Anyone ever been stood up by a provider or does this behavior only happen in the real world? Last nights date didn't show up after confirming three hours earlier. I got a text at midnight saying sorry I feel asleep with a smile face. We were suppose to meet at 7pm at Cheesecake Factory.  This is why I hate dating civilians.

I won't sit at the call point for more than 5 minutes.  It's not discrete & attracts attention of LE & House Dicks.  Yes, early in my hobbying, I recieved the eyeball from a Black & White.  Hotel management had requested extra patrols.  
I prefer to arrive a bit early to allow for traffic or weather delays (got burned by weather once)...  but having confirmed the location, I withdraw to the corner coffee shop where people are expected to hangout...  while carefully timing my return.  

Yes, I've been stood up, after confirming the evening before...  and did not answer my calls.  A simple, "plans changed, no can do" would have allowed me to save the opportunity.  She's on my personal DNS list now.  I will not risk an opportunity on her.  That's the difference between the hobby & civie...  scoring should be guarenteed.

Scoring is not guaranteed in the hobby. I've been turned down more times than most. I got three rejections last week from people coming into NY next week. I'm just moving on. Rejection is part of life but also part of this world.  I can only comment on what I see.

If so, maybe she just couldn't get that excited about a date to the Cheesecake Factory.  

There's nothing wrong w/said place. However, it wouldn't exactly feel like a "date" to me. Kind of just, 'Hey, let's hang out and maybe hit the mall afterward" type thing. It would feel like you'd put no thought or effort into what might turn into a "first date" for us.  

You're from a major metropolitan area where there are tons of great options... if you do some research, you could probably even spend a bit (or a lot) less than you would at The Cheesecake Factory. Especially if the place is BYOB. It's not about the money spent, it's about the thought (and taste/culture/sophistication/whatever) inherent in creating a really special night

Whether it is in civilian life, professional, or hobby play, being late and/or NCNS, is just incomprehensible to me. Maybe that is just the German heritage I grew up with. If you say you are going to do something, you do it....at the time you say you are going to do it. Yes, there are the extremely rare moments when weather, traffic, etc get the best of you (I was immediately behind a semi truck full of toxic substances that rolled over in an ice storm here, that kept me on I55 for 5 hours), but that is where good communication comes in. This is just a basic lack of respect, IMHO. I hope you don't bother with her again, and have better luck next time!

I consider myself a professional, and so long as a guy is verifiable and "seems nice", he's in.  

Even if he seems like he "might" be a tiny bit iffy/annoying/odd/demanding/whatever (but no red flags), I'll give him a chance, and see what develops as we communicate pre-date...I will not reject him outright w/o a damn good reason for refusing his money.

I've even accepted dates I've known going in were definitely not going to be fun, but were within my abilities to handle as a professional.

I do refuse dates from verifiable, non-blacklisted guys, but not very often. To give you an example, the last one I refused requested a time that conflicted w/a class I was taking, and also seemed to expect a free overnight. He was a TER reviewer, so I basically had two options: 1) Accept the money/date, and realize that I was basically trapped into OTC and overnight (plus free morning sex) if I did not wish to get a 7-7, or 2) Refuse the date, go to my class, and avoid what might be an ordeal with unknown demands made upon me ASIDE from the free overnight. So basically... if you get refused (by me, anyway), you have to be THAT bad. Or come across that way.

She called me from the ER with a broken bone and she asked me to pick her up and take her home!

So I give a girl some time but upon regained communication, the party should reach out to the other and offer an apology and a way to try and make it up to the other in the form of a discounted session, free hour, otc meal, gift, whatev.

Those that don't i don't have respect for at all.

but he did go on to mention in a later post in this same thread that he often gets "rejected" even in this world. My question to him and the rest of the peanut gallery is "just how big a loser do you have to be to get consistently rejected by hookers?"

