....I remember the good old days when a girl could travel easily with her handcuffs... 😂

us ladies are mostly quite aware of the fake profiles. (perhaps I still follow them for simply entertainment value) Wix websites, and to be quite honest, our community is quite small so we know when none of our gentlemen friends have never seen one of them...nor if they have never reached out for references at all (although "ask" for them. A tell-tale sign is to look at the "Replies" feature on X (Twitter) ...if it's only re-tweets, or "overly curated yet not personal content" Or (the most telling) ...the same accolade verbiage sent to multi-companions in a short time span. (helps garner views and visibility) ...it's most likely a fake account. Replies feature is what i tell my friends to look at. It gives you an insight to how a legit companion interacts with others, personality etc. Interestingly, they never announce availability nor tours...and claim to have "long term clients" for extravagant FMTY's albeit new to the industry. Plus... international model looks don't come at a $600/hr price tag..

Common hashtags used are #datedenver #dateboulder (#date and then whatever city you are searching) Less used is state such as #datecolorado (but worth a try)

I use WhatsApp and Signal for international calling in my real life job. The concerning bit on setup with Signal was that it immediately notified me of my Contacts that also use Signal. I would not use it for "Melinda'ing" unless i had a whole separate device (and i do not do a "Melinda phone" for discretion and peace in any of my business so it just doesn't work nor make sense for me)

True. If the OP is running into these experiences (especially if it is not a sole isolated experience with one provider), there's a good chance that It has nothing to do with "new school" (or even "old school") but he needs to re-evaluate his choices (or come to the conclusion that his picker might be broken)

Texting or calling a gentleman without expressed permission (and a specific time and date) is Terribly indiscreet.

Question: Did you send an official "appointment request" via their system or simply a "pre-screen" or PM/DM? was it gentlemanly and include everything needed via the companions' directions? Many companions will have their notifications set up to forward appt requests to their emails. (pre-screens get back seat to legit requests and are often rife with time-wasters and many PMs/DMs often do not get forwarded correctly. Also, P411 emails can get stuck in "Promotions" or Junk folders for many Gmail and hotmail users. There are SO many ad boards out there, so if reaching out via PM/DM on any of them vs the P411 Appt request protocol, it's common that companions can't keep up by logging into all so frequently. Hope that you have better luck moving forward. (just throwing out some of the issues that could be happening) Play nicely all! xoxo Mel

That's why a companion needs professional, written, and clearly communicated Policies and Practices... If we are running a business, running this as we would any legitimate business is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and potential knuckleheads. Clear deposit policies are needed too. (if not listed on her website, communicated in writing 1:1 pre-deposit taking) If one does not wish to set a professional deposit policy up, that's fine, it's their biz...but then they should not be taking deposits. Clear expectations for both parties and integrity avoids drama and should clear all questions up. Business Foundations 101

Repeat: there are ways to pay deposits "NON-electronically" too without a paper trail. Hopefully, companions will give you options that will work for both of you.

Many of us have various options for deposits...some non-electronic and a savvy companion will have their electronic options not tied in to their escort persona. I am very strict on not having a paper trail that will look like a gent has gotten nooky somewhere...

Yep, that was a common method even 20yrs ago. (granted, we did see fake companies set up) but if one is diligent in their research and thorough, it's simply one method that can be used. NOTE: this takes into account that we are never ever calling or texting ANY number without an agreed upon time for a gentleman's discretion. I've always been an advocate for "multi-layers of screening" as it can be easy for those with nefarious intentions to hack 1 or 2 methods....but unlikely that they can hack them all. When in doubt and when suspicious of someone not being truthful, always best to pass.

darn typos. "SWers" not "sweets" although we are pretty sweet.. LOL

Perhaps meet with legitimate escorts/companions instead vs delving in to the online cam girl and sugar baby genre. Most Professional escorts have written cancellation policies and written policies.m when you venture outside other genres of sweets, who don't specialize or have much experience with in-person clients, it can be the wild Wild West and you take your chances.

I initially was not a fan of deposits (I love cash off the grid and only previously did them with FMTYs, longer dates, or chronic cancellation guys) but implementing them for new clients this year has been a life-saver and all the gentlemen have been amazing! Super important however, to have: 1. a clear deposit policy and be speedy on deposit returns in any case you need to cancel. 2. Offer multiple options including a totally non-digital option for those queezey about "anything online". 3. Have enough of a presence where they can be comfortable that you are legit, sane, and professional. 4. Give them distinct directions on how to make the deposit (no "for Nooky" comments on Venmo or CashApp -that's a clear way to banking bans for life) 5. Have your accounting and tax organization squared away. 5. Stick by your deposit policy and be prompt in communication. it can often be nerve wracking for some gents to send $ to a new companion that they are booking. Alleviate fears by being Uber-professional, kind, prompt and clear in communication. More companions, especially touring, are taking deposits than not these days so it's the way the industry is heading as more companions have upgraded their professionalism. As a PT companion with a career, who only gets to play 1-2X a week, cancellations or no-shows can be devastating for me (I haven't had a NC/NS in perhaps 16yrs thank goodness). It's been such a rewarding experience with deposits and I rarely ever get anyone pushing back (only 1 knucklehead in the last year and I promptly ignored him) I do, often work with a gent who needs to reschedule however, dependant on the individual situation. Do what you need to for your business to make it pleasant for you. We give so much of our time and efforts for other's pleasure as it is. Play nicely all, xoxo Mel

Kali, This is actually an inquiry post for Washington STATE... the Spokane area (not Denver Tech Center Colorado) but thanks for the show of helpfulness. ❤️
