Timewasters!
#1
This is just a rant, sorry. 

Since I've moved to Hampshire I've had so many issues with timewasters. I've been escorting in Bath for a year and never really had many issues, everything ran smoothly and I earned what I needed to support myself through university. 
Now it's the summer and I've moved home and need cash whilst searching for a good grad job. But since I've come here, whilst there's been more interest, twice as many emails and people trying arrange a meet but I've had so many people that just don't follow through with their agreements. 
Only today, I went all the way to Basingstoke, had a 2 hour booking arranged and went to the address he specified, once I got there he stopped responding and when I knocked on the door there was a youngish (late 20's) woman that opened the door and obviously was wondering what I was doing knocking on her door. I also had another meet planned afterwards, and he gave me a time and a place to meet him, he says he's almost there and then nothing for 30 minutes. He'd been texting me and pestering me for a meet ALL day. I ended up just going home because I was tired and hungry, having wasted money and earning absolutely zilch when I had been expecting to go home with around £400. Obviously I am no longer going to make the mistake of not requesting an online booking through AW but that still won't stop them from not turning up. Even webcam bookings, I always accept them and they never confirm them. Haven't actually worked a single job and I've been here for a MONTH. :/

Time wasters are an absolute drain on everyone in the industry, sorry to hear this has been happening to you.

I'd definitely recommend you start taking deposits which will help weed out the time wasters and give you more time to be on direct cam.

You need to be verifying that the person is at the address, before you set off.

I would have thought that everyone checks the client's address before even preparing for a meeting: Google maps and street view, 192 verification if possible etc

I am not an escort but occasionally offer shopping dates. Even for these i take a deposit. Why spend time and money travelling, preparing, and potentially losing out on money from other clients, without some sort of commitment on their part that they're going to show up x

This is a nightmare scenario and regret one that looks like it is becoming more common. From this side of the fence, I always like to speak with the WG prior to a appointment so that both parties know they are dealing with a real and genuine person. The first thing I look at is feedback and this tells a great deal - more so than the profile itself, no matter how good the photos and the words. Sadly, there are still "men" out there who get a kick out of being a no-show and these "men" give us genuine guys a bad name. I have a situation at the moment where I have spoken with a WG I want to see last week, I have sent her a booking, and still she has not either confirmed her booking or even sent me an address or postcode. Given that the appointment is for tomorrow at 13.30hrs, it looks like I am to be stood up and npt have my appointment after all - also very annoying.
Back to the original subject though, thank-fully, most WGs can see through the timewasters and sort out the men from the boys, but it is certainly a problem to which there is no blanket response.

Sorry scarlet what you went through It's better if you ask for a deposit beforehand ( what most escorts do that )   I met with many escorts and they always mention that even if they make a booking on adult work there is always a chance.

I've been doing escorting since late 2017
what I have learned from it...

1. I don't go to flats or home ( Only to Hotels )

2. if the client asking for outcall services ( i get his name & room number ) then call the hotel and confirm it by requesting a call to be transferred to the clients room )
( 100% your time won't be wasted !)
3. if you travel Far 100% ask 50% Deposit if not you will be in a High Risk )


a few experiences I had
So far no one has wasted my time ( outcall )
a few clients tried to trick me by giving me fake room numbers and hotels as I don't travel unless I confirm with the hotel!
IT happened quite a few times that's ridiculous
