Because you might want to talk to us about our feelings and stuff..lol. We dont do that well. Anyway, guys dont do phone well in general. Its easier to be suave and funny over an email that to stutter and blurt out incoherant nonsense knowing we are talking to a beautiful lady. Ive had big time butterflies talking with an SP over the phone before. I totally understand emailing or PMing first, i think guys just like it that way better. Unless its an immediate need, why not email or PM first?
 
I prefer to PM or email, it's a good way to compose and edit my thoughts.
I always imagine a phone is interrupting someone, or I'll have to leave a quick message so they can call and interrupt me. :rolleyes:

But if someone says they'd rather have a phone call, I'll agree to that. That will give them a number I'm calling from and perhaps an inkling of my personality.
 
I think she maybe referring to guys wanting appointments immediately. Kind of hard to when it's last minute. I think there should be a rule for PM's and emails. 24 hours (day before) for appointments. That will give the ladies time to get back to you. Use the phone for same day appointments.
 
People can hear . . .

. . . my phone conversations (okay, Il'll admit, I do a lot of my TERB lurking and surfing at work) but all they hear when I'm e-mailing is the clickity-clack of the fingers.

G's B.

And, yes,I agree can be much more graphic :eek: in an e-mail!

EXACTLY!
 
Okay, for same day appointments I'd never PM or email.
Just make it clear on your website what you prefer, Linda.

Someone help me here...What's a phone :confused:
 
Phones are so 1950's. We as men are just drawn to technology and tend to be brief.
 
I think the exact opposite as many of the men in this thread. I enjoy talking to an SP over the phone first. Hearing them out, their tone, their care to polite service. If the SP can be attractive and congenial on the phone that is the first step to a good session. Following with good service and attention is YMMV of course, but a nice pleasant conversation or interaction prior to meeting can be very rewarding when the actual session start. If I feel the SP is capable of exchanging emails and PM's then I do so. Some SP's don't go online, or aren't as internet savy as others. With writing though, it opens up a whole new world, because it is bascially a window into their heads. A reader can find out alot about the writer in what they choose and choose not to put on paper or screen for that matter. So I prefer the vocal interaction first, and if I like the SP enough I then take time out of my busy schedule to write to her. Cause after reading 150-200 emails of work content a day, sometimes a nice polite subtle voice goes a long way to ensure I have a good day. Yet no matter how tired or sick of writing I am, there is always time to review....gotta stay true to TERB. Happy hunting TERBites!!
 
I like to keep a paper trail via e-mail so that I have a back-up when things don't go as planned and I have to call on my advisors.

ooops, wrong subject. :D

Anyways, LL, get a BBphone, ie. BlackBerry
