Ok! Let's review the Booking Protocol!

2 cents worth. Shiloh, don't know you, never met you, so probably doesn't apply to you:

"Initial Contact" .... When a phone call, PM, email, and/or 411 message goes unanswered for 24 hours, I can reasonably believe that the recipient is: (1) not interested in scheduling an appointment with me, or (2) is too busy to schedule an appointment with me. At an absolute minimum a business person should immediately respond to inquiries, even if it is merely acknowledging receipt of the inquiry and offering a legitimate explanation of any delay in setting up an appointment.

After 24 hours I can "move on" ... and will.

If a provider is a registered provider here and especially if she places ads, she should respond in a reasonable amount of time (like 24 hrs). Otherwise, update her showcase to say she will be out of town or something. Also let us know which is the best way of contacting her in the showcase. If not, I assume and prefer PM.

If there is one suggestion to ladies here is that they mention what part of town they are in (approximately). Houston is way to big to drive half way across town, especially during rush hours. As a preemptive measure, I ask in the PM query and tell her what part of town I'm in and what my available hours are. I also like providers who tell you what their basic availablity is as in working a day job so afterwork and weekends are best.
Most annoying threAD ever. Gimme a day to compose and post a condescending "how to" for the ladies and let's see if they're half as polite as these guys have been.

Shitty customers and shitty service providers are part of life. Deal with it, don't treat the rest of us like retards.

There already is. If a credible member posts that he has been nc/ns, and explains that it was not made-up satisfactorily, we write her off as a flake.
You can't write a review if nothing took place. And, I don't need a moderator to decide if I can post a nc/ns - I'm fucking posting it!!! Period. Originally Posted by bbkid

I respectfully disagree, you are not with the hobbyist, you probably go into a session with positive thoughts, ready to have a good time. You did your research, and pretty much expected a good time.

Unfortunately, not all are like that, some hobbysit bring their baggage from their last horrible experience into their new session, making the provider uncomfortable.

I thought we were all here for "a good time." The problem with the laundry list of do's and don't's by the OP is that probably most hobbyists are looking for a pleasant fantasy to distract them, even for some few moments, from the structured, dictated, and often repetitive reminders of someone else's list of "do's" and "don't's" and having the fantasy balloon burst by someone "laying down the law" ... just ain't fun.... and clearly is not my idea of "a good time."

I have no idea how many times I have said:

.. "if I want to get bitched at, I'll go get married."

Houston SUCKS for me - I live here, and travel out of town. Note ALL my reviews are not from Houston. There is a lot of false interest here in Houston.

Funny thing is that this thread was meant to be a voice for the providers and instead the gents seemed like the victims here. Hmmmm
