Ladies,
I understand your points. It is not that I don't. I do.
It is simply not something that I have experienced. I don't have clients come to my house that I have not vetted. So my clients have already seen and been verified by other SPs.
Take the OP for example. He has a clear posting history, and with a real name, number and another escort or two verifying he is a safe, respectful client who always pays, always clean and always on time - I am not going to have a problem with him leaving the money by the table. Some extra screening at the beginning goes a long way.
I am also very clear on my services and don't change them out.
As you both have said, shitty people have made things worse for others. In this case, too many ladies have ripped off clients. We can all agree on that. I would go as far as saying there are more men ripped offed in BP service switch scams in a day, then women bringing ripped off with a guy taking his money back.
So for them, leaving the money in an open spot is the safest option for them while ensuring both get what they are looking for. So while it goes both ways, so should there be ways for both sides to be safe. My suggestion is one for the guys. Better to have the money in plain sight than some of these guys who will refuse to pay at all until after the appointment.
Besides, it gives both parties the chance to say yes or no to the appointment. For you ladies, you would say no and the guy could leave. No harm, no foul.
For you ladies, I will say this much. Do not hide you clients cash with any other cash in the house until after he leaves. If a guy is coming to rob you, which seems like the case for the stories posted, don't put it with where there is more money. That person only knows for sure that you have their money. They assume about the rest. You can save yourselves some if you hide your money in different places.
I will say, I can't see any client that I see personally, EVER risking never being able to see me again, simply to take his cash back. I am not saying I don't believe it, I do. I just know none of my clients would take that risk. Again, screening is one of my most valuable tools in my arsenal. I would rather screen and take fewer appointments and clients, then risk for myself, a greater chance of meeting some of the men you two have described.
GL and here is to a safer 2018 for both sides of the industry.
