Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason
I don't travel often but for my first trip in almost three years I decided to visit my favorite place. Yes here my loves.
I don't see very many people and my old friends always take priority.
I had two cancelled appointments in one day. I hate to say it but I'm leaving early and will not
Be returning as many other reputable providers have expressed the same. It's such a shame because this town used to be full of life, fun And action. Now, it seems as though the respect or lack there of for a providers time is of no significance.
I would like to know if somebody had an explanation for the general lack of respect for our time. Touring is never easy and lots of preparation and money are major factors.
I hate to say it but myself, along with many other top reviewed ladies, have taken D.C. Off the list of touring cities to visit and this is why.
I know this had been addressed before however clearly the point was not received.
To those that cancelled, please do not use me for a reference.
And to the ladies, I apologize for having given you the OK when I was asked for a reference. From now on cancellations will be mentioned and rightfully so.
I have decided to cut my trip short and head home. There are plenty of gentleman that stand by their word and keep their appointments as planned, sometimes weeks in advance.
And no the dog didn't eat your phone, your not sick (again), after I just received a verification from a provider last week for you :-/. It's a matter of respect my time is just as valuable as yours.
Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason.
Would love to hear you voice on this matter.

Yes, DC has high cancellation rate, but so do other big metropolitan cities. I feel bad for you, for losing your time and business, but sometimes its just cost of doing business. Some guys have no value for other gals' time, and sometimes it goes the other way too where the provider cancels on us.
After reading your post, I went to all major cities board and did a search with the word "cancellation" for last 30-60 days. You can do the same exercise if you want and you will see that there is nothing special about DC guys, nor anything in the air and water over here, that leads to cancellations. Its just people in general, big metropolitan cities with crazy traffic and tons of other options that could be factored in why a guy cancels.
In no way, I condone it, and last time I personally cancelled was many years ago and with a valid reason.. Knock on my morning wood that I haven't had to cancel since then from my end, and its been pretty smooth sailing for me. LMAO..
Hopefully, next time you will have a better experience.

She's the one losing income by not visiting over a dumb reason. Darwin award candidate.
...accordingly?!?!? First hint is "....I don't travel often but for my first trip in almost three years..." So you have not been here in 3 years and you expect not to get ANY or, at least one cancellation?!?! Really? DC has many Hobby options and just because in your world you have not been here and you obviously expected the DC Hobby scene to bow down at your arrival was your first mistake.
I would suggest that your time NOT traveling contributed your apparent unreasonable expectations of not having ANY cancellations.
In the future you may want to check your expectations and align them with reality.
I hope after you've calmed down you'll come to the same realization!!
First thing you have to realize is the internet constantly changing the rules. (You have some nasty that is going on, and many of you approve of it.
You are nothing more than a drop in the bucket. I know what it is to be a "girl" working for an agency, and I know what it is to be someone that runs an agency.
You are nothing more than someone that is here for their own "rewards". You obviously don't look at these ladies as human beings. If you did, YOU would be able to place their situations if your daughter, sister, aunt, mother, or any female family member that you may have any value towards. I WILL ALWAYS STAND BEHIND THESE LADIES!
Your insensitivity and unfeeling attitude is nothing more than someone who runs a "kill shelter". You have absolutely no idea, of the guts it takes to be in this business! (Even though you meet some absolutely outstanding gentlemen. You put your self in jeopardy with almost every meeting you agree to.)
You should at the very least acknowledge the people and give them the credit who agree to meet with someone like you.

