Stand By Fares

[+ Lucky]

In looking at an escort's website, among all of the rules and regulations he establishes for seeing him is an offer that I have never seen before. He says that if you book him as a stand-by appointment, then, if his original client cancels, he will see you for a reduced fee. This is rather unique, is it not?

I just love a escort that has rules & regulations. The way I look at it if he wants to pencil me in "FUCK HIM" reduced rate or not. What happens if it's late and he does see you then, what pickings you going to have then. I wonder if I can put him on "STAND-BY" till I see if the escort I want to see is available or not, I don't think he would go for that.

 

When in doubt I whip it out:+

Assuming you don't mind a client response, that's an interesting idea from a marketing standpoint for most businesses I'd think, but personally I wouldn't like to be a stand-by client much either with regards to escorting. For one thing, it's fairly unlikely a client will cancel, and even if so, though it's at a reduced rate, I'd just feel...I dunno...like second choice. I know that's a pretty illogical feeling being it's escorting, and maybe it's because I like to treat escort experiences like a date, but that would sorta ruin the mood for me. I *might* do something like this if the discount was substantial and the stand-by was fairly casual and for an appointment I'd previously requested (ie. "I'm sorry - I have an appointment then, but if for some reason I find I'm free, sure I'd like to see you."), but I doubt it.

[theDCeBOY]

leave me the fuck alone

[theDCeBOY]

clearly you fall in the asinine category as well.

 

the reason behind the stand-by offer...

sometimes several people will inquire about the same time. the first one to confirm gets the appointment. but, folks can & do cancel at the last minute. so, if someone wants to "stand-by" for the time, i will discount the fee if the first person flakes. i've got something to fall back on in case of a cancellation, and the person who stood-by gets a discount in exchange for being flexible. we both win.

 

 

if you don't like it, or any of my policies, DON'T FUCKING CONTACT ME!

lucky, how about you drop your rabid anti-Semitic hatred of me? trust me, this time, you won't chase me away.

nobody is forced into it. if a particular time is already taken, i'm just offering someone the option.

would you like to cite evidence for that? do a search on this website; you'll find ample discussion of last minute cancellations. rick even started a thread requesting that when clients do so, they give either a) more honest reasons, or b) at least more creative explanations.

>I'd just feel...I

>dunno...like second choice.

why? you're getting the time you originally wanted--which was already taken--at a discounted rate. but, if you don't feel comfortable, don't freaking do it! nobody is forcing anyone into it. i'm at least being HONEST and saying that the time is taken. i COULD just say that i have dinner plans right then & squeeze you in right after the appointment--at full price. how would you feel then?

>I know that's a pretty illogical

YOU?!?!?!?!illogical or paranoid? you're KIDDING!

>(ie. "I'm

>sorry - I have an appointment then, but if for some reason I

>find I'm free, sure I'd like to see you.")

yeah, that's precisely what this is.

I thought so too but not a bad policy. I'd book a standby on genreally principles if I was in the mood. i woudn't get broadway muscial tickets based on standby but an hour roll in the hay with a big dick that bottoms... why not.

[Trixie]

I must agree with you, Guptasa. When it comes to booking an escort, who wants to wait around to see if they might be squeezed in, discount or no?

If some escort called me at 9:00 PM, saying, "Hey, my Eleven O'clock cancelled, how 'bout it, baby?" I'd have to say no. For many reasons, not the least of which being that I just can't fix my face that quickly!

[theDCeBOY]

then don't elect that option!

it REALLY is that motherfucking easy. if you don't fucking like it, don't fucking do it.

[guptasa1]

Oh I realize that it's just an option - I was just commenting on my thoughts. I had no idea whatsoever he was referring to you or your practices, and I have no problem at all with the policy - it was just my opinion, and I meant absolutely NO offense whatsoever by it. I apologize if any offense at ALL was taken.

Shoulda clarified here. I realize clients cancel a fair amount, and I did read the thread you refer to. I guess I just meant that when I book an escort, it's something I generally want to count on happening at the set-up time, so the chance of booking any individual standby appointment and having it happen is probably fairly small. I don't have any evidence so to speak, and it was more of an individual statement. I suppose if I lived in a city with more opportunities to see escorts and it wasn't a fairly rare thing for me, this might be more appealing as a more spontaneous surprise, but being able to only see escorts with some travel and planning involved, I guess I'm only comfortable with more certain or at least likely arrangements. Again, this is more of an individual thing in my case.

Again, just my own opinion on it. I understand it doesn't make any sense logically to feel that way, and I also appreciate the honesty on your part - it's not a bad option and as stated quite unique - I was just saying I might not do it and commenting. It's just...that feeling would still be there for me. If it was casually done, I might indeed try it, but for some reason, "My previous appointment cancelled, so I'm free to see you," is just a turn off to me. You do have a point though - the time you wanted at a discount certainly is a good thing.

