I like to see a photo attached to the lady's ad as well, but if there is a hypertext to her website I'm just fine with it.

What I don't understand is when I arrive at the website only to find that there are NO photos at all to view or they are locked behind a password.
I just move along to the next ad.

I also wonder, who the hell is going to take the chance in booking this lady, sight unseen ?

Well today I found out. I read a newly submitted review that was graded poorly by a hobbyist who was disappointed in the providers looks as well as her performance.

It was fairly obvious that he was only attracted to the very inexpensive price tag that she offered on her website.

If you are shopping for upscale providers, they all have very detailed websites, so replication of information contained there is moronic waste of time and bandwidth.

If you are shopping for backpage girls, then you get what you are shopping for.

Note, that by "backpage girls" i refer to specific type of escort, not to all escorts who advertise on backpage.

Scoed, your rants (plural) about ads is becoming annoying.

You want pictures. That is what websites are for. Every week a lady posts a rant in private about her pics being stolen. Its not just other women who steal our pics. There are tons of cheap sites out there who just lift our ads/profiles from other sources and create a listing for us on their "escort" site that no one has ever, or will ever visit. Forgive us please, if we don't sprinkle the internets from top to bottom with our pictures.

You want links to reviews. That's a great idea. Nothing says 'arrest me please' like linking to reviews that leave no doubt about the activities taking place for pay. Forgive those ladies who feel more comfortable maintaining a semblance of plausible deniability. Not all do of course, but as with so much of this hobby, her comfort level dictates her decision making, rather than your need to be spoon fed.

Availability? This is information usually found on her website. So is contact information, so is rate information. I guess we just shouldn't have websites. Everything you've listed is information generally provided on websites. Are you allergic to clicking links or something? So I guess we should write ads that rival War and Peace so that you are spoon fed every tidbit you might possibly need.

What's next? Do you need the lady to come over and dial your phone for you? Perhaps write your email to her herself? I hope you stop short of borrowing someone else's dick for the actual appointment at least. Surely you can at least manage to do that much for yourself, right?

Some people are too busy to click on your web site link.

However, they have enough spare time to write regular 3,000 words rants about having to spend 1 second on clicking the link.

Your right. The sites should have certain minimal prerequisites that the providers should have to conform to in order to post an ad. However their first goal is to make money and if a provider is imprudent enough not to put certain critical information and items of a visual dynamic then more times than not she will not get a good return on her investment.

On another *ahem* review site I participate in (it is far and away the more popular site in KC), we have occasionally had a sort of "sadie hawkins" discussion where the ladies get to do the asking. The guys post their "ads", and we ladies contact them. Its kind of fun actually lol

I was looking at some ads at few places looking for fresh talent, and I noticed that that I was rejecting a lot of ladies just based on whats not in their ads. I guess I am just lazy but I hate having to look things up that I feel should be plain in any ad.

Things like:

Pictures- I notice these lacking especially at TER but other places like P411 as well. A ladies looks is a key reason to want to meet her. I think they are a very important sales tool. I get the no face picture and no nudity thing but no photos at all?

Rates- This is pay for play after all, the pay is a key point, I hate talking about money with a lady I want to play with. It screams LE to me if a lady wants you to talk money to her. Yes, I know that some legit providers do not post rates but still makes me uneasy.

Link to reviews- I know some malls don't allow you to post about reviews but on the the sites that do why not put a link or a location up if you do have them and they are good? I seen ads for ladies I know have solid reviews yet no mention of them.

Link to web site- Again I know some site do not allow such things but on sites that do why not link to a place the lady haves all her information so I can look it up if I am interested. I again see ads by providers I know have a web site at a place that did allow such links. Seems to me to be a waste.

Availability- Does the lady have an incall does she do outcall? Is she available during the day, evenings, weekends? These things are key to some and stating such in an ad could be a real time saver for both parties. Why not include that information?

Contact information- Yes I found an ad on anther review sit without an contact information. If I can't figure out how to get a hold of the provider, how can I book even if I wanted to?

I really don't understand why if allowed this information is not is a ladies ad. Uninformative ads is becoming a pet peeve of mine.

After all is not the whole point of an ad to entice costumers to look into you and inform them about what they need to know about you to make things happen?

I really don't get all of the lacking ads.  I find it annoying.

Thanks for humoring my little rant.

So what do you want in an escort ad?

Damn, S. Blah, blah, blah.

Here's my deal. Physical attraction, first. i.e. their pix on their ads. I'm a visual creature, so what?

Then I get to talkin' with them. Whether email, PM, text, phone. Find out there's more underneath the surface. Even better. Shit, can't fuck 2 hours straight. Gotta talk about something worthwhile in between pops!  

Reviews are helpful, as well as word of mouth, though, I don't believe I've ever asked a guy for his opinion about a certain lady. Was TOLD I should see certain ladies, and looking forward to meeting with other 'pearls' of said person's knowledge!

But in any case, Just trying to have fun and not take it too seriously.

Yeah, I know. STFU. lol!

Some ladies from TER advertise on BP as well. Or vice-a-versa. Some guy will TOFTT, and the lady gets her first review on TER. Good for her.

But I understand what scoed is saying. Sometimes it feels like jumping thru hoops, going thru this and that procedure, just to find out what you wanted to know initially.

And you can't tell me, going thru all these processes, makes the lady anymore legit.

What? So I had to spend 5 minutes looking up your shit instead of 2? And that's supposed to make me feel secure you're a reputable provider? Fucking bullshit.

The only thing that saves your ass is the pages of reviews you may or may not have, and the scores you've been given. Granted, if they're good.