While your die hard defense of your peers is admirable, it is misplaced in this case. And for the record, YES, I am a business man.
One of the first principles they teach in accounting, cost accounting in particular, is pilferage. In general, it's simply theft. The point that got me when I was first introduced to this concept, in accounting terms, is that businesses actually "ACCOUNT" for it and include the risk of pilferage in their pricing and costing strategies/models/plans.
One operative word is "PLANS." In this case we have a provider who, per her own analysis, notes that she has not been to DC in 3 years and also notes that she does not travel much. Yet when she decides to hit the road and experiences TWO cancellations she gets so bent out of shape and annoyed that she packs it in and even decides to leave early VS. responding as an astute business person and try things such as increase her advertising, offer a "I-rarely-travel-discount," extend her stay a day or two to make up for the TWO cancellations. Remember, she's in a city she has not been visited in THREE YEARS!!! In addition, she obviously has not recognized that she may be a bit rusty in making decisions based on all the "BUSINESS" factors she needs to consider when she travels i.e. "I may have some cancellations...."
But no, what does this "business" person do? Closes up shop; and then "advertises" to a segment of her client base that this market is worthless and has the effect of insulting an entire market! Yeah, that's a helluva business minded person. And you Syd, with all your "business acumen" (read with HEAVY sarcasm) condone her "business" practice/s.
An advertising suggestion for both of you.......place the acronym "BSC" at the end of your names so we can all know your specialty and what you're certified in!!!
And always remember...just cause one has a business does not make them a business person.....! I know "business people" who peddle T-Shirts that would not have a problem understanding the concepts that you and the OP apparently DO NOT!!!!
Have you seen them before ?
How much notice did they give you ?
Wanted me to be on stand by. Lol!
C'mon fellas this is not acceptable!

Maybe to take a longer appointment instead? I can understand your frustration in having people cancel on you last minute but shit happens. Don't come on here and "threaten" us that you're not coming back to DC. You didn't come to DC cuz you missed us all so much and you couldn't stand to be away... You came here to make money. Nothing wrong with that at all but it's a risk/reward situation and this time you came out on the short end of the stick. Like Curly said, there aren't any more cancellations here than any other major city you go to. It was luck of the draw and it didn't work out this time. Don't come crying on the boards about it. Grow up and realize that sometimes it's the cost of doing business. I'm sure other times you've come here and killed it or else you wouldn't have scheduled a return trip.
If you decide not to see those people that cancelled on you or asked for cancellation fees going forward, I wouldn't blame you... But don't come on here talking shit about DC mongers as if we ALL cancelled on you. I, for one, don't appreciate it.

And met many wonderful people.
Many regular friends. Plus I have college friends and enjoy the city tremendously. So you are incorrect on several aspects.
But I hate to be the one to tell
That DC has grown a huge reputation for no shows and cancellations and many ladies won't tour in DC for this reason.
Just a heads up.
It's been mentioned on this board before.
Have a great day
Kisses
Elle
No one is inviting you here with a guarantee of income...
Elle...Sad to say your right. DC has the reputation of NCNS for clients and Im sure its probably accurate. The issue keeps coming up again and again.
Now just why is this you wonder? Well, I think its just part of the mental makeup of a sizable percentage of the local client base. You do understand how important they are and what they do dont you? Oh, well to be sure, they are really important and in their universe everything they choose or not choose to do reflects this. As a provider, you are just another appointment...Appointments get broken all the time when something more important comes up. All day every day this happens. Now these people are the exception not the rule around here fortunately, but it can really screw up your day when you run into a few of them all at once.
Im sorry you had a poor experience here Elle. I hope your bad time was the exception not the rule or our rep will really suck and no one will come here despite the great potential for success! When you talk to your peers about visiting DC, I can only ask you emphasize the need to screen potential clients and use the provider boards to eliminate the usual suspects. As you pointed out(thank you), we aint all jerks...most of us have never NCNS and really try to keep that record intact.
In any event best wishes and good luck to you! Hope the rest of your tour goes well
Why didn't you answer his question?

