The older I get, I better understand the importance of reliability and professionalism in all aspects of our little hobby.

I had a multi-day trip planned in LV with a local girl.  She is young, pretty and we have done these types of meetings in the past.  She has been inconsistent in her attendance but I have always wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt since we do have fun together when she does show up.

Now this trip, we had made several plans including show tickets, dinner reservations, etc.  In addition, I had the effort to arrange for time away from work and family, not to mention the cost of travel, hotel, etc.

Now she no shows me again and I am left to wonder, why do I allow this to happen.  I know I will get the typical big head/little head thing and I agree with the analogy.  I am just publicly admitting my stupidity but encouraging all the men out there to think about the reliability of your chosen companion.

In LV, there are so many lovely ladies that take this profession seriously.  Have the beauty, personality and attitude to show any lucky man a great time.  So regardless of if you are a local or visiting, take a long, hard look at your choices.  

Chose wisely and chose one of the ladies that deserve your affections by showing a consistent record of professionalism and respect.

There's plenty of wonderful women .
We do get sick , have outside obligations ,businesses ect.  
To just blow you off all together with no call or anything isnt anyway to treat someone in any business.  

If this has always been a issue , it will continue to be a issue. Many are stuck in their ways and don't see anything wrong with it until they are called out.  

If your okay with the behavior ,then continue on. As long as you allow the behavior it will continue.  

Best of luck to you in finding someone to respect your dates.  

..if I were in your position, I *might* allow myself to be persuaded to give her a second shot--but just for an evening, 2 or 3 hour date.

I don't think I would ever schedule a multi-day date with her ever again--certainly not until she had built up her "cred" with me by a long record of not no-showing me for shorter dates.

You mention that she was "young"--I don't know how young we're talking here, but the ones who are still in their early to mid-20s are often too young for me--and this is one of the reasons why.  You don't see this from too many slightly more mature women.

unexpected things can happen, but you said, and I quote "She has been inconsistent in her attendance".

So it would seem its happened fairly regularly.

If that's the case, I would drop her and move on to someone who appreciates your custom, and who turns up when expected

I am in complete agreement.  That is my take-away from this.  A mid 20s party girl may be a lot of fun but come with baggage.

However, if you take time to look at ladies that have invested in their profession.  history of good reviews, a reputable web-site, pairings with reputable ladies, etc. the odds go way up.

It just takes me longer to learn these lessons.

You know the good ones, your not a new kid on the block.

I have already had some PMs with some nice thoughts from the ladies.  Thank You!

I have also had some inquiries about the ladies identity.  If I wanted to share, I would have.  I am not looking for pay-back.  I am simply expressing my learnings in the hopes of contributing to the board.

This is a hobby with people.  With that comes the occasional issue with family, private life, etc.  We all have issues.  I think the best ladies always communicate, regardless of the issue.

As for me, the trip is not a total loss.  I had a chance to see some friends from my past and they have helped me make some new friends.  There are some wonderful people in this hobby.  Be a giver not a taker to the hobby and it will repay you!

And it goes both ways. If I cancel within 24 hours then your next date is half the fee. If I no show then your next date is free. This is the case no matter what the reason is. So far I've never missed or canceled a date, ever, so it has been a non-issue.  
In this same vein I hear about ladies who show up late. I am chronically on time. I guess that makes me a clock watcher but my policy is to make up tardiness by staying longer. So if I am 10 minutes late you can expect me to stay 20 minutes past the allotted time. It is only fair that I don't waste your time just like I don't expect you to waste mine.  
Your post is incredulous. What kind of girl does this to a guy? If you cannot trust her to show up then how can you trust her with anything else

I think we stayed past our time a bit since I was 4 minutes late

So much to be thankful for when I'm in your company

so sorry that happened to you. Honestly, i would not give a client a second chance if he did that, So why give the provider a second chance, its' wrong. She is Not respecting your time. There are plenty of us that are True to our word and are on time and if are going to be even five mins late, we call. I am one of those. You respect my time and I respect yours.

this has happened to you.It is frustrating when a person no call no shows you once but more than once that is a pattern IMO.I understand things happen but in this day of technology a email,phone,text,hell a carrier pigeon(okay you get the gist)lol a short message cancelling is just courtesy on both sides of the coin.
Sounds like your trip was not a total loss you got to spend time with friends and enjoy vegas.

But,so not cool to waste someone's time and then to do it more than once totally unacceptable.
At least now you know what type of person you were dealing with.
I will say please do not lump all mid 20 ladies in the same bunch as being party girls or being inconsiderate of another person's time.There are many of us in that age range that will show up on time and rock your world.Something that I have learned in this business is that when a person waste your time once and you give them another chance majority of the time there will be some other issue down the road.
Some treat this as business and respect a gent's time just like a gent respects a provider's time and then there are others on both sides of the coin that don't have a clue.

You are absolutely correct.  I did not mean to imply that all younger girls are party girls.  I know some very professional ladies that would fit into that group.  I only meant that you need to look at the bigger picture and there may be other reasons for her lack of commitment to the hobby.

If I were to look at you i would say you have alot going for you.  Good reviews, good web presence.  Respected by other ladies in LV, etc.

My apologies as I would not want to cast a wide net.  Marie Styles, Kristy Made and others are ladies I know and respect that still fit that age group and respect the hobby.

Thanks for your input.
