Well if you travel, you have a room already for the night and plenty of time to book someone else. Especially agencies will/should offer someone else if your girl refuses you. If you pay for the girl's driver.... I think it's rude to say it's ok to give compensation to outcall girls but not incall girls...
That may had been right 5 years ago but these days... lol. Honestly even at 1 pm sometimes your choices are much slimer. Indies often prefer a 24h notice when booking (and its understandable) or may be unreachable "on the spot" as they are with a client or busy doing something else, and lots of agencies fully book by the early PM hours. There may be a couple girls left later but honestly if i was to switch to plan b at 7-8 pm these days, i don't think it could work at all.
As for the driver vs incall fee. Well its more a transportation thing. If you ask for an outcall she has to get her transportation (usually its a driver) but it can be a cab or else. The driver get paid no matter if the girl do her call or not, thus why i say its imperative to pay the driver fee as she will LOOSE 20$ and i mean like actual loosing, not a "potential" loss as if she saw another client. But ill admit i didn't take Victoria's type of incall into consideration in my exemple. In that case yeah she does loose transportation money as well. I had in mind more an agency outcall where the girls are already there no matter what for there shift and such.
But as a client going to an incall i am the one paying transportation to get there.
Liike i said above, the chances for me to cancel a meeting are slim to none, so it should not be an issue much but in a case it would happen... thats how i see it. Honestly last year i saw somebody wich was very beautifull, when i saw her getting out of the car (i was waiting for her downstair) i was like "wow.... i can't wait...." lol , but as soon as she got close and conversation (or should i say lack of) started i got a bad feeling. As we got to my room (in silence...:\) and when we arrived and the cold / not interested attitude kept getting worst i was thinking to myself maybe i should have her go... I knew the chemistry was off. But she was very beautifull ... and it happened a few times girls where shy, uninspired for the 10 min pre-sex introduction and actually turned completely the other side for the sex, like super good ... So i said to myself lets hope for the best. But it never improved and the session was mediocre ... So should i had canceled her? If i had done it, should i had been the one to blame for her cold attitude?? Everybody that knows me here, girls or guys know im a pretty easy going dude. The look part is obviously different and its some of the guys reasons to cancel but even there there is lot that can enter as factors, as heavy photoshop, tons of tatoos when none appears on picture (and its not mentioned she has tons of them) and so on. I know tatoos is not an issue for a bunch of peoples, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me either (unless her face is covered or something lol) but it is for some.
Maybe a generalization is not the best in that case, maybe its better to evaluate a case by case scenario.
Personally, if I arranged a session and it is not an obvious B&S and she hasn't said or done anything offensive, if it turns out that I can't go through with it for any reason of my own, face, voice, she looks like my sister/ daughter etc...
I would just pay her the full amount we agreed upon. It is not her fault, I am the one that wasted her time, $250-$400 is not going to make me any richer or poorer, I have lost far more on things I screwed up.
Lol i wish i could be like you buddy. But your good situation in this case is not a normality, at least not in real life. I have to wait months to get that 200-400$ session personally. I can'T loose such a sum of money. As that would mean im not seeing anyone else that moment and won't see anyone again for another 2-3 months. If i had 200 000$ in my bank account or whatever then yeah i would probably not care too much of loosing 200$. But its not the case lol. Money is obviously relative to the person and how much they have. I am not a cheap person and don't mind paying for my extras or whatever, i never would even think of trying to deal a price with an SP either. But in the case of money loss for no return at all... i guess this is where i get a bit more frisky.
Overall even with some less than stellar meetings like i said above, overall this business have been good to me. This is why i am still fully enjoying it. I always been very carefull and a very safe guy (no BP, going for the better agencies etc) but its something i have to do in my situation to make sure i keep enjoying this business like i do and coming back
