Did I say that?
I'm not sure why you think my post was directed at you ? No, it was not someone from merb. Haha
Btw - when I say real Phone number I mean as long as it's not an app. I'm fine with burner phones that you actually pay to use. It all comes down to the fact that it's too easy (as it's free) to change number 75 times with text apps and book a girl's entire days until she runs out of money and is stuck in the streets. I've been there (back when I was 18 and renting a place "by the month". I ended up unable to pay for it and spent a day outside in a cold rainy day wearing shorts and heels as I had spent my last dollars going to an outcall that, again, wasnt for real. That same person kept creating numbers that same day. Took a whole day stuck outside until I finally got a text from a regular and explained him my situation and he rented a room for me. Then again when I just turned 19, someone did the same (I suspect it's the same person actually) for an entiee month, booked my whole shifts with different numbers. I was moving to my first real appartment the next month and this unexpected BS made me again run out of all my money and unable to buy furniture and pay for the first month of my new place. Had to borrow money for a bed and the rent.)
People can be assholes. So I'm careful now.
