Is scheduling hard?

I have never found it difficult to screen someone but on occasion, if I have never met you then it can be a tad difficult but when your screened, your good.

Not talking about the SO or leaving work but how hard is it on the guys end to actually set the appt in stone? Do you get blown off, have to try 3 different ladies, etc?

I see very,very few ladies anymore. Since I've seen them for a few years scheduling generally goes pretty smoothly but life does happen, babysitters don't show, cars break down etc.

When the economy was better and I was seeing more ladies some of them were notoriously poor at scheduling, you just have to be aware of reputations and allow for it.

Getting stood up or put off on a photo shoot is a bigger deal because it sometimes involves taking a vacation day and always involves moving a lot of stuff. The last time that happened I had already taken the day off and completely filled the trunk and backseat with lighting etc. In some ways as frustrating as getting cancelled on or having to cancel after taking that expensive blue pill.

But it obviously does cut both ways. A few weeks ago I got cold feet when I arrived at the incall of a young lady I hadn't met and cancelled last minute. It's the only time I ever did that, but it just didn't feel right.

Sometimes Yes...because like I said before my bank has better hours than most of these women... Now dont get me wrong, I understand some ladies have kids,husbands, girlfriends,pimps, etc whatever..a personal life, but we all do.. I think they need to remember this is a hustle its not meant for long term..and a hustle means ur hours are flexible.. I dont really care for amps and studios but they are convenient but also like a box of chocolates..

Then, this is less of a problem, but sometimes she cannot commit to the time requested and there needs to be some back and forth. That doesn't really bother me as long as she keeps me informed. It is also common with appointments made days in advance for communication to go silent on the day of the appointment, and you're unable to get confirmation or an address (maybe 10%). Moreover, indies often ask to push back the start time of the session (maybe 20% don't start on time). Finally, you probably already know that NCNSs are not infrequent (10%?). All the scheduling hassles are one of the biggest reasons guys love AMPs, especially if it is a spur of the moment decision.

P.S. Probably needless to say, but my estimates are very rough guesses and reliability problems from one escort to another varies greatly.

I too see very few ladies, mostly only just one which I have seen for the past 2 years on a regular basis. We normally meet the same day, same time of every week, so scheduling is not really a problem since she always finds a way to see me on another day or time.

In the past when I was running all over town seeing a different girl every week there were complications on occasion that required me to come up with a Plan B or even a Plan C. One time a Plan C girl told me that one of my references told her I had contacted another girl prior to her, but she thought that was just too funny since she said this is a business you know.

The only problem I have had lately is the lack of response for a girl I have contacted thru P411 or left voice message. The last time this happened it took 2 different girls 2 days to get back to me to say they could not see me the day I requested but they could see in another 2 days. No explanation as to why the wait, maybe they were just too booked up, at least that what I like to think.

Excellent topic! I have discovered that on my first go round several yrs back it was easier on scheduling. This time around (since March) it has been a chaotic mess. I have sat and analyzed to figure out why and here is what I have discovered with me personally.
Last time..I had an assistant, I wasnt working another job on the side, we didnt have p411, I was living in an area I knew very well. Scheduling around family members was much easier back then as I knew where my kids would be. Now that my kids are married and not living at home they think I truly have no life and will just txt and say...hey we are here!!! That jacks up my schedule tremendously!
LAST WEEK ...I decided to make some changes. 1) told the kids to NO LONGER drop by unannounced. (ok, so I had to make them think I had a life of sorts...lol).
2) I hired an assistant to assist me with booking appts as of nxt week. Her name is Kyndle btw. I have also finally created a generic 1st response email to make things easier with details of what I need from you if you dont contact m e thru p411.
No doubt, it will be smoother on my end with scheduling now that I have an assistant.
I start training Kyndle on the phone and appt setting nxt Monday so Sept looks stress free...yay!!
Any input on making it smoother from both sides of the fence is appreciated.

I wish you well rachel, I had an asst at one point and it helped tremendously!

Boy could I tell some stories about scheduling issues LOL But lets face it, real world comes into play. I know a few ladies who have canceled on me a few times due to medical reasons or personal issues. As long as you communicate with me in a timely manner Im usually pretty understanding and you wont see me bitch. Frustrated yes, but no bitching LOL I do try to see the same lady only because Im pretty shy and seeing new people all the time just freaks me out, Im a creature of comfort, but even with a regular lady shit still happens. But with this hobby I think you need to accept some delays, I know there are guys out there who give the lady one chance and move on due to the surplus of talent we have out there, thats fine and their choice.

