I spotted an ad on my regional board picturing a lady that made my jaw drop several inches. I clicked too her profile and EVERYTHING was there I WANTED to see EXCEPT for a donation schedule that would gag a maggot. But as fetching as she was and with a birthday coming up I decided to swallow my usual pragmatic penurious pride and reach out to her in an e-mail. A short time later I received an auto-response from her e-mail address. 3/4 way down her loquacious and information heavy auto-response I read that a 30% deposit is required. I don't play the "deposit" game so I simply wrote off any further notions of booking with the provider.  
Several hours later I get an e-mail from some "Apres Vous" saying "Your all set - we have heard back from your references. Molly requests that you go to her website to make your deposit for your date with her."  

You're gaining quite the reputation for being a crybaby. Just chill, man.

I wasn't very active for several years and upon my getting back into the pool I find an unexpected power shift from TER's initial years.

AND if you are in some way being "stingy" with your ATFs: booking shorter sessions, never tipping, remaining grand-fathered in at really old rates, staying way over OTC... then karmically THAT IS ON YOU.

before some third party booker powers up their endoscope, then instructs you to send in your deposit?  

God forbid ladies make their own rules!

... and I can only speculate on his "power shift" issue.

Maybe I have been inhaling the ether, but isn't that quote YOU saying that YOU were worried that your existing lady friends might be resentful that you were even, as you put it, "expressing interest" and "politely soliciting" a lady with "a donation schedule that would gag a maggot?"

If you're going to ask for and look at my verification site profiles for OKs, that's one thing. If you're going to individually contact references, that's another. If the latter, then you should clearly state it in your screening requirements, because otherwise I didn't tacitly give you permission to do anything other than look at my OKs.

when they share a PO board with vindictive, impugning mercenaries like yourself.

It appears that Apres Vous jumped the gun on screening you but then that's what agencies do. The faster they screen you, the faster they bring in the bucks. Rather than get all hot and bothered, you should simply notify Apres Vous that you're not interested in seeing this provider because of her deposit requirement and no harm is done. They're a reputable agency, they were trying to grease the skids even though you didn't give them explicit permission to do so. Chalk it up to experience and read the provider's web site before contacting her next time. I'm sure the 30% deposit is clearly listed on her page and had you seen it, you would never have bothered contacting her in the first place.

Had homeboy bothered to do the proper research, he would have known all of that from the jump.

On August 9th I posted my amazed dissatisfaction with an incompetent booker who took an unseemly and unjustified attitude with me. NOW I’m supposed to cheerfully allow any old voyeuristic booking cartel to look up my ass, contact former associates, and then expect a $400 deposit for a provider who doesn’t have the common courtesy to personally answer an e-mail. And when I question these incompetents and impersonal tactics I’m impugned and called a “cry baby”.

should read like a contract with a cable TV company.

Why you P4P...  
I dont see how any woman in her right mind would spend time with you for free..  

Reading the whole contact information is part of that. You fucked up. Now start reading what your agreeing to. Honesty you created this mess by not doing your homework. Learn from this and move on.

I think this might of been what they called Manginas in the 1930's? Lol.

...using her handle, giving the impression that she wrote it and she would be receiving the responses.

The "Welcome" section of her personal website does say that she uses Après Vous as her personal assistant and lists their phone no. and email addy.  However, her TER profile does not list a phone no. and the email addy is part of Molly's personal website.

RRO's confusion is understandable.  I would also be surprised if I received a reply from a third party after I was responding to an ad written by a provider whose profile said "Independent."

Just last week you posted about your bad experience with assistants and swore off contacting any providers who use assistants. Yet Molly's ad (yes the one you drooled over, and posted a reply under) clearly states that she uses bookers and requires a deposit! Try reading the ad before you contact someone!  

Changing your attitude seems impossible, because then you wouldn't be you, right? Try just doing enough research before bothering a provider. Who knows? Her conditions might be too much of a strain on you. BTW, the lady in question...too bad you couldn't come up with the deposit. Lol

Besides, isn't making rules for yourself as imposing as just living by everybody else's rules

Girls screen in lots of different ways at many different levels of skill.  My reviews are an open book and if someone wants to screen by contacting one of them I could care less.  For example, what if she knows one of my prior dates personally?  I don't require she get permission from me to contact her.
Hell, for all I know she's savvy enough to figure out my real name.  Do I encourage that?  No.  But there isn't much I can do about it.
As for bookers, some women use them and some don't.  Same with screeners. Again,  I could care less.  If she has a good review history or guys I know vouch for her, I'm OK with that.
Remember, too, that thorough screening doesn't just protect the woman, it protect the monger as well.

Probably that your second sentence should read "I couldn't care less"    

"I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" are synonymous.  It's called slang and has nothing to do with grammar.  Get with the program.
By the way, it's "Marques de Paiva," not "Marquis."
Do get back to us when you can spell your own name right.

Are you just now learning that not all hookers share the same business practices? Is this really worth losing your shit over? Say no thanks and move on already.  

