TER General Board

There used to be a regular poster here whose handle was "HalfHour."

I thought Halfie was pretty funny but other posters used to insist he was really a female.
So many interesting people used to make this board a lot of fun. But most of them are gone, so now we have a virtual wasteland.

Stop using this term already! He booked 30 min session and now he is accusing her of being a clock watcher! See goldrune09's review of Katha Richmond (ID 405706) .

I think one can not be a clock watcher in a qv session, and one cna be a clock watcher in a two hour session.

Ie, it's more of an attitude thing.

I think what you are saying is that one MUST be a clock watcher is a qv session, but you said it backwards.  I agree fully that clockwatching can occur in any length session.  It's rarely happened to me, but I can say with certainty that when it occasionally has, it was clearly due to a lack of chemistry between the lady and me.   The clock watching is obvious, as she can't wait for this train wreck to be over.  

 
This is one of the reasons I don't do more than an hour with a provider I'm seeing for the first time, because when things get awkward because you're not connecting, two hours can seem like four, so the only viable option is to bail after the first hour (or even half hour), and leave half or more of the session fee on the table, but even worse, it usually won't happen without a little drama.

"I think what you are saying"

No, that is not what I'm saying at all. Being a clockwatcher is a mentality, not tied to the actual elapsed or remaining time is what I'm saying.

A non clock watcher will make a qv session not feel like you're racing against the clock. And conversely, a clock watcher will always be watching the clock even if it's a multi hour appointment.

was less than one hour, so I will take your word for it.  I stand corrected.

On one side, if a client is booking these El Cheapo sessions, I don’t entirely blame a provider for watching the clock.

 
On the other side, if these El Cheapo sessions bother a provider that much, I don’t know why she’s even offering them.

 
I can’t entirely disagree with it being a mentality thing though. If the argument is you wouldn’t feel this way if your client wasn’t so cheap, take control and don’t offer shorty sessions.

 
But going back to the criticism of the review, it is a little on the client too. Those who offer 1/2 hour sessions are probably more likely clock watchers. In fact, they probably even watch the clock when you book an hour or two. If you book a provider for a shorty session, don’t be shocked that she’s a clock watcher.

You pay for time, and when the time's end nears, one should not be surprised nor offended if she says:  "Here's your hat, what's your hurry?"   This should not even be brought up in the review.

 
What a reader of a review needs to know is if she is NOT a clock-watcher.    This is the common but all-so-YMMV perk of when a gal for whatever reason let's you stay well beyond the limits of the clock.

 
Then there's the sadly too often practice of chasing you out a few or more minutes before the time you paid for is up, often abetted by a clock that's ten or more minutes fast; but that's a topic for another thread.

It’s certainly fair for a lady to let you know when your times up. I know some may interpret this as a clock watcher. Not me though. I’m more referring to the lady who’s looking at her clock, watch, phone, or wherever she can get the time, numerous times throughout the session. If it’s that noticeable during the session, it’s a major turnoff and that’s what makes her a clock watcher.
