Set up an appointment with this massage provider yesterday. All seemed fine, provided my references, received directions - nothing out of the ordinary until about 10 minutes before the appointment (when I was a few blocks away) I received an email = "Hey sweetie I have to reschedule". And that was it. I replied and texted for some clarification, no response.

You trash someone from behind an alias. Nice

Mr. Coyote,

I can't tell if the OP is describing a real NS or is her manager who concocted this story to punish her for going freelance.  Can you?
The fact that she does not respond does not say much. There is no evidence that she knows about this board or that the OP told her what he would do.

And if you take a look at the number of providers who get reviewed or discussed on here, most of them don't participate here.

Good points...a "manager" could be getting her name out there, too.  
Sometimes even bad publicity can build a girl's business. Not how I would do it but...

Hobbyists do this all the time and you know what we providers do?
 Schedule someone else .

Once the OP received directions and was only ten minutes from the appointed time, I would say she was obligated to either see the man, give a reasonable explanation, or accept the consequences.  Lacking an explanation, the OP decided to, understandably, go public. Don't providers have the option of blacklisting or spreading the word about unreliable clients?

You missed the point of my comment entirely.  
Since contracts aren't enforceable (I;e being that offering up handjobs or whatever prostitution type services in itself is technically not a legal profession at all here.
No one is obligated to see anyone they don't want to .
Forcing someone to see you against their will is not cool and it's definitely not cool to come on here like that because a lady changed her mind about seeing you.  
You aren't owed anything.  
Whether or not she's a legitimate provider is moot .
 

And wouldn't that be quite the shit show if every lady in town came on here complaining about the daily time wasters lol !!!

You are needlessly arguing semantics.  In this business it's about what you can get by with and what you can live with, what the market will bear.

t's about the fact said provider gave the best notice she could and he has no problem trashing her here for no good reason and demanding an explanation when none is needed.
Ladies are allowed to change their minds just like you fellas are - no explanation needed .
Just because it didn't work out for him does not mean she's "bad" or something wrong is happening there.  
I swear some guys who hide under aliases sound like toddlers who didn't get the toy that the other boy has.  
Also, let's not pretend that all of us here are the Virgin Mary and that no one calls a body rub provider in hopes of getting a hanjob or more lol

... which is, treat others as you'd like to be treated.  It's been called "the golden rule", and some consider it overly idealistic and infeasible in everyday life... as in the lives of providers and hobbyists, for example.

OK, I guess we read it differently.  I don't see where he 'demanded' an explanation or trashed her more than just giving his side of what happened.  To me, good business practice and common courtesy requires more than 10 minute notice and a 'can't make it' explanation.  Good luck to both of them and to you MsDynamite.

Now I have enough info to put two ladies on my list people I won't consider.

1. I communicated with Misty a few minutes ago. She had no idea she is being discussed here. The troll (aka alias) did not inform her he was going to post or of the post.  No surprise there. The Board rule barring slander apparently doesn't apply to trolls.  
2. I have seen Vi a half dozen times under another name.  Her reviews show and I agree she is one of the best masseuses in the business.  I will see her again in the next couple weeks and post another review of her.

1. Chicken shit for putting this type of criticism out on an alias.  
2.  She does not owe you an explanation for canceling the meeting at the last minute.  Some possibilities:
"I just got an onset of food poisoning [or any other malady] and don't want to have the shits while seeing you."
"My dog (mother, father, brother) just died."
"My close friend just dropped by unexpectedly and I really can't yank you off right now."

1) I'm not her 'manager'. That is something of an elaborate conspiracy theory, but you can believe me or not.

She is new and her reviews or standing clients up should be noted somewhere, this place is as good as any.  

Everyone else feel free to post whatever rant you want!  And BTW admins, I'm still cool as a cucumber.  

Just goes to show that TER ought to have both "likes" AND "dislikes".
Some posters get many " likes" which might lead one to wrong conclusions.
Personally, I liked/agreed with some points from both sides of this coin/discussion...and disagreed/didn't like as well...regardless of the poster.

I like your post knots.  And I think Vi has some valid points too.  What it boils down to, at least for me, is an appointment is never guaranteed until both client and provider see the whites of each other's eyes.  Plans are made, plans are broken, and plans are re-scheduled.  It happens all day every day in this business.  Along each step of the process each side gets the choice whether it's worth either his or her time to make it to the point of meeting.  Case in point...I had an appointment set up this past weekend.  From my experience, I texted my new friend in plenty of time prior to my appointment to again confirm we were on and to get the address.  Silence ensued.  My window of opportunity to make the scheduled appointment time slowly passed away and I chalked it up to a NCNS on her part.  I saved myself an hour round trip driving and waiting around time as she had only given me the general area in prior conversations.  Was I going to drive up to the area and hope for further texts or a call at that point.  Nope.  Was I pissed, no not really because I know there is no obligation for her to follow through.  Was I disappointed.  Sure.  Did I post a rant under an alias on TER.  Absolutely not.  I ended up hearing from her later that same evening.  She offered up an excuse (and I don't even care if it was real or not) that she was not feeling well and had laid down to rest to try to feel better, etc and fell asleep.  She offered to re-schedule and make up for the lost appointment.  That for me was plenty and I have plans to make another appointment in the near future.  Am I sure I will end up seeing this provider now that we have re-scheduled...definitely not.  It's the nature of this business.

Praise the lord...have I finally fallen off your radar?

Misty did, eventually, chime in to the thread, although her posts were pulled for reasons I'm not sure about (maybe at her request).

No one forced her to make the appointment.  Unless you have a true emergency that I'll understand.  Hate it when I drive 30-60 minutes and for whatever reason provider changes her mind.  To you I says FUCK YOU for wasting my time.  To me it seems like a lot of providers seem to think that their time is some how magically more valuable than ours.
I have verbally agreed do take on contract and turns out it took it was going to take more time and resource then I originally estimated, guess what I still completed the deal.  OP you did a good thing by informing us here.
 

Oh pardon me !
All I read from your original post was
"I'm gonna trash this new provider because she wouldn't see me for some reason that's none of my business so, that makes her a bad person whaaaaaaaaaa everyone look at me right now!
Title should of read;  
"Local misogynist seeks attention and thinks he's owed something for being canceled on."
Hey,
At least you got a damn email that's something quite a few people don't get.
Further so many complain that there's not a lot of new providers but you guys run them off by being ignorant dickheads.
Talk about eating cookies in bed ad wondering why the ants are there biting you. Eesh

And no one cares !
