He said no google voice numbers..
I am wondering why do people request such thing? I don't wanna give you my actual number.  
What is the purpose of this type of request?  

I'm not sure everyone is tech savvy in how to have a secondary link that the wife, etc, is not privy to.  So they are probably directing you to the one they know how to use.  Just a guess.

I'd say he's either paranoid, up to no good, or concerned about someone looking at his text history.  Possibly all of the above.

The reason is I'm work a ton so I'm generally setting up my shenanigans while I'm at work.  I'm not an office chef so I'm always around staff and sensitive calls can be problematic.

But I will say lately I have just been using email or pm's on p411 or ter and not having a hobby phone or giving out my personal phone number.  
          It s ok to say you aren't comfortable and the last thing I want to do is try talking someone into something this intimate if they aren't comfortable. I have certain things that make me comfortable and really don't compromise on them and wouldn't expect anything different from you. But to me it's not about me paying you and dictating the rules. If I am not comfortable giving out my real name or phone number and you require it I might ask if my p411 oks are enough but if not I just move on. I guess I feel like asking politely isn't the evil sin it sometimes is considered. But also like I said I respect your right to do what ever you need to to be comfortable.  
             My point is it's not personal in some cases or an issue with trying to pull one over on you. If I have six or seven very well respected providers I use as a reference and have Oks from and that's all I am willing to provide I would ask that my choice be respected too.

 Guys who start dictating how it's gonna be right off the bat are a big red flag for me.    
   
 Just tell him you only use Google voice and if that's not okay with him then you won't be able to meet.  
   
   
   
 Can you believe it? Clients thinking that because THEY'RE paying that they get to have it their way?  The nerve!  LOL.

I stop talking and don't even bother. I keep things simple and non stressful. But I was wondering why people don't want google voice numbers. Most of the people I know for a while. Use google voice for hobbling. It's private and it doesn't affect the other person.

Everyone has their personal preference. Nothing wrong with that. Ure in a business thats tricky.  

I'll never push anyone to give me more info than he's comfortable giving but my requirements are non-negotiable.

I really wouldn't understand why he would require u to text him from regular phone line. I was trying to say that some guys will just be flat out strange in some of their demands. Someone who make demands that go beyond the exposure I'm willing to permit, I won't meet. Simple.

tech-challenged, like me.  I don't even know what "google voice" is.  I have had a dedicated hobby phone for eight years and it serves me well.  If a provider would make it too difficult for me to contact her, then I would simply move on.  I think you have to remember that you are probably younger than most of your clients, so being from a different generation, sometimes we're slow to get on board with new fangled inventions.  At least I am.

You are the product, and they attempt to track everything thing you do when you use their services.  I would never trust any of their services from a privacy perspective. Maybe that is the reason.  I would never use Gmail for example as a hobby e mail address.  They have no issue in using technology to scan and read those emails.  

even when they do it the provider's way still are not guaranteed anything. Or as someone or her sister might say ...

i don't see what's the deal with someone won't see a client because they are using google voice or vice versa...

He wants to convince you "it's the right thing to do - you must please me by trusting me with your real number, so I can find you." That's a sure sign of a predator, a user, and an abuser - manipulator - stalker type - name and business slanderer - blackmailer - extorter.

it goes straight to your phone like a real text, and you do not have to have anything different from your normal texting service to do google voice.  

I would terminate all communication with him immediately.

on how to stay as safe as possible. LISTEN!. Whether you're new to the business or a veteran of the wars,
there's nothing as important as your safety. I had a long conversation just an hour ago with a screener for,  
IMHO, one of Boston's premiere agencies, and half of our time was spent discussing NUT JOBS.  

Not exactly hard to do.

I don't have Google voice. I hate text and prefer E Mail. Most of the girls know that the older guys do things the old fashioned way. I do have a hobby phone.

Something I've read is one of the best ways not to attract these people, or be affected/not even consider is to

it also happens to guys ... they can be manipulated emotionally
and financially. But to keep it in perspective, any threat of physical harm is much more real on the woman's end.  

I was just talking from the perspective of a female provider and/or even a female in general seeking out a male.

it's no worse than a burner phone.  
I use google voice for all my trysts. It allows me to use Android Hangouts for texting and shit.  
I also like texting from google voice website on my computer.
