That's why we have a "real life meetings" section..A way to prove you can at least manage to show up for coffee.

When I am on the hunt for a new Mistress, I am not fooling around. I put up profiles, I answer them, I go to parties, and when I set up a first meeting, I brush my teeth, put on clean clothes, and I show up. I just assumed that everyone did that.When I found out that was not the case, I was quite surprised.

Great ideas.  I have actually suggested them to Ms. Mlicious.  She has an Amazon.com wishlist that has proved quite effective at cooling off one handed typists.  And whenever we meet a guy, it is at a place we were going anyway.

Petdave, I am a submale, which is why this behavior confuses me.  I would never, and have never done that jerky stuff.  When I am on the hunt for a new Mistress, I am not fooling around.  I put up profiles, I answer them, I go to parties, and when I set up a first meeting, I brush my teeth, put on clean clothes, and I show up.  I just assumed that everyone did that.When I found out that was not the case, I was quite surprised.

It's tough to come up with a fullproof screening mechanism.  Time is valuable to people, so this isn't the best idea, because if the person is a no show, you end up having wasted time better spent doing something else.  Require they actually be in the place you plan to meet, before going out to meet them.  Make sure it's a place you are very familiar with.  When they call and say they are there, ask them to describe what the place looks like.  Another is having them paypal ten dollars.  That would cover the cost of gas, and if they are there when you arrive, you can give them the ten dollars back.  I don't know if gas companies have a service where you can email a specific gas card amount for the recipient to print out (most ticket agencies for sporting, concert, and cultural events do this now).  If so, that would be a nice option also, so as an address or PO box doesn't have to be revealed.  If someone complains that it's a form of tribute, remind them that ten dollars is enough to get just a touch over two gallons of gas which will probably just cover your transportation unless you are walking, and if they show, they get their money back.  If they complain that they'd go broke if they had to pay ten dollars to every domme they want to meet, then they are either destitute or trying to meet way too many people.   Personally, I would rather not have to do something like that, but if someone I was going to meet requested it based upon so many no shows, I'd gladly do it. If they turn out to be no shows, well, as they say, if you lend 10 dollars to someone and you never seen them again, it was probably money well spent.

Thanks.  Compliments like that will keep me on my little diet.  You make a good point, Subtext.  but that wishlist is a good way to cut out the BSers who claim they want to do anything and send gifts, etc.  Now she has a way to make them put up or shut up, even if it is just a small token.
