I try to be as positive as possible but somethings are just ridicules.  NCNS is apprehensible. When I hear a provider say that she thinks 72hrs is fair for a cancelation.... I have to believe it isn't just  the the Philly hobbyist  that are at fault. Perhaps the providers expectations are out of whack.  If 24hrs isn't enough time for you to give for a cancellation then the provider needs to check herself.

Its hard enough for most guys to schedule fun time. Most men here are sneaking away from SO's and or their job to make time .
A provider wrote"However, to spend the time and make the effort to come visit and then be cancelled only 24 hours in advance, is not leaving me with the warm/Fuzzies"

When did 24 hr notice become ONLY?!!!...


Are we being criticized for canceling an appointment  24hrs early?...... GET REAL     Going home early because the next day isn't fully booked yet.....   Thats the fault of the city...... I dont think so....



Sorry I am not buying it. Philly is not that bad. Every tour is not going to be a sold out pre booked in advance tour. A lot of guys don't even call till the day that they want to see a lady because they don't know what time they will be free.



Philly is getting a bad rap and I think it is quite undeserved......



Sorry for the negative post but DAMN!!!

24 hours is plenty of time ...
Some people cancel with a lot less notice.
Things happen beyond our control sometimes, you got to be able to roll with the punches.

I couldn't agree with you more!  24 hours advanced notice is more that enough time!  I wish all the providers and agencies who cancelled on me would have given me 24 hours notice.

I can't tell you how many times I tried to book a same day appoinment only to be told she's booked solid, so where are all these cancellations, certainly I haven't benefitted from them!

Anything more than that....well it is simply better. Labeling the city is a generalization and a mistake.

I completely understand the a provider's commitment when they tour of time, effort and MONEY!. A woman can lay out a lot of money with the HOPE that she will make money and profit on the trip. Especially the first few times.

I go through the same things when I purchase new equipment in my business. I have a reasonable expectation that my customers will support the service and I will more than make my money back in the end. And it has always worked for me, but it is far from guaranteed.

We should both, always, do our best NOT to waste each others time. When it happens, it sucks for all of us. Let's respect each other and play nice.

I truly believe in taking a negative and trying to make a positive...I am not MAD, just disappointed as I said in my previous post....I just feel bad for the hobbyist who try to make time and don't get it because someone else had that time and cancelled so as to not give the other hobbyist time to make the "get away"....Let's don't get upset but use this as a learning tool to manage our time a little better...As Boris said, "Let's respect each other and play nice"....Well said...

Eve, I am sure you are a wonderful provider. Your reviews are outstanding. Please know this is not a personal attack to wards you. However the problems with canceling goes both ways.



I feel more sorry for the gentlemen that you are now canceling on because you feel you have better offers and more money to make  in NY.

"Well....I for one had a completely booked schedule for the next 2 days and had to turn appts away...I do apologize to those I had to turn down because now, I have had enough cancellations that I am only staying one night and then off to NYC to attend gentlemen that are confirming ahead of time...."

So let me get this right...
You have maybe half of your confirmed appointments cancel.(3or4) To remedy that you in turn cancel on the other half of hobbyist that have confirmed appointments .

That doesn't sound fair to me.

 There are times when I have actually had  to request time off from work to see a provider. Or I might have had to make up some kind of ridiculous  lie to get away from a SO.


Again this isn't directed at just Eve but is more about the overall fairness of this perceived problem with Philly guys canceling.

I have NEVER cancelled an appointment and did not cancel any here in the city of Brotherly Luv....My appointments that cancelled were such that it made more sense to go on to NYC tomorrow than wait until Thursday....The one I had tomorrow afternoon was nice enough to move up to allow me to get the train at an early time...

NOW....I don't get mad at anyone and all those that know me, know that...I was more upset that I had to turn gentlemen away for the few appts that booked multiple hours and then cancelled...I tried to recontact those hobbyist to see if they wanted to meet up, but I certainly don't blame them for having other things going on at late notice...

BOTTOM LINE (and I promise this is all I will say), is that I was disappointed--NOT MAD  and life is too short to get all hot and bothered over something outside of my control...

I wish you all well and hope to meet as many new friends on this trip as possible so that a reunion in the future is a MUST!!

I have seen Eve before so I know I am missing out on a rockin good time. I was really looking forwards to the appt but just can't do it. Even though it was 72 hrs notice, I still apologized in the email for which she was quite gracious.

I think Eve is just a bit frustrated. Who knows, maybe business is down due to the economy. I will say one thing, I wish I could get there to let her work out some frustrations on me.

I asked her to do a newsletter for tours so those of us up north know about her plans sooner.

I think Chris is correct.  A day or three's notice to cancel an appointment in any walk of life I think is acceptable.  If I schedule something on Monday morning for Friday night and on Wednesday afternoon I find out I have business out of town, or I wake up on Thursday morning sick, what?  Perhaps I should show up with that upset stomach and throw up all over her place, just to keep the appointment.  This just in:  if she cancels her tour, decides not to visit our area, I'm in the same boat, right?  I'm in a condition now where my health changes sometimes on an hour to hour basis.  In the last few weeks as I have gotten stronger I made two attempts to schedule something in my return to action but medical stuff (days before the appointment, I might add) got in the way both times and I had to cancel.  The lesson was (for me) that I need to take more time, but that's me and this isn't about me.  And if that's a problem, well, sorry.  No call no show (either on the part of the guy or the girl - it happens both ways) is not excused and I am not addressing that.  And, like Walter Cronkite used to say - "That's the way it is".

You really do sound and look like a "class act".  I'll look for you in the DC/MD/NOVA area when you're there.

I too am sorry we couldn't meet up again and you know I was very grateful for the heads up....

You and I will make sure to meet in the future...

Indeed it does. I had an 10:00PM appointment in a Center City hotel with a 'Flawless' provider that I had seen several times before. Called when I left home in Jersey to confirm, (70 minute drive one way), called from the parking garage, called from the lobby for room number, was told agency would call right back. 20 minutes, and no room number call. Called agency and was told the provider was 'unavailable', and that they had been trying to call to advise me of this. Bullshit. Brian is okay, but some of the other schedulers need retraining.

Common courtesy works both ways.  Many a hobbiest has been stood up in a cold-hard (pun intended) parking lot on more then one occasion.