Kend61, see you bitch?? Never! But on the other hand (because you are so shy) it might just be a turn on! Glad to be under you today..Mmm!

Turning you on IP not a bad thing

scheduling and screening are the two hardest parts of my career!!!!

coordinating two peoples schedules can be tricky...especially when a guy prebooks but office emergencies come up at last minute and he has to cancel or wants to move times!

Finally under dallas rain. Now for scheduling I am just like every one else. P411 really helps and the folks who know the drill are not all that hard. Those who want to hold back info can make scheduling task a nightmare.

i cannot even imagine all the emails, texts, phone calls, pvt msgs you women must receive. [it's probably not as bad as Bruce in "Bruce Almighty" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315327/]
then to have to sort thru them and attempt to figure out who's serious and who's a time waster!!
and then spend time and energy to get all lovely for him and he doesnt show up!!
i give all of you a ton of hugs, kisses, love and positive energy for doing what you do!!



that said, it must be the women i schedule with cos it's never been that difficult. maybe cos a) i schedule several days to a week or more in advance [even a month] and b) i dont HAVE to have the appt. if it happens, great. if it doesnt, it doesnt. [for many reasons, including either of us have RL or business events that take precedence or she quits communicating day before of day of (very very rare in my case)].

sometimes the woman asks to move the appt back cos she's still getting ready. sometimes i ask to move the appt back cos i got scheduled w/ a bizmtg or such.
i very much appreciate the women's tolerance of my time challenges.

to answer your question "but how hard is it on the guys end to actually set the appt in stone? Do you get blown off, have to try 3 different ladies, etc?"

tho it may take a few emails or calls back and forth, it's not difficult in the grand scheme of things. and if i cannot connect w/ the woman, i take a pass and move on to someone else or another time.

it's difficult to not take this sub-culture seriously, but it's easier to take this sub-culture and our interactions as pure delites and pleasure than to take it "seriously" and get all worked up, bent out of shape, or pissed off when things dont go "my way".

at least that's how i look at it.
i am grateful and appreciative of the women i visit!


oh, and so grateful to be under "the chelsea"!!!!!

Not once has anyone made the "hard" joke from the title of this thread. How "hard" is it to schedule. Well, the harder it is, the more painfully slow the scheduling is.

I was in a hot tub room with a lady one time. We were running out of time, but not activity. I pushed the call button on the wall, the guy came on the speaker "Yes, may I help you?"

"Yeah, how hard would be to get an extra half hour?"

"Well, how hard is it?"

"Huh...wha..?"

"You got it." CLICK

Now if it was just that easy when it's hard, that would be great.

I have observed during my time on this board that screening seems to be of utmost importance to most providers. Understandably so. I know from experience that some providers simply take my word for it when I say I saw their ad on ECCIE and I'm on P411 with "X" OK's. I have a fairly hectic and unpredictable schedule because my job requires that I jump on a plane at a moments notice and head to who knows where for several days at a time. Often I end up back in town on a mid-morning flight with some otherwise unplanned or unscheduled time available to pursue to hobby.

Because I know it is respectful to help ensure a providers' safety through screening, I try and get pre-screened, if possible, so that if a last minute opportunity arises the screening is already out of the way. Unfortunately, my presreen requests, PMs, and/or emails to providers are not often answered when I try to think ahead and get prescreened. I also try and forecast to a prospective provider that my screwed up schedule usually only allows for semi-last minute appointments (at least two hours notice is certainly understandable). If they don't want that kind of request I ask them to let me know. Most, if not all, of the providers I have met through prescreens or seen in sessions indicated that they will try and and be available for short notice when they can.

My question, and it's probably pretty stupid question: Do virtually all hobby guys tell the providers they can only do last minute calls for appts? I'm trying to be truthful about my schedule... and I get a kind of yea, yea, yea, blah, blah, blah (or no response at all) from some prospective providers. However, if that's all they hear all day every day then I can understand why they are not too responsive or impressed by my hard-to-schdule-in-the-future truthfulness.
