Dear members of this board~


This is my first post but I visit this board on a regular basis for more than 5 years to do research and have seen hundreds of ladies.  I have used many different agencies and seen many independents throughout my years of enjoying this hobby.  I felt a need to address an issue that has arisen with the agency, Aphrodite Companions recently.


I texted Aphrodite Companions during the day On Wednesday and asked if my number one choice was available at 6pm as it's the perfect time to see a companion after work to detoxify from the daily grind called work and stresses that arise.   I get a text back stating that she is available and I text back asking if it was customer appreciation day and ask for the discount as I have used the agency a few times before.  I never receive a text back.
 
At the end of the day, after several meetings and stress creeping in every pore of my body, I call the agency and ask if my number one choice is available but was disappointed that she was no longer available at the time I desired.  But Aphrodite Companions replies that someone else is available at 7pm and she would recommend seeing her.    I agree and make the appointment to see her.   I get to the hotel and call the agency for the room number but was ask to wait for her as she was still making her way into her room.  I wait patiently and then receive a call back to go see her.  I make my way into her room and she states that she literally just got into her room from her day of travelling and judging that she had her purse over her shoulder and overcoat on, I believe her.  Being a gentleman, I ask if she would like to order room service.  As dinner arrives, I leave the donation and pay for dinner.  We eat and watch some TV.  She states that her next appointment isn’t until 10pm and she feels glad that she doesn’t have a jam packed schedule as per usual.  As I move into the bedroom, she tells me that she has plenty of chores to do and suggests that I make another appointment for another time.  In conclusion, I paid for certain services but got conversation in which I can get at work or home which costs nothing.

I text back yesterday explaining what had transpired but was not offered a corrective remedy for this particular matter.

Members, I want your opinion on this matter as I am not a satisfied customer and feel really turned off by this agency.   In my years of hobbying, I have never experienced anything of this sort and will never use this agency again.  

why didn't you request your money back before leaving the room?

She had already put on her overcoat and told me that she needed to go find her luggage at her friend's room downstairs in the same hotel and get ready for her next appointment...This all happen over at the door.

Not surprising. I am not a fan of agencies. I find all of them are eventually the same, especially when they start hiring new people to do scheduling - They don't care. Only owners care.

Good for you. You are paying, you decide. I don't blame you one bit.  

My advice, stick with indy's - They are much easier to deal with and usually are more selective. Of course they are usually more expensive too.

I didn't say the owner's don't care. I said the people they hire don't care and ONLY the owner's care.

I have to say that I'm a regular customer of BDJ which I think also manages Aphrodite and I am an avid fan of all of their lovely ladies at BDJ and I have yet to have a bad experience with them. They're always prompt, courteous and the women are all lovely and beautiful!! Giselle and Elle are my ATF's!! And if they're not part of the same agency well then just take my comments as a solid recommendation on another agency.

I can understand why you're upset. You seem like a kind, thoughtful man. But as soon as you said you ordered dinner, ate and watched TV, I thought "he's going to run out of time."

If it was a multi-hour appointment, than you got royally screwed, but my assumption is that it was a one-hour appointment.

If a provider isn't settled in when we arrive or is so hungry that she needs to eat before a session, it's best to communicate clearly and upfront about the situation.  Would she like to reschedule? Would she like to go get a quick bite to eat and THEN start the session? Even though what you did was a very nice gesture, we shouldn't assume that the provider will give us extra time, particularly an agency girl.  

On the other hand, if your provider didn't plan to start the session after she ate, she SHOULD have said "that's very sweet of you, but if we have dinner, I'm afraid we won't have time for play"

I think it shows a lot of class that Pam is trying to make it right for you. A lot of agencies would simply say, "well, if you wanted dinner and then a session, you should have arranged a multi-hour dinner date."  Clearly, that's not what you had in mind, but a lot of agencies would not have cared.

RoDunn, I clearly stated to the agency before the meeting that if the companion is not ready, we can do it at another time.  I told her it's cold out and maybe we should rechedule.  The agency told me to wait and they called back within 5 minutes with the room number.

Seems like a class act to me that truly wants to make things right

Aphrodite and BDJ are affiliated agencies. In my opinion BDJ is the best agency you will find and Pamela is an intelligent individual, who understands that the interest of the customer is  paramount, for the welfare of her concern.

In your case you should have bailed out when it was evident that the provider was not prepared for the session. In that instance the fault lies with the provider and the "phone person" who set up the appointment. Both were very unprofessional and showed a disregard for your business, which should not be tolerated by any hobbyist, or any educated consumer. Nevertheless, you promoted the situation, by essentially allowing yourself to be disrespected. In other words, you were thinking with the wrong head, which we have all been guilty of at one time.  

Remember, you are paying your hard earned money for service and deserve such. Moreover, there are so many options available to the hobbyist that there is no need to put up with such nonsense.

out of all the agencys out there this is one of the finest  for handling any problems tha might arise  , pamela is  one of the easiest to talk to and get things arranged or in ur case worked out to  everyones satisfaction . i am sure one call to her and things will be taken are of .

Its very disrespectful to text message. Why didnt you call the agency and enquire about a meeting? This is typical protocol...not text messaging. And why would you ask for a discount before booking? Maybe she didnt get back to you because you were disrespectful in asking a discount.

She should give a discount if you were burnt in the past, but if her agency never did anything wrong before, why would she give you a discount??

NotTooIMpressed!, I have used the agency a few times before and was given a VIP number.  On the website, it states that you can text with your VIP number for faster service.  

Also if you are not familar with the agency, it's customer appreciation day on Wednesdays and there is a discount given.  I was texting to confirm the rate for the appointment.

Chores to do? Reminds me of when I was a kid and my friend down the street couldn't come out to play because he had chores to do. I've seen girls from this agency several times, most of the girls are lovely. The timing isn't always perfect like you alluded too but you're situation is rather strang. I mean lets  face it, these girls go to the mat with a guy after seeing, I don't know - at least a couple if not several other guys that same day, if not why bother with paying the overhead for the room and travel. Is it possibly she thought you were LE?

I have had the good fortune of meeting Pamela and I can attest she is a lovely woman who cares very deeply that the men she meets have a highly enjoyable experience.

Antietam, I stated before that I have used the agency, Aphrodite Companions, a few times before and I have a VIP number with the agency...why would she possibly think I was LE?

I'd use them again, and again. I'm NOT an agency fan, and NO white knight, but this is one of the best in the Northeast!

The agency promotes text messaging as a quick and easy way to set up appointments, so there was no disrespect there.  Also, the agency promotes a Wednesday customer appreciation discount, which is what he was referring to, so there was no disrespect there either.

Did eating dinner cause you to go over time? Did you schedule 1 hour?

She is very understanding and I respect her remedy to straighten out the situation.  Thank you, Pamela.  And thank you members for your feedback.

what should have been the corrective remedy in this matter?
