Why is it when one timewasting idiot rings they jinx my whole day ?
I hate these people and just can’t be bothered sitting around once they start , if I no other calls for a few hours I just give up , always find it’s when some muppet rings I no work .
[title edited for clarity]

I was getting disheartened a couple of weeks ago with the amount of TWs and no shows I was getting. Then I kept thinking to myself why should I give in just because of idiots that have too much time on their hands?
I gave up on Saturday though after having three late cancellations and a no show. Although still got two bookings out of it.so it wasn't a complete waste.
Genuine clients will reappear again. It's just a shame that all the TWs spoil it for everyone.
-
Yeh it does get you , and I deleted my ads a few times on one site but thought same as you
Why should I let the timewasting idiots stop me ? Although on another site I still got another ad on but not removing it as it makes the idiots think they one over me , just have keep plodding on .
-
I'm too having a hard time struggling with the amount of TW's and tw-ts lately. I've never seen anything like this before. They are all coming out of the woodwork. I'm fully aware mental health is down the drain now, Ok I get, I'm anxious and a bit depressed too. All this uncertainty has taken a toll on me but if the pandemic didn;t kill me dealing with the phone these days certainly will.

At the start of this third lockdown on a Sunday I didn't have a number showing at all and I got 30 caIls! I think it's all these boys and men that are usually on the prowl but because of the lockdowns have turned to these sites which is accounting for the increase in calls. A lot of pushy young guys and some very polite ones who you can tell haven't done this before. Dealing with these in addition to the usual chickenshit timewaster collecting addresses and making appointments to waste your time cus they are so bitter about paying for sex is very time consuming and stretches your patience to the limit. You just have to screen them thoroughly.
-
These time wasters are bed blockers !
Uou can only keep motivated and enthusiastic for a certain time ,but when constant wankers are letting you down it gets negative thinking and that's hard to stop .
-
Same. I ask them to text me to confirm their booking an hour beforehand and don't give out a postcode until they've confirmed. I still get no shows but I find the majority of timewasters won't text bavk to confirm as they usually text a few girls and arrange bookings they have no intention of fulfilling and they forget or get distracted with wasting someone else's time. It's not a foolproof system but it does thin it out a bit x