This isn't the first time a provider has ranted on this board about a cancellation and threatened to never return. The rants dont change anything. There will always be cancellations and there will always be an abundance of providers visiting our area. Nothing you say is going to change that. This isnt news to us...it's been a topic for years. Yet, people still visit because this city is full of working professionals with disposable income.
Just move on...you're not making yourself look good by making threats to never return. We simply don't care.
I agree with Curly, DC is no different from other major cities. People have busy fast paced jobs in major cities and schedules can change unexpectedly. Too bad Vegas girl seems to think everyone's on vacation with flexible schedules like how guys are in Vegas. She shoots herself in the foot and earns herself a new reputation of being a drama queen and a bitching whiner in a city that is more affluent than majority of other cities and full of men with stable income. I certainly won't be seeing her. Darwin award candidate.
I'm not from Vegas either lol, Darwin!
Keep up the good detective work though and thanks for your contribution.
There are plenty of DC men that can vouch for my scores, that I have visited all over this country.
Evidently Darwin you missed the point, it seems that D.C. Has acquired this reputation for NCNS and last minute cancellations. No need to get your panties all twisted up your prostate. It's a fuck board thread and it appears that you are seriously lacking to be spewing out nonsense. Maybe you need a scotch, scotch, scotch? Tough day at the office I guess.
Cheers

Keep on 'stroking' those DC gents. Don't come back and build your base. Don't bite your tongue on a pair of no shows. Lash out. Genius marketing. Sheer genius.

This uh diatribe will surely have the scoundrels regretting what they missed. Showing up in basically a city you don't visit and bashing the guys via a gross generalization surely an interesting marketing ploy.

And as I stated this is clearly an issue in DC more so than other places.
Lesson learned.
Besides, I don't need to travel to make my living nor can I with my successful personal life.
I was simply making a point and hAving an adult conversation.
Apparently some took very much offense to it. That's just sad.
Move on, I have.

You definitely mentioned implementing cancellation fees in your OP.
Further, you also asked everyone to chime in so it's pretty ridiculous that you are now totally defensive and name calling (bbbjnqns queen) at people who disagree with your BSC rant. Very "adult" conversation... You should be really proud of yourself.
LMAO!!! Please keep your word and don't come back. PLEASE. There's obviously a huge shortage of providers here. I hope we can all make it without you.
Gimme an fn break.
and some don't. I loved her description of her personal life as "hugely successful" I paraphrase. And she can't even recall minutes later that she in her initial thread decided she was going to implement cancellation fees. Hey, if she can do it, have at it. This thread is quite amusing. As a guy who gets to DC on occasion, I find the ladies there top shelf and never complain (more than others) about cancellations. Someone must think they are overly important?
I still can't believe what this gal thinks the upside is to a threAD like this? I'm confused.
What an angry lady. Either come back and work on your client base in DC or kick the city to the curb in the future. Why the public rant here? Other than to remind you DC guys how bad they suck.

Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason
I cannot speak for anyone but myself but I’m willing to bet there are a lot of guys around here in the same situation I am. Because of the nature of my business my schedule can change based on the priority of the moment. So when a client needs my assistance do I make them wait or fulfill the terms of my contract and take care of them? For me the answer is simple, I take care of my client. After all, without them I’m not making any money and couldn’t afford to hobby.
(Yes, making them wait a few hours can/does create big issues for my clients and the way they deal with me taking longer than we agreed is to replace me with someone who doesn’t. How do I know this? I pick up new clients all the time because the last guy took too long to respond.)
I’m a cup half full kind of guy so rather than bash each other IMHO I think we should share ways to make it better for everyone.
A solution that has been working pretty well for me is I ask to be penciled in with the understanding that if the lady gets a more secure booking it’s ok to take me off the schedule. It’s a win – win. If she gets a more secure offer I move on or reschedule. If I have to cancel it’s really no harm done because she didn’t turn away any other opportunities waiting for me. If the stars align we both get what we want. Of course there is communication between us so it’s not as volatile as it sounds and cancelations from either side are pretty rare. It’s not a perfect solution but seems to work pretty well.
I'm sure that there are other ways to address this
I knew you are in town and would love nothing more than to be suffocated by your DDs. However, circumstances have kept me from hobbying recently but knowing this I stay clear of booking.
Also Elle, the providers are just as guilty of this also. We cancel plans, have to lie to our wives/gfs about our whereabouts and burn valuable hours out of our schedules to see providers. Just to have it fall apart at the last minute.
Sadly, this is a fact of life for the people who partake in this industry. It cuts both ways but please keep in mind that you are not taken for granted Elle.
Yes, lots of kisses everywhere

Very well stated, had a provider flake (just once) and scrambled and then gave up. Thats why I think agencies are great for both parties. If a client flakes, there will be another looking for a spot last minute. If something happens, there often times is an alternative based on the size of the agency.
I hear independents bemoaning the fact of lack of business or cancellations, but you make it too difficult to get screened, need days if not weeks advance notice, and then things happen to your schedule, too.
As mentioned, cuts both ways.
"Why agencies are great?" Did you really just say that? Talk to any of the guys in ATL shitting bricks right now over two major agencies going down with who knows how much male personal info? Good luck with agencies.

