3 hours on a Friday afternoon when I could have been somewhere having some fun. Setting the scene : Mid day call to provider; phone answered, appointment set and I say "look, I traveling from east valley to west valley ,I really want to make sure were good with this appmt. She responds ,no prob. ,call me when you are close. I call at 10 til 2. I'm 5 min.away ,she says call when I get closer(lol) .I call at 5 til 2, I am really close now, oops ,no answer,voice mail full. At 10 after 2 she answers her phone saying she needs another 5 minutes as she is on a phone call, at 20 after 2 , she needs only another 2 minutes to finish her call, at 2:45 she is still a voice mail full,not answering the phone type of gal. Can you say' loser',me, not her. One hour to get to her ,45 minutes of hanging around like an effin idiot, another hour to get back from whence I came. It is laughable , I would not wait 45 minutes for anybody in a business situation . I have come to believe this is the nature of a business which is not filled with integrity(cheating on spouses, breaking multiple az.legal statutes). I gotta tell you, the frustration had turned to some real anger yesterday. Really made me want to say really nasty things. Well, thanks for the opportunity to rant , it is a familiar refrain and one that I am sure will be repeated, however , not by me as I am sure it is tiring to hear this 'bs' from me .

...rate provider, I'm not surprised by this kind of unprofessional behavior and say, "Shame on me." When  it's a well-established, well-reviewed, and appropriately priced provider, I say, "Shame on her." I NEVER go back in either situation unless a highly plausible explanation is offered along with appropriate apologies and even the offer of more time, same money.
There are women in this business who thrive on turmoil in their invariably tumultuous lives. Their brains thrive on cortisol, action, even anger, and irrational behavior. There are guys who are perfect clients for them because they too thrive on cortisol. Those of us blessed with less chaotic childhoods crave the more comforting brain chemical serotonin and crave order, tranquility, and peace. I seek the later types. If you've ever seen some of our superstars (Mya, Vanessa Evans, AZSexyJenn, TwinCherry, or a few others), you meet women who could succeed in any endeavor. Time with them is a feast in a play ground where serotonin is readily available.
In general (not always), I avoid the women with erratic Performance review numbers (9's and 10's interspersed with 5-7's). Cortisol clients can overlook shortcomings that annoy some of us and award the 9's and 10's. The serotonin guys like us furnish the 5-7 ratings.

We get hammered about gents who double book,last minute cancellations, no show but our time seems to be of no value to some. I either stay at home  at home or see the highly reliable. I don't want to waste my time on the flakes. The general rant is fine but it is preaching to the choir. A specific name would be better. Save other gents the hassle. We have lots of great indies and agency gals who get it right. It is a diservice to them and to the gents to let this crap continue. Is it time we gents speak up about the bad as well as the good?

Valid points. Agreed.

anytime you'd like to meet for a quick bite is fabulous with me! I had a great time hanging out with you!

gentlemen and i use that term in respect. I never like to 'show anybody up' , as in this world we truly have 'only our good name'. While this young lady(oops,definitely not a lady) has lost any opportunity to enjoy me and my money, it seems poor form to lower myself to her 'class' or lack thereof. I think this public forum works for starting the dialogue and discourse on what issues we have as hobbiests. If only these rants would change behavior. I am the moron, waiting 45 minutes ,thinking the behavior of a provider is going to change. M&J, your erudtion may be lost on this particular lady.Modprod, I will pm you. And I will take any other suggestions on dealing with this . I do have this huge hurdle with respect to outing unreliable providers. I am not a rookie and out of 80 plus encounters , this is the 3rd provider who has wasted my time, is that a low enough percentage to not care about? This person is well reviewed and spoken highly of and what is so effin stupid is that all I ask is let me know the truth of the situation , this disappearing act is not the action of an adult. What does it take to make the call and say oops , I am sorry. The small head needs some readjustment so that I will not wait around like some puppet on a string. Sorry for the added rant, i am still quite chapped.

jazz, I would eat you,oops, eat with you any time. lol. J

A few days I saw a lady. It was set for 10am for a one hour appt. While driving there she tells me can I be there 5 minutes later I say 'No problem'. Than about 40 minutes in the session she tells me "I forgot to mention that my husband will be coming soon so you have to leave"..I said "Well I paid you the hour so it would be fair to reimburse me at least some of my money". She looked at me like I was crazy..

So while she was in the bathroom I looked at my donation on the table and thought reallllly hard about taking some of it back..Than I did not know whether her husband could have looked like Hulk Hogan so I left the money there.

What I  have learned is next time is when a lady (or I) is going to be late always ask "Now will I still get the full hour?" If not, than I will ask for a  half hour session or just reschedule..

you have 60+ reviews and if you are posting what you are saying as true, you should include a name.  The BBB is around to give consumers an opportunity to provide that caveat emptor before making an informed decision. Keep in mind, this really is a hobbyist info board, provider participation encouraged. A providers behavior can't go unchecked because it won't change unless you as the consumer speaks up to forewarn others.

Your post is plain boring without a name and silly at best. You really sound like a chick just complaining. You sure you aren't a bitch?

anyone that rude should be outed.....
