How Early is On Time?

[Neal69]

I Like to make sure I am on time for my punts.

That means I arrive at the location early then fiddle with my phone in the car or wander around for a bit before either knocking on the door or phoning/texting for the actual flat/house/room number.

So my question is How early is on time?

So do you phone/text 5 mins before or wait until the exact time?

Particularly with a new WG I am always afraid that if I text/phone exactly on time I will then be after the arranged time in the room and get short changed on my time. I do also try not to overstay unless she makes it obvious that she wishes me to do so.

On the other hand I do not want to phone/text/knock too early as she may not be ready for me.

i'm a stickler for punctuality on both sides. I usually go quite a distance for a punt so would arrive in the general vicinity about 30 mins before.
If its a parlour no problem i either hang around or more likely go in for a cuppa & wait if she's not ready.
If its an indie then i text 15 mins before to tell her I'm 5 mins away & wait for her to say she's ready, 90% of the time they tell me to come straight in away.

Good advice, Hotel or Apartment I would text 15 min before,  if it is a house 5 min before. However I alway check the time and make a point of showing I am doing so once in the room. If I have been punctual then my time starts from then.

I always arrive early and hang about. Hate to be late.
Unlike many prossies on outcall, for whom lateness is par for the course. 

[myothernameis]

When Im arranging to see an escort, when making the booking, I tell her I will text you when I arrive, usually 10-15 min before Im due to see her

Sometimes they will text back even with the address but not the door number if its a flat

Weird. I posted about a thread on Pnet, and the link was automatically altered and then the post vanished!

Anyhoo, the thread is titled Why Do Punters Arrive Early on the Pnet forums. Basically has some WGs not liking punters being early (still have other punter there, still getting ready, etc), some WGs saying it's not a problem as long as the punter is prepared to wait until the appointment time if need be, and some WGs saying that it's good to be early.

I can understand last minute tarting up routines getting interrupted if someone is early, but very unrealistic to expect someone to arrive precisely on the dot and not a moment earlier.

Always get in no less than five minutes before. This gives me enough time to confirm services, face to face and point out exactly when the time starts. There are some slippery fuckers out there but I only use this when I get the feeling it's required.

If you turn up bang on time and get bogged down in chit, chat and time wasting shit like 'would you like a drink', or 'would you like a massage', you may well find that the clock has already been ticking on your meter!

[Mr Br1ghts1de]

I always aim to be with the girl at least 5 mins before the appointment for the reasons outlined here.

Cheers. Explains things. 

[Markus]

I try to be early so as to not eat in to my time but you can end up waiting around for ages. In a residential street this not only causes glaring stares from passers by but also makes me highly uncomfortable as you stand out like a sore thumb.

If I am driving, the wait is easier. I walk around the adjacent street so as to not wait in front of the house/flat like a knob but any more then 10-15 mins wait and I text the girl to say I'm walking.

Actually regarding 616 it was an unmoderated non-punting site frequented by hackers and fraudsters, not Pro$$ieNet.

Thanks for the explanation.

[Loki]

being 5 minutes early is good enough for me.

I don't want to turn a half hour punt into an hour by hanging about outside/in my car/in a cafe... my time is far more valuable than that.

One of the reasons why I use a WG, so that I can pay for what I want, and not have to go on dates and meals before some egotistical princess gets her pants off... 

 

[rogerc23]

I get there 10 minutes before and at that point send a text,as loki said above i dont have the time to be hanging around for half an hour as i normally have escaped from the office to punt.
I find a text 10 minutes before normally works well,as long as i am stark bollock naked by the agreed start time i am happy!

[pleasure]

I usually turn up pretty early as I hate to put anyone out. I'd feel like a hypocrite criticising the many working girls who've messed me around, if I'd done similar myself.

I usually hang around until exactly the time of the appointment mind you. Having read many of the replies here, perhaps I'll start contacting the girl 5 or 10 minutes early instead.

Not just outcalls. It's amazing how many pro$$ies, like misandrist Chloe Kisses, who can't even be punctual when getting her size 18 arse from the sofa to the front door.

Where pro$$ies are concerned, poor time management generally = poor service.
If I'm running late it's usually because of poor directions given by the Pro$$ie.

 

[CBPaul]

I aim to arrive 15 minutes early, which after crap traffic, finding somewhere safe to park and checking out parking restrictions usually means I text 5 minutes before the booking time. As far as I'm concerned, if I've booked for 10 - 11am then we should be  in the room and starting the punt at 10am, not getting a flat / room number at 10am.

[cockneybstrd]

As an Outcall 'specialist' in London I am used to them either being late or early

But never on fucking time !

[Daffodil]

I am a punctual sort of chap and usually get to a punt ten-fifteen minutes early, text the girl, aim to be at hers five minutes before showtime. Works for me.

[webpunter]

If its an indie then i text 15 mins before to tell her I'm 5 mins away & wait for her to say she's ready, 90% of the time they tell me to come straight in away.

Deffo my approach.  Then find that the booking is more likely to run on a bit - rather than be shorter.  Working on the basis that all goes well & that the girlie wants to try & get you on repeat visits.  I've had it where the girlie says no rush.  Have a shower if you want before leaving etc.  When the clock has already run down.  Plus at the start where they say - you're a bit early so relax - have a shower / drink & the fun starts @ xx:00 etc.  I've had them come into the shower room if in the bathroom & then do a bit of make up in the mirror etc.  They have a quick chat & i get the right horn thinking like shortly i'll be having some fun with her.  Just depends on the girlie & the time that they have until the next punter.  But tend to find that when it works well it works very well.  Best one was when the girlie was FAF and was only wearing lingerie.  She said to me 'let me see your cock'.  Then it was 'stop the shower & i'll wash it for you'.  Nice soapy HJ for like a minute - was just firming up.  Then with a wicked smile she stopped & said 'come find me'.  Which wasn't hard in a studio flat.  I was in lust & a great teasing start to proceedings

The cock washing HJ thing is a trick that more WG's should pick up on,  it should at least be offered after all it is beneficial for everyone concerned and sets a good tone to the punt imo.

[charming_red]

Always get there 5-10mins before. That will allow you to get the negotiations and refreshments bullshit out the way because some girls will use that during your booking time and last thing you want is to get into a dispute or disagreement which will only sour the meeting.

[Thepacifist]

What I usually do is confirm on the day, they'll usually give me the address at this point. Then, I'll look it up on Google maps. I'll get to the area within 15-20 minutes of the start time and try and find the place. After I've found it I'll text her 5 minutes before and hope to get let in. Ideally I'd like to have a shower at hers 5 minutes before time starts but it never works out like that for me.

[Dani]

I don't normally mind if someone is up to 15 minutes early as I am normally ready half hour before the booking and just sat around relaxing.  I guess it depends on how the girl works.  Someone who takes back to back bookings or only leaves enough time for a wuick wipe down wont appreciate you being early but someone who likes a big gap between bookings should be ready and waiting so being early shouldn't be a problem.
I would prefer early to late as I am quite anal about being on time and I expect clients to be punctual unless they have contacted me beforehand to say stuck in traffic etc.

[jack_walsh]

Good question OP.  Much like everyone else I get there 10-15 before and text 5 mins before starts with "just parked" type message. If she's ready she texts back straighway to come in, otherwise I don't get that text until she's ready.  I would expect her to be ready 5 mins before a booking but hey it hardly works out like that.

I agree with the other comment and found that a punctual WG always gives excellent service. The tardy ones generally don't. On my last punt the WG had the nerve to hurry me out after exactly 30 minutes having been 20 minutes late herself. "You came in at ten to" she said. So for her the clock started as soon as I walked in!!  Nevermind that there was 5 more minutes of bull and her still getting ready. You can't argue with a WG.

[threechilliman]

Generally I'm there way to early as I overestimate how long it will take me to get to a punt and then drive to fast to make matters worse. Every even slightly hesitant driver gets a fuckin' mouthful from me when I'm heading for a punt. The WG get's a mouthful as well.....

The Liverpool 3 girl was funny as I was stood outside the apartments and spotted Vicki coming down the road towards me! We ignored each other but she knew who she was expecting when I turned up. She was late by the way, although I wasn't in a hurry.

[Rochdull lad]

A problem can arise if you're punting in an area you don't know well.

E.g.  A few weeks ago I was punting a WG who lived in an area I'm not familiar with.  Additionally, it was one of the rare occasions where I'd not been able to send her my usual email explaining about my handicap and how it might affect our time in the room.

2 or 3 hours before our appointment time, she asked if I could arrive 1/2 hour early.  I said that I could; but never thought to explain that: 1] I go everywhere by public transport; and 2] I don't know the area right well.  When I got off the suburban train near to where she lives, I texted her to say that I had done that and asked for her actual address to speed up the process of getting to her.  She texted back saying that I knew the general area where she lived and when I was close by, to text again for the actual number of her flat.

What she didn't know at that time was that I walk slower than her other clients so the 5 minutes she was expecting it would take me to walk from her local station took me probably three times as long.   But that was because she kept texting to ask me why I wasn't already there and I kept having to stop to text that I was on my way.

The more she texted to ask where I was and I had to reply to assure her I was on my way, the more my arrival was delayed!  If only she'd given me the address when I got off my train, I could have been there on time.

You don't need to tell me, Dani; that the standard advice on Saafe is not to give the actual address until you can see the punter [or words to that effect] because I've already discussed this situation with one of my Regulars and she's already told me that.

My point is that such advice can actually delay the punter.

