No Texts

I make it pretty clear when my number is given to someone that in order to reach me you have to call because a) I'm not one to make small talk with strangers over text, b) you are a stranger to me until I say otherwise, and c) texting takes the intelligence out of a conversation when you can't even read their intentions without all the childish LOL and emojis globbing up the work. Generally this is well understood and clear. Why do some guys still feel it's correct etiquette to text a provider?

Because most of us guys aren't looking for small talk when we text it's literally just to see if a provider is available and if we can set up an appointment.

Who is to say you are correct? Do you define hooker etiquette?

I Don't define Hooker etiquette it's called phone etiquette. As I stated before I MAKE IT CLEAR TO NOT TEXT ME when I'm making an acquaintance so if the fact that I may or may not know what hookers ask for in terms of common sense and respect needs to be drawn out in pictures for the literacy challenged I'll be sure to do so in the future. By the way, is it a hookers etiquette to try and diss someone just to gain attention in a thread?

I don't know, it is undefined in the hooker etiquette manual.

I agree very much, My ex used to abbreviate everything and came off as retarded when she'd text.
I detest learning a new language that is not as useful as the language I already know.

Unless a provider specifically states not to text her, then what is the problem. Personally I detest texting, but then I am not 20 something and that seems to be the preferred way for the generation to communicate. I don't however presume that how I feel is the same for everyone else.

Texting a whole drawn out conversation isn't something I like. But a short ping to see if their phone is on seem less obtrusive than calling and expecting a girl mid blow job to pick up.

A2theb2thec??....

I prefer texting for a few reasons (I don't always have the ability to answer my phone right when someone calls, I've got hearing loss so a lot of times the dude on the other end of the phone sounds like he's talking to me from the bottom of a pool, it's a lot easier to discretely text when friends/family are around than it is to have a phone conversation, etc.) but I also explicitly say to text on most of my ads. If a lady says explicitly not to text or to call her, then I think texting is a bit of a faux pas and I can understand how that would get pretty frustrating. I have the same frustration when guys call me and I spend the entire conversation having to guess at what's being said.

there is no doubt texting is easier for touching base.
no rush to get to the phone, you can carry on a conversation while you do other stuff.
BUT
same as with a voicecall, how well it goes depends on the other end
do they convert all words into LEET? do they know how to use correct spelling and grammar?
some folks just *sigh*

As previously demonstrated texting and PMs show what was said in the event of conflict. And conflict will occur, won't it? Even magically!
(Name withdrawn) for example prefers texting. She will talk the talk through text, then when the envelope hits the table, the conversation suddenly changes! Pros and cons to everything. I like having a record. Even if it hurts.

I generally text after screening to firm up details of the date. I let the hobbyist initiate since I wouldn't want to catch him at a bad time. I also like to text a face picture or two, since I don't advertise my face for privacy reasons.

Proper English is always appreciated. Lol, I got a kick out of the text example posted above. Thankfully, I have never had the displeasure of dealing with that sort of thing personally.

Exactly. Texting is one tool. It serves a useful purpose for quick comms. But if someone says "don't text", there are other options. Why go out of the way to annoy someone on first contact.

If she says "No text", don't text. If she says "Please text", text.
If she says "No calls", don't call. If she says "Please call", call.
It's not that hard.

There's a reason my phone has Kik, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Skype, Hangouts, SMS, ECCIE PM, and Google Voice. However she wants to communicate, I'll make it happen.
