Not to long ago, a lady posted about Austin being the Cancellation/No Show Capitol. In talking with some of my lady friends, there seems to be an uptick on such behavior.
Guys, I know it happens to us too, but I am curious as to the reason guys might do this. I probably can't come up with every reason, but I have come up with 5 possible reasons.
Vote for more than one catagory. Poll is private, so feel free to be honest with your answer.
I cancelled once on an indie visiting for first time because of 3 pd cars in front of the hotel and tm that I was not going to take a chance ... got branded a time waster
If I have to cancel it’s because something beyond my control come up with family or work. I try to do my research before booking.
BTW, I don’t call leaving because pics were deceiving or fake a NCNS or cancellation. I call it not supporting fraud. js
@ OP, good thread topic Bro.
I also don’t consider anything unsafe cancelling. My car isn’t that nice, so if I’m worried about parking, I keep going. If I see too many sketchy people in the parking lot. If I see a pimp mistreating her in the parking lot (happened recently).
It's rare that I cancel. In fact, it's only happened two times in the past 10 years that I can think of. I simply don't schedule unless I plan to go in. The first time was due to being involved in an accident and I contacted the lady as soon as possible and canceled (before the scheduled time). She asked me to send a pic, which I did. The second time was also car troubles … again, beyond my control. I hate it when it happens to me so I don't do it to you, unless it is beyond my control. I also bust my ass to be on time and absolutely hate waiting in a parking lot while said provider "needs another 5 min" … which usually turns into 15+ min. After 15 min. … I'm gone! If I can be on time, you can too. Put your damn phone down, stop what you are doing and get ready because I'm on my way.
I start drinking then meh
Usually don't, had my first "cancellation" EVER recently during the screening phase for an outcall. Couldnt be helped, so I explained as best I could and offered to rescheduled. got "pay my cancellation fee or I'm gonna "have to" list it as a NCNS". So yeah, still try not to, but pretty much any reason I deem necessary now.
I'll pay a cancellation fee when they start paying a late fee. ;-)
I think you need to add “nerves” or “chickened out”. I think a lot of newbies do that.
Good point. Totally forgot about that possibility. Been a while since this old guy has been a Newbie, but I can see that happening.Quote:

I'd get the jitters prior to an appointment when I first started out in the hobby, but I figured the only way to get over them was to push through them. Backing out of a deal just wouldn't sit well with me — I'd feel too guilty. The bottom line is that I'd hate for someone to cancel on me without good reason, so I don't do it to anyone else.Quote:
