There are other methods they could use to screen out the demographics they may not want to see (obese, unkempt, etc) that wouldn't de-anonymise either of them and would actually be faster and easier Originally Posted by GuyEatingRice
Ladies, what is the point of these silly requests: "call me first" "FaceTime me" etc. It doesn't guarantee your safety at all and all it does is de-anonymise both of you. The dude could still be a psycho nut job even if he speaks nicely on the phone. He could still be Leo even if he goes through these hoops. It's literally completely pointless.I don’t do either of these things, either, but I make it easy for women to vet me, including p411 and documented history on the boards. What are you able to provide for screening such that you are still being asked to do these things?
Also men, do not jump through these silly hoops that can screw you over in so many different ways. Let them find another job. There are more than enough that don't require this nonsense Originally Posted by GuyEatingRice

It's literally completely pointless.It can provide a more personalized and less intimidating way to connect, allowing us to assess compatibility and establish a comfortable rapport. Phone calls can also facilitate screening out incompatible individuals like yourself and save time on potentially awkward or disappointing in-person interactions.
