First Contact With Pros

  Hey, I’m moderator here. Sometimes pros don’t check the entire list of people who have been visiting them. Sometimes they only check the small pop-up list. Or sometimes you can get scrolled off by a lot of people visiting their profile so not receiving a check back I wouldn’t say is a bad sign. Other times there are so many messages flying a pros from different directions they don’t know whose profile they checked and didn’t.

  I totally understand your concerns! And I’m really sorry that you had an experience that wasn’t quite what you’re looking for.

  Personally as a pro, I feel like I get a LOT of profile views. I don’t reach out to every single one. The biggest factor that determines whether or not I will respond simply to a profile view is whether or not they’re in close proximity to my city.

  0-15 miles, definitely messaging to see if they were interested in anything they saw on my profile.
  15-25 miles, potentially reaching out only if they have a bio and hopefully a picture.
  25+ miles, I’m typically waiting for them to reach out to me. Not that I’m not necessarily interested, but that it’s more likely a cancellation will occur or the client will be put off by price of hosting/travel costs.

  Personally I am most interested in sessions when a client reaches out confidently first, and is relatively nearby or willing to cover travel/hosting costs. I’d honestly be more worried that the person I reached out to wouldn’t be that interested in a session with me due to one of these factors.

  I know some pros that are willing to make the first move, and some that just don’t want to get in the habit of spamming a bunch of random strangers who aren’t interested in their services. To each their own.

  I hope this helps and you find what you’re looking for!

  Absolutely no indication. A profile visit can be from anyone, including a bot thing. I visit or send a friendly hello as my mood and curiosity allow, and become more or less interested and make decisions from the conversation that comes from that. Life is charging towards everyone else too 😉

  In my very limited experience on this site, everyone who's contacted me without first visiting my profile was banned shortly after, one was obviously AI generated (both profile and message to me); but no clue what happened to the others.

  Some professionals don't routinely check profiles of clients because so many of them are basically blank it's not worth the effort. And there are many other reasons why a professional might prefer not to visit.

  Many professionals never message people who visit their profile: in general the expectation is that the potential client sends the first message. (Professionals are not allowed to contact people who have not expressed an interest in their services, for example by visiting their profile.)

  However, you've done really well - three good and one meh session out of four is actually an excellent rate. You've found three people that suit you, I'd stick with them for a while if I were you.

  If someone visits your profile, and you don't visit theirs back, it's that an indication as to whether you are interested in cuddling with them?

  No. It's not an indication of anything. The way people behave on sites with profiles varies wildely beyond anything you might even imagine.

  @billiam.....I would not conclude anything about a pro visiting your profile after you visit them. I know pros who literally get hundreds of views monthly; why should they visit any of the profiles? A visit from a potential client could simply be a curiosity, with no intent, or even interest, in booking.

  Now, if you actually message a pro, and they message back with never visiting your profile.....well that for me, is a red flag. If they were serious about scheduling, they would want to know who you were, if you had karma, etc...

  I was under the impression that, as Pros, we were not allowed to reach out to someone unless they contacted us first. 🤷‍♀️

  You are correct, Pros aren’t allowed to initiate contact, potential clients must show an interest first - as in visiting our profile.
  I think what OP means is that if he views a profile (but doesn’t message) he is surprised that the Pro doesn’t view his profile in return. (please correct me if I’m wrong).
  I rarely view profiles that view me first mainly because I feel that if they’re interested in booking they will send a message. Just “looking” is just curiosity. Messaging is actual intent.

  Ahhh, yeah, I never took visiting my profile as showing an interest, I figured they would message me if they were interested. Might be why I don't get many inquiries 😂😂😂😂

  I agree and also, I will glance (on the home page) at the short list of viewers but if they don’t have a photo, it’s just words on the screen and nothing to catch my attention so I definitely don’t click on them. If there’s a photo I am way more likely to look at the profile in return. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is so true for me.

  depending on the pro I know sometimes my feed move so quickly especially when I’m travelling that I don’t see that everyone’ who visited by my profile because they get bumped out very quickly especially if I’m in a session, as I don’t check my
  Phone. it could be two hours and I’ve missed the fact that you’ve even viewed me. It’s definitely not intentional I do try to message and talk with most people who view my profile.
