I don't travel often but for my first trip in almost three years I decided to visit my favorite place. Yes here my loves.
I don't see very many people and my old friends always take priority.
I had two cancelled  appointments in one day.  I hate to say it but I'm leaving early and will not
Be returning as many other reputable providers have expressed the same. It's such a shame because this town used to be full of life, fun And action. Now, it seems as though the respect or lack there of for a providers time is of no significance.
I would like to know if somebody had an explanation for the general lack of respect for our time. Touring is never easy and lots of preparation and money are major factors.
I hate to say it but myself, along with  many other top reviewed ladies, have taken D.C. Off the list of touring cities to visit and this is why.  
I know this had been addressed before however clearly the point  was not received.  
To those that cancelled, please do not use me for a reference.
And to the ladies, I apologize for having given you the OK when I was asked for a reference. From now on cancellations will be mentioned and rightfully so.
I have decided to cut my trip short and head home. There are plenty of gentleman that stand by their word and keep their appointments as planned, sometimes weeks in advance.
And no the dog didn't eat your phone, your not sick (again), after I just received a verification from a provider last week for you :-/. It's a matter of respect my time is just as valuable as yours.
Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason.  
Would love to hear you voice on this matter.
Some time, money, planning, advertising etc go I to this venture and it seems that I/we are just taken for granted.  

Yes, DC has high cancellation rate, but so do other big metropolitan cities. I feel bad for you, for losing your time and business, but sometimes its just cost of doing business. Some guys have no value for other gals' time, and sometimes it goes the other way too where the provider cancels on us.  

Have you seen them before ?

Wanted me to be on stand by. Lol!  

Maybe to take a longer appointment instead? I can understand your frustration in having people cancel on you last minute but shit happens. Don't come on here and "threaten" us that you're not coming back to DC. You didn't come to DC cuz you missed us all so much and you couldn't stand to be away... You came here to make money. Nothing wrong with that at all but it's a risk/reward situation and this time you came out on the short end of the stick. Like Curly said, there aren't any more cancellations here than any other major city you go to. It was luck of the draw and it didn't work out this time. Don't come crying on the boards about it. Grow up and realize that sometimes it's the cost of doing business. I'm sure other times you've come here and killed it or else you wouldn't have scheduled a return trip.  

And met many wonderful people.
Many regular friends.  Plus I have college friends and enjoy the city tremendously. So you are incorrect on several aspects.
But I hate to be the one to tell
That DC has grown a huge reputation for no shows and cancellations and many ladies won't tour in DC for this reason.
Just a heads up.  
It's been mentioned on this board before.

No one is inviting you here with a guarantee of income...

Elle...Sad to say your right. DC has the reputation of NCNS for clients and Im sure its probably accurate. The issue keeps coming up again and again.

This uh diatribe will surely have the scoundrels regretting what they missed. Showing up in basically a city you don't visit and bashing the guys via a gross generalization surely an interesting marketing ploy.  

help me get the over $1k i lost from providers cancelling on me?

And as I stated this is clearly an issue in DC more so than other places.  
Lesson learned.  
Besides, I don't need to travel to make my living nor can I with my successful personal life.
I was simply making a point and hAving an adult conversation.  
Apparently some took very much offense to it. That's just sad.
Move on, I have.

I cannot speak for anyone but myself but I’m willing to bet there are a lot of guys around here in the same situation I am. Because of the nature of my business my schedule can change based on the priority of the moment.  So when a client needs my assistance do I make them wait or fulfill the terms of my contract and take care of them? For me the answer is simple, I take care of my client. After all, without them I’m not making any money and couldn’t afford to hobby.  
(Yes, making them wait a few hours can/does create big issues for my clients and the way they deal with me taking longer than we agreed is to replace me with someone who doesn’t. How do I know this? I pick up new clients all the time because the last guy took too long to respond.)
I’m a cup half full kind of guy so rather than bash each other IMHO I think we should share ways to make it better for everyone.
A solution that has been working pretty well for me is I ask to be penciled in with the understanding that if the lady gets a more secure booking it’s ok to take me off the schedule. It’s a win – win. If she gets a more secure offer I move on or reschedule. If I have to cancel it’s really no harm done because she didn’t turn away any other opportunities waiting for me. If the stars align we both get what we want. Of course there is communication between us so it’s not as volatile as it sounds and cancelations from either side are pretty rare.  It’s not a perfect solution but seems to work pretty well.  
I'm sure that there are other ways to address this

