Initially I was planning on posing the following...
I realize my profile page maybe a bit daunting to some, and by no means do I feel someone should feel obligated to read the whole thing prior to sending me a message, but is it too much to ask that they read the part 'above the fold'? The part that shows up without having to scroll down?
But then I thought I should double check the layout on a profile page (it's been awhile). Turns out, on both a PC and phone, the send message button is available before any real content one shares about themselves (aside from pictures , username, age, gender identity, location and their "I like to cuddle..." bit) is shown.
So I guess my issue isn't so much about getting another seemingly random message like, "I would like to book a session", but that the person who wrote it may not that had they scrolled down they'd have seen the best thing they might get from me in return is a heartfelt, "Good luck with that." or (as I've done in the past when I had more free time) a step by step on how to search for and message a Pro. Because I state clearly and right up front that I'm not looking for new cuddle partners, and that I'm not a Pro.
Anyway, I feel like there have been some nice site improvements over the last few moths, but I'm finding myself wishing they set up our profile pages so a visitor would at least have to scroll past our bios before getting to send us a message. At least then I would know for sure they were a, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, I don't care about you, this is all just about me and my needs." kind of individual.
But it turns out the site isn't set up in a way that encourages us to consider each other as people first. Nor is it set up in a way to address a complaint I've seen time and again from Pros, "Why do they ask me questions I clearly answer on my profile page?" - Well, one answer could be that they may not even know it exists in the first place. I mean if one doesn't have to provide content for theirs when creating account (such as the ones who have asked to book with me), how else would they know where such content gets displayed?
Most might just skip over this kind of thing, but it bothers me so here we are. Because despite all the improvements, there still seems to be some simple things they could do to improve the overall experience/interface between people.
Until then, I'll continue trying to do my part by at least messaging people back. There are so many stories on here about people sending messages and not getting a response - I figure I can at least do that.
