If you have seen them a hand full of times, and built trust, then perhaps. I can't speak for the two of you.

If an out and there drive is an hour and you have seen them once or twice, maybe.

Don't find yourself in desperate mode and toss a grand at someone you've never seen before.

Plus do not ever give in to a cashless society, even though it can not be stopped.

And have a look at all the Private info that B of A gave the FBI.

You think any other bank would not if an investigation was open ?

Just saw a Provider on Wednesday that Required a Deposit to Book, The Deposit DID NOT GO TOWARDS the donation, which is kind of Wack that you are paying extra just to book. She is a reputable provider on this site and another one that many of you are familiar with. She does have stellar reviews on Both sites and I did reach out to people that had rated her to get info , She clearly states the deposit in her Ad. it was not to much $ but still having to Zelle or CashApp it is very inconvenient.
I get the thought process on the deposit, but with clientele thats established is it really necessary?!?

But I cant Imagine how many Guys Flake and at least w the deposit they get some sort of compensation for their time

Ive had a few Girls flake on myself also, we as hobbyist do not get anything from it, I feel its just part of the Game. Thats the reason for the Rating system , for both the provider and hobbyist

But deposits are seeming more of the Norm now

I require a deposit for every appointment. I have limited availability so it helps secure my schedule. I do have a pretty good reputation so a true gentleman will not question why I do it or if they can find a way out from it, it happens I just move on to the next message 🤪🫶🏼💋

Many girls ( or should I say trustworthy girls) will absolutely make up for flaking or cancelling


But when guys do it we are not only out of money from your slot but at a complete loss because we could have booked someone else.

Also I have NEVER met a man that made up or payed me for flaking EVER yet everytime I flake or even have to push the time out I give a deal



So I see why a woman would want a deposit. Especially a lady like me who doesn't come out often, doesn't see a lot of people and rarely have extra time to spare when someone flakes. . it helps secure your spot but it definitely should go towards the service . That's just a rip off

I always require a large deposit since my time is extremely valuable.

If the person I have an appointment with is on time and the contract is fulfilled their deposit is refunded.

If they cannot abide to the terms of the contract then they forfeit the deposit and now owe five times the deposit amount for breech of said contract.

Let's us not forget bunga bunga is part of every contract.!

If I have to cancel or if I feel a bad vibe with the person I always refund the deposit. I would not tarnish my reputation over a $100 deposit. That would be unprofessional.😊💋

My services have nothing to do with humaniplex.

For hx I normally travel 3 to 4 hours round trip so I would already trust the person or no appointment.

I trust few to be on time so I cannot make an appointment with people having dandruff.

Tough call.

Funny thing about this whole conversation is a deposit doesn't guarantee a guy showing up but what it does guarantee is the guy losing money

Somehow these ladies have convinced themselves they don't have to cover the fixed and variable cost of their business like every other business does

Sorry ladies it doesn't work that way

imagine if every business asked for a deposit everytime you needed something delivered or picked up. The pizza man asking for a deposit before he or she could bring the pizza to your house

If you can't cover simple fixed and variable cost your really shouldn't be doing business. In fact you don't even have a business at the point just a glorified job.

Then you wonder why the majority of these ladies are going from hotel to hotel broke. Pure stupidity.

Matrix... when he books and doesn't show she will lose money for his mess up so I think the person who cancels should be responsible not the. If it's her fault then she should make up for it and if it's his fault he should pay a deposit.... Even doctors have a No show fee/policy.


Also a lot of places charge delivery fees. Maybe not a deposit but Even Panera bread tells you that if you order delivery their meny items will be a little more expensive .


Also most places that deliver will charge a delivery fee AND usually makes you pay before they come lol like pizza places haha Even at the drive through you pay before you order and HOPE it's correct lol


So that may not be a good comparison BUT I kinda understand how men feel because just like women want to protect themselves, the men do too. It's a catch 22 kinda think . The girl wants a deposit because of too many cancellations and the men don't want to make deposits because of too many scams

Sucks

To each is own … ( is that how that goes 🤭) everyone is doing what is right for them. If you don’t like someone’s practice and rules to engage with them then just move on …. There are so many people on here who will fit your bill….. it goes all ways… at the end of the day we all have to do our best to feel comfortable and confident in our our own abilities to navigate this very unique niche …

"when he books and doesn't show she will lose money for his mess up so I think the person who cancels should be responsible not the."

