I'm based in NYC, and this definitely happens. This behavior appears to be coming fro providers who are lacking in quality (usually their looks IMO). Most of the providers I see, they never submit ads on TER (they do have ads up on other platforms).  

There does appear to be a sense of desperation that is endemic to such behavior. I've said it before, but I prefer women who do not appear to be solely dependent on this type of work (maintaining a sense of elegance is a highly desirable quality).

For the record I find it charming when a provider says "my English not perfect".

I have also noticed that on the regional boards and "In Search of" boards you usually see the same providers responding. I wouldn't go so far as to describe them as "desperate" but I don't think it is very good marketing on their part because it can appear that way.

It doesn't make a difference to me ... One man's desperation is another man's "go get 'er." Providers eager to please is a good thing, for we clients.

It's the banal "You've seen the rest now visit the best" platitude. When I see this there is a near reflex to ignore the user. Yes. It's noticed.

A buyer for Costco's website told me that for them it's all about exposure. About 4 years ago they were getting about 3 million hits a month.
She bought 3 items from me. When I asked if they had sold this type of item before, she answered that with 3 million hits a month, they can sell 3 of anything.  

It goes the same for sex workers on the boards. When  one person is requesting a service, many more see the request and the ladies who answer are getting much more exposure than the one requesting. I guess they figure they might get someone else also being interested in them.
I've certainly found a couple of great ladies that way.

you're sickness abled you read and beg. Your culture is no different than others when you really think about it.......

There are so many providers in Las Vegas that I definitely look at the Ad Boards and Local Discussion Board for Las Vegas because there has to be some way to narrow the field.  The Ad Boards are great, especially when the provider posts new and updated pictures.  Selfies are fine and welcomed by me; they offer more authenticity than professional pics.  Posting the same pictures, over and over again, from several years ago is a definite red flag and I write them off.  

But back to the OP's question.  The Discussion Board also serve its' purpose, for me, by whittling down my list of providers that I would like to see.  There have been a lot of providers that I would have considered seeing but they effectively eliminated themselves from further consideration by chiming in on any and every subject, which to me seems a definite type of desperation by just getting their name out there.  Add to that a lot of those posts are completely negative (in one form or another) and would seemingly do anything but attract new business.  The vast majority of outstanding providers that I have seen in Las Vegas, and elsewhere, post Ads - with updated pics, and stay pretty quiet on the Local Boards.  When I see the same people constantly posting it definitely raises questions for me.

I'm attracted to providers who post a weekly ad and keep a fairly low, and positive, profile on TER.  Same goes with Twitter..... I'm all for a Twitter page that promotes a provider's business and includes some of their personal interests, like sports, hobbies and travel; but when I see a litany of posts about politics and stirring up controversial issues it is an immediate turn off.  Sadly, there have been many providers in Vegas that I have simply stayed away from because they, IMHO, market their business on TER that definitely screams out "Look at me, Look at me!!!" at any cost.  IMHO, as far as TER marketing is concerned less is indeed more.

I notice the "pick me!" replies on ISO and local boards.  They seem to come in spurts, over the course of 1-3 days, and then silence for a while. That leads me to think it's more towards desperation to meet someone and pay a bill or two. If it was a marketing strategy, it would be more consistent over longer periods.
.
There was a Provider who was recently replying to almost every ISO with "Yes! Pick me! I am near you." kinds of replies whether it was San Francisco, Chicago, Miami or New York. She was EVERYWHERE! All at the same time! I forget her name so I can't search for her posts. (Actually, the first batch of her replies were deleted, either by Admin or, maybe by her own request when it came up as a topic on the boards. Now, I can't even find the discussion thread.)

I don't mind it. To me, it shows that a provider is ready, willing and able to fulfill the request.

Some guys like to get to the point and might not have a lot of time to scroll thru many ads and websites to find what they are specifically looking for.

I've posted a few times when I had appointments cancel and limited time to play, and have had mixed results.

In Las Vegas, I got several responses and met a couple great gals.

In Phx., not so much......

It was more of a timing thing for me, and I was very happy when a gal responded and was ready.

I think some providers, when they are available, respond to these ads as a way to get work.
I don't see it as "desperate"..... Just "active".

