Ad space is limited, and providers, obviously, don't want to disclose a lot of "personal" information.

Of course, if you'd like to get to know the real me, I will share my opinions with you. But I try to be pretty..... what's the word I want to use here.... Hm... I guess I try to take your cues and be what you want me to be. I look at "my job" as being not just for your pleasure physically - but mentally as well. So if you bring up religion and you are a Christian with strong views- I will smile, nod. Not say much and probably take the conversation AWAY from religion. Same thing with politics.  

My guess is I'd get much less business.

If you gave a general hint before hooking up, you might book longer sessions with those who respond and more repeats. I tend to repeat with those who are of like minds, or even with those who disagree with me on a lot of things as long as they have an interest in the same topic. Just saying...

First, I generally have gotten to know the women I book with prior to our first meeting. This occurs through board postings, email and PM. So I've already gotten a pretty good feel for their personality, and will have a good sense for our compatibility.  Note that I probably won't have a good feel for specific believe like religious or political affiliations. But this doesn't really bother me because I like getting down another layer when we meet.  

Reading your post I am aware that it's likely that I might take some of my views TOO seriously. Maybe I should work on lightening up some. The emails and such are indeed a good way to answer a lot of these concerns. I guess I sound out a lady I've never met the same way through the flirtation process. I've canceled a couple of times when the feeling went sour, but when I feel it's going to be a good fit, the anticipation grows tremendously (rimshot).

Would be information that you would discover on a first appointment or even after a few appointments.  I don't see any woman getting in to political or religious views in an ad or even here on the boards to be honest.  Of course, I wouldn't think that those views would need to be in the forefront of conversation during an appointment unless one of you was crazy enough to go there. If she goes there she's not a very smart provider (no matter how well educated she is) and if you do it's just asking for trouble.

Clients' desire to know ahead of time if we are compatible takes a backseat to my privacy. I don't even show a single photo on my site, except to verified clients.  
 
I lie about little things in my bio...where I'm from, what I do for a living...to put some distance between my stage name and the real "me". So that if my family/friends/coworkers ever read my site again, they won't be like, "Wow, that really sounds so much like [[my name]]."
 
I lie to clients a little (not the ones I trust) for exactly the same reasons...some of those little details I told former clients made their way into reviews and even board posts, and that made plausible deniability pretty much impossible when my cover was ultimately blown.
 
I'm sure I make less money than I would if I were more forthcoming about interests in my personal life...especially those that I'd likely hold in common with prospective clients. My website bio is all of two paragraphs, and I'm sure that seems inadequate to some.  
 
BUT there are some clients who understand why I'm so private...and it seems to resonate with them. They WANT to see a girl who has a life to protect, and isn't hanging it all out there so that she can get the maximum possible amount of 30-min quickies.  
 
I AM well-educated. However, I don't say anything of the sort on my website. I let my writing style and presentation - both on my site and in emails - make that statement for me. Personally, tho...my field of study has nothing to do with my real-life interests, and I can't see any point in stating it on a website (or anyplace else). My line of work is very nerdy and would not be interesting to most people. My passionate interests ARE more relatable, but, as I said above, they'd make me very identifiable were I ever to be outed again.
 
Put yourself in our spot. How would you feel if [[insert provider name here]] posted that she'd seen WickedBrut, who lived in XXX town and had a sailboat docked in XXX, who'd just returned from XXX country, and brought a bottle of his favorite wine, XXX, to the date? You'd probably not be able to sleep.    

So I'm not sure they'd be all about banging a pinko on the reg.

And yes, an overnight with a first date is a little risky. I was aware of that at the time, but thought that the risk element made it more exciting. So, I went into with my eyes open, and knowing that it would be whatever it turned out to be. So I can't complain.

some things are just none of your fucking business.

If you added that response to your sie, it would tell me all I need to know.

I definitely perceive my duty to be more than just making you get off and get out. Of course, that is all some want, and for those that is what I give. But for those who want more- I definitely try to be more for them. I guess I kind of look at my job as a form of therapist. I wasn't able to really put the approach into words, until I saw American Courtesan. There is one part of the movie, where one of the ladies is talking about her client that was sick in some way- and that the other ladies (I guess she worked at a Brothel) Made fun of her for it, and she said no- she took it very seriously, because he couldn't get that elsewhere, and that she really made love to him. That is where I draw my inspiration from. I guess its because I come from being a sugar baby to doing this. And my relationships with my various sugar daddies were very deep and complex.  

Seeing your pictures and reading your reviews I'd still see you if you had a swastika on your panties and quoted from "Mein Kampf" all night!

I'd call up my fellow class mates from grad school.  
Unfortunately none of them are good looking enough for me to sleep  with.  They are also much older now,  nerds,  and out of shape than I'd prefer.  

Good $.02. I read that and you kept my interest. I'd be happy to read any bios you write.

Accurate photos,  menu, and body size are all I care about,  At least for initial visit.  
Once she becomes a favorite then I start getting more interested in her thoughts likes favorite sports what she does for fun etc.  

To me that swerves it into the realm of art. Therapy works too. Beats a shrink. Like music lifts my mood more than antidepressants. Anyway, you benefit in your approach and no doubt receive more than material gain from your giving more than... Whatever. I like your approach.

There's two ways to look at what is personal.

is often a recipe for disappointment.

