So, providers and hobbyists. I'm going to start something here, or there will be some crickets chirping.

In one of your last sentences, you stated that you "want(ed) to slam down a few goals."

I can't give the explicit details, just in case they actually occur; however, I mean career goals. The career I am pursuing is a pretty expensive one, and not in the sex industry. So... no, not a provider. Also to clean some stuff up from a few recent occurrences that were pretty damned expensive. (I do want fake titties too, heheehh)

I like to pursue but absolutely adore when a lady lets me know she is in my area for
a 2nd or plus date. F...ing HOT

I'M IN TOWN!! PICK ME! PICK ME!

I like the pursuit of a woman and it can be fun when she plays hard to get, even in this world. I like flirting in PM's and emails. Desperation is a turn off for me, she should be confident in herself and her ability to attract men in and out of the hobby. She should be selective and choose clients who click with her personality. Money is the goal but it's not the end-all be-all. If she hates this business, hates what she's doing, and has no goals in life other than being a hooker, she's not for me. There has to be an end-game to keep my interest. I like fucking hot women as much as the next guy but I also like brains and a great sense of humor. Appearance and personality are important and it's hot when she plays hard to get just like it is in the civvie world. Playing hard to get doesn't mean charging a fortune for her services. It means she's selective and looking for good matches and men who will click with her. High-buck hookers are not my style when there are so many excellent women at affordable rates.

good question.  For me as a hobbyist, I don't want to pursue. Pursuing women is for the civi world.

Regarding this post, it's pretty good information.

...if you can read into that little phrase, I'd be impressed...

Oh, hypocrite I am!

Ladies just can not get upset if we can not make it.

The other thing is providers schedules and if they do not have an ad or website with calender.
I tend to not ask for a date unless it is clear.

One of my 'firsts' emailed me. Sent that one out over a month ago, very nice guy.

Slow in the mornings, 'eh?

Tru Dat

will notify me way in advance of her visit to my town when she'll be here so that I can book her.  My calendar tends to get filled up quickly, often times months in advance.

It's not an ego thing, at least not mainly.

I guess if I had to choose, I'd call myself a prey, rather than a pursuer.

.... and being super busy with work makes a second contact greatly appreciated.  

There are providers, not many, who have full time jobs/careers and don't need the money. I've met two who still provide for certain reasons. One reason is they like sex and get bored with the same man so rather than giving it away for free (slut, lol), they make money off of their sexual desires and use the proceeds to buy the finer things in life. One provider is always dressed to the nines, I mean she's ready for a night out on the town every time I see her. She knows style and money is no object. Another provider loves to travel and takes exotic vacations for 2-3 weeks at a time. That's what I mean by the good life, the hobby provides them additional resources to live an upscale life that their paycheck wouldn't allow. Most hobbyists who have careers are on a budget and scrimp and save for retirement. I don't go on exotic vacations or buy expensive clothes, I save and whatever is left over each month, I see providers with. I envy these women who live a great life, a richer life than I do by far. Of course, neither is married and neither had kids so it's a lot easier for them to live the good life.

1. In it for the money (if I achieve an orgasm, then that is a bonus).  

I'm in it for the money. I can appreciate the attention I receive from men but this is a very peculiar context. I've learned to detach myself from that. Their admiration is no reflection of myself or my personal qualities - it is given too freely for that. So, in the hobby, I take pride in being good at my job, and ethical, but what means a lot more to me, are my accomplishments in other venues.

+1 though I'd have to think a little more about the prey part!  But if a lady wants to see a guy and the guy want to see the lady, I see little wrong with the lady letting the guy know she's coming to town.  Why make things harder than they have to be in the name of games that really don't apply here?

Its nice.
I had once so many inquiries whom had contacted me.  I dont like to see repeat customers any way too too much. Cuz I am a stranger fetish type person and like that rush.  
I found saving emails numbers or attempting to contact guts whom called last week I didnt get the chance to meet also.
I found that to be a waste of time.
I just try n keep up with text call as they come in. When I am booked for week I tell them not til next wed, thu, ect.
And I encourage pre booking and tell them call text or email as much as you like and we ll cross paths eventually.
I often get thier email too late or calls I wish I could fuck every one but. Its not possible.
I found if they cant prebook they can call me at random. Calling them back when yoy have an opening weeks later never works.  
I tryed organizing all my reservations by area, woburn burlington, north shore, cambridge, burlington waltham.  
Categorizing my appt requests.  
Then I d tell them id contact them when I come thete. Then I d store the submitted reservation cluent appt request forms and email them when available.
I get alot of last min calls from regulars n new I dont take but Itry n keep phone on and let them know when iI WILL becone aavl next if unable to meet at that time.  
Ble.  
As of late I havent even opened my email for over a week. Sometimes I open ema
