I may rub some people the wrong way with this post and I am by no means a seasoned pro in this hobby but I have noticed a few things on this board since I joined and wanted to build a how to list based on my own views.
Basically when dealing with life and business and people you develop certain interpersonal skills. On this board we are trying to make connections that are very intimate and should be handled with care and tact (imho). CERB is, as I have found, an excellent resource for quality companions and should not be treated like the side alley or even Craigs List. below is a list of tips in how I approach new people and felt I should share it as I see many impatient responses to announcements or weird ways of asking for information.
Read their Announcements completely! Many times there is a link to the SP or MP's homepage, e-mail address or phone number. These announcements generally have availability, details and sometimes rates. Take the time to see what they are saying and decide if you want to contact them.
If they have a webpage...READ IT, I have yet to visit an SP's page and not come away with a nearly complete idea of what they offer and their general rates.
If they have recommendations, read them, and not just the 'score'. If you are looking for a certain type of experience the reco's usual will recount (sometimes vaguely) what is offered and what isn't. The list of services under the review header is generally pretty specific.
Do a bit of research if you want to know what the SP/MP is like. A lot of the women who announce regularly also post regularly. Personally I only want to spend time with people I am interested in, by looking at what they have to say you can get a feel of their personality. If you click with someone then generally you can have a much better time.
If you have specific questions do not post them under their announcement, PM, call or e-mail them depending on what information they provided. How would you book an appointment for anything else in life? If they are a regular poster on CERB they will see their PM's, many of the women even mention if they can't get to them and specify alternate methods.
Do not post on their guestbook 'call me', 'are you available now' or 'PM me', if I was on the other end of those messages I would not respond or maybe not even see the notes for a while at a time.
Be respectful in messages and notes. If you want to be treated well and meet some of the amazing women on this board approach them as they should be approached, with class and respect. I am not saying debate should never happen, but that is not the point of this board.
I know I am a relative n00b so to speak so some may disagree with me or discount the advice but I felt I needed to get this off my chest. Anything I missed? Any comments from the SP's/MP's? From other hobbyists?
I know there is a 'do not do' thread, but a concise how to guide could never hurt!;-)
