First of all, I love that TER is back and hopefully it stays open because it is an important part of this community.  

Many providers with social media are really bad at PR.  Getting into squabbles or denigrating clients is really a bad idea from a business perspective.   Let 'em wax on about quirky stuff ... that gives them an interesting character.  But when they start throwing shade on other people, it really looks bad ... who wants to hang out with a scold.

Many women use SM very smartly and that greatly helps their biz.  BUT...there does seem to be quite a bit of client/male bashing that goes on as well.  Tons of complaining too, about minor infractions e.g. a dude not filling out her form properly or not completely. Is that really something to run to SM and complain about to the masses? Some of the gals are very jaded and they can't hide that on their SM. I avoid them like the plague.

fantasy experiences the ladies provide.  For me Providers on SM provide a little too much reality and too many peeks behind the curtain.  Its a turn-off, so even though TER went on hiatus, I just couldn't get interested in following social media posts put up by providers.

I am actually very active on social media especially twitter.. I enjoy interacting with clients and getting to know everyone.

It's amazing how much sense you make when you're not talking about politics.

Twitter has been very good to me.  I do not pay to advertise. I am not a high volume, or high end provider.  I just lowered my rates, since I moved back to civilization.  I am not sure why asking for donations is a con.  I get money from kind people I have never met because they love my personality.  I get gifts and appreciate all the donations.  I am always grateful.  Time is valuable & precious.

A large number of companions use it only as an ad venue: they post photos, availability, possibly duo or discounted offerings, and that's it.  There's the other end of that spectrum as well, those who seemingly share every thought and experience which occur to them throught the day, every day.  

I had a Twitter as well as an Instagram account but since I am not much for social media to begin I did not really keep up with it and ditched both accounts. I prefer to remain ‘under the radar’ as much as possible especially now with how everything has changed.

It has been a great way to communicate with our client base and to keep everyone in the loop and up to speed with all things 100 Proof.

It illustrated the pros and cons, and did so fairly adroitly, as well.

I hope that Providers will keep in mind that many members of this community shun Social Media like the plague that it is. Search "plague that it is" and "nefarious tentacles" and similar phrases on General, Newbie and elsewhere.  (Hmmm ... SEARCH is broken and you can't search "all these words". Search "plague" and "tentacles".)  And be careful for your own privacy when using SM. See, for example:

The point being, many of us avoid SM so please don't discriminate against us or ASSUME that we have been following your SM and read every SM post.  If you have a website, please keep that info up to date (touring schedule, rates, etc.), as well.  Thanks!

And I am so fucking pleased to announce, TODAY is that day. I agree with you COMPLETELY.  

I only post my professional pictures on twitter
And post comments  
That’s about it.

All generalizations are false, including this one.  (Mark Twain)

(Hmmm, I think I could have phrased that better.)

As a variety seeking client, my main complaint about social media is search inefficiency.  It's great for fanboys, obviously.

were participating in your "poll" .

and to them I say "good riddance"

that those companions from Twitter who publicly and privately proclaimed their dislike, and some disdain, for TER were some of the first ones who posted photos and ads here once TER went back online for the US without requiring the use of a VPN.

MY measure is the ONE true measure. lol

Manhattan is another world. Just across the Hudson in New Jersey, prices are more down to earth.

Only 60-some have voted so far.    A lot of ladies are still undecided, waiting to see how it pans out now.  

I personally haven't seen (or perhaps paid enough attention to notice) what you've described.   Actually, I rarely go look at a lady's website to see what her rate or screening criteria is.   My assistant checks out others when sending reference requests so I'll ask her if she's noticed what you describe.

THat should read.... "rates for reputable providersi IN NYC start at around 500-600."

With not being able to advertise and market myself on TER for 2 years, Twitter became my go to place. I'm not on Switter at all, never liked the layout.  

I am glad that we have emerged from the shadows.  It is like  a fraternity/sorority relationship has been re-ignited;  accept this time we decide ourselves whether we are in or not.  

I have always thought that when it comes to pussy, we almost always agree. We are only polar opposites when it comes to politics, but I still cling to the hope that you will one day see the light. Lol

These providers are running their business how they see fit, and they’re obviously getting dates from gentlemen willing to follow through. Sorry that rubs you the wrong way. I wonder, would your walk into Aston Martin screaming about their prices when you can go to Ford and put down $250 for a Fiesta, or do you save your rage just for hookers?  

I'm waiting for the wool to be pulled from your eyes.

