Question. There is a well known site where working guys can blacklist clients for various reasons so that other escorts can be warned. This site doesn't allow many types of warnings, but is there another site that does? It wouldn't have to have a community or forums or anything like that, just a simple site where clients who had been burned could report flaky escorts. Nothing would prevent abuse, but that's the beauty of the review system - kind of like Amazon, you can judge how real something is by the number and type of ratings. Again, this is Daddy's site and we are guests so he can do as he likes and probably has great reasons for doing so, but this is something that a lot of people believe has value, so is there another place where this information is available?

What happened to Nate Bruno's reply to the thread. It appeared yesterday shortly after Purple Cow's reply. It was well said and made a good point.

 

Thanks markpaul, but when I thought more about it I deleted it. One of my motivations was to clarify that the said escort was not me, since it appears this happened in San Francisco. But the more I thought about it that just seemed self-serving, and suggesting that the escort be named could be considered competitive and self-serving. So delete - maybe I think too much about these things!

 

But this is the problem with these blind items - they implicate and cast doubt on everybody who might fit the description. Otherwise I don't have a dog in this fight.

There's obviously some value to knowing when an escort is a flake prior to wasting time and money on them, and the same applies to clients. Escorts are aware of this and that's why multiple sites exist which, for a fee, allow escorts to blacklist clients who are time wasters and don't show up. Saying that that's the nature of the beast keeps us from having the same protection against flakes that escorts enjoy with us. Spending a lot of money to fly somewhere or have someone travel only to have it wasted is not a laughing manner, and for people living in the hinterlands that is the only option. So back to the question I asked, is there a service for clients that allow us to view/submit escorts that are flakes? I guess there isn't since the potential customer base would be small, but it sure seems like a potential business opportunity.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems the solution to the recently raised issues here is for a client to post a thread in which he states his experience and names the escort in particular. This is not a review - I agree that if a session didn't take place, then there is nothing to review. But what the OP has stated at the outset is a news item that we would all benefit from reading. As it stands right now (and as correctly noted earlier) is that each working guy is a suspect and that kind of thinking isn't good for anyone. As far as taking the heat from the guilty escort's fans, c'mon, men, grow a pair. . . And as far as attacking a poster for what he has posted - you guys need to respect what another has posted in all fairness and honesty. When I was interested in hiring, I also wanted as much background information as I could get. I made decisions based on published reviews and threads that I found here.

Daddys' rule about no show reviews is logical. How can you review a restaurant you did not actually EAT at or a hotel you did not actually STAY at? http://www.m4rn.com/190508/MAGICMIKEY THAT SITE I JUST POSTED MY LINK TO DOES ALLOW FOR NO SHOW REVIEWS however. I personally try to always show up but there have been a couple times when things came up which made it impossible. Those couple situations that happened to me made me RELAX my attitude about clients who cancel on me. A wise old mentor of mine once said, "Shit happens."

Also, I think that the OP has made a decision not to name the escort and probably wisely so. Though I am sure that there are both some clients and fellow escorts who are chomping at the bit to find out who this well reviewed individual indeed is. Such "drama" is not at all necessary...

 

One quick comment for the one who calls himself "whipped guy":

 

The unnecessary drama is created by those who bring the subject of the so-called "well-reviewed" escort without naming names. Man, put up or shut up!

Frankly, I couldn't care less who that escort is. I've passed the age to worry about such things. Moreover, I have no dog in this fight either.

 

To spell it out: you're a anonymous figure here, as anonymous as a moniker can be. Only escorts are semi-public figures. Stop complaining about someone attacking you all the time. Daddy is nice enough to give you the privilege of posting under multiple identities and people are taking advantage of it everyday. Unlike escorts, it's easy for you to get a fresh start and resume your stalking. Many use a second/third secret identity, not to "sully" their main persona. But at the end, you're just a moniker here. Man up!

I agree with everything above. So, this is our bottom-line question, and I don't know the answer:

 

I hire an escort from out-of-town and pay for a ticket. He doesn't show up, and my attempts at contact are refused. I come to the Forum and post his name and what happened. Does Daddy allow the post to stay up or does he take it down? I'm not clear on that. My uncertain understanding is it will be taken down and I could possibly be banned from posting temporarily or permanently. What exactly are the rules? Have I got this right or wrong?

 

At this point, I'm not advocating anything. I'm simply asking for clarity.