I can understand the black guys here getting rejected by hookers with an NBA policy, or the occasional guy getting the door shut in his face by age requirements, or maybe newbies who can't pass screening, but for someone with over a dozen reviews to his credit, to be constantly having hookers refusing to take your money, you have to be doing something seriously fucking wrong. He stated that three different women turned him down just last week, I can't think of three hookers in my entire 40+ years of doing this that have turned me down. The only one I can think of was a Thai hottie who felt funny about seeing me as a client because I dated one of her GF's and knew all her friends.

Now getting stood up is quite a different story, I've had a lot of NCNS happen to me, and yes civvie chicks flake out just like some hookers.

The girl who stood me up last night was a girl not in the hobby. I was talking to her thru match.com.  

I usually do 1 hobby date for every 10 rejections I get on OK Cupid Match and any other dating site.  

It brought up the question do girls in this lifestyle pull this crap on hobbyist?

The other thought I was having was getting rejected by girls in the hobby happens often. The three girls this week two said because I was under 38 and one said because she didn't think personalities matched. I can handle that what I have a problem handling is making a date in real life with someone and than them not showing up. Texting 3 hours later I overslept.

More often than not, a civie will decline a date with some nonsense about being too busy with school work to see you.

Keep in mind there is a big difference between a "free one hour session" highly unlikely, and a "free hour" added on to a multi hour date.  I can see a woman adding a free hour to a four hour paid date to make up for flaking out on a previous date. I can't see a woman offering a completely free session to make up for a no show though.  

Jack is on record here dozens of times stating he doesn't do "one hour dates" so in that context I think a free hour is certainly reasonable.

It seems people are getting more disconnected from the real world and the consideration that goes along w it. When your normal method of communicating is txt or social media and it's common for a simple conversation to drag on a day, going hrs between responses it becomes perfectly acceptable to communicate w someone whenever it's easy, not necessarily when you should.  

The real problem is the people on the receving end are putting up w it and encouraging the behavior. In p4p and civvy land I see it happening all the time and a day or 2 later the guy is waiting on the girl again, kissing her ass because he wants to get laid and doesn't want to say anything and risk screwing it up.  

Especially in p4p there is no reason to put up w it. You are paying good money, if she can't show at least basic respect f her. I don't care how good you think she is, there is always someone else!  
I'm about to give up on doubles, I'm beyond fed up w chasing girls around to try and schedule and sitting around for hrs w a frustrated client only to hear from the girl hrs or days later. It baffles me that highly rated girls who are asking a premium can get away w this! You guys need to put your foot down.

The less of their disposable income spent at restaurants (where I'll end up ordering something like a salad anyway) means more available to go into my bank account.  It may not go there, but I'd rather Cheesecake Factory than a place that adds hundreds to the donation amount, thus potentially increasing expectation (even subconsciously) without fattening my wallet any further.

I’m not a fan. I think this was supposed to be a civvie date, though.  

I think Zak's from the general NYC area.. with a bit of effort, he can probably save some $$ while scoring a much better meal.  

I’m OK w/chains, and am partial to one in my area that has a great salmon salad. However, that’s where I go when I just want to make a quick stop. Personally, if a civvie date I’d never even met asked me on a first date to OG or CF, I’d think one of two things: 1) His tastes hadn’t evolved since high school, or 2) He just didn’t care enough to pick out a nice place - i.e., he wasn’t into me. Or worse, I’d think that maybe both applied.  

If I knew the guy ahead of time, I might give him some leeway…assuming that he had other redeeming qualities that led me to accept the date. One of my bf’s was not at all into haute cuisine. To him, any place with metal silverware and not plastic would’ve been date-appropriate. (Luckily, I picked out places for us…lol).  

I’m not always about the linens and crystal. I can appreciate a good dive bar. A boyfriend who was into sports used to take me to Blondie’s on the UWS all the time. I saw Mark Buehrle pitch a perfect game there.

but I have NEVER had a woman in this business refuse a session with me because "our personalities don't match" Not even once.  

