand"?

Peace...

I'd probably be retired already. It gets "borrowed" by everyone from the low end to the higher end competing groups, plus girls who I kicked off my roster who try to cling to the image of still being associated with me. If there was some negative, they probably wouldn't do that.

True, however there are many guys who are opposed to mere idea of being affiliated with an agency of some kind, regardless of the rep it has.  

I guess it all depends on the perspective.  

Peace...

True, some don't want to go thru an intermediary, but I'm also accountable to both sides. Many of the ladies I chat with hate 4AM drunk inquiries or the prior client who starts callign everyday to just chat. Some of the women want a bit of a firewall between them and the client community.

To the good gus out there, I assist. To the others I prevent. If my presense loses a few but prevents any of the others, it's considered a worthwhile exchange. Afterall, it only takes one bad encouter to sour a girl on the biz forever.