DC is known for clients who book multiple ladies' times, and then decide last minute who they are in the mood to see. DC has one of the worst reputations.....However, it is also contributed by traveling guys' (When I use the word "guy" rather than "gentleman", it is meant in a very derogatory sense.), because there is a large transient element here.
Take their information and post it on Danger Zone 411, i,e, All the information you have from them. (They are screwing with your income. For them, it is just a romp in the sac, but for you it is your livelihood!) Too many think this is a one way street, however we also have venues to report bad behavior such as being too rough, violence, camping, gossip mongers, or just plain old *ssh*les, etc. There are a few different sites for ladies in the business, but Danger Zone is my first recommendation.
Good luck in your future ventures,
Sydney

Thanks for outing yourself. I'm sure your business will do wonders after this post.
she is clearly bat shit crazy and dangerous!
I just play one on TV. Though I have met Syd twice, I doubt she even remembers me, so there's no kissing up here. I think she was joking. That's why she threw in the "if you are completely nuts" and the "*grins*".
It is a pretty scary joke, but it does fit her sense of humor, which is pretty wicked, as I recall.
But maybe my perspective is off because if somebody came to my job saying "dcpoorboy pays for sex," my employers' first response would be "Who?" and then "So do we, we must be paying him too much."
Often, guys, in response to complains of their cancellations, like to respond by saying "You do it too." There is no comparison between an hobby and a livelihood. When a lady cancels on me, I say to myself, "Great I just saved some dough. I'm just gonna go ahead and take case of business myself" and be done in 10 minutes -- which saves time as well.
You're a real piece of work.
Suggesting that a provider show up at someone's workplace because they cancelled a date?
WHAT????
Am I reading that correctly? Wow, you are a total disgrace.
why do they keep getting appointments?
Are their references checked?
Take their information and post it on Danger Zone 411, i,e, All the information you have from them. (They are screwing with your income. For them, it is just a romp in the sac, but for you it is your livelihood!) Too many think this is a one way street, however we also have venues to report bad behavior such as being too rough, violence, camping, gossip mongers, or just plain old *ssh*les, etc. There are a few different sites for ladies in the business, but Danger Zone is my first recommendation.
Good luck in your future ventures,
Sydney
BTW: If you are completely nuts, go to their place of business and scr*w with their income! (See how they like it! *grins*)
I don't see very many people and my old friends always take priority.
I had two cancelled appointments in one day. I hate to say it but I'm leaving early and will not
Be returning as many other reputable providers have expressed the same. It's such a shame because this town used to be full of life, fun And action. Now, it seems as though the respect or lack there of for a providers time is of no significance.
I would like to know if somebody had an explanation for the general lack of respect for our time. Touring is never easy and lots of preparation and money are major factors.
I hate to say it but myself, along with many other top reviewed ladies, have taken D.C. Off the list of touring cities to visit and this is why.
I know this had been addressed before however clearly the point was not received.
To those that cancelled, please do not use me for a reference.
And to the ladies, I apologize for having given you the OK when I was asked for a reference. From now on cancellations will be mentioned and rightfully so.
I have decided to cut my trip short and head home. There are plenty of gentleman that stand by their word and keep their appointments as planned, sometimes weeks in advance.
And no the dog didn't eat your phone, your not sick (again), after I just received a verification from a provider last week for you :-/. It's a matter of respect my time is just as valuable as yours.
Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason.
Would love to hear you voice on this matter.
Some time, money, planning, advertising etc go I to this venture and it seems that I/we are just taken for granted.

