Of late there seems to be an alarming trend of disrespect towards ladies. And I know I am not alone in saying I have well and truly had enough of it.

There was a thread about this the other day on the General Discussion board (see link).   This unfortunately isn't just a local thing nor is it just the client who is guilty of this.  

Thank you for sharing, I haven't been on the general discussion board before.
Call me old fashioned I guess, I always have respect or courtesy for others and the ghosting I have experienced in the last couple of weeks has been unbelievable.  
It happened again tonight, which is obviously why I came here for advice.
I seriously don't get the whole I am on my way, and then not evening showing. It's something I would never ever do to another person.  

...that's the first mention I got from my thread that wasn't a pathetic  rant on what an A-hole I was.
It won't happen overnight, but I'm pushing and encouraging the continuous movement towards electronic currency.
There are many moving parts, yes, but a system of 20% deposit for booking appointment would make most sense.

The PO board is a Provider's Only board.  There is certain criteria that a lady has to meet to be allowed access to it.  The General Board can be rough and you certainly need thicker skin.  Responses to threads are totally unfiltered.

and I saw no reason to beat an otherwise dead horse anymore.  I personally only missed one appointment because I was traveling and lost my phone.  I had no way of contacting her.  I did make it up to her by sending her a gift card when I returned home.  

Thank you, Kiwi's are great people. We are laid back, happy and bubbly. I am glad you have had the opportunity to meet on your journeys. I am glad you encountered what we are all about.

lol, I'm sorry if I gave you that impression, NO I'm not under the impression my post is making any difference.  I'm just talking shit really, killing time, reaching out for support & resistance alike.

Is the Newbie board.  On that board, you can ask questions and get honest feedback, from both clients and providers.  The feedback is generally more social and nowhere near as harsh as the General board.  

It is up to each lady how she deals with this, what adjustments she makes, and ultimately how she chooses to run her business.  

thanks for the suggestion camper

If a guy asks for a specific hotel it is reasonable for him to pay a deposit.  That's one way to do business.  My style is the opposite.  I pre-screen ahead and call to book at the last minute.  I will go to the hotel where the girl is already at.  I take my chances with the girl being available...essentially filling in an empty space in her schedule.

The situation sounds horrible, totally unacceptable. There is just so much local tv one can watch while waiting patiently.  

Offering incalls because of this.. I can't believe how often it happens to her.. a guy books 2 hours then doesn't show.. in her case, she counted on the income.. and then has none and has paid for a room..  

It works both ways. Last 2 appt I had flaked on me. Well reviewed ladies too.  Very disappointed.  One of them tells me she wasnt able to book a place when I was on my way to the place she said was booked! The other tells me omg... I totally forgot.... as i am sitting in the parking lot calling, sending texts and emails.  I could just leave bad reviews but then Ill be black listed on a lies.... because thats how it works apparently.

You can only write a review if you actually met them.  In both situations that didn't occur.  You're only option would be to identify both ladies who stood you up on a board post or you could have individuals PM you for that information if you want to avoid any blowback from either of them.  

Did I say it's acceptable? Quite the opposite.

either way, letting others know about what happened blows back on me.... even with pms. Kindabdefeats the purpose of a review site.  If a lady blows you off and flakes, should be out there to warn if it shows as a trend..... dont waste your time.

I'd like to hear more opinions on this?  I don't know that it's true, I guess it could be?  What if you're white-listed?  Wouldn't provider references counteract the fear factor of possibly receiving a negative review?

Now what to do???

I contacted her about 2 hours before I needed her and we agreed on a time, and when I later arrived at her incall I texted her to tell her I was there.  She texted back saying she needed about 5 to 10 minutes to get ready, which I said was fine.

can you pm me who it was, I would like to stay clear.

What with providers ghosting?  If a client does it they get black listed.  What's worse is fishing.  When providers claim they are coming and then cancel on you last minute.
