10 maybe 15 minutes WITH a phone call I am running late, to me is one thing but totally disrespectful of another's time is disrespectful! Do yo agree? Playtime is so often squeezed into really work and family and well, I get so frustrated with people who think you just sit around waitng for them...... we ALL have a REAL life outside this and especially as you get older.....time is valuable and every minuteof every day is accounted for. It is just rude I think to just assume but maybe from agents point of view its different........

I like to pride myself on being a punctual person so 10 to 15 minutes with a valid reason shared with the other party by phone or text is about right.  However, everyone needs to recognize that “things happen”, unanticipated delays due to traffic, last minute important telephone call as you are leaving the office, problems finding a place to park in the city, public transportation delays if you use that mode of transportation.  One time driving to an appointment years ago I was involved in an automobile accident [the other guy blindsided me].  That not only spoiled my day but I had to reschedule the appointment two days later.  
This point is somewhat unrelated to the topic, however, some ladies may not realize or appreciate the time “spent” by the hobbyist before and after an appointment; research, communications, time to provide references, related booking details, travel to and from an appointment.  So an hour or two hour appointment might turn into 3, 4 or more hours.  Our time is valuable too.  NOT complaining, simply stating what might not be obvious to some.

Be well and enjoy the long weekend

For the woman aswell, an hour appointment is so much more then an hour. I personally need an hour just to pull myself together so I am clean and pretty. And then yes, the time verifing references etc and emails back and forth adds to the time. So I suppose for all, time is more then as stated but so well worth it when you find a friend you truely enjoy being with! A no show is bad enough and a few minutes early or late is another but that line of 15 to 30 minutes is a difficult frustrating one!

I hear you Doll and understand

Generally I turn up late - Yes it's pathlogical. So in one occasion  the lady played out really welll over cell phone not even giving a hint till i sat on her laps . I was 45 mins late. I payed for one hour, but got only 15 mins. Truth . I learnt my lesson. Cheers

So you got what you deserved

This has happen to me several times this last month. Between work and other obligations my time is limited.  I think some men think we just sit around in high heels playing with our selves all day long.

what they'se saying is "my time is much more important than yours".

I say "chronically", because, yes, shit happens.  But when it happens all the time, you need to look at your MO.  Realy: would you walk up to someone in person and say to them "I have NO respect for you or your time"?

Doubt it.....

All of us have lives. I don't waste ladies time and don't want them wasting my time.

I plan so that I am at a ladies incall at the planned time. I expect her to be ready. I don't waste her time and don't want her to waste my time. When taking an outcall, I want the provider to plan and be on time, time sloppiness takes the bloom of the moment bigtime. With modern smartphones, there is no reason why a hobbyist should be able to get away with the getting caught in the office by an urgent call, all important short meeting duration information should be at that person's fingertips, even in a taxi.

....and waiting for your phone to ring??  Just kidding!  I agree 100%.  I tell my gentlemen, that if you are going to be more than 10 minutes late, to please give me a courtesy call.   Everyone on this board is a professional in their field, and we all deserve respect.  If I am scheduled for an outcall, and know that I will be even a few minutes late; I call.

Hugs and Kisses

Excellent post and topic! I concur wholeheartedly that we are all professionals. While we truly give our best in the most sensual of ways and may not punch a clock so to speak we do have other outside obligations. Each lady works differently, some are full time, some are part time, and some are basically very part time ( either by request or when their schedules allow). It always takes time to prepare properly just as it does for any business meeting, only more so due to the personal nature of our meetings. Our meetings are not meant to be business like but ethereal in nature and entirely designed to fit an individuals specific tastes and desires. Setting the tone for that and being properly prepared does take time for all parties concerned. Just as we like a heads up if someone should be late, we should always let them know on an outcall. I always make contact if I'm running late or stuck in traffic. Sometimes a simple call can do so much.

Of course then again I thought we sat around peeling grapes all day waiting for the phone to ring? Boy was I confused! Those suckers are slippery!

glad everything is OK

I am almost always early by 30mins or more....if the average incall is $300/hr you can bet I've cost myself double that amount with lost work due to drive time+playtime+ recovery time. Then add fuel and time wasted sitting around by being early. So I get really irritated when the provider is running late. And that is way too common! Of the "first encounter" meetings I've been on, less than half were on time.
My ATF is that for a reason, since day one she calls me 5 to 15 mins before and we run very slightly long everytime.....besides being smart and sexy, she seems to value my time. It keeps me from searching for a new ATF.
