I think it is kinda funny

I would simply refuse to see a guy who was that oblivious. Here is the bottom line and before I start, let me say that I do understand the guy's side which is why in 8 years or so, I have canceled or been late for less than a handful of dates. But, this is your HOBBY and our business. All that shit you talked about having to go through is what you CHOOSE to go through for a piece of ass. When we cancel on you, you actually SAVE money because you were already set on spending x amount to fk a hooker. Now, when a guy cancels on us, we LOSE money... it's that simple.  

I'm sure it's simple...but I honestly can't wrap my head around that concept.

You're the one good at Math lol... add it up.

Kinda like a drug dealer who says "well, they chose to buy skag, not my fault they got addicted and ruined their life." Without us choosing to do this you'd be out of a job.

You obviously missed the very first line of my post which said I am not excusing anyone for acting unprofessionally, but to act as if you lose as much as the provider is comical. FYI, if not for your lack of self control, there would be no need for hookers in the first place. This is not the only job most of us get paid for, thank goodness. Every time ANY provider posts truth that you don't agree with, it's the 'jaded hooker'  or 'poor attitude' card. Surely, you can do better than that. I have never wasted anyone's time or been unprofessional, regardless of what my post pointed out. I can assure you, there is a reason I have regulars and don't 'have to' work every damn day or even every week.  

And slowly...please  

Get fkin real, and stop projecting. If your d*ck was not ruling you instead of the other way around, you'd just buy a damn puppy for companionship. "Low opinion of my customers? " LMAO. My customers (I prefer to call them friends) do not come on here and post the naive bullshit you are trying to spew. They damn well admit they are sexual beasts who just plain need it and will do just about anything to get it... sounds like you are the one who has not come to terms with your own reasons for being here, but I am not a shrink so I can't help you. FYI, I don't sit here and market myself as some sexual healer or courtesan, either honey. I get paid to fk and then to leave... no problems at all admitting that. You're insecure... that sucks.

but LR"s math escapes me too.  

Do you recommend these?

That is exactly correct. LR's logic is absurd. It's all about the value of an individual's time.   We happen to live in a market economy, and if a client who can afford to pay top-end rates most likely earns far more than a provider and, of course, is "out" a lot more money.

You refuse to see this is all about the value of people's time

Most of us can agree NCNS is a problem for BOTH hookers and johns alike. but for hookers to claim that they are the more seriously aggrieved party is ridiculous and actually acerbates the situation as rather that trying to put a stop to NCNS on both sides, we get dragged into pointless arguments about which "side" is the biggest offender.

I'm here to do business with people who don't show contempt for the fact that I'm here to do business with them.

It's unfortunate, no trust on bad side of the hobby in this city. The market is so bad for me I will have to travel or fly in ladies out of state to get quality service.  Both side loses money, I understand that, but both side have some reasonable understanding, especially ladies side, that's events, happens, especially in this fast pace environment we live in.  Based on the story above, if I get hit by a car before an appointment, I will get blacklisted, anyway, smh.  Come on and unfortunately for us clients if we get blacklisted by one provider, you get blacklisted by most others, smh.  The entire blacklist is a troublesome issue for the hobby, especially in this city, where there is small amount of quality ladies located here.

Kindly explain how he is 'out a lot of money' if she cancels and he did not spend it? My logic is absurd... you just proved my damn point. If I am prepared to spend 300 on some blow and the dealer is out sick, I just SAVED that money and he lost it. Wow... common sense is such a beautiful thing.  

Stop blaming the world for your choices, and get over it already. Guess what... I have never posted some 'poor me' NCNS thread when it comes to NCNS, because I don't deal with it. I have also never blacklisted a guy for not showing up or paying some lame cancelation fee after the fact. I do however keep it real, and if you choose to take part in this illegal business, you get what comes with it... um, so do we. You are not the one here trying to make money to feed your kids, are you? Many providers are, so gimme a fkin break with the cry me a river broken record. If your time is sooooo valuable as is your money, why spend it on ass? Just curious. I spend my money on dumb shit too, but guess what... you don't see me bitching about it, either.

Not if you still want the blow, but now you are out $500 worth of time and still want to spend the same $300 on blow. Your time is still your time. if your time is worth $500 hr and some one wastes 2 hours of it, you are out a thousand bucks worth of your time. How hard is that to grasp?

Called as requested to advise that I was on my way, traveling from far west Suburb to Arlington Heights. Had to make arrangements and such to make the appointment.  Made the call and was told the hotel and to call from parking lot.  Got to parking lot and was told that she and her friend had to step out and will be back in 15 minutes which turned into an hour before I called again and was told that it would be at least another hour.  I gave up as my window of opportunity was closing.

Guys "saving money" when a gal cancels. Whatever.

Unfortunately in this life, we have billions of people running around making new choices due to the choices of others.  

Drug addicts generally weigh a lot less, hon. Just sayin. I have random drug tests, but sure I did party during my undergrad years.  

That is totally unprofessional, and yes... damn right she should be held accountable for such behavior. That was never my issue... it was the contradictions of some. 1. If time is such a valuable thing, why waste it on a luxury item, then bitch about the very things we signed up for? It's really that simple. NEVER will a nut be more valuable than a mother working to feed her child.... NEVER. I am not saying that is the case for every provider here, but to act like this is something other than what it is, makes me chuckle.  

Nothing very complicated. It's just that one party did not live up to the terms of the deal and the other is upset and venting. In this case the OP is a guy and other cases the OP was a girl. Same shit different gender

in economic terms, when a guy schedules an appointment, and the lady sets the time aside, he now essentially holds an option. In the marketplace, people usually have to pay for options, because they have real value. if a guy cancels with no consequence, the effect is as if he got a free option.  Hard to see the market fairness of that to the lady.

If I cancel at the last moment, and I think this has happened only once, I will send a E-gift card to the providers e-mail address in an effort to show I care, take responsibility, and hopefully offer some form of compensation.