It's a good thing to stay "active".....😁

This is definitely the case on my local board. A hobbyist will ask a question meant for other hobbyists about which local providers fit certain criteria and the same 2-3 providers will always be in there saying for all intents and purposes "I'm close enough to what you're looking for."

Super annoying.

interactions on the boards, I think it's both.  Some ladies are just aggressively marketing themselves, and others just reek of desperation by what they post.  Many of these ladies are older providers and are not getting as much play as they got a few years ago.  So their solution, as you pointed out, is trying to be all things to all people.  Sometimes the same ladies advertising GFE to one ISO are claiming they are the strap-on queen for another ISO.  I have a hard time picturing a GFE provider as a strap-on queen or a dominatrix specializing in humiliation of her customers.  That just seems contradictory.  So the customers are left wondering who is this lady, really?  She claims to be everything depending on who's asking.  Accordingly, her credibility takes a massive hit as most hobbyists are left scratching their heads.    

 
I have seen several ladies that I first noticed on the boards, but it was because they impressed me with their intelligence and personality, because the social aspect of a session is as important to me as the physical.   I can get two pops in a two hour session, but there is going to be twenty minutes or so in between of "down" time (no pun intended), and the worst thing is to be stuck in that situation with someone who is a complete mental midget.  I have never seen a provider off of a board post just because she claimed to give the best blow job anywhere, although I am sure there is some poor schmuck somewhere that actually told her she gave him the best blow job he ever head, so now she wants to make a general conclusion off of an inadequately small sampling.  

I'm surprised you haven't seen posts complaining about it. Maybe there haven't been any recent threads about that and you haven't seen the ones in the past, but it is definitely a topic that has come up a lot.  

Anyway, to me it makes those providers seem desperate. It's not appealing at all. Now I have no problem with providers posting "pick me" posts when they fit the bill for whatever the searcher is looking for in his (or her) ISO post. Or if it is an open post ("looking for company for Friday night in xx town"). It is really annoying when the same ladies pop up over and over when the potential client is looking for something completely different.  

I.e.
"In search of short petite blonde with small natural breasts."  
"Hi! I'm a tall brunette with double d implants! Pick me!"

That may seem extreme but I have seen posts pretty close to that.

"Pick me! Pick me! I'm the best!! I'm a real genius and I have LARGE HANDS!!!"

Any of these providers somewhat orange-faced?

Yes, I've seen a lot of this type of "advertising" over the years and I've ignored all of it. Whether it's desperation, tone-deaf "marketing" or just relentless self-promotion -- it doesn't appeal to me. Part of it has something to do with me being is sales/customer service/retail ops since 1969 and I know when I'm being "sold to." The more aggressive this action, the more I get turned off, whether it's a provider or furniture being touted.

Tell me who you are, show me who you are, give me an idea as to what our time together might be like and back it up with some accurate photos. That will go a longer way to me booking time together.

Hopefully, don't have the idle time to pay attention to the blabbering. Besides, the same provider may provide both types of services or the OP changed his mind.

Isn't this a marketing avenue?

I absolutely see this on my city's board - a handful of ladies that are consistently responding to almost any ISO or suggestion post. You can even see how they go through and do it all at once (they're latest reply for the most recent 5 threads, with very similar or identical posts). I get putting your name out there and advertising, but doing it to that degree is a big turn off.

A lady with a light touch that adds to the conversations or advertises herself when appropriate can be good and attract me to consider seeing them. But don't over do it, or I'll start automatically skimming past your post AND I'll never look into learning more about you for a potential visit.

pick me

Well there’s multiple different reasons. Some providers seek more reviews. Others seek a safer screening since guys who use TER and P411 frequent on the board more. Even if the poster doesn’t see you someone else will and might fancy you enough to contact you. Other providers have expenses that exceed simply rent(some only offer hotel and Outcall), lingerie, designer bags, and up keep. Some providers have businesses and families that rely on them. So overexposure may not essentially mean desperation but daily administration work. NYC is a competitive market so it’s more frequent on the boards. I mean were speaking of freelance essentially so yes there are season providers who don’t rely on the boards there ads and photos do the work. I don’t know everyone has there niche and method to the madness. There are beautiful providers who use the board. I think attraction in marketing isn’t due to actuality all the time but precision and strategy. Some providers are provided by one suitor and don’t require to do extensive administration work. Some clients say I look better than my pictures when I open the door others have a different opinion...everyone doesn’t have the same taste. I’m just happy to not be a barista right now.

