return calls

That's what email is for. I never call a man until we have arranged a specific time for me to do so via email; anything else is highly unprofessional and indiscreet because he has a life I might otherwise be intruding upon. Originally Posted by AngelOK

When I contact a lady via phone and have to leave a message then I always let them know they can call me back at any time. We all have our reasons for preferring a particular way of communicating

You should contact the local BBB. I once had a similar problem with an establishment I wanted to buy a tire from. One call to the local BBB and problem solved. Of course, "better business" and Louisiana may be an oxymoron.

However, if you're really steamed, here's another option.

I always return emails asap...so much so, that I am the one waiting on THEM to get back to me. In this business it is imperative to have a Blackberry or Iphone so you can return emails even from class. My response time is normally about 10 min. if I am awake and not on a date.

As for phone calls, I don't deal with them which is why I list no number on the net. If a guy emails me and just says "Call me" with no references, that call will NOT be made. I don't make cold calls or fish for business, and find it tacky to do so. I also find it risky to call someone without first emailing and asking if it is still a good time to do so. You never know if a guy's boss or wife could be with him an hour after he told you to call him, so I double check.

I have no reason to talk on the phone unless you've been screened and we have an appt set up...

I know that may sound bitchy, but the fact is the majority of the calls I get are from guys who "Are wondering if I'm available tonight"...If you want to know my availability then check my bloody schedule! Furthermore, I will not be available to anyone who hasn't been screened...So emailing me with the info I require will get you a lot further than a phone call from a complete stranger...

What about the ladies who state they need 24hr notice in their ads & site? that means dont expect a phone call back right away.

Email is becoming the only way to contact a lady because of the
"Hi are you available?" phone calls and "Whats your rate" from strangers

I now have a private number too- only given out after screening

Guys, you might have to get use to it. Its not because we have a
attitude.. its for our safety and sanity.

I agree with most ladies form of communication. I hate talking on the phone, even in my real life. I'm a dick on the phone even when I use it for personal use. I'd rather email or text. Pefer to text because I don't have email on the phone.

This thread inspired me to change my voicemail...Now it says, "Please note, if you have not emailed me the information I require, I will not be returning your phone call, Thanks!"

@Valerie, Naomi, London, Cristy, Megan & others:

Why don't you start listing a "Super Fast Screening Hotline" (the number being the local vice desk)? Word would get around you are serious about this stuff.