You may certainly defend your use of  "I could care less" as slang, but it is grammatically incorrect unless you actually meant you really could care less, but I presume you meant  "you couldn't care less".  

problems with hookers, bookers, screeners, all sorts of problems with all sorts of people. I am sorry, but I see AT LEAST a couple of different women every single week and I have been doing so for several years now and I haven't had a tenth of the problems that you seem to be having.  Have you ever considered looking inward for the source of your problems?

TT gave you great advice, "just chill, man" lol

Sorry you mistook my gentle teasing for being "sensitive."  I can assure you I am as intensive as ever.  I just googled the name and the coffee company came up and, being lazy, didn't go any further.  So I hope I haven't insulted your antecedents.  Oh, well, honestly I don't care that much, LOL!
As for the slang, I'd say you're the one who needs to find his sense of humor.  I believe virtually the entire world uses those phrases interchangeably.
But Conan asked me to thank you for your vigilance.
Peace!

With the old "power shift" pablum. Seriously, for the guys who cry about this so called power shift, do this en mass, email TER and ask them to remove all the ladies from the discussion boards who don't "play nice" (kiss hobbyist ass). Then all the  wiener wankers can compare dick size, come loads and how aggressive, domineering real men are because it is in their DNA.

Don't you get paid for your job? You are possibly one of those tricks who thinks paying for pussy is beneath you but still has to, so then your only recourse to the terrible ladies who dare charge to fuck is that you call them mercenary. No you fool, it's commerce.

When are you leaving?

and yes our reigning threAD doesn't need any help from us.

but back to the OP, just what did he expect from this woman after reading her ad? Of course that is making the HUGE assumption that he actually read her ad. Sorry RRO, but this one is all on you. I think I figured out WHY you seem to have so many problems with hookers/bookers et al. If you would just read their ad/s before contacting them, you could save yourself a lot of grief by simply culling out the ones like Molly.

but that doesn't change the fact that the OP should have known better. After she is the reigning threAD queen of all TER, and almost everyone knows about her, especially a guy who spends as much time on TER as the OP.

Please don't confuse our blaming the OP for bringing this on himself as in any way trying to defend the provider in question. There is no defending her IMO, but most of us with any sense wouldn't be contacting her in the first place.

If the OP had simply read her ad, he would have saved himself all this grief, She was recently in my hometown, I briefly glanced at her ad, a dozen different red flags jumped out at me and I wasted perhaps 10-15 seconds of my time. That's why I am laughing at the OP, while the OP is pulling out his hair over this. The OP is a friend of mine, and I don't want to call him stupid, but...........

Damn what's up your ass today?

But this one is all on the OP! I won't call him stupid either, but how about "not too smart."

She knows scoed wears the mangina badge proudly. She knows that scoed is not easily insulted.
She was simply pointing out that RR was likely to try to come back with a silly insult, rather than a logical argument. :

I was just poking a bit of fun at my friend Scoed, and it is true that I have called him much, much worse than a Pantywaist.

and the thought of a man of Scoed girth being called a pantywaist in the first place opens up the possibilities of a thousand other jokes on the subject, but although I rarely pass up low hanging fruit , I think i'll skip this one.

and yes, RRO does tend to get rather worked up about these things, but in this case he really only has himself to blame.

And, after all this french, I need to fuck a hot chick today.  Oh yeah, I'm going to and I hope you do too!!!  

Nothing at all...just the way I prefer it!

They've been around a long time.  I've had one of my best sessions from apres boys.

...Her profile says she's "independent" even though she's listed on the agency's website as one of their girls.  She has no phone contact no. in her profile and has a personal email address.  However, on Twitter she says her personal emails are automatically being forwarded to the agency's email address.

She also complains on Twitter that she wants to be listed as "independent" in her TER profile and TER had her listed as "agency."  Why is she trying so hard to look like she's independent?  That's why the OP was surprised that he got a response from an agency.

I admit my folly Gambler. I was bleary-eyed with morning wood. Possibly a second cup of coffee would have served me well.  
As I stated elsewhere In this thread; from now on I'm simply passing on any ad/provider where the contact protocols resemble the service contract with a cable TV provider.

Shit. He may have an assistant. But hookers - nah, they're not allowed to have assistants. Hmmm...

It is the same as a client reading only a lady's BEST review, while ignoring the ones filled with complaints.

I'd be weirded out too, even if it's a familiar agency.  

You need to chill when someone is doing well. It's so stupid. (And no, I'm not currently writing any ads for anyone. But I enjoyed writing them for her when I did! She was always nice to me.)

Because P411 doesn't let you QUALIFY an "ok," some ladies  will request a more personal, specific, nuanced reference.

Agree on P411 (and that's exactly how they got infiltrated in Denver), but Date-Check *does* let you qualify a reference, which is one of the reasons I use them over P411.

...or--meaning the same thing--DEBONING a chicken. If you spent more time in the barn and less in the library, you'd know that. Deboning a librarian is not at all a nice thing for a Marquis to do. Whereas BONING a librarian is so socially acceptable that it's boring. If she's a screamer, though, you'll get kicked out of the library. I always suggest the barn.

End

Homeboy should have taken note of her spam postings on the boards. That in of itself would have been enough to steer clear of this one.