I had onerous conditions for requesting a booking before the vaccine programme started. I normally aim for older sensible clients so it was not much of a hurdle for them. I did see a handful of clients and they were good. This past week or so as people have eased up has seen the number of timewasters or prospective clients I would not accept or ones who are already blocked (I get a message when they call) or ringaround merchants lurch upwards. I've been trying to figure out why. My guess (and it is a guess) is real clients may still be slow as they are out of the habit. Many are married so may still have to navigate a partners sense of safety. The excuses like business travel or visiting the golf club may still not be options. Perhaps timewasters are the ones with nothing to lose or any sense of real committment so they have nothing holding them back?
Time wasters wreck my mental health and undermine positive attitudes to clients. I'm learnign not to care about the timewasters and writing off dud clients much quicker than before. I prefer quality not quantity. I don't owe dud clients or timewasters anything.
-
Totally agree tickle.
Had one who seemed ok, positive feedback, chasing quite a lot, offered to put cash in account but I prefer cash to ensure personal details aren’t given out. Goes on for about a week then total **** ghosted at time of appointment.
Came home and I’d had a week of it and totally broke down. This week still a lot of TW or avoid type (red flag on client eye) but at least one decent who tipped so not everyone is a complete idiot.
-
I only use AW so this may not be helpful to everyone but investing the couple of quid to get detailed emails meaning I can see their content before I log in to AW has always been a big help.
I’ve also set up an auto reply and I’m sure they hate it but I just say it allows me to prioritise my enquiries so I reiterate the main points of my profile and the info I’d like to take their enquiry seriously. Some reply back after reading and confirm they are fine with the points mentioned and give me what I need, some don’t but I find it much easier to write them off more quickly.
I’m under the impression that many think they can book anyone at any time and we should be grateful for it without considering we have other jobs/priorities etc. I get more of this now than I ever did pre-lockdown and if it feels or looks like I’m making it more difficult for them to book, they’d be right. As been mentioned, the good ones make it worth it and I’m much happier knowing I don’t entertain idiots.
-
What I find laughable in this line of work is a client will whinge and moan in my ear for daring to be a big bad awful bitch for making him wait outside my apartment complex for more than a minute. Try being us and getting up at 2am for a 2:30 booking and doing your makeup and taking a shower and putting on lingerie when you’re literally dead tired only for it to get to 2:45 and realise you been hoodwinked.
-
Some of these men live to annoy us or waste our time it's there nasty vindictive side that they feel they can take out on us as we are sitting ducks for there pleasure.
Does not matter what area you work, what you write on your adverts they will still do it.
-
There was a huge surge in TW that my blocked list in my phone is in double figures but they had stopped for a bit until yesterday. I had 4 but knew 3 of them were TW so just said I was busy and blocked them. I only do early morning appts if a deposit is paid as I'm not a morning person so need a guarantee that they will show up.
-
Yea it is really disheartening! It seems really bad right now and it’s horrible getting messed around by people who never even meant to book in the first place. I’m hoping it’ll get better as things open up
-
I had a brief burst of regulars. Other than this nothing but tyre kickers and timewasters. Most of the timewasters are already blocked along with a few prospective clients I declined for one reason or another. I've also had a couple of calls from prospective clients I declined and blocked. Most of the callers I got hadn't read my profile properly or were wanting half hours which I can't get excited about. Other than this nothing. It's the longest draught I've ever experienced. Most of my clients have been from out of town and with travel and hotels and excuses to get away from their wives still a dodgy thing I'm not expecting things to recover until next year.
-
I've seen a huge increase in TW calls too. Energy sucking.
If not sure I halt their flow and tell them to ring in 10-15, 30 minutes. I find mostly genuine ones have the patience to do this.
-
Interesting quick side note:
I went to see my GP this morning for a face to face consulation and instead of your tipical quick 5 min "in and out straight to the point" interview she spent 20 minutes ranting non stop about how the general public's mental health has gone down the drain and she was getting all sorts of time wasters, angry people threatening with nonsense and crazy calls in general. This had hampered her mood (which is at presently a very low point- or so she said) and was trying to figure out how to deal with this new situation so it doesn't burn her out. It seems her "good patients" (aparently I am one of them) were paying for the bad mood caused by incessant time wasters.I've never seen her so angry.
I was not sure if I was at my GP's or reading the saafe forum ::) ::) :D but it made me feel better lol!
-
I really feel like just going home but have paid for the room so will stick it out. Nothing but timewasters & no shows ringing/messaging today. It is very disheartening when you’ve travelled, paid for room, child care, lied to whoever about what your doing today. No I’m not having a good day!! I’m hoping to get them all out the way today & next time I work the tw scum will leave me the fuck alone 🤔
-
That’s a reason I will not ever offer hotel work or outcalls
And that’s the only word for them scum
Last week after doing shit for over a month I had a good week
Come this week every single day cunts on the phone and email so I’ve made fuckall again
Hopefully you will get something whilst you are there .
-
I could of done a couple of regs but I put them off as I just wasn’t in the mood by then, shame they didn’t contact me first instead of later this afternoon! Some days can be so good & straight forward but days like today make you feel like crap & wonder why you bother.
-
Feel for you
Had 2 timewasters as usual message on aw earlier , then someone wanted to see me later in the afternoon and I just couldn’t be arsed , I rather that they if are ( genuine ) ring or message early in the morning im more in the mood as when the day is shit and goes on I can’t bother to get ready .
-
Reading this thread and what your going through too makes me realise what were all up against in this industry.
I must get these callers to phone back in 20mins at least in the slim hope they are genuine and call back or a timewaster that is put off and dosnt bother.
I've really learnt plenty reading all the tips and experiences.
I wish I could keep motivated but it's not realistic after 3 or 4 tw. I become mentally tired and switch off earlier probably missing genuine calls.
The good clients keep me motivated 😊
-
I think the last week of the month attracts more timewasters.
-
I dont think it takes much to set them off with any excuse any day or time and yes absolutely when more penniless!
-
Ocassionally if I get too many TW, I answer '(such and such's receptionist... how can I help?'. Then I'm extra formal and brief and it can help put off the jerkoffs who really lust to talk to the girl in the photo.
-
This has been killing my mood lately too. I have no energy for dealing with the phone these days. So many fucking idiots calling all the time and I just give up some days trying to work because they give me a migraine.
-
I have noticed the t wasters are not messaging or calling as much now. Many are blocked.
They move on to torment other ladies unfortunately.
-
I find that you do get to a tipping point when you work an area consistently in that all the timewasters present themselves and therefore get blocked. It's when you get to a new area and the enquiries are crazy busy that you have to start the weeding out process all over again!
-
I was in Telford last week and the timewasters mentally exhausted me, so much so that I didn't work on the weekend before I left.
I don't know where they came from as I never had a problem on my previous tour there.
I won't return.
I've got a zero tolerance but some of them were confirming then cancelling last minute.
Never known anything like it!
-
After many years in this job I have some tricks.
In my VivaStreet and FridayAD ad, I put my number in the part that they have to look for it and I have seen that the amount of Tw has dropped, those guys really take away the desire to work from anyone.
At the end of the text of the description I put, for example:
"Phone: Clip in the AD for see my number. (Please Not text, not private call)"
With this trick, the number of tw who spent all the time bothering has fallen ...