Think about it. If you’re skeptical about a man hater, (or a man hating phase,) you can avoid them. You might not get that from reviews. So your cons seem like pros.  

On my Twitter.   It's still running and I hope more companions will vote before it ends.  

You are flooding boards with your threADS, but you are not sure that TER is the best thing that ever happened to hobby world ever?  
Of course it would benefit you to have less providers on TER  
So please stop your stupid poll, doesn’t really look good on you .

I honestly thought some might be interested in checking it out once it's done.  

agreed, like I said earlier... 2020 with 20/20 vision.  
Mute is a great option but if it doesnt work... blocked is even a better feature.

You actually make a GREAT point, just like I have been able to remove many BSC hookers from my to-do list because of their rants right here on TER, social media can be used for the very same purpose.

Yes, it will have several flaws i.e. it will be non-scientific along with it being a small sample size but it can give a least a glimpse into what some girls may be thinking.  

I knew there was a reason I didn't hate you lol!  

ESPECIALLY the ones who use fake pics, give poor service, or otherwise don't give value to their clients. I mean why in the world would they want their potential victims, err clients, knowing in advance what a poor value they are going to get for their money.  

I've always said it's important to have a way to research companions.  

Not to White Knight or anything but  I like provider input, even if I don't always agree with it.  This is the market in action, we all want the most for the least. That's just nature and it is actually a power for good.  When the other side of the deal is talking it helps me in future negotiations.

but in spite of our differing viewpoints on this (and other) subject. I have always found you to be rather reasonable and capable of seeing the other viewpoint, but I promise I won't tell anyone. lol

i agree social media has its major pros as fair as advertiaing but there can be alot of issue when it comes to clients liking there privacy which is totally understandable.

I used to be one of those people that did not want to be on social media.  
But I started my Twitter page in 2017 and it has been is great for business. I have met so many gents who found me there.
I do not get into arguments or disagreements with guys or other providers. But then again I never did this here or any other site. So social media would be no different for me. I have seen many tweets with ladies arguing with each other or just mess between a client and provider.People asking and begging for gifts/cash continuously,the rude comments from people hiding behind their twitter page.
But on the other hand I have seen kindness and been shown kindness by people I may/may not have met who appreciate my content. Providers many who I do not know personally will respond with kind words or RT each others postings. So many times guys have told me they found me from a RT from a fellow provider and I return the favor.
If someone is inappropriate or rude I just block or put them on mute I do not want to see arguing and bs on my timeline.

I think I posted something on Instagram when I had Instagram.  

They show your personality.

Follow Jaydalee! It's worth it just for her selfies!!

I live Jaydalee’s selfie videos. ❤️

Love, not live ugh lol

Thanks so much for your kind words.
There are many fabulous ladies on Twitter .
Happy holidays xo

I love Twitter because you guys can see me in my natural, goofy ass state of being!!  I agree with Jaydalee, Twitter is a great way to connect with people and keep those who are interested up to date on my whereabouts.  

I ask for little presents all the time lol. I do it as little suggestions and they love bringing them to dates. It just makes everything more fun imo.

the problem is not in the tool, is inside the brain of the person who use those tools.

It's funny how they get so mad when someone else copies their tweets as if a client will care if a tweet was "plagiarized".

Interesting marketing concept. Sure seems someone hit home 😂

paying a Mercedes price for a Mercedes, but what sucks is paying the Mercedes price and ending up getting the Ford Fiesta.  Don't forget that when it comes to providers, we pay BEFORE we get the test drive, and I have never heard of anyone getting a refund if a Mercedes turns out to be Ford Fiesta with a fancy paint job.

like those poor fuckers (and I am one) who get married.

Match.com, POF, Okcupid, and LinkedIn are all forms of social media, as well. TER is terrific social media.

why the SW twitter market may come crashing down now that TER is back.  This is where the action will be within another year, just like before.  

Don't get me wrong, there are a ton of whiny and petty posts on Twitter coming from the ladies' side (a la "here's what happened tonight" posts), but they are full of self-serving whining and lack insight or suggestions.  But when I first got back onto Twitter after the outage here, I was inundated with DMs asking me questions, like "what's your web site" and "how can I meet you" and "where are you located" that could've easily been answered by spending 2 minutes reading my profile and last couple of tweets.  Many experience this.

when they are shaved smooth, freshly showered, and on their backs.  This seems to work out alright for them, too.  Is that what you call a "win-win?"
