Would like thoughts (both Provider and Hobbyists),

It is very controversial, but that's what the rule is.

You can, however, post a notice on your local board about this, but I would wait 2-3 days just in case.

I had a favorite pull a no-show on me, and 3 days later she called to say that she was in a car accident while on her way to see me and got laid* up in bed.  Her phone got destroyed and she just now got a new one to get in touch with me.  She didn't have a computer she could even use.

So, while almost all of us have felt your frustration, give it some time.  There could be a good reason for her no show.

*not the good kind, either

If you did not see the lady as far as I know the rules here is that a review cannot be posted.
From what I gather this just happened maybe give her a day or two and see if she gets back to you maybe something did happen.I can certainly understand being frustrated with a no-show unfortunately these things happen sometimes on both sides of the coin.It only takes a few minutes to send a short email,text,or call to let the person know something came up but maybe she was not able to call you for whatever reason.

and I truly hope you misspoke.  You want to write a review on a no-show to warn other hobbyists, but you don't think it's right to give lower than an 8 no matter how you're treated or how unrepresentative her photos are?  Personally I'm far more interested in knowing about bad service or excessive use of photoshop than the occasional no-show, where my only costs are time and gas.

You state that she confirmed that she was on her way two hours before the appointment; my first inclination would be that some emergency or unfortunate incident took place (has it even been 24 hours?). Send her a "I hope you're OK" email and give it another day or two. Don't go off half-cocked.

almost as worthless as those of our little turdster et al who don't seem to mind having their time wasted.

IMO NCNS is extremely disrespectful in both this business and every other part of our lives. I can't imagine simply blowing off a client without giving him/her the benefit of a call or text which would take all of about ten seconds of my busy life.

As for writing a review, TER policies require that there actually "be a session" before you can write a review about one, and after reading your post I find myself actually agreeing with them on this policy. You are supposed to be writing a review about your "session" not about her website.

and do you really hand out 8's, just for showing up? This proves just how fucked up the review system is, and why the numerical scores are a complete waste of time.

his third paragraph.  TER review policy requires a session to begin.  If a guy experiences a ROB or a C & D, the session began but really didn't take place.  Just my $.02.

And I'm sure she knows the dangers and doesn't care!

So you DID PM her? Is she staying strong? Is she a pretty laydee?

I'd probably call brainy smurf and get him to unleash some lightening on her using his "weather smurfing machine". Lol

So he's the one with the last minute cancellation issues. That being said I'm sure he's nice enough to let the pretty laydee know he's canceling after she's blocked that time off for him.

Of course now he's only booking those one hour sessions but I'm sure that knocks down his chances for that OTC time he brags about.

And are you 100% certain?

...wouldn't it only be a short jump to writing a review on a woman whose ad looked good, who you wanted to book, but then decided not to? There are women who by the strength of their ads/reviews I'd give a 10/10, but if I had a session, they might not be that good.

Sometime S*** happens.  I have had to cancel last minute though reschedued in a day or 2 & always a great time.    
In one case, there was a weather incident...  which stopped traffic on the interstate.  I tried driving (d*mn horny) but it was impossible.  30 miles away, where she was, the sun was shining!

Most of you missed the point here. Sure accidents happen but it's the aftermath that really counts. It doesn't take more than 2 minutes to text her client to excuse herself:

Yes, first of all, I have never written anything about a no-show, so I am doing what you said here and my inclination is that something happened.  Her blog, her twitter, everything have gone silent...so multiple "Are you okay" emails have been sent.

Hey we can agree to disagree., but let me say this.  I would say over 2 decades I probably had two situations that were just horrible despite the girls being decent human beings.  In those cases I NEVER wrote a review.  I also don't write if they say they don't like reviews.  That is understood from the beginning.

Yep, that is my thought.  Calmed down and am even more curious than ever.  I'll give her two strikes.  I just won't get taken the third time.  She seems real cool.  She seemed to have been battling some illness but as CG says, it wouldn't hurt to send a quick email......unless something horrible happened.  I will wait to see if she re-surfaces and says anything.  I am pretty sure she will be extremely apologetic from what I can tell.

but I agree HV certainly didn't appear to be one who did.

There are many reasons to have to cancel, but very legitimate reasons to NCNS. I have cancelled dozens of appointments, but I have NEVER NCNS. NCNS is simply a lack of respect for the other party 99.9% of the time.

and even IF the party is unable to make a call, send a text or an email or otherwise communicate that there is a problem. The VERY FIRST thing he or she should do upon having the ability to communicate is reach out the person he/she cancelled on, not place another ad, not chit chat with her friends, the FIRST thing she should do is contact her client. That's what a responsible and considerate person does.

So if anything bad happened where she was stuck around other people she might not be able to get in touch.  It's a little different than ncns for other things.  It sucks, but definitely give her a couple/few days to reconnect.

Sick grandmother in hospital is hardly a valid reason for NCNS, it is a perfectly valid reason for canceling but NOT even close to a valid reason to NCNS.

The only valid reasons for NCNS are phone lost/stolen/died. or incapacitation IOW car wreck, arrested etc. If you are capable of getting the call that your grandmother is in the hospital, you are capable of making your next call to the client/s that pay your bills. PERIOD!!!

My anger would turn to concern as well.

If she were conducting business as usual, or business at all for that matter, I would certainly be pissed if I were you, but if no one has heard from her, her reason/s could be legit.


As I said, there are very FEW reasons for a NCNS, but that doesn't mean that there are no good reasons.

and both my grandmothers passed away a while back.  I think I've only even been late once, by just a very few minutes going somewhere I'd never been.  So we're not talking about me.  

Yikes I guess anyone can get on GLS these days.  

"Foulable?" Really?

It is extremely unfortunate that this site does not honor "FLAKE REVIEWS" like a certain defunct site. If a provider has a history of "flaking" in her reviews that would be a very USEFUL red flag for hobbyists to consider before calling

I'd say the gals on GLS fall into the "some of us, yes [are rigidly career-focused, ie: would never do that]" group that I did mention.