Phila here adding my two bits  . Last Sat nite I had a date appt a week in advance . The agency said will text the day off but I texted them 1st thing Sat morning at 11 am I get text back sorry family problems . So I hit P411 found someone else she was 40 lbs bigger then her pic . A month ago in parking lot text for room number the asst calls I'm so sorry she very ill and this was 500 NYC gal I could have cried but as Godfather said this is the path  we have chosen

You definitely mentioned implementing cancellation fees in your OP.  

I knew you are in town and would love nothing more than to be suffocated by your DDs. However, circumstances have kept me from hobbying recently but knowing this I stay clear of booking.  

and some don't. I loved her description of her personal life as "hugely successful" I paraphrase. And she can't even recall minutes later that she in her initial thread decided she was going to implement cancellation fees. Hey, if she can do it, have at it. This thread is quite amusing. As a guy who gets to DC on occasion, I find the ladies there top shelf and never complain (more than others) about cancellations. Someone must think they are overly important?  

Why didn't you answer his question?

I responded with a question for that reason.  

She's the one losing income by not visiting over a dumb reason.  Darwin award candidate.

DC is known for clients who book multiple ladies' times, and then decide last minute who they are in the mood to see.  DC has one of the worst reputations.....However, it is also contributed by traveling guys' (When I use the word "guy" rather than "gentleman", it is meant in a very derogatory sense.), because there is a large transient element here.

It's the abundance of providers that are practicing unsafe acts these days....and actually advertise it!  Not only are they stupid, but their clients are even more ignorant!

Its not just you, it happens all over the city all the time.  Filled with self important A-type personalities and the BS travels downhill.  Ask any lobbyist how often a member of congress has cancelled on him for a speaking engagement.  Probably like you, they don't do it unless absolutely necessary, because they will flake on you.

Very well stated, had a provider flake (just once) and scrambled and then gave up.  Thats why I think agencies are great for both parties.  If a client flakes, there will be another looking for a spot last minute.  If something happens, there often times is an alternative based on the size of the agency.

And you 'ladies' wonder why guys won't give out all their info? Ya go to their place of biz and ruin their lives. Perfect. Lets see if the Queen of BSC here calls YOU out for using an alias. I doubt it. Can't believe she hasn't pulled down this quality thread yet. That says it all.  

Lets bash the paying client some more. And I bet Elle bashes you for using your alias. NOT.  

Empathize with you and understand why you're pissed. 2 cancelations = 1k so I understand the tone of your post. But you also have to understand that things happen which may require immediate attention.  

This isn't the first time a provider has ranted on this board about a cancellation and threatened to never return. The rants dont change anything. There will always be cancellations and there will always be an abundance of providers visiting our area. Nothing you say is going to change that. This isnt news to us...it's been a topic for years. Yet, people still visit because this city is full of working professionals with disposable income.

First, I've never once in my life, on any of these boards, have ever used an alias. (You can ask anyone who knows me.) Can you say the same?  I have no problem voicing my opinions on anything.  I have also done it face to face with clients.  I won't just bend over and take it up my *ss for any guy with a buck in his hand.  I expect some respect as a human being.....and I won't apologize for it.  (I guess that is why my clients have a higher intellect than your Neanderthal concept of human interaction.)

"Why agencies are great?" Did you really just say that? Talk to any of the guys in ATL shitting bricks right now over two major agencies going down with who knows how much male personal info? Good luck with agencies.  

she is clearly bat shit crazy and dangerous!

