Hello ladies I'm not sure where to post this!
I have started screening clients now (thanks to client eye, this forum etc)
Now I always keep an eye for any reviews on well-known punting forums and I have seen this guy posting on a few asking if I had a active profile (I deactivated my profile while I took some time off)
Now this guy sends me a message on my AW asking for a booking with the same username that was asking around the forums.
Now I know I give a good service and I have never received a bad review, but im kinda nervous accepting a booking from someone I know is an active user and reviewer on punting sites....
Does anyone else feel put off by this? Debating weather I should see him or not.
Thanks

If you don't mind being reviewed on punter forums go ahead with the booking (because HE WILL review you), if on the other hand if you'd rather not be reviewed or continue keeping a low profile don't see him and give him some lockdown/covid excuse. Simplez. Some ladies like reviews and others don't, it all depends on your business model and preferences. You definately don;t need to see this man if you don't want to. It's all up to you.
-
Your choice really depends how you feel. Discretion is key for me so i would not entertain certain types if i know.
-
If you're feeling nervous already why put yourself through unnecessary stress?
Personally I don't book reviewers or anyone I suspect may be. I find the transaction can be abusive and they're not essential to attract good quality clients.

Depends where you working from. If you’re working from your home be careful. Your location will be discussed and you can be outed. [removed]

Is seeing this man really worth the anxiety? Would it just be better to not engage with him? It's your prerogative to see who you wish, so you don't even need to say a reason other than you have no availability for whatever time he suggests.
Personally, confidentiality and discretion is paramount. My time with a man is private and I am very clear about this, ergo I do not see anyone who reviews. However for a myriad of reasons, it is unlikely the hobbyists and review fans will deign to look at my profile anyway, and thank goodness for that!

God!
I avoid these types like the plague!
These bookings cause stress and anxiety because you find yourself trying too hard to please when you really don't have to.
I've been there a few times, trust me. There are always more (less stress inducing punters) round the corner.

I couldn't give a toss provided they're polite and respectful - what punters do outwith their booking time is not my concern and I'm here to earn as much cash as I can stuff in my pockets. Provided they pass my screening they're in (and the thundercunts - with a very few exceptions - screen themselves out automatically).
But I don't read reviews and have no more interest in doing so than any other niche sites dedicated to things I don't do :).

Hello everyone thanks for all the advice!
I accepted the booking for 7:30pm, I advised him if he is more than 15mins late I cannot see him as I am fully booked.
Client arrives 20 mins late and begs me to postpone my next booking so he can still have a full hour.
I told him no sorry, I advised I wouldn't see you if you were late, and that I could still see him but he would still need to leave at 8:30.
He seemed fine with this but seriously feel a bad review coming :/
I think in future I will AVOID the professional punters, the anxiety of a bad review is enough to put me off now! Also he was just a really WEIRD DUDE haha!!

Smh ...
He’s already setting you up off to fail by saying push ur next client back to accommodate him.
What a classless human being!!
-
What a entiltled knob candi. All done on purpose i would say and ignored your rules for a booking.
-
I wonder if he deliberately arrived late to see how you would react/if you would accommodate his request to postpone the booking immediately after his.
Urgh. Fingers crossed that if he does review you, that he is honest about his disrespectful behaviour/timekeeping.
-
And had you been the type to postpone the following person that person could be a reviewer who would then say they got pushed back because you 'tried to 'squeeze as many people in as possible' Yeah, ermmm no. It is as someone already wrote, classless.
-
With these kind of tossers you just can't win.
I've had bookings like that and they all delight in writing a poor review ::)
-
Professional punters also monitor these boards, so maybe the more sensible members of the review sites may see this thread and take his negative with a pinch of salt (that's if he does post a negative)

Don’t hold ur breath about tht Twat being honest— they just go about looking for who to ruin their reputation next.

Your gut feeling is always right Rose. He turned out to be abusive.

He text me at 6PM saying he was 'leaving now to make the booking'...
He had booked for 7:30PM. He text me at 7:35 saying 1 min away, so I advised him about my policy regarding lateness
FINALLY arrived at 8:50 asking to still have his full hour.....
Thank you for all the lovely support! Honestly am always going to trust my guy feeling from now on!

I was surprised you actually agreed to see him at 8.50pm i would have told him to fuck off. How did he explain being 1 minute away at 7.35pm to then showing up at 8.50pm did he ring you and say something happened?
-
I said to him 'I you are more than 15 mins late I cannot see you as I have other bookings'
he said 'it's okay I will still see you and pay for the full hour and leave at 8:30'
so I agreed to see him...
then when he got here started asking me to move my next booking!!
-
He's just messing you about. If I were you I'd block all contact from now on.

Oh ok so he came back after the client he wanted you to bin off for him, so came after him to make sure he got his full monies worth even though you probably had to work later to accomodate him.

I think you're very generous giving them 15 minutes leeway. I find late ones are wrong uns...usually leads to some fucked up situation created by him. I'd rather they're ready to roll 5 minutes before the gig. All down to personal choice. :)