That's the point you are going to lose money when doing business. If you can't generate enough profit to cover your loses you have a losing business. That's why you don't see businesses doing that.

Deposits in a business since is to show your ability to pay for something like another form of credit not to cover your routine loses and fixed cost. You are supposed to have your own money upfront to cover your loses or fixed cost not ask for a handout from your customers. That's a losing strategy.

This is why we don't have you have ladies running businesses majority of you just generally don't understand basic businesses concepts. This is why we see so many of you ladies going from hotel to hotel losing money.

Exactly syd.. even my nail tech requires a deposit lol idk why these men think women can't run their own business when I know WAAAAAAAY more females entrepreneurs than men. Hair dressers, make up artists, clothing boutique owners, lash techs, and even estheticians lol


Matrix .. bless your heart lol
I almost feel bad that someone at your big grown age could be so simple minded ... Idk what kind of ladies that you meet but it sounds like you need to upgrade your taste 🤣 I don't think any of those things apply to me so I can't comment because idk what it's like to sleep in a hotel longer than one night unless I'm on vacation


Also. Yes businesses have to take losses but if the majority of your business is going to be a loss due to cancellations and flakes then you will find ways to make up for it. I.E. deposits or other...



LOTS of places asks for deposits!! They just may not be the places that you frequent, but they do. Even when I booked a reservation at Mama por dios (gross food btw) they made me put a card on file and will charge you if you don't show up.



BUT GUESS WHAT!!!! The great part about being a grown up is that you don't have to pay it lol. Just say no thank you and move on but don't bash anyone for how they run their business

Also maybe the ladies that do require a deposit can add it on their page? I wonder if that would help clear confusion before hand?



I can see putting "no deposit required" on your page as a good thing too. Unless it's TOS then nvm

"WAAAAAAAY more females entrepreneurs than men. Hair dressers, make up artists, clothing boutique owners, lash techs, and even estheticians lol"

"You can't make this shit up" the fact you just uttered that BS out your mouth just shows how ignorant you are. (Hairdressers and make up artists as entrepreneurship really?)

Why don't you stop talking and go read some statistics on that you will be shocked to see how foolish you sound.

You don't even know the reality of the majority of ladies in this line of work why don't go take a trip down to the track (LA, Hollywood, Pamona, and San Bernardino) and see how the majority of these ladies are living. Then make that comment again because you in a alternate universe.

You make up loses through profit that's it. Deposits are not meant to be profits if that was the case EVERY business would be asking for one. It's only for establishing your ability to purchase that's it. That's why deposits get returned to you it's not meant to keep your business from going under. Go read a book and learn something about business.

"I will simply increase the donation for everyone to cover the possibility of the few jerks that do not respect a girl's time and probably wouldn't respect their boundaries anyway."

That's correct that what businesses do. Increase the donation to where you can make a profit and cover your shortfalls. That business at a basic level.

an entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses...


So yes by definition those are entrepreneurs


And down to the track? LOL like I said you need a better taste in women because if that's where you're picking up your girls you're definitely digging at the bottom of the barrel




I will agree to disagree and tell you to have a good day

But I appreciate your feedback
.. like I said





And MARISSA FOR THE WIN,!!!

It's so sad how when a girl messes up guys expect something in return like a deal but when they mess up we get told that it's the cost of business... We know that men don't want to send deposits because of scammers and we know that ladies required deposits because of flakes but coming up with a middle ground is more important than bickering back and forth so I always appreciate your insight

No to Deposits I always pay with cash. I dont want anyone on HX knowing any of my personal information no to Venmo Zelle Cash App or Apple Pay. That is why we have a rating network on HX.
Guys if a girl wants a Deposit find a new girl. Always protect your privacy guys.