Its not just you, it happens all over the city all the time. Filled with self important A-type personalities and the BS travels downhill. Ask any lobbyist how often a member of congress has cancelled on him for a speaking engagement. Probably like you, they don't do it unless absolutely necessary, because they will flake on you.
President? Hah! Let's shut down half the city for three hours because I'm going to travel half a mile from the White House to an event.
People get pulled into meetings all the time at the last minute, its horrible.
Its not just you, it happens to a lot of people; from piano teachers to restaurants - its the entire city...and yes, its horrible and disrespectful - but then again, look at Congress' approval rating.
.....many of my gentlemen callers are active in politics, law, lobbying, etc, and can get called in to a meeting at a moment's notice, need to race to the Hill to cast a vote, department chair has a last minute meeting with the dean, or God forbid, get's held up by a motorcade. Most parents these days both work, and sometimes it's the dad who might have to pick up a sick child, etc. Life happens.
Most of my gentlemen callers understand, and appreciate that time is money, and take care of my cancellation fee, or reserve more time the next time we see one another.
DC is a different market: not better or worse; just different.
Hugs and Kisses,

Empathize with you and understand why you're pissed. 2 cancelations = 1k so I understand the tone of your post. But you also have to understand that things happen which may require immediate attention.
Take today for example, I planned to leave work between 6:30 - 7pm. But shit happened that keep me in the office until 8:30. Unplanned but important shit come up that will take priority over an appointment. Not trying to belabor the point, but Like most people have pointed out, it cuts both ways. I have been canceled on by "reputable" providers plenty of times. 1 hour appointment in the DMV = 3 hours in real time. It's takes an hour each way to drive from point A to point B in this area due to the horrendous traffic. And that's time you can never get back.
BTW, I wish I knew your were visiting the area because I would have definitely seen you. You've been on my naughty girl list for a while. I like naughty girls.
It goes in spurts. It seems like when one cancels then more follow. Then for weeks it's perfect. I tour a little so know what it's like. Sometimes you just have to keep trying.
There are always providers who will point out DC as being big on canceling. The same really can be said for anywhere. It's all just timing. I think DC is great so don't totally give up!
Let's have some perspective. 
I've moved on and so should you.
Maybe I'll see you at the next meet and greet. Lol
Scotch, scotch, scotch and a prostate exam to remove your panties!
Now go get some perspective, find a nice crystal glass and pour yourself one stiffy it's happy hour!

I guess you feel the need to keep chiming back in to let us know you don't care and were "laughing the entire time"...sure you were.
Isn't it "funny" to see the backlash caused when someone makes idiotic judgements of an entire city because of a couple of cancellations? Face it, you were pissed, you tried to share your misery with others in a weak attempt to get other providers to stop visiting DC, and it failed miserably.
You'll be back.
Yet she whines about two cancelations and claims two cases supports the false stereotype that DC has a bad rep. Contradict much? Clearly not a very smart girl and doesn't belong in a city full of educated people.
With that, it's GUARANTEED it will be a looong time before you have another cancellation in DC.
in many cases. Things can change and even traffic can change, lol.
I like going to a general area and seeing who is available 30 or 60mins from when I call. Agencies are built for it as opposed to polling Indys in an area.
-- Yes, clients cancel on escorts, both those locally based and those visiting. Dates with escorts are playtime for us, and when work conflicts, most of us will choose work over play. This shouldn't surprise anyone. It has happened to me before, and I hate it, but I have to prioritize. I always ensure to let a lady know ASAP and offer my profuse apologies.
-- NCNS is never acceptable. Cancellations given with sufficient advance notice, however, should be accepted as a cost of doing business and part of the vagaries of modern life.
-- For those escorts who can't stand cancellations, a simple solution exists: when a client schedules a date, ask for a 25%, 50% or even 100% advance booking deposit. If he cancels, you still get some or all of your money. You can do this through Paypal or other services in a straightforward manner.
-- We clients won't necessarily like this approach, but if we really want to see a lady, we won't complain
