So what YOUR saying is, that a woman you've never conversed with, thus don't know jack shit about. Has a bad attitude, because YOU personally don't like how she screens??
And thus because YOU don't like her screening. She's all about money. Even when her screening, declines men (thus declining $$$$) who don't meet her screening requirements. She's s still about money/?
And no where would you ever consider the fact that she gives a damn about her safety and that she might be selective in whom she wants to spend time with.
So to wrap it up. You don't like the way a lady screens and you automatically judge her to have a bad attitude and that she's all about money.
Nice to know that's it OK for you to judge women who put safety first!!

Maybe the "bitchy attitude" isn't the best analogy to make; however, I've seen ads/webpages for a lot of providers who put so many hoops in front of a perspective client, I just wonder why a guy would even bother. There are sometimes I even wonder if providers know what they are asking guys to give them in order to get screened. I see it all the time on certain providers' ad/webpages. Providers need to realize the following:
1-- Some guys don't have business phone number. Some work out of the home or on a personal cell phone. Others have direct lines. Others may have a business that does not permit incoming calls or incoming personal calls. If you do call a place of employment, you don't know who's answering the phone. Every hear of office gossip? Even "innocent" sounding calls can start rumors. Finally, there are some guys whose place of employment is best not called. Bottom line, using any sort of employment related information for screening just won't fly for a lot of potential clients. If a provider I want to see insists on some form of information coming from my place of employment, I will pass on her.
2-- I think most guys feel very uncomfortable in providing our full names. This is an anonymous hobby. There is a whole host of reasons NOT to give this information. If you want my real name, tell me your real name.
3-- Phone number, again this falls into being an anonymous hobby. I'll give you my hobby number, but that's all.
For the most part, a lot of this screening information is very sensitive and private to us guys. Giving out this information really opens us up to a host of potential nasty things.
About all I'm willing to give a provider are references, my hobby e-mail, my board names, my hobby phone #, and P411 info (via P411).
That was part 1 of what portrays a provider of possibly having a "shitty attitude". The other is some of things she puts in her ad or website. Granted, this can be subjective but can be best summed up the following way. "Everything you need to know is in my ad or on my website. Don't bother contacting me with questions." Again, this may be a broad generalization but can imply the provider has no desire to interact with clients/potential clients and could be an indicator of a "shitty attitude".
All I'm trying to do is answer the OP's original question. For me, attitude start with first contact/first impressions. For the most part that is going to be seeing a provider's ad and/or website. Of course most ad/websites try to portray the provider in a positive light in order to attract clients, but by reading between the lines on some of the info, one might be able to glean a little info about the provider's potential attitude. Like I said, I'm not opposed to screening.
Considering I read & replied to the thread you commented in about getting through screening or excuse me, not getting screened at all by bullshitting your way around it, I gotta do this:
What is it with your issues with screening?? I simply don't understand. Any honest & real hobbyist knows that this is just part of hobbying. Of course, we expect you to be screened & if that means 'jumping through hoops' to see us, then so be it. If the gentleman wants to see the lady bad enough, he'll comply....or he'll shell out the $30-40 per month for a screening service.
Expecting a hobbyist to supply pertinent information for screening is not having a "shitty attitude", for petes sake! We're trying to be SAFE!
Oh, and only being in it "for the money"...what the hell do you think we're in it for? You clearly have no idea the "hoops" we have to jump through as the one supplying the service. If there was another industry where I could make the amount of money I make as a provider, I'm there!
I love my job for more than just the money, BUT it has also helped me pay off 40K in college loans that I wouldn't have been able to pay otherwise.
Sheesh!

As stated above, I'm not opposed to screening-- just screening that requires too much personal information that I'm unwilling to give up.
Umm, yeah I know you are in it for the money, but there are some providers who actually enjoy having fun and don't see it as just a job. Believe it or not, there are some providers who see it as only a job. I'm not trying to mean; just stating a fact. I'm sure you are not one who thinks it is just a job.
