So, I like coming to DC and the guys I have met there are great. However, DC consistently votes the highest on my poll (what city I should visit next) with the LEAST amount of follow through.

I don't get it. Do ya'll get cold feet or are people just preoccupied? Where is the best place to advertise in DC? Clearly people are visiting my site and voting but my bookings never match up to the amount of votes!

It sucks but I may have to take DC off my list in the future.

You have to also understand people have limited resources and time available to hobby.  Traffic congestion has gotten a lot worse than it was 5 years ago.

World class lady - hope we don't come out of your rotation (

I knowwww! I loved meeting you! I hope this trip pans out ok!

Yeah maybe the traffic? I don't know. Every other city that votes I definitely get follow though. But D.C. Has been less profitable in the end even though it's always 2nd to Nyc! Such a shame.

are you in dc proper or the suburbs?  there are so few women coming to  
Chantilly/Manassas area.

Some observations that may help in providing context but is not by any means excusable for making traveling rougher on you.

I'm short on time so forgive the word dump...

The DC metro area has some of the highest salaries, cost of living, and transient population in the States. Thus, busy lives and busy on the dollar focus yield extreme hours throughout the week. This means that those that can afford the hobby are often on that edge of exhausted a good chunk of the time.  

I've witnessed first hand how unorganized senior managers to senior executives are with their own schedules. Those pulling in numbers well over 150K a year seem to always have their hair on fire with the next crisis. Schedules always seem to shift and some sort of "shiny" opportunity distracts these people. Even with executive assistants and schedulers these people continue to fail at showing up consistently. (I've worked at Deloitte, Booz Allen, IBM, Lockheed, etc...)

I'll also say that getting from A to B to C in this town is a hot mess. Coming from DC to Tysons doesn't look far on a map, but depending on the time of day it can be a headache. Dupont sucks for parking and just getting to in general. The metro is unreliable. Again, the point is, those that can afford some of these higher rate may just feel too fried at the thought of taking time out to get to you and back. In their heads they're doing the cost / benefit analysis and decide to opt out.  

Again, that's just some observations. Not excusable by any means. In my opinion time is our most valuable resource and we each should do our utmost not to frack with someone else's time.  

Sorry to hear you're rethinking DC.

All the best to you!

a 1 hr tryst is the hardest part.  

That being said, I would never contact a lady to consider/entice her to visit the DMV, I simply look for who might be available when the time is right.

That is very interesting sociological insight! I suppose the difficulty in getting around really has a lot to do with it. I think I do notice that in some cities where higher profile professionals are common, it can be less consistent. I can only imagine it gets worse with terrible geography and a large population of those with families to also get back to!  

Gentlemen in DC need to carve out more time for self-care it seems!