Now I suppose there are some women who might have decided just not to respond to me once they found out that asshole GaGambler was looking for a date with them, but none of them have ever actually said so.  Personally, once I send a PM or email to a lady, if I don't hear back from her in a few hours I kind of forget ever having reached out to her, if I get a reply days later, I treat it as a pleasant surprise.

I've never done a "dating site" nor do I ever expect to. I doubt there are too many hot twenty five year olds looking for guys pushing sixty unless they are gold diggers and I would much rather pay a sugar baby or a hooker for sex than get strung along by a gold digger who thinks I should shower her with thousands of dollars worth of gifts before ever allowing me in her pants.

It's not like any leftover money is actually going into my pockets, lol. I'm getting my dinner date fee, no matter where we go.  

One client took me to a chain, the first time we met. It was fine, but the martinis were saturated w/sugar and food coloring, and the plate of fish I had (I tried to get the healthiest thing on the menu) reeked of grease and MSG. Of course we had to get dessert...those calories just go down so much better when it's truly a special concoction and not just, like, triple-fried oreos topped w/ice cream.

I'm not picky about THAT many things, but food is definitely one of them, as you can tell.  

W/that said, I'm nice about it if a client takes me to a place that's not to my liking. His time, his dime

I love good food, but not all (or even most) dates are about the food. Sometimes a casual setting it preferred. It must suck to only feel comfortable in one world.  

That said, I will draw the line at fast food. I am more than happy occasionally eating at an Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory, but Burger King et al will rot your system. I think I might eat a fast food meal at most one a month and then I usually regret it immediately after.

After watching you chase JLS/Corrine/GallopingGourmet all around the board, sucking up to her, and given your disdain for anything but "fine dining" I am beginning to doubt you actually see a lot of younger women. Most young women, actually most young people, don't exactly have refined tastes in dining. I am not going to drag a 22 year old into a fancy restaurant that she not only is not going to appreciate, but where she is going to feel intimidated. I like to pick a place where we can both feel comfortable and if that is The Cheesecake Factory, so be it.

been stood up by providers many times.

most recently a highly rated woman in los angeles took a look at me in the parking garage of her apt. building and said "sorry i can't do this" and sent me away.  don't know if that counts as "stood up" but the date did not go through on her volition.

before that another highly rated woman that i had seen twice before stood me up for a confirmed 2 pm date on a specific holiday.  she said on the phone she got her times mixed up even though i had confirmed with her booker the day before.  imagine my surprise a few weeks later to read a review by a guy who spent all morning with the lady, having a 2 hour date turn into a 4 hour date, on that specific holiday.  so obviously she blew off my hour and half date to make an extra 2 hours with the other guy, which imo was pretty stupid because he was an out of towner visiting and i was (i thought) a regular who saw her more than once.

years ago when i first started hobbying i hooked up with a lady who turned out to be legitimately crazy. first date was great, although she did drop a few red flags during the date (after the sexy fun times, she wouldn't let me hug her good bye, etc). next time i made a date with her i would confirm, show up to her apt. building, then she wouldn't answer her door or phone.  

then there are numerous times i'd confirm with a lady, show up for the 2 call system, and the second call never got answered.  the broken date didn't bother me as much as the wasted $40 viagra pill lol!

i know i'll get flamed for this, but as much as there are guys with huge emotional problems causing the ladies trouble here in the hobby, there are just as many nutty women creating havoc with the guys.  there is craziness on both sides of the bed.  unfortunately, because of the illicit nature of this endeavor, unstable people are attracted to it.  

or else there's just a hell of a lot of unstable people in the world, who knows lol?

the great thing about the hobby is, when it works (and it usually works very well) it's out of this world..

Most guys have a hobby budget and dining with us is part of that.  The less cash that goes towards things such as expensive restaurants, the more money there is to go into the hobby ecosystem. That's money that could go into another visit, a tip for exemplary service, or a visit to a girlfriend I've recommended.
It's that same reason most of us are grateful for nice gifts, but would always (silently) have preferred the cash.

