Probable cause.

Slight digression... Fantastic is often Average Fantastic is sometimes Fantastic Fantastic is sometimes Very Good Fantastic could be less than Average Same holds true for Very Good. I think too many post reviews within 20 minutes of their session. There should be a 3-day waiting period. =) If a lady has all Fantastic reviews then I am fairly certain that she will be somewhere between OK and OMFG great!

Nope. This is a business-client thing. If a business makes a mistake and inconveniences a client then they are well-advised to "make it up" to the client. If a client does the same, the business can choose to not offer services to the client, but the client owes NOTHING to the business. But since most people have NO clue how to run a business.........

I would tend to agree if I could only find a massage therapist that gives a really good massage (I am really picky) and a HE.

Ya I have seen Summer too; several times. She is one of the better massage therapists I have ever seen. Legit, but draping is totally optional. I opt for un-draped. Draping seems totally pointless as long as it is optional. =)

Trust... Fear... Consequences... Whatever works.

Heh. I'd give you my SSN. What do I care? What are you going to do with it?

Meh. Just more people to track down... What makes you think a fairly savvy provider doesn't already know exactly who you are? I have said it before, I will say it again: Give me a halfway decent face pic and a license plate number and I will tell you your life story. Which of those do you hide completely?

Ever hear of the simple defenses to identity theft?

Nah. You can ask every provider I have ever seen and I have given them enough info to find out exactly who I am - which consists of my email address that contains both my first & last name and that is plenty as I am relatively high profile without being a public figure and it would be 100% impossible to successfully blackmail me. I figure that the ladies take on much more risk than us guys and I am perfectly willing to do what I can to put them at ease.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. =) Some of the work I have done involves security; particularly from a tech standpoint and I can say with absolute certainty that no activity is truly anonymous. But on the flip side I could give anyone here my full name, address & social security number and not one damn thing bad would happen to me.

I NEVER give my real name. I use a carefully crafted pseudonym, wear a fake mustache, nose & glasses (insist they remain on the entire time), change cars 3 times on the way to the location, then park the last car in a random person's garage, pick a bus stop at least 4 miles away at random, take 5 buses, steal (er- borrow) a random stranger's cell phone for communication with the provider and then buy a complete set of clothes from the nearest second-hand shop. Then, and only then, do I knock on the door. Takes a little longer to prep for a session (only a day or two), but one can never be too careful. I have been toying with the idea of just sending some random homeless guy in my place - I think that might be more safe... Meh. For those of us that don't have to actually check to see if we have a pair tucked away in our jeans this is NEVER a problem.

Until someone actually turns down a very large sum of money their words are completely empty.

Actually I am glad you mentioned this; it can be a learning experience for everyone - if they choose to try to learn from experience anyway. The gentleman was late. There is no excuse for that - including heavy traffic. Google Maps is a great tool. Now a multi-car pileup, woman giving birth, alien abduction, rapture, OK those would probably be good excuses. However what made this more difficult than it had to be was the chosen method of communication. Because of that I, personally, have to find more fault with you because it is YOUR chosen method of communication as well as because you are the "business" in this scenario. Further I honestly don't care if you had 1,000 fantastic reviews, the fact is that you have 1 other recent review that indicates that your chosen method of communication is affecting your ability to do business AND that you choose to blame the client rather than considering that maybe an email or two did not come through in a timely manner, or at all. So, while you seem perfectly lovely, that 1 review is enough that I would have to consider that the increase in likelihood that there may be a problem outweighs the pleasant possibilities especially when there is plenty of competition to choose from. If this is acceptable to you, please take $600 every week for at least the next 6 months and flush it down the toilet. Because that is pretty much what you are doing. Choose to take this however you want. After all, what do *I* know about business?
