I have found that the quality of the client usually depends on where you advertise.  I don't advertise in many printed publications here in Atlanta because those are not the clients that I want to attract.  Instead, I advertise on the Internet, so I get mostly professional businessmen and very few, but upperscale students.  The services, even the most reputable ones, have the tendency to advertise anywhere and everywhere because even though they say that your safety is paramount, it's really the money that is #1.

I have been there myself and agree wholeheartedly.  Most agencies use the screening, safety and discretionary issue as more of a marketing tool.  It boils down to $$$ and the hell with everything else and the ladies are the ones that end up dealing with the reprecussions.  

There are however, some very good agencies out there that do have the ladies well being in mind, as well as the gents.  I have found those to be run by former top notch independent ladies.  Unfortunately, they are very far and few inbetween.
