The reason why I stopped taking phone calls is because I noticed that most men don't know how to start a phone call with a lady to get the best results. Here's a list of things you need to remember.
-Before you call DO YOUR RESEARCH. Most ladies don't talk on the phone concerning price and activities. The prices are usually on the website, and if you think with your big head through the text of her ad/website, what she does is pretty apparent. Unless she doesn't have a website or information on her ad, do not use calling as a means of getting information. If you can't view the website on the PC you're on, or you're in a hurry, please send an email.
-When you do call, INTRODUCE YOURSELF, and for an added measure, tell her where you saw her ad, and that you're calling to make an appointment. Even if she answered the phone all dry, that should put her in a better mood. At that point, you should have references all ready to go for when she asks.
Don't lead the conversation with "I saw you on the internets", "Them's some nice....", "Can you be ready by...", "All I got is..." or "Do you do..." and things should go a bit smoother.
**Addendum** If you see on her ad that screening is required, and you know you don't want to be screened, or your screening information won't add up to a hill of beans. DON'T CALL. No amount of negotiation or telling her you're not a cop is going to make her see you.
Happy hunting!

I have, unfortunately that some women prefer some "private" matters be discussed via pm. Others, email, and still others on phone. You see, I always let her know via pm AND phone that im not sure of all that can be discussed when, where and how much. This is only mentioned to a woman whom I've not had the pleasure of visiting yet. There again, I've found that it depends on the individual. I am ALWAYS honest and upfront to a tactful and tasteful point. I might be a man, but even I know where the "Tact line" is. LOL!!( That was a shot at myself.).
Again, for ME, its sort of an "ice breaker" thing for me and hopefully for her too. Same reason I prefer multi hour visits. So we relax as much as possible, put down SOME of our guards and enjoy one smothers company that much more.
Also, since I posted this thread, I have realized that most womens initial contact with a hobbyist is nerveracking for her too. I understand and respect that. The end of initial phone convo is when I ask if I can call her again. I also ask where her and I can discuss aspoke FEW general particulars(NO MONEY)
so we BOTH know that we're on the same page. The 2ndsame phone call is very relaxed and calming.
If she chooses to not answer any questions thru any method of communication(like what part of town she's in, in case I need to get a room, or a meeting time) then she just helped me make my final de vision. Of she's gonna be THAT private, then im assuming it might be a setup.
As far as the responses......I appreciate and value them very much. I have learned quite alot here, on the ECCIE boards and from some of the providers I have visited.
Thanx again.
I think maybe I should have been clearer with my question/concern. My apologies.
Thanx again ladies. I really DO appreciate your input.
Y'all take care.