I know I'm not the only one in saying this, if I have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to find out what I need to know to book with you, there's something wrong. It such be quick and seamless, just like when you check our referrences.

Tell me I'm wrong?

had no rates posted.  Ok, she did have a website, so I go there.  She makes a statement that her rates are non-negotiable, no problem with that, rates usually are that.  But THERE WERE NO RATES ON HER WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   WTF!!!  

Needless to say, she is not on my to-do list.

I will freely admit to being pretty lazy.  While reviewing the LV board for compliant posts, I frequently find ads that get me interested.  If they would just come over and dial the phone, I'd see lots more providers.  Always the opportunist, I think that this would be a very useful service.

Oh crap, you were kidding, weren't you.  Oh well, maybe the hotties posting ads there will just contact me instead.  

just like the ladies.

Sorry, but I am more than happy to be the one doing  both the paying, and the choosing.

So you pay the guys! Works for me.

before i accept my references from someone I check everything about her.  

So it takes 2 - 5 minutes .. and?

I do my homework on any lady I see, a lot of it. In fact I spend more time screening my dates then my dates spend screening me. If I am contacting a lady I have read many of her reviews on more then one site, read her web site if she has one, looked up her ad history, and I do some back-channeling. No one is asking for you to dial the phone for me.

I have read post after post about ladies complaining about guys not putting key information in the introductory email. Things like references, when they want to meet , how long they want, brief description, their full name, and some contact information. If you don't include that stuff a lot of ladies will ignore you and that is a fact.

Your ad is the equivalent your introduction email to me. It should have the same kind of information in it. The information I need to begin screening and to see if I am at all interested.

If it don't I know for a fact that many guy will ignore your ad. I am one becoming one of them. Screening take enough time as it is, I don't want to waste time finding out if the lady is even worth screening or if something simple like scheduling would prevent the meeting in the first place.

As far as someone stealing you photos, are they on a publicly viewable web site? If so the can be stolen, right click protected or not. But that is actually not the main point of my rant. And I do see your point.

I do see your point on the reviews. I will concede that point. I thank you for pointing that out.

Your comments on availability shows you never looked for an escort. Heck half the time the city the lady is in isn't in her website. Calendars are seldom up to date. And good luck on finding out what days and time she works on her site. Us guys are often left to guess and our phone calls are often ignored if we call when she is not working.

In addition most ads at escort malls do not have a link to ladies web sites. That was part of my rant. If you spent five minutes looking on Cityvibe or similar you would see that. Heck many great ladies do not even have a website to look at.

You also seem to be forgetting when I am shopping their is more than one lady to look at. There is 50 or sixty at least to look at in an escort poor environment like my home town. Some places have many more providers than that. Hunting down basic information on all of them is out of the question, but that is what you seem to think we should do.

I know, I have done the same, and I was shouting into an empty theater.

The ladies that get it,  *get it*.

The ones that don't, *don't*.

No amount of yelling, scolding, teasing, taunting, ranting, cajoliing or anything else will get the don'ts to do.

Vote with you wallet.

in the past month.  Maybe its inexperience but there are a lot of girls sites that are poorly put together, show no rates and show no pics at all.  I move on when a site doesn't tell me what i need to know.  You must be easily annoyed because  i can only find one other post in the last 30 days about this were scoed was the op.  you can always choose  to skip his post if they annoy you that easily. Or you can research what someone has already posted before calling them out for post "that annoy you".  Just my opinion.  Perhaps if you have problems posting pics then your in wrong business,  most guys will not book you sight unseen.   At least most of the guys on this board are quick to point out stolen pics using  tinyeye.  
Doc

do not put most of the info you would like to see in an ad because all of that information is on my site. For discretion purposes, I keep my ads short, sweet, and enticing. If you go to my site you will see the packages I offer, pics, a little about me, and links to reviews.

I don't think that many people want to read a 2 page ad. This is my personal reason for not re-posting the info that is already conveniently in one place (on my site).

I think some are misunderstanding what exactly I am saying I looking for some said things like "read a 2 page ad", and "write ads that rival War and Peace". Ads should be short and sweet. They should look and read like they were done by professionals. And the ad should be informative.

I am not much of a writer so I asked if I could post a link to an example of what I am talking about. I think the below ad is a perfect example of what I am talking about. I chose an ad nowhere near where I live and of a lady, do to distance, I will likely never meet to keep this from being a shill post.

Pictures- Check. Notice no face shots for privacy. Yes there is some bare breast shots but they are not mandatory. The photos got me excited. If she was in my area I would look into her.

Rates- Check. Her hourly rate is plainly posted at the bottom of the ad.

Link to reviews- Check.

Link to web site- Check.

Availability- Check.

Contact information- Check.

Short and Sweet- Check. The ad is only 7 short sentences long. It has stuff to draw you in, and all the necessary information as well. It looks professional and reads professional.

It also seemed that my OP my have annoyed some. This was not my intent. If I did annoy you, I apologize. I was just trying to give some feed back from one potential clients point of view.

But yes I am likely screaming into an empty theater. I knew that was likely the case going in. Oh well, at least I got to vent.

Apparantly, she works for the UN!  I knew it was good for something!

Just scroll down to the map.  Even an out-of-towner can figure it out!  LOL!
Apparantly she works out of the General Ass-embly!

Since, the UN building is technically international soil, prostitution would likely be technically legal there it would make for a good incall if she has enough pull to make it happen. All the better then.

Did you mean "diplomatic immunity," or was that a joke?  If so, I missed it!

The word substitution is intentional, and yes, it was intended as humor.

ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny (but you're a gynocologist from ny).  Sorry, just having fun with your handle!  LOL!
