and already I've probably just had my second prospective meet fall through on me.
Oh well, gotta take the rough with the smooth haven't you, sort the wheat from the chaff, the red skittles from the green skittles...erm some other analogy
Anyway, my question to you is thus - what would you say your meets arranged to meets actually being fulfilled ratio is?
Feel free to do it in a percentage instead if you like, my threads are a pluralistic democracy. |

It all comes down to early communication and contact.
Yes there are timewasters on this site, but I've never personally had one.
I have had 3 meets "Fall through" which have in nearly all cases been re-arranged.
Life happens, mostly things outside of your control.
I've not had this problem and I've had a fair few meets, it's all down to communication and intent from both sides.
Good to see ya back man and good luck bro! |

I've had 4 cancellations in total of 4 years!
3 I was totally expecting and didn't come as any surprise, 1 tried to reschedule but never happened, again I didn't really try to hard as felt it was more for wank fodder |

"If you check the veri it sais web cam, not meets lol."
Yes, but his OP says prospective meets. His question is abut ratios of failed meets. Take from that that two prospects didn't work out - nothing lost there but hope. It is not a failed meet until they fail to show up. |

"What does the verification on my profile have to do with anything?
Because its the verifications that sais how many meets you had "
He is asking a separate fucking question.

I've had about 3 cancellations and I've cancelled about 3 but as they were in advance it doesn't matter. Only had one timewasting couple who arranged to meet then on the day...boom!...gone. I know the general area they were in and won't meet anyone from that area now. |

I've only been back a week but in my previous life on Fab it was 100% I don't meet often, had a couple of last minute cancellations but never a no show. Welcome back and good luck for your next meet. 3rd time lucky? |

There's a few we have met socially and would like to meet again, distance family life, work, pennies... The list is endless....
It can take months.... To try and arrange something when we are all free :/ this I find is the main problem.... |

We have had to cancel 2 meets... Which was rescheduled...
And another.... To be continued
So I'd say perhaps 90% ?? |

Well, i've had a few meets now and a couple more planned. So, at the moment it has been 100 per cent.
Mind you, I only meet when someone invites me round and I rarely ask someone 'let's meet' (i'm weird like that - hopefully they know I want to meet them as we speak a lot lol)
..so, it all depends on me really and whether I turn up.
Welcome back and good luck. |

I'm not sure because I can't be bothered to think through and count. I've had a couple of no shows.

You are oddly obsessed with some things, including other men's verifications.
As I've pointed out to you before, not everyone writes verifications for meets and not everyone displays them all. |

No matter how much you take the rough with the smooth,
no matter how much,you sort the wheat from the chaff,
no matter how pluralistic the democracy is.
you came back,knowing the odds,and yet,your first op,is a thinly disguised whinge,dressed as a question.
Such is life,Get over yourself.

If becoming a little irked at people flaking out when it comes to arranged meet ups makes me a little full of myself then sure, so be it
I'll add a few smileys on the end to make it not appear like a surly comment |

Lol
No need for the smileys,they wouldn't really change the context.
A whinge with a smile,is a whinge none the less.

"I've had 4 sexy encounters, had to reschedule 1 of them, so I guess that's 80% success (is that right? maths was never my thing). "
75%. It would be 80% if you had 5 meets and one was cancelled. |

There were 4 successful ones and 1 that was rescheduled, so arrange meetings 5 times but only met 4 times. Is it right now? |

"Potential meet for Monday, will I get the hat trick?!"
Welcome back young man (I wondered where you'd gone) and fingers crossed the potential becomes real.
If a failed meet means No Show then my stats are 100%. I am guilty of having cancelled meets ahead of time because of other priorities but I've always rearranged them. |

Sometimes life happens.
I have a 2 strike rule. I don't need to wait around and have my time wasted. The worst part is I've had to strike on guys who I have met before, then they just no show, no message, no apology.
Then message a week later asking to meet again. No way sunshine, here's the door, watch your tush on the way out. |

4 let downs in 2 years so not so bad we think. Our latest one was today from a regular that normally books a hotel near us for some fun but work had moved him to a different party of the country for next week. We like him and will find the time for him anytime he likes. Anyone else lets us down though we would never arrange to meet again |

Well I'm happy (or arrogant) enough to say I have only been let down ONCE and that person did try to reschedule n came over all apologetic but I still declined. I dunno what the successful formulae are but in my case I don't meet same day n quite a tonnage of mail flows between potential meets n myself- so maybe that's the key |
