Re: the rose is gone?
 

Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to say what your preference is so guys you aren't interested in don't go through sending their pics and then don't hear back from you

Re: the rose is gone?
 

Possibly a brief explanation of your picture requirement would help as well. You are certainly entitled to ask, but I am sure guys are concerned about what could happen with that picture. We are potentially putting ourselves in a vulnerable position with LE, or there are other places the picture could end up that may not be desirable. As far as I know you are the only SP who makes this request.

Tipper.

Re: the rose is gone?
 

I agree with tipper. I know some aren't too thrilled with Shauna Aloha's vetting process of a coffee meeting before actually having coffee but it is much prefered to emailing pictures of yourself. Something this SP may want to throw out there as an option.

Re: the rose is gone?
 

I feel I need to weigh in here on this topic.
I don't know Denym Rose but I know of her and I can only speak for myself and the reasons why I have my specific vetting process
As most of you all know, I was in the business many years ago in a different city. And like most other companions, I would only vet through phone calls and references. I was very, very busy to the point I got burnt out and retired.
As some may not agree with my process but I take time out of my schedule to have a brief coffee as I do this for my safety. (if you cannot provide a reference) Although I do respect ones discretion, Our safety is bottom line. But this can also benefit both parties as you all know there is nothing wrong with just having a coffee before dessert. And you get to see the goodies, discuss menu and have the option of walking away or staying.I think it's a win, win...
I am sure she has her own reasons why she does it this way.
Most of the gentlemen I have met while on this board have been nothing short of wonderful. There are a few I just didn't click with but to each their own.
I have had many gentlemen provide me with a photo (I am not sure if the photo was real or not) but I always prefer face to face meetings as you can tell a lot from a person from just spending a few minutes wth them. As I would also like to enjoy myself. If I am going to remain in this industry for a few more years, or anyone that remains in this industry, there are certain steps that one must take to maintain our level of sanity, health and safety.
Again, I don't know her specific reasons but I am sure they are valid

Re: the rose is gone?
 

Nothing wrong with a little feedback, but I believe she has very specific reasons for running her business the way she does. I respect that.
I have had people tell me "Gerald you are doing this or that wrong". That causes me to stop, think about what I am doing, then decide if I should change something. 99.9 percent of the time I don't change but there is always that chance. :sad2:
In the end we all run our own businesses the way we feel it works best for us as business owners.
I remember suggesting to one of my advertisers once how she could better run her business. She looked at me with a big smile and said "Would you like to come over and see the large house I own mortgage free and have recently renovated?"
I just smiled back and replied, "Point taken". :laugh:

Re: the rose is gone?
 

Well said Gerald. People do things their way for a reason. If u don't want to jump through the hoops, find a different provider.

Re: the rose is gone?
 

But what if you jump through the hoops but never hear back? Of course it's the ladies" choice of who they see or not but if a guy is willing to go through the steps I think it would only be fair to get a reply of why a meeting won't happen. Hence why I previously said if she was to state what sort of client she prefers it may help with guys getting hopes up because they did send required pic.

Re: the rose is gone?