There is ample precedent for "comments" rather than "reviews" regarding no shows, lack of contact, rudeness, etc. and the naming of the escort in question. Take, for instance, Thanos (now Tom), who is notorious for not returning calls, etc. Why should we, as clients trying to avail ourselves of services advertised, be the ones who have to chase after someone who says he is available to provide those services.

 

It is one thing to simply be rude and not return calls; that escort will eventually be tossed out with the bath water. it is another to go ahead and book an appointment and keep a client on the hook. I certainly would want to know who it is so I don't waste my time. For some of us, TIME is the issue and when we have spent money, arranged our schedules and are left high and dry, it's very disappointing.

 

At the very minimum, the OP should PM ANYONE who wants to know who the culprit is. If made public, then the escort as well has the opportunity to reply if he is a forum member.

In my humble opinion, I would want to be aware an escort's reputation of how he conducts his business. This would include ease of communication and following through with appointments. Emergencies do come up in life and can necessitate a last minute cancelation, however, a no call/no show is extremely poor form.

Steven, you've lost me on your last post here - I can't find "whipped guy" in this thread. Was there a deletion that I just didn't see?
The reason that you can't find "whipped guy" in this thread is due to the fact that "whipped guy" never posted in this thread. I am just as perplexed and as "lost" as you are regarding the bizarre posting...

 

Im submitting a bad review for steven draker because he didn't send me a christmas card this year! We are fighhhhhhhhhhhting!

 

:-(....

Well, Tristan I never sent you a Christmas card either... and you are the last person with whom I would want to have a fight... but then again on second thought a bit of a rumble might be fun... Do have a Merry! ;)

Brilliant!

 

I think there should be a section for no-show escorts, but not for "escorts who cancelled". I'm sure Ryan Rose would a star of the No-show escort's section.

 

may I suggest Daddy to close this thread.

Well, perhaps we should abandon the forum and site entirely and just each take our chances. Eh?

 

Considering the Percentage of Clients that donot follow Daddys..that is just about what the rest of those in "The Wonderful World of The Working Guys"are actually doing anyways! Both HOOBOY & DADDYS Reviews never Guaranteed 100% Success Rates! Anyone ever reading and believeing all usually are in for a shock..Which is what started this Thread!

Baby,

Santa Clause has been delayed with the delivery this year. Haven't you heard of the terrible weather conditions and the unexpected crash in the system?

 

It should be on its way... :)

Steven, Let me help you out...

 

whipped guy said exactly what Steven quoted, on another thread, this one: Striking out yesterday with escorts, it's Post #14

Never mind. He's not worth any attention.

 

Throughout the forum, anytime you see a quote from another post you'll see http://www.companyofmen.org/images/misc/quote_icon.png Originally Posted by (forum member's name) and then a little blue icon with two right arrowheads, you can click on the arrowhead to will see the original post that's being quoted.

 

The only thing left here is why whipped guy​ is perplexed and "lost" and thinks it's bizarre when he did post his comments in a different thread, yet with a very similar topic.

It seems so silly to have to respond and explain... but why were my comments not addressed in that thread where they made a bit more sense in light of that discussion... and why were my comments not quoted in full... and why did SD contradict himself regarding what he posted in that other thread??? Could that be the reason why things were moved? That was perplexing enough! Frankly, what I did find bewildering and the main reason that I felt "lost" was due to the content of Steven's comments which had no basis in reality regarding my activities in the forum much less the original posting and it's context... Let's just assume that someone or something got totally confused and leave it at that. I certainly can make no sense out of it all and have wasted enough time already...

 

Yes... it's Christmas!

How can you review a restaurant you did not actually EAT at or a hotel you did not actually STAY at? "

-

 

 

Your example/question mixes apples with oranges then claims they are the same.

 

Many restaurants and hotels advertise specific foods, hours of operations and reservations. Hotels offer rooms for a specific date and price.

 

If a potential customer makes a reservation for a restaurant or a hotel but the reservation is not honored by the restaurant or hotel, a partial “review” of the shabby treatment associated with such an establishment is unquestionably appropriate.

 

Attempting to separate a breached reservation from an actual meeting that was blocked by the restaurant or hotel is like clapping with one hand. Both parts of the transaction are part and parcel to each other.

 

The above also holds true for escorts and clients. A reservation is a reservation. A confirmation is a confirmation.
