At the Spa I go to, if I want to see a woman I've never seen before & say so, they always say the euphemism, "We only book 1/2 an hour if you haven't see a woman just in case you don't like her".

Uh huh. This really means, "You might be a smelly disgusting pig and 1/2 hour is all the woman might be able to stand before she needs to leave". How could they not love me?
