Its unfortunate it happened. Sad to say, its not all that uncommon in the hobby. I too live about 75-90 minutes drive away from the city where the providers in our area operate. Had so many cancel after I'd driven up to the city, I now make it part of my "routine" to PM/Text before I start the drive. If no response.. I don't start driving. Had a few providers contact me 10 minutes before the appointment saying.. "Are you ready"? I reply to them, since they didn't answer me, I didn't start driving and did they want to reschedule for 90 minutes later since it will take that long to drive up there... or I tell them we'll simply try again .. and move on.

And "move on" usually means.. I have the free time and the cash in my pocket so I contact another lady and see her so she gets the money the original just missed out on.

I think the best compensation for a lady to give for a cancelation is extra time. There is true value to the hobbyist and the cost to the lady is less because of the concept of fixed cost. A lady must spend time getting ready for the session and that time is the same for an hour or a three hour session so it is a fixed cost of the session. Adding time only costs her the extra time not the cost of preparing.

I have had ladies cancel (not talking NC/NS). Almost always when I reach out to them they reply, and almost always say they will make it up. Often extra time, but the nicest and most appriciated ones were often more creative and personalized. Never something I would put in a review because it is most certainly YMMV. Part of it goes to the quality of the lady herself--not as an escort but as a person, and I have found that as a group the ladies here are more generous, more giving, and more caring than the average person on the street. Maybe it is how I select the ladies I choose to meet, maybe I have just been fortunate, but I doubt those two explain it. I think it is the class of ladies themselves.

My question remains ... and while many here have offered thoughts and opinions, you've offered ONLY "get over it," saying I wasn't really inconvenienced. I was, though! I'd driven a good distance and had taken time from my day ... only to be blown off. I've NEVER done that to a lady ... on ASPD, TER, P411 or here!!! If expressing that frustration makes me butt-hurt ... then ... I'm guilty, as charged. I've got nothing else to say to contributors like yourself. For those who took the time to respond maturely ... even if I didn't agree with your sentiments ... thank you!!!

Yes, you are butt hurt and showing all the ladies your true colors, and you are welcome.
