The thread about pet peeves got me thinking. Some of those pet peeves listed are OK for newbies. They don't know any better. But for us guys who have been in the game for awhile, maybe a list of known pitfalls or common mistakes, etc., would be both informative and entertaining.
There are no hard and fast rules to mongering, but there are some expectations and assumptions that will go a long way in making our lives easier.
I'll start the ball rolling.
1. With few exceptions, pics in ads are fakes, especially on sites like Backpage, etc. Don't rely on them. If it looks too good to be true, it is probably a fake. Posed glamour shots, hot smiling young girls that look like they just stepped out of a magazine, etc. Yeah, fakes. However, pics where the girl hides her face, or part of it, she's fat, the pose is amateurish, the lighting is bad, the background is distracting or the photo is unflattering, all these are hallmarks of a genuine real girl's photo. There was a time when I would have included self-portraits taken in the mirror with a cell phone camera as probably real too, but some of these spammers are catching on, and ripping off Facebook or dating site-style photos.
2. Bring change! Don't bring a fucking Benjamin. Who are you trying to impress? If you want her to think you're loaded (why?), flash a roll instead. Bring 10's and 20's. Even 5's. Some girls are honest, many aren't. If she tells you they have no change for your big bill, what are you going to do? Leave? Probably you will stay (thinking with the small head), and hope that the difference that will become her tip will reflect the level of service you will receive. They know this. They want that hundred, and they know how to get it out of a horny guy who came unprepared.
3. Get a girl's cell number, if you want to see her again. Don't just call the shop and ask if she's working. Maybe they tell you yes, and you rush over, only to find out that oh, sorry, she had an emergency and had to leave (but another girl just happens to be available now...). If you have her cell number, you can always find out if she really is working that day. Not only that, if she leaves that shop for good one day, you won't have to post one of those "has anyone seen so-and-so?" posts in the Forums.
