I will probably regret this

[instudiocity]

No, just on the last page, Sister.

 

Who knows who'll have the last word? Maybe you? Hopefully Tristan promising not to ever check his emails/texts while on an appointment with a client...

You do realize, of course, that you can edit your profile to allow as many posts on a web page as you like. I've, personally chosen 40 post per web page, so that I don't have to keep reloading web pages as I dig through multi-post threads.

 

Your repetition(s) in my case appeared together on the same web page and, frankly, looked like a mistake. Here at the Message-Forum, you don't pay to post, nor does repeating yourself buy anymore real estate (screen estate) than the first post. It's just repetitive for the sake of being repetitive.

 

It's interesting that you think it's important that your posts appear on the most recent posts page of a thread. If someone where to choose 5 posts per page, you'd be very busy reposting constantly and NEVER saying anything new, wise or whimsical.

Just like my sister....

[quote=Okliehomo;858091... a new dog, a new partner, a new phone...That can be SUPER stressful...

 

There's a lot of unemployed people out there, he'd better be grateful he's still making a living of escorting. Would a new dog, partner or phone make your life difficult? No to me, I'll just adapt. Dealing with those 3 things is not "rocket science" for God's sake.

 

He does the VERY best that he can to make you ALL happy... and if you expect him to show up every single time he books an appointment Yes I do is that too much too ask in a country with so many guys under 30 underemployed or without a job? I hope not. I wonder if he'd be able to keep up with a 9-5 job? (or 3... or 4)... well, you just need to remember that there is always a really, really good reason that he didn't. And usually, that reason is something YOU did wrong. So, before you jump to blaming our reigning Escort of the Year .... please take a moment and really dig deep and ask yourself what YOU could have done differently to have prevented him from making him flake on you. Please, just do that. Because you know deep down, it is YOUR fault.

 

I've told some of the interns in my office not to check their iphone while on a meeting and to do it later, when they are by themselves. I'm sorry but when I hire an escort I don't want to feel like I'm walking on egg shells because it looks there's a lot of sensitive people out there

Wow, and I agreed with you about Tristan... yet you are coming up with all this drama.

 

Talking about making a storm on a glass of water. Please stop projecting on me, girl.

[TruthBTold]

how dare you??? He is fucking escort of the year.

 

And this flakiness you allege... Well.... It has quite obviously just come out of nowhere... A new dog, a new partner, a new phone...that can be super stressful...

So, give the guy a break. I beg you... And if you don't, i am pretty sure that he will tell "every escort and every porn star that he ever meets all about you" and your misdeeds against him... Like giving his very pretty ass every chance to show the fuck up.

 

Seriously, what do you guys expect? A professional? Well, that's on you then.

 

Okie

 

ps.... My cat is fine.... So far.

 

lol

[MalcomXpark]

Um, if he no shows, other than remaining ram-rod-hard, how did he take advantage? It is he who did not collect a fee....

 

Business men are usually busy and we don't have time to make plans with another escort if one of them flakes.

 

You are a little too sensitive on this, I guess I should have said to be fooled not to offend you.

 

Wow I wonder your reaction if I had actually disagreed with you about Tristan?

I understand about beating this dead horse.. and rather than beating up on Tristan, I just accept that he has a tendency to be unreliable. It is what it is. If a client wants to book him and is in a tight time frame, then the client should have a "Plan B" in place. I think the reason some people keep posting on the issue is that Tristan is the EOY, a hot, hot man and appears to

have everything going for him. I think people genuinely want him to succeed, myself included, but it's frustrating when the no-show reviews post. IMHO

Well I think CB summed all of this up nicely. Short and to the point. I agree with his assessment of the situation regarding Tristan. I like Tristan, always have, always will. To me he is just one sexy MF. So should he come my way, I will hire him without hesitation. Before everyone gets their panties in a little wad, I know what you are thinking, "What if he is a no show"...Oh dear God, "what if".....well guess what, I am a very resourceful guy and I think that I will be able to find something to do for the evening...or plan B as CB mentions

 

I will always be in Tristan's corner, but that's just me, so for those who want to continue "beating that dead horse" I will gladly pass the baton...for me, I'm not running this race anymore, it's time to get on with my day.

yes, he's gorgeous and I'm sure he's successful as an escort, but he has other things going on and escorting is just one more way he makes a living.

 

I'd rather hiring someone reliable, but that's just me.

I guess you now have the last word.

 

Please, let's close this thread and everyone who wants to hire Tristan please have a plan B and I'm not talking about the pill.

