Cancellation fee? Agree or disagree??

Really, there's just no real upside here. You'll just punish yourself.

True, Very True

I don't agree with your statement that the client's time isn't valuable. Many (probably most) of us have driven 20,30, maybe 40 or more minutes to go to a lady's incall only to have her no show. How much money is spent each way in gas on something like that? How much time was lost where you could have been possibly working and earning money during that time? The client's time is just as important and valuable as the lady's time. There should be a mutual respect with sessions. Most of the time there is, but there are always exceptions on both sides.

But i know for a fact that guys dont respect a ladies time way more than the other way around... I dunno because i have never jerked anyone around. But i have been jerked around plenty! My hypothesis for this is that those men simply feel like;

"This isnt a real job and we arent really depending on them and we must get 100 calls a day anyways, so fuck it! She probably has someone over there replacing me right now! lol She's already rolling in Millions... lol"

First I want to say I have not read everything in this thread.

I am on call 24/7 365. sometimes things happen and I get the call for work 15 minutes before I am to be at an appointment and sometimes I can watch it and figure it out a couple hours before. I have had to cancel many appointments on different ladies. some understand and some get offended. If it is a first appointment I understand why the lady gets offended as we have not had the chance to get to know each other and such. I try to make every appointment and keep it by trying to plan around it. sometimes it is out of my control. I will say that even though I have to cancel I am just as disappointed as you are. Remember I have been thinking about having fun with that lady all day. anyway just my .02 and this should never be used to haggle on someones rates. some guys get very creative on how they "haggle" personally I just don't see ladies I cant afford.

Perhaps you are correct, Mya, maybe most guys are disrespectful. I don't know your clientele. I do know that I'm always on time (or I text/call and let them know). I think I've had 4 cancellations, and all were communicated well before the appointment. Three of them were with the same lady!!! (I'm sorry, Italiana Princess-it really was bad luck! 2 were work related, and the other time I came down with bronchitis!)

However, you may want to consider that many of your clients might have a great deal of difficulty meeting, especially if they have significant others that can mess with their schedules.

sometimes stuff happens!
