Reliable: (adj) a rare commodity in some cirlces

July 14 2015

Why is it that the level of reliability of the RHP population seems so low? You always hear people complaining about others not showing up to dates (and it seems that men, women and couples are all tarred by the same brush in this regard). But why is this the case? My experience suggests the 'no-show' rate is about 30%, which would be totally unacceptable in other areas of life (eg: the workplace). So I'd be interested in hearing people's ideas as to why people on here behave that way. I would be particularly interested in hearing from some serial offenders, but I suspect that they'll be conspicuous in their silence on this one! Haha And to all those who do show (or at least give notice if they won't be there), I dips m' lid!!

    You said it OP. Not like other areas of life like the workplace. To bloody right, nobody is paying me and I am here for fun, take the fun out of it an it becomes work "No Way!". I don't owe anyone anything and if someone starts talking to me and I say "Hello nice smile you have." that does not mean I will feel that way in the morning. Its a game for 30% and at the end of the day when it gets too hard, or you are just disinterested you simply turn it off and away it goes. Like any game. If you do not want to be treated like a computer game than do not use a medium that allows people to treat you like a set of computer generated pixels with an off switch. Try your local community hall/pub/church, people there treat you like a living breathing human. If you want this to be real you have to take away the anonymity, do that and way more than 30% will find some other game to play.

    Low to no confidence.... Unsure if this is for them and instead of politely backing out, just don't show up..... For us, we never judge people by another's actions, unless we are directly involved it's all here say.... It has happened to us once very early in the piece, he has since tried to redeem himself and has now a partner to add to the mix.... Unfortunately for him/them.... We don't go there after the first deception.... We had changed some significant plans to cater for our meet and for him not to show..... NEXT!! ....

    My no-show % is directly related to my screening ability. People are only unreliable when you haven't selected them more carefully.

    I've cancelled a couple times last minute. My reasons were pretty unacceptable - but I think generally speaking are a little more afraid to meet in an online context. With RHP you have added anxiety, because for most - despite what they say, there is an expectation to have sex. One of the two cancellations was due to the other person being too insistent. I think some other reasons, which have not been any of my reasons include - other (better) options have arisen, feelings of arousal are now gone, etc, etc.

    I have been cancelled on a couple times. I have only experienced this with couples who are new to the site. And only when communications pre-meeting is restricted to the male of the couple. i.e. the woman most likely had little insight into 'meeting'.

    I have never been stood up but I think I am just lucky. However, i take my good old time to get to know people before a meet, even for a coffee/drink. I am very fussy and will try to make a connection with the person first before even meeting face to face. And most of the time, I will not even sleep with them on the first date, or second or third date. Just will vary between men and how well I feel that connection. Saying that, if i feel a connection and I think we may hit it off and we have agreed to meet, then I will keep my end of the bargain. Just right and respectful with the man as I know his time and energy is just as important as mine. If I have to cancel, I always inform them way ahead of time before they head off. Normally, I would notify early in the morn or days before, regardless of reason why I back off. I did back off one time on a drink meet with a man here as he offended me by personally insulting me, albeit jokingly. Bad move. That turned off the mojo tap real quick. No meet and I still hear no end to his whining.

    I've been on RHP for about 4 years and in that time I've only had 2 no shows. So I would personally say my no-show rate is less than 1% but then I have a good sense of following my intuition and a good screening process. As mentioned by other posters above I believe it is a confidence issue. People have to feel confident, comfortable in their decision to meet you and at ease that you both meet each others criteria. I think if people feel there is an expectation on them to meet a certain standard or performance they stress out and don't show. Until you meet, that other person they doesn't really exist outside your computer and you don't owe them anything - seems to be the sentiment I've heard expressed. Not everyone can handle the "fear of the unknown" when meeting a perfect stranger, especially if it isn't in a public place. Just my thoughts LG

    In chat room, I saw a woman there who complaining to the room her frustration with single men. She said that the single man she made arrangements for a meet in a hotel on the night was a no-show and she is left on her own in the hotel for the night. This woman is gorgeous and hot. I am not sure why a man would not just show up. She is married and just wanted NSA sex so I thought after an initial attraction and succeeding chats to connect, any man would be very happy to meet up with her for NSA action. Don't most men say that on their profile? I would only assume that the reason for no show would be of emergency nature. Don't know so can't judge. But her comments implied he was a no show. I don't know what ensued between them but I just felt bad for her. so no guarantee of a meet even for the gorgeous people.

    We had a guy come over too our place, had an awesome threesome, double penetration for the first experience and our playmate had to leave for work, had another guy we had been chatting with for a while that said he had a great boss and could easily arrange time off work, so contacted him and suggested he come over for the rest of the day and evening. "Sorry can't get the time off work" Reckon the single status was dodgy. Had a woman we had been chatting with and contacted her, she said she was on her way and sent messages throughout her journey to tell us where she was and right up to around ten minutes away then nothing ever again Reckon some bloke playing games, too good to be true. Oh well, our playmate was more than happy to come back over. And he did I really love Tara, so 'never give up' is the motto in this little love nest. Mado Tara xx
