Screening by escorts today is a must and commonplace. It has become a must because unfortunately, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of people contacting escorts just to waste their time, or to be problematic. It is also imperative that our safety is protected. Knowing who you are is the first step in doing that. Knowing who you are is important for many reasons. Speaking for myself, I screen to protect myself from time wasters, and to also get a sense of compatibility with my chosen gentleman.
I don't have the pressures of having to meet a certain number of clients per day/week or month so it's important to me that whom I meet has something I find interesting and or attractive. I plan and I enjoy my dates, and as much as I can fake my way through a date just to take the cash, I'd much rather spend my time authentically and with someone I choose to be with for reasons beyond the cash only.
When I screen I want to see government id, prior to meeting, which is sent either by email or text. I give screening instructions when booking my date. As they can differ from client to client. I seldom have a problem getting id's or deposits, so when a potential client refuses that request, my spidey senses go off and I assume him to be a potential time waster, and block. My ads/website and social posts all state that I screen, so if someone is contacting me without wanting to be screened, they are wasting my time! There is nothing attractive about a potential client who contacts me while being uninformed, not having read anything I've written. It tells me that he's really not intertested in me or respectful of my needs. Especially if he contacts me to prattle on about how unsafe giving his info would be. I've met far to many gentlemen with lots to lose, who've trusted me, and who have had no issues doing so.
It is passe to expect an escort to say "come on over" to X street, apt, or room X....without you providing a deposit, id, or both. If you are hearing of, or meeting those types of escorts, I'd say if you weren't robbed, or scammed by them, you're lucky, and to beware if you're contemplating meeting one. The first sign of a professional escort, is the fact that they screen. No if's ands or buts about it. Gone are the days of simply picking up the phone and ordering....and we can thank those guys and gals who've taken it upon themselves to purposely waste an escorts time, and this is usually done out of spite, jealously, and their inability to be successful and or happy.
Remember we are professionals, we are aware of safety issues with phones, the internet, etc, and take precautions to protect the information we collect. Of course I don't have the same protections your bank has, but I'm quite sauvy and work with professionals who have helped guide me with helpful tips, and procedures to assure me that what I do collect is done so properly and safely. Remember, I choose to meet the men I meet. They are important to me. They all have something I like and treasure about them. If anything were to happen to them or their information it would be crushing to me. So please respect those of us who treat our business/lifestyle in a professional way. In the end, It is in your best interest.