This post isn't really about Tristan specifically- just no show situations in general. You make it sound like changing plans is as easy as falling off a log. That's not always the case. For example- three or four years ago I was in NYC. I was only going to be there for one night, and it happened to be my birthday. My 49th to be specific. I had wanted the night to be special, so I hired someone- fairly well reviewed here on Daddy's. I had gotten tickets for A Little Night Music. I knew it wouldn't be my favorite show to see, but I thought- I almost never get to NYC- this might be my only chance to see Angela Lansbury before she dies- not to mention the chance to see Catherine Zeta-Jones. So I think because of when I arrived we didn't have time to meet for dinner. We met at the theater. I get there 1st. He arrives a bit later- he looks great. I'm really excited anticipating being in the presence of an extremely handsome guy-celebrating my birthday- seeing a show- and then later back at the hotel getting to 'know him' in the biblical sense.

 

So when we meet at the theater, he mentions something about his stomach hurting but says he thinks its nothing- it will pass. We get to the intermission. He says his stomach hurts badly, and he needs to leave. Now to his credit he didn't really ask for payment. But he did ask for cab fare home- which I gave him.

 

I go back into the theater, but I'm upset- I'm not sure whether it was a scam or not- but I decide I can't concentrate on the play and decide to leave. I go back to my hotel- contemplating being alone on my birthday. I scramble to find someone else to maybe come over. I did find another escort. But it was a very close thing. In fact he didn't arrive until 10 or 11 pm. And this was in NYC, the city with the most escorts in the country. If I hadn't been in NYC- I could very easily see not having found someone and having to spend the night alone. So a no show can really mess things up. So sure if you don't mind spending time alone- that is always the ultimate solution. But considering the fact that you were hiring to begin with probably means you didn't want to be alone in the first place. And if you are unlikely to be able to have sex without hiring, then the being alone option is really no option.

I'm sorry this happened to you on your birthday, Gman. The situation you detailed can happen to anyone, even with totally reliable escorts. I, also, understand your point about "changing plans" and the difficulty of doing so given the time you had to spend. My point is that knowing you had only one night, you probably wouldn't have chosen an escort with a history of unreliability.

Fair enough Gman. Your point is well made, and please forgive me if I sounded just a bit unconcerned about everyone else who hires and faces a 'no-show'...Your situation must have been awful, but as CB mentions, your situation could happen to anyone, and my thoughts were directed only with Tristan. My point was that if there is an escort that has reviews that mention no-shows, then it would be best if people concerned about that just pass on that escort altogether.

 

The other part of all of this is that I have flown only once to see an escort in another city, and never ever again. They can come my way or I will not hire. So I never put myself in a situation where I am out of pocket large amounts of money for all my travel and extra expenses. In your case it was almost the same as a no-show, I get that, so the cost can be exorbitant, and making plans and having escorts cancel can easily ruin a weekend. For me it is a different mind set I think. I generally don't take hiring as seriously as I once did, and certainly never count on someone else to have a good time. When I travel, I just roll with the punches, try to remain flexible, and I try to keep all of this in perspective.

[+ Gar1eth]

I appreciate all the replies to my last post. Just as an FYI- the guy I chose has always been reliable in his reviews. Since that time, I've come to believe he really was ill. It was just bad luck. Come to think of it- I had another escort claim illness years before- but that was a day or two before we were supposed to meet. I lost out on his plane tickets- but I think that was it. In that case, I knew his real name and I checked the hospital and he had admitted himself. He claimed food poisoning. I can't remember who- someone either escort or some Forum member told me years later- he wouldn't have been surprised if it were drugs.

 

But one other point I want to make in this thread- there are those of us on this Forum who hire pretty much because they can afford to- but it's kind of a lark for them. Maybe it's easier than expending energy to find a date- or they like how attractive most escorts are, or the thrill of hiring , or something. But for others due to whatever circumstances- they hire because its their only avenue for sex. I'm sure people know where I fall on the scale between these two extremes. So I just want to ask if maybe people in the 1st group could keep that in mind when subjects like this occur. If your hiring falls in the continuum surrounding the first group- well a no show is more of a minor disappointment. If a no show occurs for someone who exists more in the vicinity of the second group- a no show can be a lot more damaging.

You are absolutely correct Gman, and in hindsight my post probably seemed a little insensitive. Going forward, I will try to keep in mind everyones specific circumstances.

A no-show is damaging no matter whether you are in the first or second group. But thats my view and others may disagree.
