But the real question is

why does he put an H at the end of every (or almost every) subject line?

A touring provider posted on Tryst that she would be in my area the week after next. There were no screening requirements or rates in the ad, only an email address and a phone number for texting inquiries. It also said no texting pass, burners, etc. I wrote a polite email stating that I’d like to see her and asked for her rates and screening requirements. After 36 hours, I received a reply telling me to text inquiries to a number different from the one in the ad. So, I send a polite text from my texting app explaining that I can’t use my real# because my spouse and I are on the same account. But, I give my real number for screening purposes. I also specify the date, time, and duration of an appointment I’d like to make. So, 48 hours later, no answer.  

Why bother advertising if you aren’t going to respond to inquiries?  Business must be really good for her, because she obviously doesn’t care about any kind of customer care.  

I reached out to someone else and inside of 4 hours and 3 emails set a date. That’s how it’s done.

I've had that happen a few times - reached out on P411 and even though I saw that they had read my PM I never got a response.

 
That situation is better than having a scheduled date and then getting the runaround. I had that happen twice.

Lisa Guzman (Miss TER last year): had a date in Tyson's Corner, VA confirmed date and time. Assistant told me to text Lisa directly the day before to confirm and get location. I did that and she responded with a DC hotel address. I told her it was Tyson's, not DC. She said okay she would be there and let me know. Next morning when it was close to the time I had to leave I texted her again and once again she gave me the DC address, which I couldn't do. Completely blew off a scheduled appointment - I guess it was worth it to her since she must have had more business in DC. Couldn't even get the courtesy of an explanation from her or her assistant about what happened. I was planning on seeing her whenever she came to town on tour - now I never will.

Sarah Love - had a date/time. She texted me the day before and asked if I could move the time back 30 minutes. I told her that time I could not as I was on a tight schedule. No response from her. Later on I texted her again and said "I take it your lack of response means I'm not seeing you tomorrow?" - she never responded. What gets me is that I'd seen her a few times before and even sent her some money when she was diagnosed with cancer and couldn't work. That's some thank you. I will never see her again.

Why would you disclose to a provider you have not yet met that you are married, and then tell her you don't have a burner phone?  The first mistake provides fodder for blackmail someday, and the second one makes you look like a newbie looking for your first session.   Texting is the way of the business these days, so first thing, get a burner phone that your wife doesn't know about, and keep it in a place she will never look.  I'm not married, but a married friend of mine keeps his burner phone in his car under the spare tire in the truck.  He's never been busted by his wife.

The ad said no apps or burners.

display your number to the recipient, most working girls don't know how to tell if it's a burner beyond the number being blocked.  Been using one in this biz for 15 years, and never had a provider refuse me because of the phone I was using.  

Sure about that? I can think of three times in just the past year. One is a SW who I saw, but then changed her policy... that took me a while to figure out. Another one, who plays cat and mouse with me to this day, is still refusing to see me unless I call from a carrier unblocked. And the other I've spoken to because she will answer the phone... to politely ask you to call her from your carrier. And I'm sure it's happened many times before, usually just appearing as an unreturned enquiry.

be traced to your real life ID, why block the number?  Blocking is a phone setting, not a carrier setting, unless there is something new I don't know about.  

since my iPhone downloaded the most recent upgrade it tags some incoming phone calls as "Possible Spam." I don't know how it does this but perhaps this is what's happening. There are also Aps that do a version of this.

the best feature on an iPhone, IMO.  Mine identifies many calls as either "telamarketer" or "Spam risk."  If I get either of these message twice from the same number, and they don't leave a voicemail, I block the number so they can't keep robo-dialing me.

 
If you go into your settings, that is where you can choose to display your number or not when you are dialing someone.  Guys that are used to doing this for other reasons will contact providers sometimes while having their numbers blocked without realizing that's why they don't get a response.   That's why provider ads often state that they will ignore blocked numbers.

I can't say for sure what you're talking about, but maybe: Blocking is phone setting, yes. Typically, calling unblocked from a personal phone on a carrier will have your name and number. That combo gets the girl to a wealth of info for verification purposes.
 
Calling unblocked from a burner gets her nothing! (Unless you were foolish enough to register it in your name and put it on a plan... I can't help you there.)

be a usage plan.  Pay the minute charges and reload the phone when it gets low.  No ID required. It's not the cheapest way to go, but it's the most anonymous.

I see what's going on here.

