I'm sure many hobbyists will agree with me that, in order, here are the 3 criteria I need for me to contact a provider : 1. High review scores. 2. If she looks hot from the pics on her website; specifically, so hot , that I want to fuck the monitor. 3. The personality the provider puts forth on her website. If she has a good sense of conveying herself, is articulate & has a good sense of humor,then I'm hooked. This convinces me that I'll pass the screening test with flying colors & will have a great time seeing her.

OTOH, there are providers who put forth "bad vibes": they come across as lowgrade illiterates, arrogant, flakey, etc. There are some providers whose wording is so jumbled, they sound like they're bipolar or manic depressive.

2 Examples of website personalities that turn me off : 1. those providers who need "passwords" to
join their "clubs" so you can access their pics.
WTF is this ?! The Mickey Mouse club ?! Sweetie, I wanna see your pics quick, in order to know whether I wanna fuck you or not! If I have to go thru some additional steps, I'm outta here !

2. One incredibly arrogant provider said: " if you look at my pics, before my bio, I don't want to see you" Well, lady, that doesn't sit well with me either ! Good fucking bye !

I know something that bothers many hobbyists ( not me ) is if a provider has obtrusive website music. Guess they find that pretentious.

Thoughts on all of this ?

but I think it is unfortunate that you take a swipe at people afflicted with bi-polar.  It indicates a lack of knowledge about this condition.  The issues you raise have nothing to do with it.  Most of what you indicate is narcisism, a much different condition altogether.

That said, I agree that websites that are friendly in tone, have nice photos availiable and are easy on the eyes and easy to use will always get my interest up.  (among other things)

Go stuff it up your DSM------

correction on earlier post : I meant bi-polar or schizophrenic.

Lemme posit this : bipolar or schizo providers
give themselves away with their jumbled writing,
known as "word salad". Would you guys wanna see  providers afflicted with these psychotic conditions ?

You can't be a drunk around here, you can't admit to ever having used drugs, you can't say retard without offening someone, now we can't offend the manic depressive crowd???

When the fuck did this place become a fucking church social for the politically correct, next thing you know, we won't be able to use the word cunt, even when we are balls deep in one.

and no, I don't really want to see a provider who is bipolar, unless I can be guarateed to see her when she is "manic". rofl It can be fun to fuck a crazy woman. and if that offends you, too fucking bad.

Are you schizophrenic or BP ?

Get out under that alias & let's see your website----------excuse me if i don't do the same----

merely whimsical post listing things providers do on websites that I  don't care for. And, trying to "read me" , is beyond your limited capabilities, particularly one with such shallow,
pseudointellectual quasi shrink skills. Btw, you're quite obtuse if you can't recognize that much of what I've written is ironic/tongue in cheek.

NOW, STFU & go lick your balls like most sleeping dogs do--------

Many ladies also do this to keep every hairy Tom's dick from calling to ask a zillion questions and not book and appointment. I'm not saying I don't find it annoying, but many of these ladies provide a password just by asking.

Yes, many ladies sites come off as illiterate, confused, or worse, but I think the OP has another issue going on to sound so upset about something this far down the list of problems with providers or their websites.

Also, a website with flowing text straight out of a romance novel isn't always a guarantee that the provider is the same.  I'm sure that many providers have other people to build and maintain their sites; they supply to the webmasters what they want the site to say, contain, etc., and the webmasters will put it out there... often, I'm sure, cleaning up the text to not make it look like a third-grader wrote it.  (Perception is everything in this game, no less for the hobbyist than the provider.)

In other words, the website may look more professional than Microsoft's, but the provider might be barely one step up from being a member of the Lawndale High Fashion Club.

There is PASSWORD protected mini gallery for those who have been pre-screened.

If someone is not willing to provide me with screening info, I am not willing to give them access to my unblurred pics.

I had to look twice before approving her post, but yes she does have a TER emblem, it's towards the top of her home page, but partially obscured by her pics if my memory serves me right.

Or at least there was one, damn I think I need to drink a little more. lol

but I will agree, she is pretty damn cute.

Now that I have a professional one with more of me in the decorations the same lady shows through. It's hard to know what one person's likes are to anothers. If pictures show to much it can be a turn off to some while a cattle call for others. Finding a good mix that will appeal to those you want to entise isn't as easy as you think.

I use my blog as a good way to let people get to know me. It's not a daily log and as yet no new things have been added but my blog get's plenty of attention. Don't just take my word for it check out my "Garden of lust" on my website to see for yourself.

I hope my reviews, posts on TER and now my new website give a lively look at my personality.

You still have no clue what bipolar and schizophrenic mean, yet wish to diagnose people based on the wording of their websites. LOL

Many bipolar AND schizophrenic people are extremely literate. Many also lead stable, healthy lives, particularly through the use of medication and therapy. If you've played enough, you've probably played with a lady afflicted with bipolar or some other mental health issue. OHNOES.

It can take years to accurately diagnose a person with any mental health issue, and yet you can do it in a matter of minutes, without ever meeting the person! Screw an alias, I'd be pimpin' my mad psychiatric skills to EVERYONE.

I know most providers (as I was advised) will put some of their face or more graphic pics password protected so that our pics aren't out for EVERYONE to see without my knowing WHO has seen them...Plain and simple..

I'd love to hear what you all think about my site...I thought it would be relevant since I've been working on it forever, have done all of the work myself(including all of the text) and have been asking the opinions about my site of clients who contact me to set up an appointment.

