I normally message a girl that I like asking what their rates are. When I am ready to punt i then go through all my messages and pick a girl partially based on the price that they gave me at the time. When I have chosen the girl I will phone her to confirm a booking.

My pet hate is that about 40% of the girls will message me back to ask me to phone them for details. Why dont they just give me the rate as I asked them. When this happens I never phone the girl back and I never go and see them - pretty stupid as they end up losing a potential customer.

Do other punters feel the same way

Definitely with you on that. The WA chat is like your shopping tool/price list since there's no prices on ESA.

When I see a profile I like and considering booking, I save the number and make the enquiry. Then I have the details I need when I can punt and of course if the rates are too far out, can scratch it off the list immediately but also, now can I see their statuses so when they have a special or make an offer that makes sense or interests me, I can see it and make a booking so they have an added tool to market through for free, even when their ad is offline.

When I have the opportunity to punt, I just go through my chats as I have all the info, check availability of the one I want and make the booking.

I haven't actually come across many that say call but I have come across some that after saving the number, see they don't have WA or after sending their rates,they delete it a few minutes or even a day later. But just like you, at the time I want to make a booking, if it's not there I don't have precious punting time to waste so I forget about them and move to the next one on the list that I have details for. Out of sight, out of mind. Either, the chat, the details, the name, and the profile picture is in sight or it's not.

Another peeve I've found though is some ladies will try to rip you off. They will give you sky high rates to see if you bite and then want to negotiate. Fail. Us punters talk for one so when punter A and B say they booked you and it was Rx and you quote Rx+50% or even +100% and we're immediately switched off because you know you're the one she pegged for a sucker.

Other ladies will test a ridiculous price or proposition to see what they can get away with (because there are suckers) and then when you reject them, say they want to discuss or they offer a lower price. That doesn't work. WE DON'T NEGOTIATE. I personally feel if a lady comes back after with a lower rate she's also going to lower her service and/or lower the time once she gets you there because she feels cheated so it's a definite no on negotiating for me. Don't do it, just offer a decent rate straight up.
