You know what I used to hate? Giving some guy I don't know my phone number (even if it WAS my cell)... and then, deciding that he wasn't my cup of tea. Yup. I hated that. Cause sometimes, no matter what I told the guy, he didn't seem to take no for an answer and would continually call - long after I'd expressed no interest. I'd rather have met him without all that information up front. I figured that way, when we met face to face, I could see if I liked him well enough to share what to me, was more personal information. I mean HELL! Applebees is still Applebees whether he's there or not. And just because HE wanted to go from there to a hotel didn't mean we were GOING to! (It also didn't necessarily mean we weren't - as I discovered the day I met the man who would become my Master.) Oooh DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!! Meeting him "blind" was the single most BEST decision I ever made in my life. And what a THRILL it was - is - continues to be!! YOU are responsible for your safety. If you don't feel safe meeting without all those pieces of information then don't. But don't blame the other guy just cause HE didn't choose to have your level of concern. And don't presume that just because someone DOES choose to meet people without all that hoopla that they're the next serial killer or victim. Some of us simply choose a different path than you. Oh yea... and choosing a different path doesn't mean the dominants are arrogant and the submissives are ignorant. It just means we're not doing what you do. My "defense"? Most of the meetings I ever had took place at the same restaurant. I also went there a lot with my family. I got to know the staff and they knew that I was meeting people when they saw me come in alone. lol.. Not one man ever knew that I was getting thumbs up or thumbs down behind his back from everyone from the bartender to the bus boys - except my Master. He figured it out immediately. The other men were just always kind of impressed that they received such good service at that establishment. In truth, the wait staff were checking him out. If I'd have had a problem, there were any number of people in the near vicinity that I could have gone to for assistance - including the safety of the manager's office if it was that bad. I never asked them to keep an eye out for me. They just did. The point is, it was MY safety, so I took responsibility for it rather than looking to people I didn't know (the men I was meeting) to do it for me. A phone number is no guarantee of anything - especially with throw away pay phones. For some reason relying on some guy who might have spent 15 bucks for a phone with some minutes purchased on it that he can just toss at a moment's notice is not my idea of a safety measure at all. And if *I'M* not giving out my home phone number, I'm sure as hell not asking a guy for his. You might want to consider this the next time you want to get your sarcasm in gear just because some guy doesn't agree with you. juliet
