I've been hobbying since the 90s. Things are very tough now. I was in Charleston, SC in 93, and I could pick up a phone book dial a number and someone that was very appealing would be at my door in less than hour. Those days seem long gone. Now I type up a resume, try to be extremely nice in an email, in a text, on the phone, etc. only to be stood up or ignored. Man, if I wanted those problems, I'd try for a regular relationship.
I can respect that everyone is trying to be safe, but gee I've posted on ECCIE and I've seen several providers in the past. Lately, it's just a very depressing hobby.

Well, that concludes my grump.

Everyone, have a great weekend!

I agree with you. Most of these ladies need some etiquette. I have emailed and sent PMs with no response or rude responses. I feel like I am paying for special treatment I'm not rich but the money I am spending is hard earned and sometimes I feel like just giving up all together on this. Just my opinion.

I agree with u gentlemen, that is Y if I PM a provider and she doesn't respond in a reasonable amount of time I scratch her off the list. In my book if it takes a provider extremely long to respond that's like no response at all. I delete her message.It's ok to tell me ur not interested. I would rather you say that than nothing at all. Just my 2 cents of complaining.

I've just been with one provider but I wish we had more like Houston some of the women there just seem more attractive to me.

All the Eccie providers I am contacting by pm's are responding the same day, and most within an hour or two. Some times within minutes !!

Remember, if they are indy's they may have a multi-hour appointments and cannot respond quickly.

Or you aren't doing your due diligence in your research, gents.

There has been an influx of new providers and out of state providers. The reliable, local providers have all but gone, its not my place to offer a reason why. But I do have my theories.

You have been lucky then myren. I have not been so lucky. many times I have waited days for a response. Then just booked another provider. It happens way more than not. I do agree that I have seen providers in Houston and they are much more attentive to messages and your time.

Also seems like the agencies are cornering the market. I feel sorry for the indi ladies. Also all these traveling ladies are coming in and jacking up rates. In Houston and Dallas. There are many more indi providers. Buyers market. Here is more sellers market. Just economics.

I used to be a "local" for over 5 years! I did really well...I left for personal family reasons...Otherwise I would still be around.

Not ALL traveling gals are "jacking up their rates"....there are still some of us gals who offer VERY resaonable rates for wide open menus.....and there ARE still some very reputable & reasonable locals........ya just gotta research harder.........If a provider does not answer in a timely manner,try another one.Some gal will eventually "make ya a happy man"!!!

I understand that instant replies may not occur. Sometimes, I'm asked to provide references after a day or two, which I do, but still no response. It's like trying to get a job at Google for goodness sake. Getting ghosted after putting together a reference list or being stood up after taking a day off work is ridiculous, and both these things have happened.

I have scene a few providers that were courteous, highly attractive, and very warm. I'd love to make one or more regulars, but they disappear almost immediately it seems

funluv · 02-13-2016, 10:02 PM

DallasRain, I'd love to hear some of your theories if you would be willing to share. Any recommended providers would be greatly appreciated as well. PM'd of course.

Thanks for taking the time to comment as well.

funluv · 02-13-2016, 10:04 PM

Nicolet, I'd seriously like to hear some of your theories as to why reputable providers have left if you'd be willing to share. By PM of course.

Also, thanks for taking the time to post.

Definitely seems that way I need to take a trip to Houston soon.