Of course providers hang out there and respond to ISO posts without checking your posting history first.

In my town (big city), the local boards are dominated by the same ladies.  Whatever anyone is looking for, in their mind, they are the perfect fit.  Whether its marketing or desperation, it's a turn-off for me.  Makes me think that it is not someone I would like to meet.

I’m still a bit new to TER and no matter how hard I try here I feel like it’s just filled with so much negativity. I’m so confused. Guys post ISO posts and if I happen to be what the guy is asking for I’ve responded
 I’ve never said I’m better than anyone or realized I was being annoying. I simply thought that’s how this place works. Aren’t these posts searching for something and the ones who have it should reply? Can someone please explain to me the proper etiquette? Am I supposed to PM them or not respond at all? For the record most times when I’ve reaponded multiple guys have contacted me.  

I’m not desperate. I am low low volume by choice. One reason is that I try to only see those looking for my type.

I reply to ISO..

but only if I fit the criteria.I find quite a bit of the times that if the OP does not respond to me there are other guys who just lurk who are also reading.These guys are looking for the same thing.
I have seen some responses where people think it is desperate to respond publically to any ISO no matter if you are what the OP is looking for or not.To those people I say what are we here for a tea party or to get naughty?

This is a business.Forget that....some cities there are way too many ads and ladies for a guy to sort through.
I think anyone who has read any forums in the past have seen what you mentioned.
A guy makes a post for a specific type of lady and some responses are nowhere near what he is requesting.
I don't know...I always thought that was odd.
It's one thing to respond to an ISO if you fit the criteria but to respond with "I am the best" or "look no further"just comes off as rude and catty to the other ladies who have also responded.
Just my .02

I too will respond to ISO posts, if I think it's someone that I may be interested in seeing, or if I fit the criteria they are seeking.

We can only post ads once per week here and there are a lot of providers in Vegas, it certainly increases exposure.  I always notice increased traffic to my site when I do respond, and even if the op doesn't choose me, often someone else might find me.

Sometimes I don't see any interesting requests and I don't post, other days there may be 2 or 3 suitable posts and I respond.  Perhaps some would view this as desperation, I don't know, but it seems to work for me.

Incidentally it is possible for a provider to offer both GFE and PSE sessions.  I enjoy both.  

Am I the only one?

Who doesn't care how other ladies run their business?????  Always interesting to see the boards and interaction on there but it doesn't hurt my business at all. I guess I really don't put to much thought on what others do, what may work for me may not work for someone else.  At the end of the day, I hope all the ladies here do well and do what they feel is best for them, without worry. If I tried to please everyone here, I would never be happy lol. Just do you and be the best version of yourself.

I haven't used the regional boards yet or posted an ISO, but I assume the point is to post a thread in order to request a meeting, and then pick which ever provider responds. The whole thing kinda falls apart if the provider isn't supposed to respond because it'll seem "desperate".  

 
Well maybe it is desperate, but that isn't a bad thing, really. The guy wants to fuck, the girl wants money. It's the desperation of pleasure and survival, isn't that what this whole thing is about, when you take it all apart and really take a look?

Hi,

I joined TER 2 months ago as a paying provider and I tried to go on to the provider only board. They said you had to make a request for access. I was surprised by the admins response since I had been reviewed many times  and I paid for the membership. They told me that I couldn't have membership to TER and the only way it would be granted would be by participating in discussions for three months and then reapply. This is the only reason why I participate. I am the kind of girl that prefers to read what others are discussing and if I feel that I would like clarification or share a response is when you would see me on a board discussion. I have a life outside of the service that I provide and I enjoy it greatly.

Honestly, I don't mind it. It doesn't affect my decision about seeing someone--for that I go by website, reviews and, if she's active here, the tone and content of what she says.

To All,

Thank you so much your input. After read many of the great responses I think i see better now. For me I think its just issue of different culture and something I need understand and probably use as well.

 
Thank you.

Christine
