Well, I wish I could echo all the sentiments here, but Robyn really wrecked my night.

We made an appt for later than I'd usually ever do, but I really wanted to see her based on everyone's nice words, reviews, and pics she sent me.

Instead, after I traveled to see her, Robyn made up some BS story at the last minute about a woman in a neighboring room who was somehow stalking her and she was afraid to come out of her room.  I invited her to come downstairs for a drink, and she agreed, and then never showed up.

Incredibly disappointing and a completely wasted night.  I am guessing she had someone book the rest of her evening sometime earlier and rather than being up front about it and cancelling, did it this way.  I'm pissed.

I assume you called Allstate, the good hands people.

Too bad it did not work out.

...come out and said that it was you that must have done something wrong.

It always amazes me when a woman does not complete an appointment with a customer, everything is just "ducky" and nothing is wrong, but if a man no-shows just once, he is a total jerk, and should be banished forever..

Why?

Shit Happens!!  There was a situation which resulted in quite a bit of anxiety.  She attempted to call you and only got your voice mail.   Obviously, she wouldn't leave a message.  I know you're very disappointed, I would be too.  But her actions were strictly on the side of caution.  Nothing else to say, other than... she rocks!!

First off:  I'm not interested in turning this into a cage match between SP's and hobbyists.  I am not a big fan of stereotypes, and let's face it, if you're on either side of the equation, it's not in one's interest to pass blanket judgments.  

In the interest of setting the record straight:  I spoke with Robyn when I arrived, and she explained this supposed "incident" to me - that her neighbor was standing outside her door and wouldn't leave her alone.  Personally that sounds like a damned good reason to sick security on someone.  Robyn said she was going to try and switch rooms.   I certainly understand that this sort of thing happens, and I was very patient about it until it became clear to me that I was simply being dismissed.

Problem #1 was when she called back to say that there were no rooms left to switch to.  I suggested that she come meet me for a drink in the lobby to let the situation cool off for a while, and she agreed to get dressed and come downstairs.  I honestly expected that to happen, and was genuinely surprised at the way things turned out.  I was looking forward to the drink and chat.

While I waited for Robyn to come down, I called reservations at the hotel and found that in fact there were available rooms.  I figured, worst case scenario, I'd get a room myself and salvage the night, giving her the benefit of the doubt.  Never got the chance to offer that, since I did not have the opportunity to speak to Robyn again.

15 minutes later, as it's dawning on me that I'm getting blown off, I tried to call her back, and she didn't answer.  She did in fact call me back, and the call must've gone straight to voice mail (as will sometimes happen) - and did leave a message cancelling the appt. This was now 30 minutes past the original appt time - 10:30pm.  Message was pretty offputting...she could "try to squeeze me in another time" and that she was "sorry for the inconvenience".   I tried to call her back several times, texted her...she clearly had shut her phone off at that point or was simply ignoring my calls.  THAT really pissed me off - she clearly just wanted to either hang it up for the night - or more likely, extend her evening with the client who was there at the time.  At ths point, on the way out the door, I left a polite, professional, but stern voice mail with Robyn expressing my displeasure at the way I was treated.  If she had done me the courtesy of picking up the phone to talk to me, or calling me back, I would never have posted the start of this thread.

"Shit Happens" is not what happened here, Ol Desperado.  

My experiences in the hobby have been overwhelmingly positive and I respect the ladies that earn their living this way.  I treat them respectfully and, for the most part, really enjoy my time with them.  Regardless of who blows off who, it's rude, and incredibly annoying.  In my case, a massive waste of time and energy at a time of night where alternate plans were not possible.  As is evident from the amount of effort put into this post, I was really looking forward to meeting Robyn.  Perhaps I'll hear from her and post again with better news.

Oh, and nice burn, Foodguy.  It was good to laugh about this.

Is funny how U have a guy with 74 reviews most of them from Boston and then another one "Old Deperado" with only 4 reviews NONE from Boston  sticks up for Robin. If Canada wants to post a comment he has every right to do so without some IDIOT jumping down his throat

Hope you don't have a GIANT letdown this weekend!!  

Robyn is one of the most upstanding down to earth and understanding providers I see on a regular basis.  I had a great time with her again, as usual this trip out.  It sounds as if the whole incident was related to a rogue hotel guest who had issues and was causing a ruckus.  Lets face it how does a provider call hotel security on another guest without drawing undue attention to themselves?  Most providers I know try to keep very low key and insure  their safety and that of the clients. If there is even the slightest suspicion on the mind of the provider then playing it safe is better than being sorry later at the jailhouse!  I would say you just happened to have an appointment at the wrong time and Robyn was looking out for both your confidentiality (how would you like it if you went to the room and saw same crazy lady marching up and down the halls?) and her safety.

