Greetings

I am curious as to what the brethern here feels is a reasonable grace period in waiting to get a buzz code or hotel room number when going to visit a SP at an incall.

I personally have a 5 minute policy and if I don't get the buzz code or room number within 5 minutes of texting to say I was at the location, I leave. As a result of this the last 3 of 4 SPs I've booked an appointment with, I've left. Is this a reasonable thing to do?

Absolutely! Many girls to choose from in this great city so 5mins is very reasonable...

If Im there at the agreed upon time...she has 5 minutes
If Im early...she gets until the agreed upon time +5

I get to an appointment usually 5-10 minutes prior to the appointment time, usually wait very close by. I text 5 minutes prior to the appointment time letting them know I am there, if the SP does not reply back within 5 minutes after the start time of the appointment with room information then I am not waiting any longer. So within 5 minutes of the appointment time is my limit.
I use to be more courteous and wait up to 15 minutes but not anymore 5 minutes max if no response with room number to go up, then I am out, this is due to some SP's being either really unorganized or just not giving a shit about clients time. Simply rule all hobbyist should have if an SP does not value your time, do not waste your time on her when there so many other great SP and agencies to pick from.

I also get that sometimes things happen but how hard is it to give notice ahead of time if the SP is running late?
 
I used to wait longer, it got tired of it.
I was early yesterday for my 8:00, waited until 3 minutes before time to text.
At 8:01 she texts Hold On. (I woulda left at 8:06)
She texted room number at 8:04
She did not extend the time, I was out at 8:59.

Yeah it would have been nice if she gave you the full 60 minutes.

I probably end up waiting longer than 5 minutes but that's because I usually am a bit early. But between 5 to 10 minutes past the time of appointment I start thinking of leaving. If I don't hear anything back I am gone.
 
I give her 5-10 minutes max. At which point I will text her and say

"as you can see, I arrived on time and waited 10 minutes for buzz in code. I will assume that you are no longer interested in seeing me. Thank you for wasting my time and that you could not do me the courtesy of texting me to cancel. rest assured that I would have never heard the end of it had I been late or a no show without texting you to let you know"

I've had to send this text message about a half dozen times in the last 10 years or so
 
I only do outcalls. And they arrive anywhere from on time to an hour late. Only a handful of times do they arrive early. I'd say on average around 15 minutes late which is fine as driving can be hit and miss with traffic.

Also, an outcall delay isn't an issue anyway since I'm chilling at home or a hotel. If she cancels, who cares. But I can see someone doing an incall being aggravated at a delay or cancellation. You go out of your way to drive and park and are left hanging.

For incalls, the range should be shorter as there is no traffic/distance to consider. It really comes down to whether the previous client takes extra time or the SP/agency books client sessions too close together leaving little/no buffer time in between.

I'd say 15 minutes is fine for incall. I'd bail after that. For outcall, common courtesy call should always be done. But I'd say 1 hour tops.

One thing that never crossed my mind since I do outcalls..... what is the typical buffer time in between incall sessions? Half hour? It's not like meeting an SP is "at 9:10 pm". It's always at the top or half of the hour. I don't think people book sessions back to back to back at 9 pm, 10 pm, 11 pm. Or do they? That leaves no time in between and it becomes a revolving door??????

Great response. You've definitely highlighted a double standard which exists. How many ladies will come on here or Twitter and whine about late clients (which sucks) but how many of those same ladies will be late and act like it's no big deal and they've done nothing wrong?

I think 10-15min grace period is fine. But are we talking about getting room number or just communication? If you show up and the girl texts you immediately telling you to wait, that's a lot different than showing up and getting radio silence. There really shouldn't be radio silence if it's an agency. With indies, I expect something within 10-15 min or I leave.
 
You guys have very busy lives I guess. If go through all the trouble of booking, making my way to the location, I think it's ridiculous not have a 15 minute grace period. I mean what's 15 minutes really??? It's half a Sienfeld episode. Walk around the block and 15 minutes will pass. You guys are impatient man.

Agree w brother BBL. It will also depend on who...a favoured Indy, an agency with a good track record...I give more latitude. First timer? After around an unexplained 10 mins ( incall) likely onto plan b. Outcall first timer.?..about 15 mins in start looking up a Plan b, start making plans at 30mins.
 
I know many would love 15 mins. But personally I think it should be no more then 5 mins without communication prior. Guys usually are good and when they show, they show 5 mins early. So waiting around for 10 mins, is a heat score. With the criminality now being on the side of clients, I wouldn't as a man, stay longer then that.
 
For me it depends upon whether it's an agency or an independent and whether it is a first visit or a repeat. I'll give an agency 5 minutes to at least respond. What I absolutely hate is when the agency operator says something like "Call back in 5 minutes, Hun" when it's already 5 minutes past the time. Give me a reason, or a time frame. For an independent I expand that to 10-15 minutes (depending upon how badly I want to see the provider). Even if going overtime with the previous client (eg: a late shower) there should be at least a moment within that 10 minutes where an independent can get back to you. If there is total radio silence, I'll usually just send a text saying I was here but no longer interested. If it's a repeat visit, I will usually give a little more latitude because I repeat for a reason. If it goes beyond 15 minutes, then I will think really hard about repeating again.
 
In my day to day job, I provide a service to my clients and there are times where I am not able to provide an answer to someone when they require it. But, and this is a huge but, they accept this or are at least more accepting of the delays because they know the level of commitment I have towards their business. They understand stuff happens. It is all about give and take.

I think the same way with the agencies that I deal with (generally 3 and sometimes 4). I have pretty solid business relationships with them and am known as a very easy going client. They are very accommodating in my appointment requests so when there is a delay I am never upset as all give me notice. A couple will even text me well in advance letting me know that my start time will be delayed 10 or 15 minutes. To me that is the ultimate in service. I value my time as much as the next person but when a service is being provided between two individuals everything cannot always be perfect. We live in a society where waiting is the norm for many things, why is this industry any different, unless you are time bound because of a significant other. I guess that is why I limit my experiences to a few reputable agencies. I have had bad experiences in the past with agencies and indies alike but nowadays never have any issues with those I deal with.
 
Had an appointment, years ago. Arrived 10 minutes early, and called (she didn't text). No answer.
Called again at the appointment time. No answer.
Called at 5 after. No answer.
She called me at 15 past, asked where I was. Told her that I'd called three times, and she hadn't answered.
She threw me out 15 minutes early, told me she had another appointment.
I haven't gone back.
 
If they are late, I just sit in the lobby, browse imgur, and wait for the room number. It is not like I have anything better to do.

This. Quite easy for the girl to run 10-15 minutes behind, especially if she's indie.
 
A grace period of 5-10 mins is reasonable for me. I'm already there, a couple of mins aren't going to repel me.

If I book for an hour and I'm the one that is 10-15 minutes late due to some unforeseen circumstance, than that's on me. I will incur the 10-15 minute penalty and enjoy the remaining minutes. But I recently had a session where the SP didn't give me buzzer/room # 8-10 mins after the agreed upon time, which is, like I said, not a problem. My problem is that she didn't give me the courtesy of extending the session for those lost minutes. Now I could have made my case and fought for those 8-10 mins she owed me, but that would have been awkward as fuck and those extended minutes would've been lousy anyways. Taking my business elsewhere is the only logical conclusion.
