Really, hm, perhaps I should have a word with them. Can you please forward their contact information.
That is funny and all but you didn't answer my question. You just asked another one.
So I will ask again;
My question now is, why can't you just say there are choices, this is what I do? Instead of calling my clients losers, weak and betas.
First, let me say that I've been at many low points in my life where I have experienced violence from other people, and I have also been robbed and scammed (not by an SPs by the way), and I too have discovered that people I thought I knew were not who I thought they seemed, and I won't go into details about it here. My main point here is that I can appreciate your apprehension about meeting new clients in this business because there are indeed a lot of bad people out there that will try to hurt you or mess with you for fun.
However, I should remind you that you're operating an illegal business and like it or not, that means there is a high probability you're going to encounter shady characters. Speaking for myself, I'm not one of them, and there's no way I can know if I can trust an SP either if I meet her for the first time. For that reason, I have no inclination to divulge my own personal info as part of a screening process because just like you have no way of knowing whether the guy that walks through the door is a psycho, neither can I be sure that I won't be blackmailed or scammed. If you are that worried about your safety, I would suggest changing professions because to be honest, this is like a drug dealer crying about occupational hazards. I know I come off like an asshole saying that last bit but it's kind of true, you have to admit.
That being said, no one on TERB is telling you to stop screening or lower your prices. You have already repeated ad nauseum that "we" (since you like to group all TERBites into one category after your bad experiences) are not your target clientele, and obviously you have no shortage of clients so you're definitely not hurting financially, so what problem do you have with users on these forums advising others to avoid paying a premium or giving out personal information? Since it doesn't affect your business, why do you care what we say? I think the concern in the community is that screening, deposits, and inflated prices will become the norm, which is why these topics keep coming up on the forums. In that case, the risk would fall solely on men, and as long as prostitution is illegal (or more specifically - paying for sex is illegal) I think it's just as unreasonable as asking you to take on all the risk yourself. But let me repeat, that I nor anyone else on this forum care about your personal business model. Do what works for you. No one in this thread has told you not to screen.
Furthermore, I think it is naive that some women believe that clients who can afford to (or are willing to) spend a lot of money (vs. us brokeass losers) are somehow less likely to be bad or dangerous people. Likewise, I'm almost 30 and the indy market is all but closed off to me not only because I personally refuse to screen/deposit, but also because lots of SPs have this absurd idea that once you hit 30 you become a rich guy in a suit with a Mercedes Benz and you become significantly more mature, classy, responsible, courteous, whatever, than you were at 29 or 28 etc.
Bottom line is, nobody here cares how you operate your own business. No one said as much. What drew negative attention to you was that you and a number of other "high end" indy SPs constantly jeer at the users of these forums on social media. That is your right as well, but don't play the victim when the guys you call "cheap losers" and "slobbyists" get mad about the torrent of insults and disrespect. And by the way, for a "slobbyist" forum, the tone of discussion here is much more civil than on twitter.
Couple of points.
1. We as independent escorts are not running an illegal business at all. I even pay taxes on my work as an escort. It is you guys who are illegally purchasing sex. There is a big difference. I should not be forced to deal with certain people in my legitimate and legal job.
2. Some men are not telling us to lower our rates and how to screen or not screen at all, etc. SOME men. But others are. And what men are saying is that escorts like me should not be seen at all because of my policies for keeping safe. Not because I use false pics or my service is crap. Simply because I ask for a real phone number and not a text app, I should have no clients at all. Even though for next, you come to my personal private home and get more personal info about me then I do you. That is the issue.
3. I agree that men are afraid and that is what drives these threads. Of course this is going to be become a norm. It already has. For indies and as far as rates are concerned, guys need to be prepared that all prices are going to rise over the next couple of years. Minimum wage has gone up, costs have gone up so rates are going to go up. That is just called inflation. We all have to deal with it.
4. I don't call men who choose not to screen, pay a deposit or to pay above a certain amount slobbyists or losers or cheap. Those words don't leave my mouth ever, yet I am called names and my clients are called names. I post in these threads all the time. Not to tell men what they should do(even though I am told all the time) but to help men understand that they don't have to paint us all with one brush and I constantly get tons of insults and disrespect.
5. Agism - it is more to do with maturity then money and there has to be a cut off age at some point. 29 yo will always say they are close enough to 30 but we drop it down to 29, then 28 yo will say they are no different then 29 yo. It will never end. So yes, a cut off needs to be made.
And for me, my kids are grown. I don't want to fuck a person the same age as my kids. Proof that not everything is for the reasons to you think.
I have heard your side (client side) and I agree there are risks and I agree you should what you can to minimize that risk for yourself. But some men are telling us what to do, what rates to have (higher or lower, we shouldn't be told either), telling us how to screen, and if we don't listen, they tell men not to see us, they call other men names who happen to my clients. I will stick up for my clients and all clients really if they are right. And I will equally tell escorts when they are wrong. Including calling out women who steal deposits. People like squeezer can testify to my doing so.
You are right to choose what YOU want to do, you (in general, not you specifically) are not right for calling other men weak, losers, or betas. And I equally agree that men who choose a budget should not be called cheap. There are some of us in the middle of both sides and it seems we suffer the most from these threads.
I hope that helps you understand a third side to this equation. Thank you for your respectful post that leads to an actual discussion on the matter. It has even helped me decide to take a different approach to these types of threads in the future.
