Hours Of Availability

I have been getting so many PM messages for playdates(as I call them)and always get asked "Can you do 3pm?" "How about noon?" or "What are your hours?" "Can I see you now?" and I am not trying to be mean but, they are listed in my signature http://eccie.net/member.php?u=51111 or just look below this posting,on my P411 https://www.preferred411.com/P57525 and in my showcase http://eccie.net/providers.php?do=view&id=51111 again, I am not trying to be mean but when I get a request like this I usually just ignore it. I have school and work that I have to attend to and can only play ~Monday-Friday(7pm-10pm) Saturday/Sunday(All Day)~ sometimes(most of the time)not even that so please understand♥
How many times do we have to have these kinds of posts? That's just the nature of the business.

I post an ad on Craigslist with every possible piece of information on an item for sale and I always (from men and women) get questions that are already answered in the post.

Do I answer them? Sometimes I say "read the posting", but if I want to make some money I do what I have to do and answer the questions again.

Do you want to make money or complain?

Also be happy you get a lot of messages, I'm sure there are some ladies here that wish they got the same kind of attention.

If I want to hear complaints I'll talk to my wife.

Unfortunately Karla, there are those who are just too damn lazy to do things in the proper manner.
Speaking for myself only...I want to state right of front I haven't been one of those guys that has called....but it's not from lack of wanting to. I simply can't play during the hours you posted in your ad.

I live so close to you (probably closer than to any provider that I know of, NB is my hometown) and it's damned frustrating that we can't get together to play based on our schedules! I'm sure the guys have read your ad, but are just hoping that you could work them into their schudule Karla. I'd most definitely take their calls as a compliment...even though it may be frustrating on your end.

I've had the pleasure of one session with you and it was great! Hopefully, we can have our second date in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not lazy, its called shopping you goof!!!

Karla, dont get offended by it, you should actually be flatered they tried, if you answered them back polietly you may build a client based freindship and actually walk away with some really good regulars.

Guys I wouldn't be afraid to ask....the worst think they could say is no.

Karla I think some of the goofs are from honest quick skimming of your sigline. From just reading this thread I at first was wondering why you were irritated. Then I slapped myself, like total fool I skimmed your hours of availability and assumed your M-F times to be 7am-10pm. The a-ha moment lol. I think most gents are accustomed to ladys having availability for am to pm for so many hours, not 3 short hot hours in the pm. So Im guessing with most of the blood flow going to the little head and the Hobby blinders on 7pm-10pm turns into 7am-10pm

Your sig states this:
~Monday-Friday(7pm-10pm) Saturday/Sunday(All Day)~

Try this Karla, it might help curb those annoying PMs

~Monday-Friday, EVENINGS ONLY(7pm-10pm) Saturday/Sunday(All Day)~

Hope that helps
Thank you Aftershock for being positive and offering advice rather than contributing to the negativityI just might do that hon.

And thanks Mokoa

I do not care who I piss off or whose wife I sound like, I am not one of these girls that take shit or kiss ass just because I am afraid of losing money or a client!! My time is valuable and I am not going to answer when somebody does not follow the "rules" and then when I do not answer they send like 3 more messages saying "what happened?" "are we still good for 3pm?" lol when we never set up anything for 3pm lol or even responded to your first message.

So many of you are quick to say "This is a businesss" well, guess what? different businesses have different rules-So research the rules before submitting about the merchandise.

JSmith2010-This is a whole lot different than Craigslist hon, and if you put on Craigslist "All information is on ad!! Please do not contact me with questions-I will not answer!! Then your problem is solved. Not all people will follow the rules-but if you tell them and let them know it is unacceptable then it just might change the outcome

I make more $$ at my 7am-5pm job!! So if I piss someone off then oh well...........I'm a smart girl

And also this thread is closed as requested.
