Hobbyist & Providers we both want quality!

[cordell]

I have recently spoke to two providers who were new to the area and left after only 24 hours. I've noticed that the quality of providers is getting very slim. These two ladies mentioned low ballers, and absolutey disrespectful men. Most of these issues came from backpage customers. I haven't been a huge contributor to this sight, but that will change. We should use this forum more than we have, to assist ourselves and our providers to come to Greenville,SC and know there's real men with real money for real providers. Lowball a crack-ho, if that's your thing, but quality should count for something. Let's support this wonderful system so it can support us. QUALITY DOES MATTER!!!

I concur

[Arigato24]

Agreed. I've been lurking a lot and not active in the scene due to work issues.

Hey there Cordell,

I spend 2-3 days a week in Gville with my incall..........your assessment is fairly accurate but it is a little more complicated by the limited amount/quality of advertising venue available for the area. Greenville is not really on the radar for higher end advertising therefore we all seek out what is available for us as a result we are all lumped together and those who peruse the ads for the most part are not of a mindset to differentiate. I am definitely not judging those other advertisers, I am in no position to judge anyone in any fashion. A little more complicated by the fact that the vast majority of those seeking the offerings have little experience with anything more so they can be a little difficult to deal with (putting it mildly and politely). I have been fortunate in that I have met some wonderful clients and we get along famously but there is a lot of chafe to go through to get to the good ones.............Suzee

Well said Cordell. These forums are intended to give providers a better place & way of advertising than sites like Backpage and even some level of obtaining references on the guys here. For guys, reviews usually tell what we need to know and the bad providers, rip offs, etc can be weeded out with better particiapation here.

[Tylor]

You are dead rite about guys needing to get on forums and support us ladies. I have not seen much positive input about the whole north west side of the state. When I have mentioned it on other forums the majority of the response was people telling me the hobby scene sucks and to go somewhere else.

If there is someone you would like to see, tell her! I get people asking me about different locations a good bit. Once I get enough to justify a trip I'll go. I'm sure there are other ladies who do the same thing.

And that is where the problem lies with traveling ladies. I know it is a business per se, but if someone does not a least try to stop 1 time in an area through their travels, it makes it tough for both parties to get to know someone.

Of course, you have the unexpected come up. A lady might have 5 prebooks, gets to the location.... then BAM, 2 or 3 cancel for valid reasons, then what does the lady think? I am sure that leaves a bad taste in her mouth so to speak.

I have asked ladies to stop by and visit on their way through my part of the country as they head to their destination but to no avail.

Hit and miss i say..

You're right it is a business, we cant invest the money it takes to travel without some sort of assurance that we will make the money back. It's one thing if you're going to be passing through anyway or if it's an area that's big enough that you're confident you will get the bookings. There are a lot of places that either don't have a great reputation or they're just smaller and it is too much of a gamble to go. We have no reason to take the risk of going to a smaller town without guarantees when there are so many places we know we could go and do very well. That's just good sense, I know it sucks for the people that live there but you can't really blame us.

[suzee]

I agree with you 100% and I am not sure that Greenville would be in my sights as a travel location, it has taken me a while to build into a regular 2-3days a week in call there even then with the usual things that can go wrong it can be a little dicey income wise but it is certainly a relief to get away from Atlanta. My travels to other areas are based solely on demand out of financial necessity no matter how much fun I have "if it doesn't make money it doesn't make cents".

[DMLawPro]

Well then, it is settled. Suzee comes down from Greenville, Tylor comes up from Charleston. Which means I will be stuck in the middle with both of them....

Ummm... I like that.

No seriously, I understand the Providers side of the equation and respect your thoughts and decisions and I appreciate the dialogue. Unfortunately, some of us gents are left out because of past behavior of a town/city, etc.

Guess Ill have to make a road trip!

Thanks Ladies...... Hope to meet your acquaintances in the near future....

Problem solved for the Provider. What happens if she only collects 1 prebook with a deposit and decides the trip is cancelled.

How would the deposit be returned?

Just askin'

[suzee]

I have even had offers to provide deposits as an incentive for me to travel out of my way, but looking at all angles objectively and not trying to be greedy it just seems that problems could ensue. Things happen, I recently had to cancel a number of bookings from Atlanta to Michigan because of vehicle issues that could not be resolved. Other problems with another vehicle similarly caused me to delay and alter travel through Tennessee and Kentucky. I really just do not want anyone to think badly of me and have any doubts at all because of unexpected events. In other words if anything can go wrong it will so I plan for worst case scenario.

I spent 3 years in Greenville and did really great! But it does get HOT like BACON sometimes, so be careful ladies with outcalls. And they were higher end locations it happened.

I had a private incall there.

If all goes well, I also will be attentive more on the Carolina Board as I return home for the Holly-days hopefully for good in the next couple weeks and am looking at an awesome neighborhood on the NE side of Cola-town...

Wish me luck (hope I'm not threadjacking)...

[FoxyNC]

It isn't about greed, it's called "the cost of doing business" or "overhead."

Just as many companies require a "card on file" or "deposits"- a true professional should have the capabilities to retain her costs, prior if she can.
Without this method, I am sure many would not tour, which would be a loss fr both providers and hobbiests.

Just my two cents.

Well, if "she" were "me"- I typically use Paypal to collect my deposits, and there's a Reverse transaction option, if I should choose to do so.
Wherever the money came, it could be promptly returned from "Fox Services."