It goes in spurts. It seems like when one cancels then more follow. Then for weeks it's perfect. I tour a little so  know what it's like. Sometimes you just have to keep trying.  

Today is a new day to start implementing cancellation fees. And with good reason

Just a tad defensive are we? Where do I start to ask someone about you? Names please. Hard to get a read on you with all the reviews you have attached to your handle here.  

I just play one on TV. Though I have met Syd twice, I doubt she even remembers me, so there's no kissing up here. I think she was joking. That's why she threw in the "if you are completely nuts" and the "*grins*".

Often, guys, in response to complains of their cancellations, like to respond by saying "You do it too." There is no comparison between an hobby and a livelihood.  When a lady cancels on me, I say to myself, "Great I just saved some dough. I'm just gonna go ahead and take case of business myself" and be done in 10 minutes -- which saves time as well.

Yelp a std epidemic is going to hit the hobby big-time.  I saw a post on another site about a bp provider from Baltimore having stage 3 syphilis.

You're a real piece of work.

I agree with Curly, DC is no different from other major cities. People have busy fast paced jobs in major cities and schedules can change unexpectedly. Too bad Vegas girl seems to think everyone's on vacation with flexible schedules like how guys are in Vegas.  She shoots herself in the foot and earns herself a new reputation of being a drama queen and a bitching whiner in a city that is more affluent than majority of other cities and full of men with stable income. I certainly won't be seeing her. Darwin award candidate.

.....many of my gentlemen callers are active in politics, law, lobbying, etc, and can get called in to a meeting at a moment's notice, need to race to the Hill to cast a vote, department chair has a last minute meeting with the dean, or God forbid, get's held up by a motorcade.  Most parents these days both work, and sometimes it's the dad who might have to pick up a sick child, etc.  Life happens.

Suggesting that a provider show up at someone's workplace because they cancelled a date?

Let's have some perspective.

...accordingly?!?!?  First hint is "....I don't travel often but for my first trip in almost three years..."  So you have not been here in 3 years and you expect not to get ANY or, at least one cancellation?!?!  Really?  DC has many Hobby options and just because in your world you have not been here and you obviously expected the DC Hobby scene to bow down at your arrival was your first mistake.

I'm not  from Vegas either lol, Darwin!  

why do they keep getting appointments?  

I've moved on and so should you.  
Maybe I'll see you at the next meet and greet. Lol
Scotch, scotch, scotch and  a prostate exam to remove your panties!

I guess you feel the need to keep chiming back in to let us know you don't care and were "laughing the entire time"...sure you were.  

Yet she whines about two cancelations and claims two cases supports the false stereotype that DC has a bad rep. Contradict much?  Clearly not a very smart girl and doesn't belong in a city full of educated people.  

With that, it's GUARANTEED it will be a looong time before you have another cancellation in DC.

in many cases. Things can change and even traffic can change, lol.  

First thing you have to realize is the internet constantly changing the rules.  (You have some nasty that is going on, and many of you approve of it.

Keep on 'stroking' those DC gents. Don't come back and build your base. Don't bite your tongue on a pair of no shows. Lash out. Genius marketing. Sheer genius.  

While your die hard defense of your peers is admirable, it is misplaced in this case.  And for the record, YES, I am a business man.

Bye, Elle is the author of the OP sorry you missed that. She was bashing guys using aliases. Just like you were bashing us as "monkeys." Easy to see why you ran and hid. As difficult as that is to accomplish.

-- Yes, clients cancel on escorts, both those locally based and those visiting.  Dates with escorts are playtime for us, and when work conflicts, most of us will choose work over play.  This shouldn't surprise anyone.  It has happened to me before, and I hate it, but I have to prioritize.  I always ensure to let a lady know ASAP and offer my profuse apologies.

I've had that scare before, I don't do agencies that ask for private info.   There are other ways of getting cleared.
