Once again to clarify the thread Question which I thought was perfectly clear.I have listed "convo" in previous reviews. Some people are interested in seeing it there, some don't care.
The thread topic is "What is the point to including Convo as a review activity?

It can be helpful if you are someone that looks for communication as a turn on, for business & formal engagements or just simply something you both enjoy during your interludes.... besides watching the paint peel.
It goes without saying that anyone booking a provider for a business engagement or formal evening event would definitely want to know about conversation skills. Think about certain provider posts you have read and consider taking such a poster to a business event! It could have all the makings of a good comedy, and funny to everyone except you.
That said, I understand Cody's point -- why list conversation? Especially because anyone can claim it, and it has so many dimensions and means so many different things. I much prefer to notice that the woman is a good conversationalist -- in my judgement, with respect to the dimensions I care about -- by examining her posts. (And that, gentlemen, is one big reason why I much prefer when these boards are friendly to the ladies -- I want to encourage their posts, to see how they communicate and decide for myself. Put differently, I want to judge the 'book' by the words as well as the pictures -- lol.) Originally Posted by davidsmith0123

If it were up to me, i'd take a provider to dinner before a session just to get to know her first, but since that's fiscally unlikely, a few minutes of conversation is quite welcome Originally Posted by BePrepared