There are phone apps that act like a separate phone. I believe this is what escorts mean when they say "no burners." I think escorts don't like these because they are untraceable. (They actually are, but that's a different story.)

If you have a separate, physical "burner" phone an escort will not know.

So, when an escort says no "burner" phones, she is referring to the phone app.

This is my take. Feel free to disagree!

Your weird obsession with constantly posting about your fear of being blackmailed is just that....super weird. It is 2023. There are super fast and lucrative ways to hustle and scam, old fashioned blackmail is not one of them.   And no, his actions do not make him look like a "newbie", it makes him look and act like a normal human interacting with other humans. Providers expect the majority of our clients to be married or in a relationship or have children (just like us!!) so it is not something we really care about or give it a second thought. I personally do not text, I only communicate via email (or direct message via twitter, TER, or P411) so I am not sure the need to go through all the hassle and money of getting a "burner" phone and trying to hide it, but your choice.  
As to why the gal did not respond? If she is traveling, depending on how long she was in an area she may have filled all her slots, worked, and moved on. This is our job. We are not trying to date you are start a relationship with you. Even if she was fully booked yes, she should have advised of this, which is good customer service. The fact also that she did not request any screening info or deposit does also sound fishy. Those are the hallmarks of a sting by our boys in blue, so this may have been a blessing in disguise.

YOUR opinion from your own perspective regardless of the limits of your own experience.  It may seem weird to you, but there have been many customers through the years that have posted here about extortion attempts.  I have seen over 1000 different providers over the years, and I will agree that SOME have the same opinions you have and would not consider trying to extort a customer, but I have also seen my share of BSC providers that will take any opportunity to exploit information from a paying customer to generate more cash flow.  While you think "old fashioned blackmail" is dead, why not do a search?  I did, and the words "blackmail" and "extortion" combine to show up over 1000 times on this board alone.  If you check regional boards and the Kgirl board, you will find more.  

 
Granted, rural areas like Wisconsin don't have a high percentage of BSC providers, so you may not hear much blackmail and extortion out in the sticks, but in large urban areas, crimes like this are always afoot.  

 
I'm single, so I don't need to hide my burner phone, but I still prefer to use one for an extra layer of anonymity.  I'm not vulnerable to blackmail personally, but I would lose business if my activities in P4P went public, so I will always be on the lookout for blackmailing providers.  Go ahead and say there is no such thing, but maybe you want to read some of the stories first that have been posted here.

Thank you so much sir for enlightening me on the ways of the world. Without your weekly, daily, hourly, even minutely TER posts how would anyone, including little ol me, possibly navigate this profession, or life in general? I am honored that you would even take the time to comment. Your knowledge and commitment to educating us is beyond reproach. I salute you. Thank you again for all you do.

if I don't Conan will.  You DO KNOW that minutely means something very small and is not a unit of time, right?  It doesn't appear so.  

 
Since you sucked me into responding anyway with your grammatical error, do you see the irony in you eschewing my advice when not too long ago, YOU were giving advice on how customers should behave who are hobbying in the Bahamas when you have never worked there?  Things are not always the same in the rest of the world as they are in Cheese-ville.  

Honestly, he shrinks from reading her posts and did not read this one. He says it was an egregious error.

Your comments are absolutely hilarious. Serious question: how much time a day are you spending on here? Like maybe go outside and go for a walk?

I'm doing throughout the day, I will log on to see what's going on that's new since the last time.  It's usually ten or fifteen minutes at a time four or five times a day.  It seems like more because it's spread out over the day, unlike many here who get on at night after work and stay continuously for two or three hours.  When they do that, there is more reading to do, because more has changed since the last time they logged in.  I exercise at the gym an average of two hours a day.  I don't really need to take a walk, but I enjoy a hike, the steeper, the better, but thank you for your concern for my health.  

There simply isn't remotely enough new content on this moribund site to require anybody to spend that much time here to read everything new. For example, I just got on after about 8 hours away and found only four new posts on this entire board. It took me less than ten minutes to glance at them. Now I'll check a few other boards but it will take less than a half hour to do it. Then I'll be gone for several hours before checking again.
So, as usual, you are exaggerating.
If you want people to take you seriously, try to do less of it.

there are several guys here that do that.  Some are my stalkers, but there are others who will log on, write a review, then post on multiple boards.  If you are only checking THIS board, then you probably won't notice it, but all posts are time-stamped.  There are also many who read and post on multiple regional boards, and the time they spend reading is not always reflected unless they also post.  There are times during the day when I have noticed the same thing as you, that there were "only four new posts on this entire board," but then there were other boards with more posts.  You can easily spend an hour here just reading what Impposter posts.  Lol   There are some guys on the Kgirl board who write longer posts than him.   After P &R went down, where do you think all of the guys who camped out most of the day went?  

