WOW,
Phoenix Gents.  I can't believe that this trip has gone like this. I have traveled to many cities and not had a problem. Here I  have had no shows, last min cancellations, and people trying to get me to negotiate my rates.  Is this how Phoenix treats all visiting providers?  Just need to know.  I heard that Phoenix was full of Classy Gents that is why I came here.  OK Where are you Gents?

You just haven't met any of us classy gents yet, but maybe you will soon

Well Dear, if you took the time to e-mail the people who vouched for you and thanked them you would not be bitching about it now, I Would have been glad to have seen you but your lack of interest didnt help you any, if your going to use this board to drum up business you should read it and respond to people, Classy gents like classy gals. Next time try to market a lil better

If you don't like a provider (for whatever reason) then you
don't make an appointment.  You don't book and then cancel.

I tend to see the same experience too, about 30% of people that schedule with me here in Phoenix no show on me even after they confirmed with me that very day. This is very rude and unacceptable. And people wonder why rates have to be what they are. I go through a lot of expense and time getting ready for clients and then they no show. If the provider board goes through I will post my no shows there. I keep a list of these guys simply because I don't like getting burned twice. If a guy cancels thats one thing and I have no problem with that even if its last minute, I can accept that, things happen. But to schedule, confirm that day, then no show without any call thats another story. The guys here would rather form a lynch mob if you miss one appointment with them, they should be in our shoes.
All I ask is guys be more conciderate, this is not the first provider I have heard this from, from here in Phoenix, you guys don't want to give yourselves a bad reputation here, especially if you want beautiful women to tour here.

XOXO

This is just another example of how a lack of common courtesy among both the providers and the hobbiests has led to general misconceptions about Phoenix and the hobby scene here in Phoenix.

It appears that more and more hobbiests don't really plan an appointment with a provider, they just assume they can call and get one on the spot or next day. We are all human, things come up unexpectantly, a simple phone call, which in my book is just a common courtesy, with a sincere simple explanation ( hey here is an idea, try telling the truth) is all it takes. All the providers are more than willing to accomandate a polite client if he isn't an asshole about it.

But I also have encountered providers that are less then respectful of our time and dilemma, whether they cancel or we have to, it works both ways girls.

I have been out of the hobby for awhile and have just recently ventured back in and can say that in the last week 3 out of 5 providers that I have had appointments with have called and been late, but they all had the courtesy to call and explain the situation and we worked it all out. I still kept the appointments with these 3 providers on the same day scheduled, just a little later, and had a wonderful time with each of them.

So guys relax a little, it's supposed to be a hobby!!!!  And ladies, remember the competition here is only getting larger and larger. So the excellent providers who are professional will continue to book with the gentlemen, and all the rest will obviously hook up however they manage.

Just my humble opinion...

what the hell does my post have to do with no shows? Issues? I have no issues with her at all. I do think I helped her out by passing good info about her based on a good friend in Seattle recommendations. Just isnt right that any Provider especialy one who was treated good from a couple of regulars from this board come on here and post about how bad the Phoenix hobbiest treated her. I dont use aliases and have TER e-mail. A thank you would have been more in order than a slam on our community. Maybe she shold post all those who no-showed her, blah blah blah

Danny you are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there Gents
Please do not misinterpret my post.  The Gents I did meet were classy and as wonderful as you can get.  They treated me well.  To those that helped me, you are a real Doll.  I am strictly speaking to those (and you know who you are) that were less than respectful. No showing and canceling last min.  I understand that sometimes things come up, but to cancel an hour before is a little inconsiderate.  If I did not e-mail someone I am sorry.  I did try to e-mail everyone that e-mailed me.  I even went over all of my e-mails numerous times to make sure I did not miss anyone.  If you check my reviews in my home base you will see that my reviews are outstanding in the way I treat Gents.  Again, it was not my intention to offend those that were good to me, just give a verbal British spanking to those that deserve it.

Thank you Carla,
I was told by one provider that she has to charge a deposit for her appointments to get around this.  I have never done that.  I know it does create quite a stir to ask for deposits.  Maybe this is why some providers do it.
I have to agree.  If I had no showed someone, My name would have been mud all over the boards,  What makes it OK for the Gents?
I think we should be able to let you know that there are people on the boards that are treating providers like this so that is DOES NOT tarnish the rep of all of you classy Gents out there.
I would think you would want to know.  
I guess I was wrong.
Enough said.  It is much of muchness now.
Thanks again to the classy Gents I did have the pleasure of meeting.
