Never will..  Its matter of principle.  

If 40+ OK's going back to 2007 on P411 isn't enough to reserve time, then I will move on to the next special lady.

I will send a deposit to a lady that has a lengthy and pristine reputation with them. I don't send deposits to women who have not yet established any history in this regard. I also will not pay more than 25%, as that is the max number I feel comfortable with.  
These rules have served me well as they allow me to see fantastic, upscale, beautiful women that I wouldn't get a chance to see if I had a rigid rule against sending them. It works for me, but I do understand and respect differing views on the topic.

That’s a good approach.

Go to the next ad if you don't want to do a deposit. It will cut down on your heartburn from the scammers.  There is an old saying "Leave no trace".  Best thing to do, cash only. No cashapp.   There is a guy who got busted by the Feds because he used cashapp. The provider got busted in an outcall sting, she gave up his information to stay out of trouble. Now he is Federal prison for 18 months.

I do require a Deposit & I do not do Screening, Only because once we talk through text or actually talk and If I get a bad feeling about the hobbyist, then I will say "FORGET IT !!! I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOU (The Hobbyist) !!!"  And that's it. There would not be any negotiation on it.  

Hey, aren't you the same lady that says you need to work to save for possible bail money?

It works well for me. I only see real gentleman who respect & appreciate my time. As a single Mom I can not risk wasting my time ever. I have 0 out of pocket expenses. In the real World deposits are normal, so this adult entertainment industry is no different. To those who won’t their are many who will. I’m legit & have never scammed anyone. I am a professional woman of leisure.

Among the many professionals who do NOT require a deposit at doctors, lawyers, accountants, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and on and on.
I respect your right to ask for a deposit but please don't distort reality to justify it.

The same here. I have 39 and a solid reputation for compensating and showing up.

No deposit.  under no circumstances.  I will move on to someone else.  I am well established on P411 with plenty of references.  

I would consider a deposit to a provider who has been reviewed a ton, as I doubt they are in the scamming business.  The problem is I only do cash, so that ends that conversation.

There's more than a few of those vocations listed where large sums of money are exchanged prior to any work being done...just sayin!

1) Yes, some lawyers ask for a "retainer" but that's rare and happens only when the case will drag on for a long time. In my experience with lawyers (which is extensive) I can only recall one instance of a retainer being required. Decades ago.
2) Your doctor example is completely false. How is my insurance remotely like pre-paying a doctor? It's just not. Just because I pay for insurance? LMAO. That's like saying my auto insurance is tantamount to pre-paying a deposit at a body shop.
3) Tradeslmen? Sorry, but not in my experience. I paid a contractor some up-front money but it was only so he could buy materials to do the job. In the most recent case he didn't even ask for it; I just volunteered it. Not remotely the same as pre-paying a hooker. For what? So she could get her hair and nails done?
Do better next time.

My lawyers & Doctors require deposits, so do tattoo arts, and microblading. I had to supply a deposit for my breast enhancement. I had to pay my lawyer prior to consulting. Everyday in the real World professionals require deposits. Your not going to convince me otherwise when I am out living life. Do you research before posting it’s sad your not up to date. Deposits are normal for professionals.

Well, when you need to get your car fixed after an event and your insurance/warranty pays for it... it's very much like you've "prepaid" because in fact, you did.  Actually in this case, YOU'VE paid whether you are going to use the service(s) or not.  Thanks for proving my point there and again with tradesmen (versus a general contractor which would have you actually signing a contract).  You HAVE (your words) paid some up-front money.  For some reason you chose to do this, probably because you really wanted that guy vs someone else OR your project was important so you chose to cough up a little front cash to make sure it got completed.  A professional landscaper who's biggest contribution is talent and labor vs the lawn guy who mows, very comparable to a professional gal who has honed her craft vs what you might pick up on the corner.  Both can get the job done but it's about what your expectations are about the experience.

I have never seen Doctors needing deposits unless you don't have insurance.  Rest of them, I can understand..  

Your car insurance example is nothing like a deposit. Neither is your reply re a landscaper or GC because you're simply paying for a tangible good, not an intangible. It's just not the same. But if you can't see that, I'm sure I won't convince you. I've never paid a deposit for an illegal transaction and never will.

Also stop trying to compare selling sex as a "real" job like those that have been listed.

