Along Dawg's line of thought, I've often thought about wearing a t-shirt saying "Interested? Just ask for my number!" I imagine the shirt would be threadbare before I got any offers.
Ok, I gotta share my two cents here.
Honestly, I don't see the point of guys posting threads asking who is interested in seeing them. That is why we run ads after all. So it stands to reason that any lady who is running ads, has reviews, etc, would be happy to see you. If connecting with a lady is as difficult as some men make it out to be, well, perhaps you are calling the wrong ladies.
Hugh - to respond to your point about asking questions over the phone, I'm going to be blunt. Any woman who answers explicit questions is clueless and begging to be arrested at some point. Further, it makes you sound like LE. For my part, even if you aren't LE, I still don't want to see a man who asks those questions. Eventually you are going to talk yourself right into a pair of handcuffs, and I don't want you having already seen me when that happens. That is what reviews are supposed to be for - to answer those questions before you contact a lady, and save you from having to incriminate yourself or her.
Guys, keep it simple. You are overthinking this. Check reviews, contact well reviewed ladies with reputations for punctuality and professionalism, and you will save yourself alot of headaches. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh

Ok, I gotta share my two cents here.Stacy, no problem, blunt is fine ... unless trying to cut steak! I agree with what you said above. Whenever I've seen you over the years, for instance, it was just a simple phone call. That's the way it should be if everything were perfect in this area of life. However, I think the issue happens mainly when guys are fishing on BP for ladies who have little in the way of background information. Someone has specific desires, limited resources, and wants to zero in. But you're right, requests for specific information will make a lady as uptight as a turkey at a turkey shoot, and understandably so in this world.

Originally Posted by KCQuestorAgain, as Q mentions, many guys have specifics they are looking for and don't want to waste funds and time just to find out face to face that what they desire isn't on the menu. Some guys, though, have more general wants and have a broader range of what's OK for them. A gent who absolutely has to have a TV dinner with green beans should check the package to make sure it's included before checking out. If there's no indication on the package, or if the packaging merely suggests there might be green beans, he will likely not be happy at dinner. The guys just want to minimize their disappointments and maximize their successes, though life happens like false advertising and YMMV. The ladies want the same min/max, while LE may be falsely advertising themselves as potential clients.