This thread made me think back on the handful of times I have been to a CK and without exception EVERY time was with a hooker, and every time it was the lady's suggestion.  

In all fairness, most of those times were at a CK next to a movie theater that a GF (yes a hooker GF) and I would go to and it was simply the most convenient place to grab a bite and the second most often was with a hooker "buddy" who loved their desserts and we would go there strictly for dessert and not dinner.

I doubt I would ever be the one to suggest an Olive Garden or Cheesecake factory as the place to take a date, but as you said "some people's tastes have not evolved since high school" and that applies as much to women as men. I believe in taking a date somewhere she will feel comfortable and I hate to waste good food and especially good wine on someone who won't appreciate it. I am sure you have been with a person who looks at a pricey wine list and the first thing out of their mouth is "Wow at three hundred bucks a bottle, I bet you it gets you REALLY drunk" followed by "Can I have the filet mignon, well done please"  

See that's the beauty about P4P, I can have sex with the twenty somethings and then have dinner with some other woman who appreciates the finer things in life.

Cheesecake Factory and McDonald's are not exactly in the same league. One has higher prices, decent food, and slow waiters.  ;)

If the restaurant is where they'd go any night of the week, then it's mostly inconsequential. However, many want to take an escort somewhere nicer than where they go everyday.  The hobby is about (hopefully) having fun and partaking in something that transcends the prosaic. If a restaurant makes that happen, cool.  But, from my vantage point, any good  provider knows how to accomplish that within the confines of a bedroom.  

Of course, I say that as a non-foodie who'd rather shove the business end of a snow shovel up her ass than bang on a full stomach.  Lol

Not because of a lack of interest, just because, for most of my life, the closest one was 8 hours away (I think). Then I moved to NYC. Now I live near one, but prefer other venues. Also, I hate cheesecake (not for food snob reasons, just a random dislike) and so the name is a turn-off to me.  

I've dined at Friday's, OG, Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday's, Houlihan's, Carrabba's...you name it. Even 7-11, in a pinch. I'll go to a chain if, like you said, I'm nearby and it just happens to be the most convenient thing...but, none of the aforementioned are places I'd suggest for a date.

My ex BF basically ate food straight out of the can...our normal date was strip-mall sushi. But I also liked to take him someplace special, and watch his eyes pop out of his head as he tasted a nice bottle of wine and a first-rate steak. I kinda thought it was cute if he said 'Wow, for the price of that bottle of wine, I can get 600 cans of SPAM' (exaggerating slightly). I imagine that, for most guys, that experience wouldn't have the same charm if their date was a hooker..

Reading through it made me want to ask an interesting question that I always thought about.

I believe it's more than safe to say that a lot of the times when a provider cancels, it's not for the reason given (if a reason at all was given).  A lot of the times it's probably because a "better" opportunity came along, whether it be more compensation (longer date) and/or a favorite regular.

But I always wondered at what percent?  Over 50% of the time or under 50% of the time?

Also, how many of us hobbyist would rather receive that "real" reason over a made up reason?  I know this would never happen because it's bad for business for a provider to tell the truth in this particular scenario.  But in a weird way I personally really would appreciate the very straight up honesty.  No ego problems here, I know that this is a business and it's not personal and if she can rack in the dough, more than I was suggesting then I can't hate the hustler (get that money, see you next time).

Anyone ever been stood up by a provider or does this behavior only happen in the real world? Last nights date didn't show up after confirming three hours earlier. I got a text at midnight saying sorry I feel asleep with a smile face. We were suppose to meet at 7pm at Cheesecake Factory.  This is why I hate dating civilians.

you're not getting played on Match or OKC. If a chick is hot, she gets hit on more every day than any 10 babes on here, and she'll play it to the maxx. The dogs, pardon the term, always show up and don't look like their 15 yo pics ... the hottt ones pick the best place ... they're date whores for the most part. Very little connection, even less sex. Just looking for "dining out, nice wine, and sailing"  

It always made me wonder how this gorgeous soul can't find 1 nice guy during her day to day life. I've gone back on Match 5 years later, same chick, same pic. Lives on Topsfield. OceanBlue  

But unicorns are out there .... I know.

since we'll never know for sure.  (One exception:  One provider had a car accident on her way over to see me.  A few weeks later when we did meet, the veracity of her excuse was borne out by the bruises on her leg.)

