Ladies, how do you think clients feel when you stand them up?

[sharkskin]

Yet again, I made an appointment to see an escort and turned up on time.

Turning up involved a long cold trudge over Dublin's icy streets but I made sure that I was there on time.

I rang but there was no answer, I rang several times over five minutes and the lady could not be bothered picking up the phone.

I had no option but to turn around and head back.

Why take a booking if you are not going to answer the phone when the client arrives?

It hurts me as a client but it also hurts other escorts. I have learned enough about myself to know that, once I have been left out to dry like that, I should not attempt to see another escort. I will be feeling tense and on edge and will not enjoy myself. Just as bad, if I see an escort when I am in that frustrated frame of mind, she will realise that I am not enjoying my time with her and will probably be unhappy too.

So, if an escort accepts a booking from me and does not go through with it, she has stopped another lady from earning money. My punting is limited by the availability of opportunities not cash so when a punt falls through, that has a direct impact on my punting spend. To put it another way, if every lady with whom I made a booking picked up her phone and said that she was ready when I turned up on time and called, my punting spend would be 30-40% higher than it is.

To make this more directly personal, there were seven names on my list today. Number 4 answered the phone and accepted my booking. Ladies, how would you feel if you knew that you actually had been number 5 on the list and missed out on the chance of a couple of hundred Euros because number 4 accepted a booking but never went through with it?

If the escort is professional in any way, standing a client up is unacceptable.

If the escort is unable to see the client for whatever reason, he/she should have the courtesy to inform the client asap verbally, not by ignoring him. It happened to me before where suddenly the escort wasn't available, we met in person and she gave me a name and number to ring. I didn't moan a bit cause I know the escort herself cares about her client's needs (I'm a regular) more than the cash, her action was very much appreciated.

There's a forum on "bad clients" and I think there should be one for "bad escorts"

Well, to be fair, there is a warnings forum to which clients can post and an escort who allows reviews can also get a review that states that she did not honour a booking.

Ah.. yer right Shark, didn't think of it..

I think is very easy for ur guys to said good or bad escorts the numbers of clients who book and do not show (even regular many time) (not only me but i have discuss this with few ladies) now have not the decency to cancel or if they do is 5mn before the booking time. And as you all know with the economic situation girls would not take too much risk knowing that the guy who had book may never show and she will have lost a chance to make money. Years ago if 1 client do not show up u will have time to catch up later during the day but now it is less and less the case. I only wish sometime a client will seats a day with a lady and see what we are going through and all the wanker we can meet or have on phone these days.

But in other hand you have some nice and polite gents who come and put back your faith in your job
More the time go less this job is easy in both side unfortunately. Guy dont always blame us blame all the wankers out there who spend all days wasting our time and making us think you are the next tw

Merry Christmas

What are you trying to say here sasha?

I may have misunderstood, but it seems to me that you are saying that I should not complain about an escort failing to keep a booking because sometimes clients do not keep bookings.

Is that your point?

Because if it is, I want to know if I can turn that around and say that clients should not care about not keeping appointments because sometimes escorts do not. Are you happy with that? I very much doubt it. I would not be happy with that.

If you want to complain about the economic situation, what do you have to say about the escort who was number five on my list? Chances are that at 15:00 this afternoon she was sat on her lonesome without a client because the escort who was number four had got me out in Dublin 7 hanging about waiting for someone to answer the phone.

How would you feel if you had been that number five and you had just been cheated out of the chance to get my money by the number four who took the booking but never picked up the phone? Really, how would you feel if that was you? Please tell me that. Because there was a number five on the list who never had a chance of getting my money today and that was not down to me, that was down to number four.

If you were that number five, what would you have to say to number four? Would you commiserate with her about some other clients who didn't turn up or would you complain that you were two hundred euro down because she grabbed a booking that she could not fulfill when you would have been happy to get hot and sticky with sharkskin and not leave him out in the snow?

As the economic situation has been mentioned here, I do not believe it would make good financial sense for an escort to turn away a client who is virtually waiting outside her door with his money when she also has a booking from another client for approximately the same time, who may or may not actually turn up on time or at all.

In an ideal world, escorts would operate a strict booking system, not double book, leave sufficient time between clients to shower and get ready again and clients would always turn up on time........but of course it does'nt work like that. If an escort was to operate such a system, she would probably have to turn away or postpone seeing genuine clients because time wasters had taken up some of her booking slots. Many of these genuine clients, unable to get a booking when the desire was on them, would simply look elsewhere. I think many escorts have probably learned to their cost, that a strict booking system does not work and that a first come first serve operation makes the most sense for non-regular clients. Regular clients who are respectful, clean and turn up on time will always be given preference. It may be that escorts who frequent the boards and use the pm system for accepting and arranging booking from establish members, would also give such clients preference over others.

I don't blame the escorts for this. If time wasters did not exist, then there would not be any insentive or need for them to double book.

This is an unwinable argument. There are good and bad on both sides - both clients and escorts. The actions of one rub off on all the others so it's a risk of being in the game that you'll be let down.

The only thing I might say is that the client is usually the one who does the traveling to the escorts location so it's especially pissy to be left standing outside in the freezing cold or pouring rain for nothing.

Still .... as I said, both clients and escorts are guilty of this sometimes so both have to roll with the punches on this one.

I think Carlos explanation said it all. Clear and simple and as always well written

Answer to Sharskin
For me i don’t wish to be n 4 or 5 escorts for the simple reasons usually when guys make such a long list that mean they don’t know really know who they are looking for.
I can understand guy making choices between 2 ladies but up is for me they don’t know who they want.

And usually the same guy who have numbers of ladies listed will try A if she is busy he will try B C D, D take the booking and he will continue calling A and A finish by answering his txt and he will go and see A and will not call D to cancel and D meanwhile been saying to others gents she already booked so at the end she finish losing both booking .
Girls have seen guys booking coming to location after giving flat or room number desapear. And phone switch off.

This job is more complicated than he looks like