Sounds familiar 

[touch.and.go]

So is the pre-punt shower included in the time or not? I'm happy to accept the post-punt shower in the time - especially if she gets in as well - excellent mutual watersports opportunity.

Personally I would say no it shouldn't be included as long as the punter doesn't take the piss, a quick shower should only take a few minutes.

[mattylondon]

I agree. Personally, I arrive showered anyway but if she insists I've no problem but not on the cock, sorry clock!

Hmmmm ...... My thoughts exactly but doesn't seem to work out like that.

I would not tell you that as I have no problem giving out my address once someone has booked me. It makes life easier and saved fading around trying to give directions on the phone if I explain exactly where I am in advance
After all if someone really wanted my address it would not be hard to make a booking and follow through with the charade of standing next to a lampost waving the telegraph whilst standing on one leg so its easier to just give it out anyway

[Anadin]

I always try to be on time or early but if I'm early I'll text them to see if they can see me earlier as I don't wanna hang about and they may be doing nowt either.

[pokenn]

I always arrive early and hang about. Hate to be late.
Unlike many prossies on outcall, for whom lateness is par for the course. 

I do quite a lot of outcalls to my home and the girl almost always arrives on the dot. Occasioanally one calls to say she running late or got lost. Maybe it's different with outcalls to hotels.

[Laid-back DB]

A problem can arise if you're punting in an area you don't know well.

I usually plan to arrive 30mins early as I tend to punt well away from home so need the extra time to find somewhere to park that is safe, but not visible from here I need to go.

[wristjob]

I tend to book 30-60 minutes ahead so it's usually a case of call, book say 60 min ahead, shower, drive - arrive 13 seconds early at best.

I think if I found a place where the punt was free if I arrived 20 minutes early and sat around waiting I would never ever go there. I'll take needles in my eyes ahead of waiting around every time.

[wristjob]

So is the pre-punt shower included in the time or not? I'm happy to accept the post-punt shower in the time - especially if she gets in as well - excellent mutual watersports opportunity. 

I shower before. If there is a shower and it's offered I'll jump in and clean the necessary bits, 1 minute at most. My experience is anybody who is professional enough to have a shower isn't so petty as to risk their reputation screwing you over time.

I Like to make sure I am on time for my punts.

On the other hand I do not want to phone/text/knock too early as she may not be ready for me.

I am always early as i drive and allow for the unexpected like roadworks etc. I will ring the WG if a newbie to me and inform her i am in her area, if a regular i might just text them instead. Many times this has resulted in WGs asking me to come straight in as the punter before me didnt show up. Fine with me as its less hanging about.

The only drawback with this i have had in recent years was my punt that nearly wasnt. I was so early that i parked up, turned my engine off but left the blower and cd on. When it came time to make a move i discovered i had run the battery down. I rang the WG who was a newbie to me and she firstly suggested cancelling but i was determined to punt with her that day. So i set off on foot thinking it was only a reasonably short walk, wrong, it was a lot further to her place than i thought. So still being intent on punting i stepped into the road and flagged a car down. The young male driver looked at me as he was winding his window down like i was a nutter. I said i needed a lift and offered him £20 which i said he could keep whatever, this seemed to relax him and he happily dropped me off at the WGs place where i arrived on time. I rang the breakdown people in a break and had an excellent punt with the WG, Jaime then of St Albans who became a regular for a while. Got a mini-cab back to my car only to find the battery recharged. The moral for me being park up closer to the WGs so it actually IS only a short walk if the car wont start.

[broksonic]

Because I use public transport to visit Escorts , I always make sure I get a train that will get me there up to 30 mins before the booking because you can't guarantee public transport to be on time .
I will normally go and have a coffee or a non alcoholic drink in a pub or wine bar while waiting for the time I've booked the Escort

[JV547845]

I go with 10 mins early to park if it's nearby, I know the town and local route inc traffic, 15 mins early to find the address plus the above if it's a new girl for me, and I allow about half an hour if it's 1.5h-2.5 h in the car to allow for traffic and me needing to find somewhere to  go pee after staying hydrated on a long hot car journey before I'm in the WG's house (you don't want to pee through a semi especially not on the meter).   

No matter how much extra time I allow for the punt I speed during the first hour of the journey to allow for road works and traffic, banka  bit of time, and in the last hour of the journey when I get paranoid.  The middle 10 minutes (if any) when I'm relaxed, confident I'm going to make it on time, and driving at/below the speed limit is quite satisfying. 

[stayer]

I always aim to arrive early but text or call her to ask if I can come in if I'm only a few minutes early.

I prefer to punt at the weekends as:

1. I don't want to take time off for weekday morning or afternoon punts
2. I'd rather not do weekday evenings when she may be tired or I'm fighting my way through the traffic

And speaking of traffic: Sundays work best for me as the traffic is normally light.
