So I'm not a super hobbier or anything but my experience with providers is that a good many of them (even well reviewed) are just generally unreliable. They either don't get back to you within reasonable time frames, they forget about appts with you, or they flat out cancel at the last minute.  I would never run my business this way I would lose clients.

Is what I'm saying generally true or just my own bad experience?

We just only see it from the side that effects us.

Men are late, men cancel last minute, men ncns..

It just happens. It's not cool, but if we all stressed over that we would be grey.

and the rules of business are different for different types of businesses.

...I have heard stories about what you have experienced but I fortunately have not experienced any of it myself. I have had a few ladies have to cancel but it was done with plenty of notice and in nearly every case we rescheduled. I've never had a ncns and never dealt with the other things you brought up.

Yes, I've been lucky and it probably will happen sometime.

So, my way of dealing with it is this:

When I find a good provider and she is reliable, I stick with her and make her a keeper.

That way I have a lot less of that anguish that comes from being all dressed up and nowhere to go.

I'm not sure what time you usually go to your providers ?but if it's at night when she's about to stop working she may forget. human
So be thoughtful and possibly ask if you could bring her something to make yourself more rememberable. The providers I know are extremely reliable maybe it's your picker.sorry my friend ) don't give up )))

I have never had this problem. Now back in the very early days of me doing this I had a few incidents but I am much wiser and selective now.

I limit the number of ladies that I see in order to keep down the drama.  I'm not in this to put notches on gun, although many are in this to do precisely that - no judgement implied.

A good provider that you have seen a lot of times can be a good friend and source of calm and relaxed joy.  It takes me a few visits at least to get past the anxiousness of establishing a level of connection and I'm too old to be in it for the adrenalin rush of a new one just for the sake of a new one.  A new one because of differing menus or look or ???, sure, but basically I want maximum enjoyment for minimum drama.

I'm still new to this, but I'm just amazed at the lack of professionalism I've encountered.

First time out was a session with two providers at a Nevada brothel. This was arranged a couple of months in advance. I got to the brothel only to find that one of the providers just didn't show up that day.

Second time around was with an agency provider. Was on time and all, but wasn't as billed.

Third time around was with a very highly ranked and reviewed TER top 100 provider in another state. One hour before our scheduled time, her assistant called to reschedule me for an hour later. Then she was 45 minutes late on top of that.

Things were great, though, so I booked a second three-hour, and then a third three-hour, then a fourth, and she was ready as scheduled each time. Next time around she texted me to say "see you at noon!" Nineteen minutes later she texted to say she had her period and her brother was dying. I drove home without getting to see her. Long story as to why, but I saw her one last time and she rescheduled me for two hours later, so I got back home about 11pm. A real 10/10 IMO, but really unprofessional, or just decided I was a doormat.

Next two providers were on time, but sessions didn't click.

Last provider I already wrote a thread about. Highly rated and in TER's top 100, but was late, just out of the shower, not in the wardrobe promised, and had small dog who was with us the whole time, even in bed.  

Out of seven providers so  far, three were consistently on time, but weren't ones I'd be inclined to see again.  

I have another date coming up with a very well-reviewed provider who has a first-class website, communicates very clearly and promptly, and seems very professional. If she's as professional when we meet as she's been by email, and is as good as her reviews, I'll continue to see her as long as she wants

I'd say it's just your Bad Experience. The Provider I'm seeing is pretty Reliable. I can call her and see her in about two hours. I've never had her Cancel an appointment on me.

If I don't put it in my calendar right then and there, I end up staying up super later going through e-mails trying to figure out who is when. There's a lot of things to keep track of in our heads...gotta e-mail this provider for verification, waiting to hear back from another gal about client, gotta reply to this gent about incall, need to answer this guy's questions, need to book accommodations, why isn't the hot one emailing me back. There's a lot!  

When I first started and e-mailed my very first provider for client verification, her assistant replied to my e-mail. I was like, WHAT? ASSISTANT? LOLOLOLO Why does an escort need an assistant? Well, now I know. Holy cow.

When booking via e-mail use this time/date format:

Friday 4/18/2014 at 5pm

If she's checking her e-mail on her phone, it shows up as a link to create a calendar event. If she's got gmail, a little thing shows up on the side to create a calendar event.  

Also, calling or emailing to confirm the morning of your date helps too.

Hope this helps!

Had my share of frustrating experiences, but even those who frustrated came through by the end of the day.  And I am an evening person...

It seems that many of the seasoned hobbiers have experienced what I have and that reliability can be an issue in this biz. It's really NOT that big of  a deal, I was just trying to figure out if I have really bad luck or what. That said maybe I should somehow have a blue ball backup plan for my encounters, and also try to find a small number of reliable girls to see rather than a wider variety.

My experience exactly the opposite in dealing with reputed providers and agencies. Most often I get responses within few hours.

I send a brief email with adequate information about myself so they can make an informed decision. Generally don’t try hide or camouflage information or play email games

When I dealt with the agency, communication was prompt. When I dealt with providers' assistants, communication was good. With the two TER top 100 providers I mentioned, things went south when I dealt with them directly. I think a contributing factor in both of these cases was that they're in their mid-20's.  

When it came to initial contact, I filled out the forms on their sites, waited for replies, then gave them whatever information they asked for. I didn't write the Great American Novel.

Only email. I don’t why providers have those stupid forms, many things can go wrong with it depending on how the service provider has configured it. Main problem being with how man emails the server can handle for how many providers.  

No service provider is going to host a only one website and email on a server. It would cost a lot. Most hosting service providers in this case are very low priced so it is guaranteed they are hosting as many websites and email servers they can on the server.

If I don't hear back from a provider or her assistant after filling out a form, I'll send an email explaining that I've had trouble with forms, so I'm submitting the same information via email.

That doesn't explain the provider's lateness, rescheduling, little dogs, etc, though.

LOL at the dog in bed. You should have told her that if she insisted on having the dog around while you had sex, that the least she could do was let you watch the dog lick her pussy!

At any rate I once had 2 providers cancel on me last minute in the span of just a few days.