When I was touring Shrewsbury a while back I had a client from Telford. I asked him if any hotels there were workable to his knowledge, as I had heard of girls being chucked out of every hotel in the town.
He told me the sex work scene in Telford is almost completely gang-controlled and the pimps will threaten off touring girls, make fake bookings, try to intimidate the hotel management into throwing out indie girls.
I always take punter tales with a pinch of salt, but this would explain why this area is so risky to work from in hotels.
-
I'm in Essex and last time I worked I had 4 Timewasters, All of them I chatted to on the phone and arranged a time and all no show. It's got worse lately, I work less now and since lockdowns I've found escorting is more testing and 30 minute bookings more popular. Working next 3 days and once my green light is on I expect to get the usual Askers, It's annoying and definitely dampens my mood and enthusiasm.
-
I don’t get many tw / NS
I’ve been working near Heathrow which is notorious for TW & NS since Last Friday and so far everyone has turned up I’ve not had any NS yet
-
I no longer reply to any tw cancellations or no shows like I used to when I first started working.
After reading so much here I'm more vigilant during calls and probably save myself some pointless waiting around but some still slip through the net so to speak.
I feel that I've had the best of the borough lol ..
as not getting as many bookings.
Sadly my block list is longer than my client list :-[
-
Same here a long list of blocked on aw , no shortage of idiots at all , I updated my advert to improve things but it don’t make one difference at all , 2 idiots yesterday , and 1 today .
-
Kiss i am also noticing my block list or bad warnings is also longer then genuine clients that call. I am working out 30% of calls are genuine paying clients looking for a booking that day the rest are just oxygen thieves.
-
What I noticed is that I would nearly always get a tw /NS on the day I arrived
I would be rushing around trying to get ready
Guys trying to book and I wouldn’t do my usual red flag checks 😂 and nearly always get a NS
So now I put auto reply call back after xxx I refuse to answer my phone or take a booking until I have arrived checked in had a shower and feel ready to start which may be the following morning

Most of them are local pimps using different numbers to phone and book and then cancel.
-
Terrible day. Two cancellation by email. Only calls from witheld numbers. I’m now out of pocket and fuming.
-
don't spend too much time thinking of these, they happen, block and move on x
-
Wank calls stupid conversation straight after booking arranged one even tried video call without permission .
I did upload new photos maybe this gets them going
