This is a personal observation.
The ladies that I have gone and visited all had one thing in common, they actually took the time to communicate properly and even flirt a bit on WA. I've made decisions based on how you respond to me and One or two word answers just does not work for me. I don't mind waiting for an answer because you busy, but show a little interest in answering properly.
Just putting it out there, as they say, Use it, don't use it.

I prefer whatsapp. It's a great business app if used properly.

If used properly it's great. But some punters clearly still think it's a chat line.
However if your business whatsapp is set up correctly with a greeting message stipulating no back and forth chats, it quickly deters time wasters .
My personal experience with the OP over whatsapp well it was getting annoying with all the questions that didn't have anything to do with bookings, got very annoyed with ne when I didn't respond the way he wanted...
The block feature is my absolute favorite feature lol

WhatsApp is great

So then there are punters that send one word too....

Facts. No idea what I'm meant to do with a "Hi". Most times I don't respond further than my autoreply because 9/10 those don't materialise into bookings.

And I have proof!

Every single visit in the last 5 or so years started on Whatsapp. If ther response is cold on there, or impatient, I move on to the next one. The ladies that pro-actively engage on whatsapp become regulars. In my case, anyway.

Same. Personal preference is to arrange over WhatsApp. I give a full description of what I'm looking for and requirements. No booking is ever made without WhatsApp

Yip, likewise.

So many don't even read what you spent the time typing and enquiring. They just say hi and wait for you to ask everything again or even worse ask you what time you want to come through when she didn't even confirm rates, services, location etc tgat you asked. Usually that never ends in a booking because if basic communication is that difficult, can you imagine how difficult the session will be? Especially when they don't provide the details, I can bet everything you want will be extra or not on offer in the booking.

Conversely though, those that communicate very well usually manage to convince you to make a booking, even if they're slightly out of the price range, purely because of how good the communication was and the flirting and attention etc makes you want to see them because they've already built up some chemistry before even getting to a session.

As a punter I can say that Hi is just to check if you're available. No use typing long stories (which unfortunately I do and ask everything) but I'm explaining why.

If the guy is looking for a punt now and saw you were available recently, they might send that to you and keep searching. They'll respond to the one that replies first with the additional info and questions and if it meets his requirements, will proceed with the booking so he's thinking no use wasting your time asking all the questions if you're not available and he isn't booking, try again another day when he's free again. If you do happen to respond with your Hi first and he likes what he hears, you'll probably get the booking and the other chicks will be swearing him for being a time waster just sending Hi.

Just a function of the way availablity and communication works now. Previously, you message one and proceed with the booking and alls good. Now if you do that (I'm guilty here) and wait, then 15-30 minutes lost there and on the next one that doesn't respond and there goes your punting time sitting with your phone in your hand, then you want off and go to bed.... which is probably when she'll respond to you and ask if you want to come through, lol. Happened to me just Monday night, was showing available but no response, 2 hours later at midnight when I'm ticked in bed after wanking off, she replies and asks if I want to come through. Should I have messaged 5 girls Hi and seen if another was available and responded straight away and left 4 wondering? Maybe! At least someone would have got the business and I would have gotten my punt. Just the way things are.
