I once had 6-7 gents (No, not all at once) one after the other ask me the same questions...It kinda freaked me out.. They all passed screening so I knew they weren't Bacon Bros, and none were Newbies....however I felt like I was on "Punked" after the 3rd. All questions happened in the first 5-10 minutes too.
I'm a shy chick IRL so I understand nerves...But would you break the ice with these?

Some were...

"So, is Tayler Lake your REAL NAME?"
"Do you invest your $?"
"Do you pay your taxes?"
"Do you live at your Incall?"
"Is your BF jealous of your clients?"
"Nobody wants to do THIS forever, what do you REALLY want to do for a living?"
"Do you see (insert ethnic group) guys?"
"Were you molested as a kid?" (Ok, this is def rude! Or at least a 3rd meet question lol)

I'd bet they saw some post prior to their visits on some of these topics. You may or may not have posted yourself.

I think the anonymity makes some guys feel freer to ask intrusive questions. Sort of like bad behaviour when driving.

I do not ask anything like this and certainly not on a first or second visit. I admit that my initial visits with a lady have primarily carnal intentions, and any chit chat is pretty benign. It usually takes a third visit for me before I feel like having a more personal chat but even that is still limited.

However, if you were on the other side of the door, who knows what I might ask

Do you cum here often?

what I want to know is, what do you tell these half-wits without appearing rude or alienating them?

is my mottoe.

Just enough talk / engagement to help a new lady be comfortable with me if she is not a fast starter.

Why do you want to put a lady in a position to have to either deflect you or lie to you anyway?

"Talk is cheap, and Time's expensive" lol....

The real thing anyone has to know about Fuck Club is there is not a lot of innovation/critical thinking. After all, isn't the real motivation to "get off and get going?" The world's oldest profession and nothing new under the sun? Not surprising, really, don't you think? I would submit this: if the average provider made $10 an hour, almost none of those questions get asked.

... are the answers providers give to questions that were never asked.

I never ask that kind of stuff. I WILL ask about stuff like college, other interests (What do you like to do when you aren't providing?) and stuff like that.

But that doesn't mean women won't answer those questions without them ever having been asked. Which is okay -- it stays with me.

Well, I know more clever ladies (or should I say, saints?) can control the conversation when it goes South, to back on sexy ground...I'm still not good at this, so I usually clam up. The times it happened caught me very off guard. I didn't get mad,
just tried my best to avoid the question.

Twice I was ask if I was married after the session. And when I said Yes, I felt the ladies felt let down by the tone of their voice or the energy level just toned down.

Maybe they were hoping to find gents who could be sugar-daddys.

I think it was whether I should cook a 3 lb pot roast at 375 for two hours or 275 for three hours.

No, I remember, it was "are you naked yet?"

You should probably work out a few sexy and smart comebacks, and practice them a bit to be confident to use them...

Something specific (which you could modify to be more general) such as:
"Are you here to talk about my taxes, or would you like to audit these (as you clasp and push your boobs together to enhance the cleavage effect, or pull your top down)?"

The "less talk more action" response is always handy and easy, but doesn't sound quite you, but I am sure you could polish it up a bit.

If I was that nervous, I would ask to excuse myself to use your bathroom, and splash cold water on my face while doing some deep breathing

I am pretty good anymore about not getting nervous on dates, but it used to happen, and I am sure I have asked some dumb questions in my time. I have done at least a few silly things on dates due to being nervous, not knowing better. The best one is one time I took a razor and some shaving cream to a date, thinking she would appreciate a clean shave. Ha, bet I was packing a toothbrush that day too, can't remember why now exactly, but something in her ad probably. She looked at me like I was an idiot, and commented on it. Live and learn.

I try not to ask any questions in the beginning of the date. Normally by the end of the date, during the post sex conversation she may reveal things about her. It's a fantasy for me, I don't need to know about her kids, parents or her Sep Ira.

pucker factor is already high as it is. Also, when I'm nervous, I listen for sounds that shouldn't be there, strange voices, things that go bump in the day, etc. I don't start asking personal questions until my 3rd or 4th visit.

I don't ask about a providers family life, unless she voluntary tells me something first.  
I sometimes ask about if she has a straight job, and what type of work.  I don't ask specifics and if she is hesitant to say anything, I bring up something else.  
I used to ask how she got into the business, but so few wanted to discuss this that I quit bringing it up.  
If she's a traveling lady I'll ask about the places she has visited.  Some confess that all they tend to see is the hotel room.  But a few do see some of the sites.  

I must confess it can be hard to have a conversation with someone when all you know about her is she that she is a provider.

As some famous politcian once said (I think is was Sen Sam Rayburn.):

(And I paraphrase.)

You can keep quiet and let people think you're a fool, or open your mouth and remove any lingering doubt.

"So, is Tayler Lake your REAL NAME?"
“Sure if Hung like Bull is yours.”

"Do you invest your $?"
“Are you haggling price? I invest my $$$$$.”

"Do you pay your taxes?"
“I had to since you did not pay my taxes and it is the law of the land.”

"Do you live at your Incall?"
“Sometimes it seems like it.”

"Is your BF jealous of your clients?"
“No he loves to watch and is videoing us as we speak.”

"Nobody wants to do THIS forever, what do you REALLY want to do for a living?"
“I was not planning on doing it forever, but these stupid questions make it seem like forever.”

"Do you see (insert ethnic group) guys?"
“How can you miss them?  They are not invisible, of course I see them.”

"Were you molested as a kid?"
“I was never a baby goat, but I feel like my ears were just assaulted by your question.”

So they ask stupid questions. I don't remember ever asking these questions but many providers have told me their real names, and life etc., after seeing them couple of times.

While on the subject, many providers have asked me what do you like? Sex apparently and that is the answer I gave them.

I think that it is rude and none of your business to ask such questions.The only good question is the one that concerns your safety.

I like to know the lady's real name.  I never write it down or tell anyone.  Two have told me their name, one on the 5th session.  Some, I have found out myself.  Since they have my name, I like to know their's but it's a no-no to ask.

Once, a lady started to give me books.  We went to the bookstore afterwards and she bought me a new one.  The next time, she gave me one of her books...which had her real name written inside!

By knowing their real names, I've googled them later and found that some have transitioned into normal lives.  One now cuts hair.

WTF is a normal life???

and just why are you so hung up on a provider's "real name"? It supposed to be a fantasy dumbass, let it remain one if she so wishes.

You just gave the ladies here good reason to keep their private lives private. Sheesh, it only takes one overly inquistive douche bag to make all hobbyists appear to be stalkers.

Sometimes i feel sorry for the guys, i mean you can't just go through the session silent and i know we are both just trying to break the ice, i have a soft heart so im a pretty understanding girl..

BTW i think this is my first post here, so hello all im just-jenna from indys, just branching out, so im just learning the ropes here, please be patient with me..

Hugs Jenna
