Could turn them off. Some probably thought, “What a cheap ass”.
But that’s me so..,🤷🏻‍♂️

I just glanced at your 2 prior TER reviews. In my experience if a provider read those reviews she likely wouldn't see you. Ladies a frequently wary of guys who call providers "hooker" and who give low scores. I'm in no way suggesting that you not post honest reviews, but when your entire review history is negative and condescending it will likely turn ladies off.
.
Just my $0.02.

A few things popped out for me:
* Smacks of not bothering to do research. If you saw her review, you saw her profile which should have her rates. Also you should know whether you want to see her or not before you contact her. Stating your expectations for her behavior could be insulting to her.
* No need to tell her what a busy guy you are in this first text. Just offer a couple of options, if those don’t work you can suggest others.
* Don’t give your demands for payment option here.  If you don’t already know from your research, and she doesn’t tell you her options, then you can ask about it.  
* Don’t say how jumpy you are, that would scare me away if I were the provider.

Never ask for a 30 minute date to a class provider. Once you meet her you can feel out that option.  
Any providers I care to see are going to see a 30 minute request as a big red flag. If your time is that tight , pay for a hour  
but explain you need to hurry things along.  

What Am I Doing Wrong?

Hello @ Rockville939 ,
You  seem  like  a  very  kind,  respectful  and  worthy  gentleman.  

My  first  thought  is  you  may  be  contacting  Providers  whom  all  require  
"deposits".  

Thus,  upon  indicating  your  modus  operandi  for  donations,  they're  just
ignoring  you.  
{ In  my  personal  opinion,  that  behavior  is  rather  discourteous.
    Since  this  business  is  "customer~service~orientated",  I  attempt  to  
    reply  to  anyone  whom  contacts  me  unless  their  message  is  just
    plain  rude,  vulgar  or  senseless. }

 
However  just  a  few  ideas  to  ponder....

 
●  Perhaps  you  should  email  rather  than  text  if  possible.
     

●  It  appears  your  text  is  "TMI"  for  the  persons  you're  attempting  to  make  
         a  connection  with;
         "KISS"  "Keep  It  Simply  Short"

 
●  Finally,  I'm  quoting  you  here:  
         "I  am  a  60  years  old  professional  and  interested  in  very  basic  quality  service."

          Technically,  we  as  "Providers"  do  not  offer  "services",  however  we  are  
          compensated  for  our  "time".    
   
          I  know  semantics  shouldn't  matter,  ...  "Tomato",   "el tomate",   "la tomatera",  or  
          "pomodoro".....    
           However,  the  implication  of  "services",  may  be  a  "LE"  red  flag  to  said  Companions.
     

 
Please  note  also,  my  reply  to  Mr. :
@ Steve_Trevor,  as  he's  posed  some  accurate  observations.

"I'm  in  total  agreement  with  your  reply.
Especially  the  last  point  referring  to  "being  jumpy"...
A  huge  pause  for  caution."

Warmly,
Angelina  Jones

Appointment

Thank you for your post. Honestly as a provider I would say if you are reaching out to multiple gals the first thing you are going to need to do is personalize the message to each one to show you have at least done some research. Most legitimate providers are going to have a website with at least some directions as to how to request an appointment. Unless they specifically have "ask for rates" everywhere you should be able to find their rate request. I am on here (TER) P411, and my website all have my rates listed, so when I get this request it is a bit of an annoyance as my rates are everywhere. Most gals (including myself) do not like to discuss $$ with a potential client. I ask gents put the money in an envelope and leave it out in open sight. I personally do not do deposits, some do. But do this with caution, and make sure if you send a deposit it is a legitimate provider. If they ask for a deposit and you do not wish to give one move on. I do require screening info (unless you are on P411, I will accept this as well). If a provider will only see you with screening or P411 info and you do not send any of this they *may* request it, or your message might get deleted. We get lots of message requests and this may be perceived as a time waster.  
You said that you can only do mornings or early afternoon, but what about the providers you contacted? I do appointments between 10 am and 9 pm, but during the summer I only work about 1 week a month. Some providers may have another job or need to get a babysitter for an appointment, so you might be available, but the provider may not.  
Example if sent to me:  
Hi Scarlet, this is (XYZ) and I am interested in an appointment. Per your schedule I see you are available between 10 am and 9 pm, I would like to book something next week between 10 am and 1 pm for either one hour or 30 min. Here is my screening info (attached to message) or my P411 ID is (XYZ).  I am 60 years old. (You can include some general personal info, but we do NOT care about the size of your member, how fit you are, or how good looking you are.)  
If you have any other questions let me know, be safe and have fun!  

1.  Your  text is waaaay too long.  Even if it was in an email it would be too long.  They probably looked at you as a time  
     waster.
2.  HHR visit makes them think you are a cheapo, even though that may be all the time you can spare away from work.
3.  If you found her review on TER, you should have seen her rates in her profile.  You don't ask what her rates are if  
     they're not listed in her ad.  You ask her if the rates listed in her TER profile are accurate.
4.  We all expect "safety, professionalism and discretion from a provider."  It goes without saying...so you shouldn't have  
     said it.
5.  You have to ask for a specific day and time, not "mornings or early afternoons."  
6.  Never mention "cash."  It could be construed as an offer to to exchange money for sex.  And there's no need to  
     mention it in a first contact.  Wait until you're screened and approved.  And don't mention it first.  If she asks for a  
     deposit, politely decline and move on.

When you contact a provider you should be ready to book.  Providers don't want to text/email back and forth.  It takes up too much of their time and they'll label you a "time waster."

very cringe.

I wouldn't see you lol

My 2 cents:

:  Too long in a text message for a first attempt
:  Make it brief

"Hello XXX
My name is YYY
Are you available on 6/30/2023

(wait for response)

Your doing everything wrong.

No offense, but I read your reviews & you do appear to be cheap, and very low scoring. Everything you request sounds demanding, like your a difficult date. Kiss=keep it super simple. I think it’s better to have a specific date & time available for the provider. Be kind. Best of luck to you, sir. Happy hobbying.

Everyone is bashing this guy for wanting 'a half hour' but he never says that.  When he says '1 HR or HHR' I'm sure he means one hour or one and a half hours.

I guess I could be wrong though...

First of all, If those providers have not responded back then move on to other providers. I am available for "CAR SERVICE" as well as Hotel/Motel and Casinos in Atlantic City, NJ for a nice price. (609) 431-1393.

nothing you are doing wrong that hasn't already been mentioned here, so you have your list of what to work on.  

Try the website first.

So I would suggest your first thing you do is go to their website. A lot of the questions you are asking will not be answered in email and you will find them on their website. Once on the website you should fill out the screening form and wait for a response.

Still very wordy in his write up…