 

>>I know that's a pretty illogical

I freely admit I'm a little of both in certain situations. LOL.

 

>>(ie. "I'm

>>sorry - I have an appointment then, but if for some reason I

>>find I'm free, sure I'd like to see you.")

>

>yeah, that's precisely what this is.

 

I guess for me it would all come down to wording and tact. I wouldn't want to do it if I felt like second choice, but if I was made to feel like I had good fortune instead ("I'm free" instead of "I had a cancellation"), I might do it. It's weird, I know, but I'm just being honest here. This probably wouldn't even be an issue with most people.

 

I know I've said this, but again, my apologies if you took any personal offense at all, as I meant none.

[theDCeBOY]

>I know I've said this, but again, my apologies if you took any

>personal offense at all, as I meant none.

i'm sure YOU didn't mean any personal offence. lucky, however, most pointedly DID intend offence.

 

oh, by the way, those of you who are enjoying fucking with my calendar & therefore fucking with my ability to earn money (like BoN posting repeating events with just "tick tick tick" and the latest repeating event of a request for "igor") might want to think about how you'd like it if someone prevented you from earning the money you use to pay rent & buy food.

[Guest Yog-Sothoth]

>if you don't like it, or any of my policies,

 

I thought it was an interesting "policy" to point out as I had never heard this before with an escort. I suspect others had not as well.

 

>DON'T FUCKING CONTACT ME!

 

I had no idea who he was referring to until you yourself posted. I wonder how many others did not know either.

 

>lucky, how about you drop your rabid anti-Semitic hatred of

>me? trust me, this time, you won't chase me away.

 

Nor that you were Jewish. Are you ethically or religiously or both?

[theDCeBOY]

did you mean ethnically?

[+ Lucky]

Did not. Did not.! You weren't even named, bungbutt. If I wanted to be mean, I would have pointed out the absurdity of offering a stand by choice because your calendar shows you only have two appointments all month anyway. As if anyone is going to need a standby appointment!

[Bilbo]

Clients put escorts on "stand-by" all the time, just not as openly and honestly. "Let me call you back in five minutes, I need to check my schedule."

[theDCeBOY]

good point, bilbo.

the next time i hear that, if the guy calls me back, i suppose i'll have to ask for a fee increase. }(

[theDCeBOY]

fuck with my calendar again & not only will i block your access to it, but i'll also notify your ISP.

you are, however, quite correct... by the 3rd day of the month, only two people have requested advance appointments so far. actually 4 people did, but 2 were removed because of changed plans. appointments made via telephone don't appear on my calendar, nor do those made by email.

the question remains: since you clearly do not like me, and since i'm Jewish & you're a rabid anti-Semite, why are you visiting my website anyway?

[Bilbo]

This kind of a policy does seem to be new on an in-town basis, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it catches on. But it's been fairly standard practice as far as I can tell when an escort is touring. Today's Devon's Diary (Monday, Dec. 3) is about that, as a matter of fact. So there is a precedent.

[theDCeBOY]

i think i got the idea from talvin. (my apologies if it was elsewhere.)

of course, i have less demand than he does, so the instances of someone requesting to stand by will be less.

nonetheless, i will continue to offer it. if people don't like it, they shouldn't elect to take advantage of it.

this whole thread was started by someone who doesn't like me in an effort to hurt my business. that's sad & pathetic really, especially since he has already attempted (along with BewareofNick) to sabotage my website.

[+ Lucky]

I laughed at your calendar but I did not fuc with it. And who says I can't stand you? I have never said that. You're the one hurling "anti-semite" around everytime someone doesn't agree with you.

[theDCeBOY]

yeah... i suppose it is just a coincidence that you & the brownshirts start attacking me here and at the same time BoN & others start abusing my website.

[axebahia]

>yeah... i suppose it is just a

Wait, there must be a mistake. I thought the conspiracy was to target Oren's web site?

>Did you mean ethnically?

 

Whoops. I was thinking about philosophy.

 

Yes, I did.

 

Nu?

[theDCeBOY]

i'm guessing that you're asking if i was born a Jew. yes, i was. my mother was Jewish. while not strictly observant, i am also religiously Jewish.

[VaHawk]

Well said, and I would have to agree with your comments. I wouldn't want to do the standby routine, if I was booking in advance with a specific agenda in mind, as that wouldn't work. However, if I called/contacted an escort within 24 hours of wanting to see him at an appointed hour and he was already booked, then I think this is a good policy for both parties involved. In these situations, I'm not planning anything else, so if it happens great, and if not, I really haven't lost anything.

 

I'm assuming that an escort offering this is aware that the standby client may not still be standing by, in which case, he has also not lost anything. I like this offer, and it is certainly one that I have never seen before. Seems like a win/win for all parties involved.
