Just wondering, if you see deposit required, and you think paying for deposits are for suckers. Why contact her.

It all depends on the provider. I've paid deposits and never had a problem, but I won't pay a deposit to just anyone.

I looked at your Tryst ad and I have to say that offering incentives for being willing to pay a deposit is an interesting concept. I don't think I've ever seen that before.  

I'm that guy who won't text, email, or call her if there is a slight hint of "Deposit Required" on her site. I'm charming and cute and all but I'm not about to woo her and waste her time and my time.  
Kinda funny thinking about it, to haggle over a deposit.

I call them carrot danglers it’s really a lame game I don’t have time for & find it rude. I’ve required a deposit to book me, since 2010. I am not going to change my rule because it works for my lifestyle. Those who will pay deposits do & those who don’t should never contact a provider who clearly states everywhere no deposit=no booking it’s disrespectful in my opinion.

I'll haggle over a deposit...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
No big deal either way for me.
In the end, I'll never pay a deposit.

I rarely contact someone that asks for one, although one time I did and just asked that the deposit not be so hefty. I could send it in good faith, but the amount was more than I was willing to send upfront. The provider in that instance was perfectly fine with the smaller deposit I offered and we had a good time.

As a rule, I don't contact providers once they mention deposit.

I allow for a $50 Amazon gift card as a booking fee. It isn't part of the donation (that's why it's a fee) and isn't refundable unless I have to cancel at the very last minute.

when you are trying to get a mule to walk towards you.  Not surprised that SOME guys have tried it with SOME providers.  Lol

It's always been burning since the world's been turning.

Entitlement that’s priceless. Is that similar to a tribute ? Call it as it really is, my God so laughable.

You really need to ask that question ? Plenty but to you it’s just money right.

Just keep in mind that there are many scammers out there making a good first or second income on other sites 25and fifty at a time and it all even exist as a provider . Some not even in this country. How many here have sent money not only for  a down payment but for gas or hotel reservation and then been ghosted?

To be honest this is your business & you can run it anyway that works best for you. I used to require a voluntary contribution of $25-$15 to be considered along with the booking details. I see why I did that because these rude people will continue to waste your time going back, and for with nothing, but wasted time. I saw a provider who requires $50 to inquire, if you pass her screening she puts it towards the session.

I have never seen a request for a $25 or $50 deposit in this realm as yet until I read this thread. To me, the site on which the girl advertises is irrelevant. I can either verify her as a legitimate, professional SW or I cant. If I cant, and I still send her money, I would be at least somewhat at fault.  
"Buyer beware" is an age old concept and one that surely works. Is it perfect? No but then again nothing in life is a guarantee.  
It seems like the people who do their due diligence here with deposits have no issues. I am just very careful to whom and how I send them.

First of all, it should be "FIRST COME--FIRST SERVED" Policy. Not a Deposit Policy.  Cause if the Hobbyist wanted the Provider, then the Hobbyist would schedule an appointment & actually show up to the appointment location.  

To be honest, it’s a little confusing. In some areas it appears to be optional, in others it seems like you’re saying it’s required.  

Kind of what I said...but I messed up the title.

So now instead of "Just moved here from Chicago and you Albany guys suck"

Thanks to the PM

for her that she is doing so well that she doesn't need my business.  Then I draw a line through her name and move on to the next name on my list.  If she doesn't respond, why should I respond back?  I have been known on occasion to beg for pussy, but I will never beg to pay for pussy.    She gets 48 hours to respond before I move on.  Agencies get one hour.  

"To all those picking apart my wording on my ad.

It wasn’t always like this though. And I am one of those no deposit people. In times past prospective escorts weren’t so much into blocking and blacklisting like they are now, and find these practices quite mean spirited save for extreme situations. And wouldn’t a casual ten minute or so conversation be a potential ice breaker? At least I would think so.

The former you could avoid by using a burner phone; the latter is definitely a real issue. I don’t trust all these digital wallets like Venmo and Zelle because there are so many scams connected to them.

If we were to boycott those who demand deposits the practice would actually end sooner or later. But today’s society doesn’t seem to possess the will for boycotting anything.

Any deposit required, and I normally go on to the next ad.  No lady is a for sure honest person unless I had a meeting with her already.  Hence I am wary of any new potential provider, and besides there are many choices.  That being said, I DID pay a deposit for a first time meeting to one provider but it was because, I was extremely wowed by her photos, description and reviews. So, in that one case I could not resist.

This part is on many clients, but we could help things along by not making date unless you are, I would say, at least 85 percent you that you can go through with it. The remaining 15 percent allows for legitimate emergencies, which can happen on either end. Maybe better to book within two days if possible.

If is see "deposit required" i just skip that provider. I've been scammed with that before. It's a fool me once sort of situation for me.

If she’s reputable & has a good reputation m, then you did your due diligence. I don’t see many providers who spent time and $ building their brand tarnishing their name for a deposit. For me it’s a quick return if I have to pass on a booking. No harm no foul. Shit happens that’s life. Here’s your money back.

I will pay a deposit for well established providers with good reputation only - like yourself. Professionalism is something I take seriously, no fake, mediocres ,or scammers - don't  have the time for that shit.
If something should come up and a cancellation is warranted ,we deal with it as per the agreement- plain and simple.
It should be the simplest understanding that cancellation or not showing up can fuck things up for either party ; the client missed out on a date or the provider could have booked someone else. So again,the suitable solution should be in the agreement .

Economically, the boycott of a product by consumers is a questionable tool to inspire change.  

I've paid a deposit exactly twice.  The first time was a legit reviewed provider and all worked out well.  The second time was a scam where my little head made me do things I shouldn't have.
