ill grant you im working from craigs and bp so i expect a lot of bs like double booking or last minute emergencies anyhow. however it seems that i get stood up more often from the ones using 2 call then those that dont.
i dont double myself instead ill make sure to have a backup ready like knowing where the nearest amp is just in case.

ive never been stood up by an amp and thats a fact.

Dave, I guess you're hobbying locally now instead of just in Canada.  You'd written some time ago on your own site that such was (then) your practice, I believe out of personal preference for what you'd said was a less legally risky environment up there.

Anyway, I suggest that you just copy everything that is already on the provider's profile when you're presented with those same questions again enroute to writing your narrative.  Perhaps it's changed under the new admin, but my experience (repeatedly) was that if you entered some different parameter than what was already on the profile, it did NOT ever change the profile.  I wrote to staff about that, and they responded that you must send them a problem report relative to the profile with the corrected/updated info and they will then act on it.  I did so in several cases, and they in fact did make changes in most (not all).  I also wrote suggesting that if there are no changes from what's already up, it's burdensome to put reviewers through the process of just working one's way through that template for no good reason.  (Maybe they think it filters out some flippant reviewers.)  I also suggested adding a couple of narrow columns to the New Reviews heading to show the two numerical ratings of each review; that would help separate the proverbial wheat from the chaff.  They responded that the suggestions would be considered in future site changes.  This was probably six months ago; haven't seen any format changes yet.

So meanwhile, don't worry about mimicing what's already there.  You're not going to corrupt or pollute the existing profile data; it won't change one way or the other based on what you enter!  You should therefore be able to do that with impunity, just to work your way through the template, and then you can write what you wish in the "general" and "juicy" details sections.

Nice to see your comments and commentary over here now!

Re: NCNS reviews are not allowed. The only thing a hobbyist can do is to

post a warning on the local regional board.  There are so many reasons for a NCNS and so many times that a reasonable explanation is given long after a review would have been submitted, that it is just not manageable to allow NCNS reviews.  If you read through the boards and look at some of the posts regarding NCNS, you will see when sometimes it was even the hobbyist's misunderstanding.

So, the only real way to help each other out is to post the info on the regional board (which you've done, so thank you) and respond to any subsequent TER ad by the provider with your experience.

One thing that I always suggest is to include a search of the regional board when researching a provider.  That way you can catch all of the info available.

Good luck.

I think the reason most of the no shows for both the girls and the guys is that they are pornflakes.

It happens the trick is to stay on your side of town that way it is not a big deal.  And of course let people know who the pornflakes are.

I realize the problem of going out locally since I am so well known, which can make the gal nervous at first.  That is why sometimes I find those that I don't think know me so will be less of an issue.

In this case there has been at least one public post and I have had emails from two others that were also stood up by this gal the same way as me.

But when she didn't show up one of my first thoughts was I wonder if she knows who I am and that made her nervous. But others have confirmed its a pattern of hers.

Don't know how to solve my being so well known issue ... and not just go to Canada  Actually I'm known there also since so active on the boards but would rather find local gals it is just harder for my interests and not being willing to pay the typical high costs in Phx.

I actually did have some very good experiences the same night as the no show but am sure the reviews would not be juicy enough for TER since my interests are different than most so reported on some good experiences you know where.....