I don't want to debate, I just get the creeps screwing a woman who in another setting would usher me into a gas chamber.

you won't find many of us who are down with queers other than the guys who like trannies. we don't hate them, we simply don't think about them. we look the other way and to each their own but if you expect us guys to cheer on the gays, you probably should hit a gay bar instead of ter.

I knew I liked you for a reason

We'd see eye to eye on many issues.  Perhaps we will discuss them one day.

it sure beats telling us it's none of our fucking business which doesn't give me goose bumps all over.

and she turns into godzilla-ess? I like feisty women but when they go BSC over an innocent comment, it's time to run for the door. fast!

OK...here's YOUR OP.  Lets' look at it together.

Thanks!  

And I prefer to see the real woman, not a facade.  I'm not expecting you to be my SO, but I would like to have you really present and not some act that you think that I'm looking for.  This isn't just an anatomy exercise, your brain is your largest sex organ, too.  I'd like access to that, for a short time.

I'll take a wild guess and say that you didn't discuss homosexuality  LOL

ah, I totally agree.  It's none of our business.  

And keyword = boys. Men are secure enough that they can advocate for the gays and not feel like their own sexualities are being threatened. Anyone who is turned off/scared by my queer advocacy can suck my proverbial dick, because I'm not gonna be sucking theirs. The queers are my life.  

And eventually he'll find that what you wrote here is the best possible scenario in this world.

Well educated with honors...  
Anything with the word Cum in it.  Lma

Intolerance has been a part of humanity since the dawn of man.

If Brut likes my political views he may want a lunch with me.

None of the info I used to share was very personal...just average conversational stuff I might bring up with any random acquaintance.

a cost of doing business. No girl thinks she will ever be exposed when she enters this business....but I actually know more women who have been 'outed' than haven't.

All I want is the Standing O when I'm done and it's all good !!

"Well educated" is a term, I admit, that grates on me personally. This is because nowadays, a lot of people get degrees primarily as work papers. Maybe you feel it's snobbish to think of education as providing a broader understand of such outmoded things as what was once called the humanities, cored with some particular interest, a science perhaps, education, or even one of the fine arts. In days of yore, people used to get such degrees, and with studying these fields came particular ways of seeing the world. Granted, a pussy is a pussy is a pussy and a pussy by any other name is still a pussy, still, even on an hour blow 'n' go it can be sort of nice feeling some like-mindedness with your partner. But today, "well educated" applies to anyone who can balance their checkbook and read a loan application. There are still a lot of people who seriously study a field with the idea of going into it and actually doing something. Is there a difference between someone who has studied pharmacology and someone who has studied history? In my book yes, and I would feel more comfortable with one than the other. True for everyone? Maybe not. I know very little about pharmacology, and as such could not discuss it to any meaningful degree. If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If it does, it does.

half of the ladies would dissagree with my opinions on politics.
Yet if the topic never comes up, it will be completely irrelevant, have no impact on our time together.
If a lady is so strident with her opinions that she feels the need to publically state them and is on the opposite side from me, then no, I won't consider pursuing a date with her.  Absolutely no reason to.  Especially, when she uses loaded language in judgement of those who may be on the other side.  Too many great ladies I can see and have a wonderful time with, without the initial bad vibe.

And I really don't want to go into it again. Just take my word for it, there are ways to express who you are without telling people anything about your family, career, home life, or anything else you want to keep private.

Whether they AGREE or not isn't the issue. That the topic doesn't come up doesn't mean it's not there, not a factor. In normal times there is no reason (or less of a reason) why it should be of any importance. We're not living in normal times, and as a very brilliant playwrite once said, "Things will never get back to normal."

I've always felt that the best writing includes lots of tangible details rather than abstract statements. For example, "My most recent trip was to XXX country where I challenged myself to an adventure trek. Past destinations have included, XXX, XXX, and XXX, where I served as a XXX for three years." rather than "I am well-traveled." Or, "I cycle 10 miles along the Pacific coast daily and am a four-year student of XXX type yoga" rather than "I exercise regularly and keep in good shape"

Well, when it comes up in the context of how they choose to present themselves then it could be an issue to me.  Maybe this wouldn't be relevant to you.  Your call.  I work and socialize with people with all different kinds of opinions, including long term friendships with those with different political opinions. We respect each other and mostly stay off those topics.  If I can manage to stay off these topics with such friends I've known for years - not to mention with most every other person I encounter during my day - why shouldn't I have the expectation that I could avoid potentially contentious subjects in a two hour play date?  This is supposed to be all about FUN.  Now if I'm pursuing a serious relationship with a lady, then yes, of course I'm interested to know what she thinks about anything.

So I don't bother getting into political arguments with them. Don't get me wrong, verbally debating a woman is a real turn on, but I know the ladies take it more personally and get out of the mood.

It's spelled IRONY!!!!

You could start a new on-line service to match up providers and hobbyists similar to E-Harmony or Match.com.

I've benn toying with a similar idea; sounding out a couple of providers and masseuses on ideas for a different kind of meet and greet. I picture people of like mindedness gathering to just mingle and chat over complimentary wine in a large rented space with a few planned activities involving improvised "games." Abstract sound-and-movement encounters (both group and 1 on 1), mutual non-sexual massage, trust exercises, and tarp or tent private rendezvous spaces where they can talk and get to know each other, as well as group activities and non-talk expressions. No nudity, but sensual. Phone numbers and email addresses would be exchanged, hopefully, and arrangements made of whatever sort they wanted.
