But I know from experience that some indys and agencies will tell you to contact them with a “real” number. That should go both ways.
No. It shouldn’t. From your perspective, you just want a real number because "it’s unfair, I deserve to know her real number too, what’s good for her is good for me, OKAY? *stomps feet*"... From our perspective, we want real numbers because:
1) Too easy to harass someone and/or make fake calls repeatedly with different fake numbers. Trust me I would know.
2) If you’re a bad client (Violent/Thief), we need a real number to be able to actually block and blacklist you. And if you’re really violent or worse a murderer, a real number makes it much easier for police to identify you.
3) And before you tell me "escorts too can be violent/thieves/etc", this is where my third point comes in handy. Sir, this is a review board. You have the choice to pick a well reviewed lady. Until we have a review board where verified providers can review every client in details like you guys review us... you can’t compare our need for a real number versus your want for it. We have no reviews to assure ourselves of your reputation and attitude. In some cases, a reference or two might be enough. A board handle with a posting history. But most clients don’t use merb. Often, a real number is all that we have. And it’s important for the reasons I mentionned above.
So, no, it shouldn’t go both ways. It’s not nearly the same. And don’t even get me started on why we use fake numbers versus why you use them. You use fake numbers for an irrational fear that your wife might find out (which is virtually not a possibility if you’re cautious, book reputable providers, and delete your texts after or even block the provider’s number until you need to text her again). We use fake numbers because we actually post the number in our prostitute ads and because sex workers are constantly targeted by people with bad intentions. I’m sure you can see the difference
