What is your preferred method of primary contact?

[VanessainVictoria]

Assuming the SP is open to all communication methods, which do you prefer for primary contact?

 

[grizzly]

I prefer email with a new provider as I like to introduce myself in a respectful manner, letting her know a little something about me, and offer the lady all the pertinent information she asks for. I feel that I'm limited with text. I do appreciate confirmation by phone call just to know we are both who we say we are, although this doesn't always happen.

 

[lukom]

I like initiating contact via text.

 

[oktrythis]

I prefer to talk to the lady. So much more can be discussed in a minute or two then going through the other forms of communication.

Also, verbal communications make it easy to relay your politeness, seriousness, first impression, etc, etc.

There should be a SW version because those girls don’t have phones or internet. Choices are:

1. Open the car door
2. Lock doors and crack open passenger-side window 1.5”
3. Honk
4. Park car and say hi
5. Eye contact
6. ’Come here’ hand motion
7. Flash 2 or 3 fingers to see if the nod yes or no
8. If they are ugly or weird as they approach the window, offer $10 for anal

Text.
That is the primary form of communication that is necessary to make a booking for me.

I do not ever call a provider and do not prefer to talk on the phone.

Any of the above except social media. Unless, that is, you consider PERB PMs to be social media.

Perb is unquestionably a social medium.

Email by a long shot...The regular sized keyboard on my computer and even the keyboard on my iPad sorta work for me. The damn phone is too small for my big thumbs. I also prefer to relate a 1/2 decent bio on my introduction, as well as what I am looking for. I try and keep it brief so she will take the time to read it all. This also allows total privacy on my end too, because some, if not most, ladies will text back at the most inopportune moment and my SO will ask who's that.. another one of your girlfriends. Pssssst.... hint for those that haven't discovered it yet iPhone now have "hide alert" in text messaging.

M/One... I don't consider PMs here on perb social media... I just met a great young lady on here. However O/F you might be right.

Text, or email, depending on the time frame.

I like to talk, and get a sense of temperment, pleasantness, attitude of the SP.

I'm surprised more SP's don't take that approach to get a feel for the type of person trying to book.

I agree completely. The voice tells so much more than simple text. But 90% of the time it comes down to text since that is the only option the SP allows.

+1 for this. Email for prebooking, text for same-day. Actually my preferences are
1: encrypted messenger if available
2: wechat
3: text message
4: email

Haven't called anyone on the phone in many many years :bounce:

I'm personally comfortable with doing all text, but don't mind a phone call as a requirement for finalizing a booking. I find texting perfect just to get some specifics out of the way, such as where abouts an incall may be, services and restrictions if not mentioned on the ad, as well as any personal requests I may have for consideration. Once all my questions are answered and if I know that the SP is my type then I'll book, if she wants a phone call to finalize then that's reasonable to me. Otherwise I shouldn't have to call an SP to decide if she's the right fit, gets kind of awkward ifI'm given too many restrictions and realize she's not the right fit.

Not sure why it would get awkward.

I often call to get information for a possible future booking, so if I'm not booking right then, I usually end a call with, "Thanks for the information. I don't have time right now, but I'll try to call when I have time."

No negativity, no rejection, an inoffensive way to end a convesation, and open-ended if you do want to book later.

 

[badbadboy]

It’s so rare phone calls are accepted by the SP’s now. I would if that option was available.

I typically book:

New to me SP - email or text

Repeat SP - email, text and on Twitter DM.

It gets awkward cause most SP's don't like being called to be told, "thanks, but no thanks" after everything. I personally like texting cause I can be at work, and read the reply when I have a chance and have a decision by end of the work day if I want to see the girl.
