It sure sounds strange, and no it's not a funny practical joke, it's something that hurts someone's livelihood...yes this lifestyle is for companions their livelihood, their source of income to pay bills, rent, mortgage etc etc etc. You'd have to be pretty sick to do that. How'd you like it if the boss calls you in to your job for OT and once you get there, there isn't any work to do? Closest analogy I can come up with
And if it's other companions why would you do something to hurt another lady? And yes, you'd think companions most of all would know stunts like this hurt each other. It's malicious and short sighted to say the least
Clients when booking, besides providing screening info can also pay the lady a deposit (or in full) in advance. That way the lady (especially in the case of a new client) knows he's a genuine client, and not going to be a NCNS. Bonus is the business part of the date is looked after before the date even begins (I've already paid three ladies in full for dates that have yet to be scheduled because of the current covid climate...but you'll read about those dates later in the reco forums 😉)
Clients (and possibly some companions too) need to stop playing games like this. This lifestyle is, well can and should be a mutually beneficial lifestyle. NCNS "games" benefit no one, not companions nor client
