I never used it. Just gonna leave that there lest I be considered less than neighborly. I hope you got some free play from all that shade. You're boring me, "dude". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a few things to note, in an effort to cut the bs: - Not all providers have clear/accesible cancellation policies. Some don’t even have a website for gods sake. Yet the expectation seems to be that clients adhere to these policies consistently. - Not all providers are impacted the same with NCNS. I assume if you are low volume and only see 1 person a day and he NCNS then you are losing 100% of your income vs a provider that has several sessions per day and may only lose 20-25% of the income that day. I would expect a cancellation policy should take that into consideration. - No offense to anyone, but the people (on both sides) that post on these forums are not a good representation of how the hobby is in real life. Johns are always loving, caring, supportive and they follow instructions so well. Ladies are always on time, responsive, they never book back to back and are always on time. As a client, I’ve lost count on how many times I have been cancelled (only a few times I’ve been NCNS), how many times I’ve waited way pass the scheduled appointment and how many times I’ve encountered a person on the other side just not ‘present’ for that moment that was so important to me. I’m not coming in defense of the hobbit, but I think is unfair to condemn someone for failing to adhere to a policy that was not clearly stipulated when there is absolutely no consistency across the broader population of providers. Aaaand, crickets? Shocking! Assuming your third bullet point is tongue in cheek, clearly the problem here is that, going well above and beyond common respect, thirsty ass hobbyists set girlfriend/wife/lover expectations for providers, who feel entitled to the hard-earned dollars we choose to "donate" toward their living expenses in exchange for our desire to have their time and companionship. With 99 problems, I choose to keep it real, bitches! Thank you for "not" defending the Hobbit with your wise insight. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s unfortunate, aggravating, definitely impedes on losses vs profits. As someone who participated in the forums often, do you have some ideas on how we should handle this disturbing trend? I’m being serious, and am often to reviewing other options. On 9/16/2021 at 5:05 PM, Audrey Astor said: I can totally understand your point, and can appreciate your position.

I dont think there is a one size fits all answer. Providers who have been burned excessively (a subjective measurement) will be understabably inclined to ask for deposits. Customers who are not in favor of deposits - for what ever the reason - will steer clear of those providers. Providers who request deposits may miss out on some great clients, but they also seem to do better at avoiding the goofballs. Clients who skip providers that require deposits may miss out on some great experiences, but they reduce the risk of having their deposit stolen (that risk is minimized by sticking with well reviewed providers). Everyone operates within their own level of risk tolerance. No simple answers. Do what is right for you and respect those who operate differently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree…I’ve been well reviewed and I’ve been around for awhile. I changed my screening requirements after moving back to CO due to the severe NCNS I’ve had. It seems things have changed dramatically since my return. If people who request a visit would actually show up then I’d probably waive my THD all together. I do waive it after I’ve seen a person a few times…please restore my faith in Colorado TOB gentlemen 🙏🏼 Edited September 18, 2021 by HeavenlyBellaCO 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2021 I guess I’m stunned by all this conversation about ncns and canceling just before the visit. I did not think the guys on here did a lot of this. Looks like i am wrong! Make the appointment…………. KEEP the appointment. It is so simple! Commit! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2021 I have never ever ncns! Not once. Also, I’ve never canceled or rescheduled within less than 48 hours, either. On the other hand, I’ve certainly screened, corresponded, proposed a time and place and never heard back more often than I can remember. That has never made much sense to me. Happily, it’s become pretty rare though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