Never ever send a deposit. Next

Your super ignorant, but let me educate you on your, so called hooker board. Real professional Doctors & Orthodontist’s, which is not covered by insurance because it’s considered cosmetic required monies paid up front. Lame. Hooker 101 pay because your worth it.

Deposits can fuck off. Ridiculous shit

I'll wait. It can be someone else's money in your area.

You have used the possessive "your" when you need to use the contraction "you're," which means "you are." The word "your" means something belonging to you.
But you have the gall to call someone else ignorant.
Then there's the fact you think just because YOU pay a deposit to "Real professional doctors & Orthodontists" that everyone does. I don't know what kind of "professionals" YOU'RE (note correct usage) seeing. But I don't see a single doctor or dentist who requires a deposit. Maybe you don't have medical insurance? I don't even know anyone without insurance. Lame.
Lame is also writing "your worth it" instead of "you're worth it."

to this point sooner.  All of his examples are businesses where you would have legal recourse if they fucked you out of your money/deposit.  When you are paying to get fucked, you WANT to get fucked, but not just out of your money.  You have no place to go for redress if they just take the deposit and don't deliver the services unless you want to give the small claims judge a good laugh.  Lol

...personally, given the choice, sending a small deposit to book a date with a knockout gal you've wanted to see is 100% preferrable for me rather than giving up any/all personal info.  For me it's about limiting risk...nothing more.  I will say spend a great amount of time in research and have a general level of trust for an ESTABLISHED gal.  For some, risking their P411 status works but then again, its one more platform that may enough data on you to ruin your life if hacked or under subpoena.  Maybe some guys have nothing to lose, I'm not one of them.  If I lose $100 or $200 because some gal flaked..oh my, maybe I'll punch myself in the nuts for getting taken on what I'd spend for a round of golf or a cheap night out with the SO for dinner and a movie.  Some gals I will never see because they may require both a deposit and a DNA sample.  I'll survive..

For the dates I usually book (3-6 hrs) I have no problem sending a small deposit... say 10-20%. It's enough to show I have "skin in the game". Anyone asking for more, I will not book.

They might not ask for deposits but they have credit card on file. Ex. when I book an appointment for my lashes or my nails or even the dr they have a card on file in case I don’t show up or cancel they will automatically charge my card.

A reputable provider will not scam for a $200 deposit! Just do your homework. Actually a reputable provider will ask for a deposit because she’s operating her business in a professional way and her time is valuable.  
I’ve never scammed anyone on deposits, I’ve even returned deposits when I’ve had to cancel appointments.  
I’m not saying there aren’t girls that can scam guys, I’m sure there are but someone that like me has been around for years and has a respectable reputation is not going to risk it all for a small deposit.  
Just know who you’re dealing with!

Thanks for getting into the conversation!  I hadn't run across your site or reviews prior to this and damn, If I find myself getting out of cold Minnesota for the warmth of NC, I'll have something else to look forward too!  I do love these TER boards because it draws in the most beautiful women into the conversation!

I get that some providers have been burned by bad clients. It's their perogative to request a deposit, just as it's my choice to politely decline. Same with a provider asking for a picture of me. Nope. You don't ask that of male clients so don't ask that of me.  

Agree. Never paid a deposit, never will. If my 100+ reviews aren’t sufficient then I’ll move on to the next lady on my list.

A lot of providers ask us for pics as well. So don't think they ask you just because you are a lady. If you ever dabble into SB relationships sending pic is the first step. I send pics for potential SBs but never when playing with provider.  

Your last paragraph is what I take away from some providers. It isn't until I tell them that I'm female that the request for a pic comes up. At that point she's lost a potentially lucrative client. But plenty of these providers aren't the sharpest tools in the drawer, now are they?

ALL deposits are ONLY paid after an initial consultation and the buyer would like to proceed with the scope of work.  This ensures that buyer does not back out, leaving the seller holding expenses.  With hookers and agencies, you never really know what you're going to get until you walk through the door, even with the best research available.  The problem with deposits is that the hobbyist have to take a great leap of faith with all the risk on him.  My best guess is that escorts that require deposits are probably overcharging their fee and need to lock in the client before they get buyer's remorse.  Overcharging fee can be applied to the DDG or the dirty rag escorts.  Because a cancellations could mean whether they make rent or not, since their low volume and each client really counts to their bottom line.  But again, this is just a guess for me and deposits are always a hard pass for me.