Don't hang me out to dry, though, please....

"I think the OP has another issue going on to sound so upset"

Let see here... "I think" and "sounds like" don't qualify as any remotely resembling an objctive DSM classification of any kind. It kinda sounds like an opinion.

You on the other hand are making grossly inaccurate and inappropriate diagnostics about people's mental health status.

I also note that your little emoticon and your statement ("Go stuff it up your DSM") are in, what we might call in clinical psychiatric terms, disagreement (THAT deserves a smiley face!).

In no uncertain terms... smiley faces not allowed here... would I suggest you do the same.

Post your packages, rates or whatever else name you want to call it

Use colors which I can read

Using calligraphy fonts to write the web is not god idea

Never use fonts with city names, they don't work well

If you have music, warn your visitors and have a "mute" button, it is called a radio button.

If you are creating your own website, follow instructions carefully and I also know that you are hosting the site for free and your control is limited. The information I am willing to provide is even more limited.

Email you ask have the same risks, I say, they do and I say, I can take several measures to make it more difficult to track and snoop. I can use secure mail, use proxies to bounce of the mail, etc.

Regardless what you say, how you control and administer your web, there is no way in hell, I will ever fill out your web form with my personal information. I know too much about what law enforcement (federal, state and local) can do without a warrant to get the information. By federal law, they (ISP, Hosting, etc.) have to archive the information and have to give realtime access. Don't believe me, ask your attorney next time you talk to him and ask about CALEA and Patriot Act.

Everybody looks for different things of course.

A provider's website, if she is smart, is part of her screening. I can tell whether or not I'm her "type" of hobbyist by looking, and whether or not she's my "type" of provider.

So when I look at a website and say to myself "No way on earth am I seeing THAT lady!" I assume that I am having the precise reaction she intended.

So, say a lady uses terrible grammar and atrocious spelling while writing the entire site in a run-on sentence. Certainly, I won't likely be seeing her, but that's her intention. She doesn't want to see guys for whom that sort of stuff matters. If she did, she would give a college student $100 to proof read her site.

Some ladies establish themselves as low volume through charging really high rates. But that isn't the only way to achieve low volume -- it can also be done by putting together a website in such a way that most guys who look at it say "no way!"

Sure, the negative things you mentioned are out there and easy to find, like blatant pretentiousness...in abundance. Ditto on the password protected photos and the unwelcomed surprise of music booming through your speakers without warning.

I also love those preachy FAQ pages where some holier-than-thou chick displays her bitterness towards a few clueless jerk-offs but directs it broadly at everyone who dares to click. Yeah, we get it, you have to deal with losers sometimes. Me too, what's your point? Deal with it privately.  

But frankly, I haven't seen many sites that give much insight into personality. What I get from reading bios is a big yaaaaaaawwwwwn. I can count on one hand the number of bios I haven't clicked away from after one boringly redundant paragraph.

It's all so stat-quo. There's a one-size-fits all cookie cutter method to it that's so monotonous one might as well be a cut and paste from the previous one you saw.

"I'm classy, I'm fun, I'm smart and won't look like a dumb bimbo if you take me out in public, I have a colij edumacashun, I'm down to earth, I take my time, I like men who take showers and don't rob me, oh yes, I'm sexy, and did I already say fun? Classy? Smart? Blah blah blah."

Maybe these things are true about whichever one out of the zillion providers who say the same shit you happen to be viewing. Maybe not. But it's subjective, and reading that pile of redundancy does nothing to give me any insight into her personality. It does help with insomnia, however.

That doesn't mean that they don't have a personality, but I think very few possess the writing skills to make their personality shine through with literary media. Overall, 90% lack any originality, innovation, or flare what-so-ever, and fail miserably at conveying the  uniqueness of the individual.

What I like are websites with blogs...blogs that are actually updated more than once a year I might ad...then you can start to get a sense for the person to a limited degree. But even then, they are keenly aware of who's reading and still often take a politicians approach of evasiveness - you'll never get the WHOLE story...god forbid they say something unpopular.    

You need to add a TER emblem if you'd like to link to it.  Actually, that's not an opinion, it's a rule.  FWIW, you're pretty damn cute.

Just like me to piss off one of the cute ones.

a BBBW(sic) won't attract a guy who likes Asian spinners  hopefully

I like to think my website it pretty straightforward... I think sometimes guys may be in a hurry and don't need to have my site up and visible for that long ( whilst at work etc...)...So I try and have any info you need easy to find..I do have a Blog on my page though, and it definitely gives a lot of insight to my personality...

I like to think it's decent!

but, as many as claimed ? Sure some of them have their "degrees" from barber colleges-----

Oh all right, Little Phil actually posted it first, but I told her by PM first. lol

I AM the nice mod, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I have to confess to being distracted very easily by pretty girls. lol

It's there, in the upper right hand corner, but I added another just to make sure that everyone can see it.
My site is reviewed here, so I was required to add the emblem before being able to list it.

that when you want something, you want it right then. However, that old saying "patience is a virtue" rings true for some situations.

That being said, I password my pics because I don't travel and would like to know who is viewing my pics since I know plenty of people in the area. Not all of them are passworded, but I feel it is a privacy and safety concern.

I am sure several ladies use passwords for the same reason. I am not conceited or arrogant as the one provider you mentioned...it just gives me a little more comfort to know who is viewing me.
