Providers who No Show

There are flaky people in general. Not just the hobby. I have never NCNS anyone in the hobby or real life. I am very organized and responsible to 'not show up' for no reason. That's just baddd!!! If I ever NCNS anyone, there is a good chance that I am probably really really sick, injured or … worst case scenario. :/ Originally Posted by samantha thom

There are plenty of people in the civvie world that act unprofessionally. Just take a look around at your workplace and you'll see plenty of them.

I wouldn't expect the Hobby world to be particularly different (although possibly a slightly higher density of unprofessional attitudes on both sides due to generally large egos involved).

Likewise in the regular world, when you come across someone who does act professionally, that's a gem you should reward and cherish!

Ah yes...the better offer. I don't blame you girls for canceling my one hour at the last minute because a guy wants to see you for two hours. Don't blame you a bit.

In both cases, it's BS and shouldn't be practiced in the hobby. A deal's a deal.

Random thoughts on how this type of thing shows in the real world (and it baffles me just as much as the NCNS in this world!)
.............

These are just some random examples of how prevalent it is for people to think nothing of NCNS and not feel any sense of responsibility over it. Originally Posted by HoneyRose

My goodness, I may find you obnoxious - but I'm glad you get this!

A happy wife is a happy life!

Make us happy. Let us watch our tv, say, "nice dress" once in a while.. Even if you mean it to the lady on the tv (just be sure we are wearing a dress) and buy us a pair of shoes once in a while. Simple. You get blowjobs.

Don't. Make. This. Complex.

Women love gifts and compliments, men love dinner and blow jobs. Originally Posted by Alyssa Marie

I agree Rambro...but, as Alyssa said...
And this place is far from perfect; unregulated and the Wild, Wild West of a sexual playground. No rules here, except to have fun!

I agree Rambro, but there's very little integrity on either side in the Hobby. I won't go so far as to say I don't blame them, but I do understand their thinking. Sucks for us. Luckily, there are sooo many to choose from in Dallas.

It's funny to see some providers with a warning to the tune of, 'If you cancel our appointment, you must pay the entire donation.'

OK. The check's in the mail.

Do you want to know the reason behind it?
I was told by Gina that if I had one
1) she would back me with my cancelations
2) it will make them be significantly lower
Since I started it, I have had two last minute cancelations. That's it.
There is a huge difference between a bullshitter and a legit cancelation.
If someone cancels on me, I ask for partial payment. You better bet I will use that partial payment towards our next time together. Don't plan on trying to see me again and don't want to pay a cancelation fee? Easy, be serious about bookings.

When I cancel I offer a discount off of our time together or extra time. I have only had to cancel one time in the past three months. Lucky for me, he was running late without even telling me.. So, I didn't offer him anything.

I understand your reasoning...but some cancellations are unavoidable by both parties, Alyssa. BTW, cool of you to offer a discount if you cancel. A few Providers have done this. The time frame of cancellation is also a big factor. I'm assuming you're offering this discount if you cancel the day of.
I assume a lot here, lol.

To be honest, if you expect this partial payment, chances are the guy will never see you and not pay the cancellation fee. Seriously.

Last minute cancellations, yes. I would consider last minute being within an hour. Even then, a fender bender would be a last minute, but who's in the mood after a car accident.

A lack of a warning of any sort would be bad (i.e. no call or text, just leaving the other party hanging).

If the other party is notified, say, 4 hours beforehand, I see nothing wrong with that.

To get money for NOT working, just, doesn't compute in my mind. What if she fills that void with a last minute regular? Now she's getting paid double. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in a car accident or family emergency, with a huge buzzkill feeling. I'm just saying. Shit happening shouldn't be held against people.