 
So as usual, the scope of what YOU do here is not reflective of what everyone else does, so your claim of exaggeration is based solely on your own limited experience.  

Why in the world would you assume I only read this board? In fact, I regularly check more than 20 boards here. But since only a few are active, that doesn't take very long, as I said.
And don't try rebutting me by pointing out you said "IF (my emphasis) you are only checking THIS board." Because you went on to say, "So as usual, the scope of what YOU do here is not reflective of what everyone else does" and I have "limited experience."
Not to mention that, while its true imp is quite erudite, the only way it takes more than a few minutes to read what he posts is if you have problems with English comprehension. Which, of course, YOU are known for.
Given that you're constantly on the K-Girl Board attacking and being attacked I can see why you think others spend as much time here as you do. But I guess it takes you lots of time to check time codes.

Coeur is too busy tracking all the people that are "stalking" him and "blackmailing" him. Who knows, it might be me!!! lol  

I have a typewriter, a rotary phone, newspaper clippings, AND binoculars buddy, and I KNOW how to use them!!!!!

you as one of my stalkers.  Do you realize those things are archaic, just like the word, minutely (min-nit-ly)?  I'm not minutely (my-noot-ly) concerned.   Lol

You DO KNOW that minutely means something very small and is not a unit of time, right?  It doesn't appear so.
You have made a bigly mistake:
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/minutely
minutely in American English (MIN-nit-lee, not my-NOOT-lee)
adjective
1.  occurring at intervals of a minute
2.  occurring very often or continually
adverb
3.  every minute
4.  often or continually
.
Even then, in context and in "friendly" conversation, she wrote:
"Without your weekLY, daiLY, hourLY, even minuteLY TER posts ..." to emphasize a time series. She could have added "secondLY" as a finer interval. "Secondly" is almost always used in ordinal counting and rarely, if ever, when describing *time* EXCEPT in friendly conversation where its meaning would be obvious and could be used to make a point.
.
I'll just let the dictionary make my point.

was invented by the same guy they named the "tom Collins" drink after.  He was a drunk.  What does the ultimate authority, Webster, the most trusted dictionary, have to say about it?  It says that using it as an adverb is a unit of time.  It says an archaic usage is as an adjective to say "minute by minute".  You do understand that archaic means "antiquated", right?  But maybe she is much older than we thought?  Lol

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." - Shakespeare
.
The ULTIMATE authority? How about the Oxford English Dictionary (OED):
http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/3091/weekly-daily-hourly-minutely  
Her meaning was abundantly clear from the definition and the context.
.
You do understand that archaic does NOT mean "not to be used, forever more."  
.
Neither Collins, American Heritage, dictionary.com, nor Random House defines MIN-nit-lee as archaic.

I can see where those of you who are professional in the operation of your business do not understand how bad some providers can be.
It also goes on the other side as I can not figure out how many time wasters and asshats out there that tend to bring out the worst in providers.
I know some providers well enough to understand the time wasting, last minute cancellations , unclean arrivals and disrespect  by some but also know of many clients with hundreds of
Trysts who may have never committed the above.  
Myself have missed one appointment and worked out a satisfactory arrangement and canceled
One other appointment  when exposed to Covid.  
Have run out of fingers and toes a couple of time counting the other way.

Why are guys giving out there real numbers ?  Sounds very dangerous to me, or am I missing something ?  

A ph less than 7 is acidic while a ph greater than 7 is akaline:

That should be pH, not ph.

The pH of your ph should be around 7.

I used to give out my real number all the time that also contains my real name. The only reason I stopped was b/c it was getting too hard to keep up with calling/texting/emailing so I asked everyone to just use email. Guess what happened? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, I was able to keep up with messages and appointments better, so that was good thing!!  I hate to break it to you guys, but we are all small minnows in a giant sea. No one gives two shits about you or me, and that is a good thing.

“Ghosting” appears to be an acceptable way to communicate for some ppl.
They got spooked and you were ghosted.
It’s just easier for them than telling you the real reason why they don’t want to date you.

no screening requirement or rates advertised are already red flags for me.  No need to proceed further.
