Notes
What we learn from running a directory: how to read a listing, what the fields and market terms mean, and which questions are worth asking before you contact anyone.

What an escort listing actually tells you — and what it cannot
Every directory shows the same handful of fields. Three are worth trusting, two are worth asking about, and one is almost always generated.
-
Incall, outcall, and why the price is different
The gap is not a markup on the same service. It covers travel, time and the risk of an address nobody has seen.
-
Nationality is not ethnicity, and both are self-declared
Two separate fields that visitors read as one. Filtering by the wrong one is the most common way a shortlist disappoints.
-
Why we publish “no checks on record”
The one check performed on every entry, and the much longer list of things it does not cover — not a document, not an age, not a rate.
This section exists because the listings cannot explain themselves. A directory shows a small set of fields, and a visitor has no way of knowing which of them came from the advertiser, which are catalogue data and which are neither. Each note takes one of those questions and answers it in full; the glossary gives every term a short definition in one place.
Nothing here is advice about whether to book anyone. It is about reading what is on the page, so a decision is made on what the record actually says rather than on what the layout implies.