I know Robyn is well respected, and that's why this was so shocking and frustrating.

I can understand the idea of not drawing attention; still doesn't explain the fact that Robyn claimed there were no other rooms to move to when reservations told me otherwise, or why she didn't have the courtesy to return my call. Clearly, I was blown off.

Nobody died. Time to move on, this is my last post on this topic.

I am not sure if you noticed but inside some establishments your phone looses cell service - that may be why her call (you said she left VM) went direct to VM.  You sound like a reasonable guy - I'd give her another try.  Not trying to be too shillish however the poster above who stated shit happens is right on with this incident.  It could be written up in "News of the Weird"  I am not a VIP or I would PM you.

She has every right to see whoever she wants, whenever she wants; but she should be up front with the guys going out of their way to see her.  Seems to have excuses when it happens, but the call ducking is too coincidental.  Just saying.

This board is about being able to bring this stuff up.  If she wants to pay more attention to her regulars, she should let the new ones off the hook before they put themselves out too much.  And the guys thinking about seeing her should be aware that this could happen; particularly when they loose all contact - it's good to know it's not the first time so that you don't keep trying like a fool.  She seems great, but a little hard to hook up with.

With the standard "I had a great session with her, so it must be you who is the problem", type post.

Why is it that men feel they have to defend a woman who clearly was in the wrong?

Pussy:  it's the great motivator.  

Doesn't mean it's right, but it is why.

Profound!!!!!!!!

I Like it!

It doesn't matter how well respected a or trustworthy a provider is, there is no excuse for the lack of a phone call.

If the situation were reversed and Canada Lover blew off and no showed Robyn there would probably be hell to pay on this board!

I wasn't going to comment on this thread, allowing the parties, instead, to clarify things and set the record straight, over time and privately, as it should have beeen done IMHO.

Too_Coincidental should grow some balls and use their real handle instead of casting stones from the shadows as an alias. My guess is that this is the fellow who had the lady continuously adjusting her schedule for him over a multi-hour period of time during her last visit and who was rightly shouted down for his immature series of rants on this board. Grow some, will ya or sit down and shut up!!

I make no judgement about the report made in the initial thread or the correctness or incorrectness of anyone's actions or decisions concerning the incident in question or of its reporting here. I wasn't there and I didn't walk in either party's shoes. I do know Robyn however, as she is a friend of mine and a provider I have come to know and respect over time. She enjoys an outstanding reputation in her own community and in several areas across the country. This did not sound like the woman I know.

I did speak to her personally about things and from what I've learned, the lady did what she thought was correct and proper at the time and under some pretty unusual circumstances, I might add, to insure her own safety as well as the privacy and safety of her clients.

Do I understand Canadalover's frustration - you betcha. It's never fun to get caught up in this kind of situation regardless of the reasons and through no fault of your own.

I never said anything derogatory about Robyn as a provider, I just pointed out that she seems to have a problem following through with the hobbyist that is trying to hook up with her.  This has happened at least once during each of her past two trips.  She cannot be reviewed because she is UTR, so the only way any of this can be discussed is here.

I would hope that she would just learn to have closure on the appointment canceling.  If you read the complaints, you will see that the most frustrating aspect was not the appointment being canceled, but that she became unreachable without a clear cut answer.  On one, she says she got fed up, on the other, she says she couldn't call back (however, she has yet to explain why she couldn't have just gone down to meet the guy like she said she would.)

Again, she may be a fantastic provider. The guys who do get to see her obviously are moved to her defense, so she must be good.  I don't see why you feel compelled to "defend" her and are "pissed off" just because some have a problem with her lack of communication.  

As to why an alias.  Well, quite simply, I may hope to be one of the lucky ones during her next trip and I don't want to jeopardize it. I do, however, want her to at least work on this issue so that there is not another problem like this on her next trip.

Maybe you should step back and really look at the problem here.  Nobody is attacking her, they just want her to communicate better. You can put away the sword and calm down.  By the way, I am not the person from the last time, but I did remember his post, which is what caused me to respond to the thread.

yeah, she wrecked my night, too, but what do I know I'm just a "freak." Just read my posts from mid-December to find out how. The reason for the multiple postings was that I was seeing other people's posts going up that were dated much later than the ones I originally put up so I assumed my earlier posts were being moderated. And as for those people who used an alias while making fun of my postings GROW SOME BALLS and use your actual handle.

for bringing up the issue.  If you hadn't, then the pattern couldn't have been seen.  Thanks.  This is the place, after all, for this kind of thing to be discussed.

Both you and canada have a very legitimate gripe about communication. Neither one of you ever said anything about her as a provider, just about leaving you hanging.
