Honestly I refuse to have my email or even my backup email as a means to contact me... I only do business by text.. if I have to look all over for where people are trying to contact me, then their messages will likely not be realized or recognized... A 1 location only also prevents getting confused by messages from the same person in multiple locations, it becomes hard to track if it is someone you might want to avoid.
I am beginning to comprehend the reasons why service providers opt for using applications to obtain secondary phone numbers rather than sharing their real contact information. I can unequivocally confirm that there are numerous individuals out there who exhibit creepy behavior, even within the merb platform. Allow me to elaborate on why I make this assertion. A few weeks ago, I wrote a review about a MILF service provider on merb. This particular provider does not advertise her services or have an official website; it is all based on word-of-mouth referrals. Prior to writing the review, I sought permission from the service provider to ensure she was comfortable with me sharing my experiences, as I had received numerous private messages from other members expressing their curiosity. I specifically mentioned that her exceptional oral skills had garnered attention on previous posts, prompting an influx of direct messages to my inbox. Given her absence of a website or readily available contact details, I inquired whether it would be acceptable to include her contact information in my review due to popular demand. She inquired if all the individuals reaching out were respectful, to which I assured her that they were indeed well-mannered individuals. However, three days later, I received an unsurprising text message from the service provider. She questioned where I had shared or displayed her phone number, and I honestly informed her that it was on merb. Curiosity got the best of me, and I asked her why she was inquiring. Her response left me taken aback, as she revealed that she had received multiple unsolicited messages containing explicit images and encountered disrespectful individuals who had the audacity to contact her at ungodly hours of the morning. Sensing her distress, I offered to remove the post or her phone number, but she expressed that it was too late. I was genuinely shocked that people would invest their time in sending explicit pictures and attempting to obtain services for free, which ultimately proved to be a futile exercise for the person on the receiving end of those calls. I experienced a sense of disappointment and regret for posting her phone number without fully anticipating the consequences. I reassured her that the majority of individuals on merb are respectful gentlemen, and we should not allow a few bad apples to spoil the review. In response, she assured me that anyone displaying disrespect would be promptly blocked. Now, I comprehend the rationale behind service providers acquiring a secondary phone number through applications; it all falls into place, considering the circumstances
