Screening

Screening one’s clients is the first line of defense against scams, LE, violence and many other undesirables. Although it can be unnerving to clients it is, unfortunately, a necessity. Without it, many more of us would simply disappear, be robbed, raped, or be victims of other violent crimes. Women are 10 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime. The reasoning behind screening is very serious and as much as clients will poo-poo the idea, without screening info, I don’t see anyone and recommend that no other escort sees clients without it either.

If you are a client and you don’t think you should be screened then you should ask that mother of 3 in Colorado how that works out for her…oh wait, she disappeared and has never been found.

One of my best resources for screening tools, help, advice, camaraderie, and the most comprehensive blacklist out there is www.dangerzone411.com
Dangerzone 411 is a community of escorts(over 3000 of them) that have come together to help keep each other safe.

Along with screening, there are other safety tips that not only escorts should be aware of but all women.

I usually try to keep my writings light and not rant, bitch or complain much but today I couldn’t help myself. I have received several emails with just a name and a phone number. Oh Yay! I utilize the “delete” button if not reply with a smart ass answer. Not only are they one line emails that have no personality to speak of, now the fools want me to call them. I know they didn’t care to read my website so if they don’t care to read, I don’t care to speak to them.

Why I hate the phone or my aversion to it:

1. Inappropriate Questions-I’m not going to talk about sex, acts, or money, so what else is there but to get screening info and talk about scheduling or where to meet for dinner?

2. Heavy Breathers-I’m just not very good at that whole phone sex stuff. I tried it in college and even then I got paid for it!

3. Being asked to describe myself- Now, this one kinda cracks me up. Didn’t they get the phone number from an ad or my website in the first place? I even had a few ask my stats, yes, they said stats. Ads are for advertising, I’m not about to go into some sales rap about myself. Some may see this as a missed opportunity but then again, those questions only lead to # 1 and #2 anyway.

4. Time is of the Essence There is nothing wrong with a friendly chat or getting know know someone for a few minutes but some people would literally try to keep me on the phone for over an hour. This just took up most of my time and I couldn’t get anything done! Some just like to waste time anyway and never book an appt.

5. I ask the questions here I can’t very well book an appt with no screening info. It says I screen on my ads, WTF?

So, in conclusion, I don’t post a phone number anymore. Its email only and I do give a private number out to those visiting me so they can call when they arrive. Its the first time inquiries that I don’t use the phone for.