But I would like at least a text saying sorry just so I know she didn't disappear off the face of the Earth.

nice restaurants, is that you really don't need to bang on a full stomach. The portions are smaller (but, they are so tasty you really don't notice).  

Or, you can always have dessert before dinner :)  

For guys who live, work, or travel to or near NYC (or any other foodie paradise), I'm not sure that CF would be considered 'decent' so much as 'adequate'. Also, any chain (like Friday's) in NYC would only be located in the tourist district, and you'd actually pay more $$$$ there than you would at an intimate Zagat-rated Italian place

It can be 100% true or false so the reason becomes irrelevant, therefore no reason at all is the best way to go (IMO).

But my post was just some hypotheticals that I found interesting.

So the first thing I learned was how to eat just about anything as unlike the kids on Master Chef Junior, I was hardly an accomplished cook at that age. Fast forward almost fifty years and I can still eat just about anything, but as my cooking skills have improved, so has my palate and I MUCH prefer good food over the slop served at most chain restaurants.

I've had an on again off again relationship with a gal almost exactly thirty years younger than me for about nine years now. When we first got together her idea of a gourmet meal was that teppanyaki crap served at Japanese steak houses and everything she cooked came out of a box. I never bothered taking her to nice restaurants until she was about 23 or 24 when she actually started appreciating the difference between  a decent meal and just "food", so yeah I get what you are saying.

As for the Cheesecake Factory, I would never go there of my own accord, it's not that it sucks, it's just that I am not much on sweets to begin with and there are just so many restaurants a thousand times better and If I am going to go casual I would just as soon do bar food, unless it's someplace like Buffalo Wild Wings or Applebees where you can actually taste the can the food came out of. Good thing I drink a lot, because usually I won't even eat when in those places, but I am more than happy to have a drink or ten while watching a ball game.

So you ex ate SPAM, he wasn't Korean or Hawaiian by chance, was he? SPAM is still disgusting no matter how you cook it, but at least the Koreans and Hawaiians have figured out how to mask the taste.

I've actually eaten there multiple times. It's in the strip mall right next where I get my car serviced. The BBQ Something Salad is actually OK.  

When I lived in NYC, a pet resided in my kitchen alcove...that made it difficult to cook. During those years, I either ate out, or dined via seamlessweb.com, which will deliver any type of cuisine to your door, anytime day/night. Now I have a pet-less kitchen, but I live alone, so I prefer to go out for meals, just for a change of company/scenery.

I agree that chains don't necessarily "suck", but if you live anyplace decent, there are tons of better options w/better service for a lower price. And, it's nice to support local businesses.  

I was just kidding about the SPAM...actually, my ex was a healthy eater. He just didn't have any $$ and so dined mostly on bags of random organic fare and protein shakes. And leftover pizza, lol.  

I readily admit that being a provider in NYC has spoiled me, food-wise (I AM a princess, although I at least try not to be a brat). And that I REALLY need to learn to cook

That's the bad news.  The good news is I won't be charging for my time.  My policy is if I like you, dinner's on you but it's OTC.  One thing's for sure, you won't be taking me within a mile of an Olive Garden or the CF.  Homey don't play dat. :)
I'm assuming you know what Per Se is.  If not, google is your friend.

6!!! 6 FUCKING times I've been stood-up by Liz - a provider whom I reviewed. At least I pounded that pussy until no tomorrow -several times. Many, many CIM/SWALLOW blowjobs and pounded it ANAL.  

I did everything I could've possibly thought of ( I don't and WILL NEVER KISS NOR DATY with a provider -no pun intended, ladies). On to better girls from here on out :D
