I have been lurking here for a while, posted a few reviews and commented little.
Here's my frustration:
I have seen a few providers on here but have not reviewed all of them for discretionary reasons...I know, right! It seems that unless you have elevty-million posts (well, many anyway), providers won't see you without screening (very understandable) AND recent references.
The reason I had not posted reviews on a couple of the providers was that there were plenty out there already and my experience was the same as posted (pos or neg)...why post more of the same?! Well, now I understand how important it is for references.
I had an appointment a while back with a fairly popular provider. I was at the intended location on-time, called to let her know that I was there and she asked that I give her about 10 mins. To make it short, she NEVER called me back and I saw her drive away...I have seen her pics in her showcase. She would not answer my calls and I was pretty pissed.
I tried to logically deduce what happened...it didn't make sense to me. My only thought was that my 'look' scared her off. I am retired Military, stocky/athletic, shaved head, goatie and often told that I look like LE. Nothing could be further from the truth but that is all I could come up with. As with most here, discretion is of utmost importance to me!
As for recent providers/references, I don't partake in the hobby often enough to accumulate them (qualifying as 'recent' anyway). That leaves me to troll Moco and indulge in the 'good stuff' when I can...assuming I will be seen.
That's my rant anyway. Thanks for reading and I am sure that I am not the only one in this boat.
Cheers!
