I am submitting a review that is an anomaly for this person. How much of an anomaly I hear you ask? Let me put it in numbers: From 22 September 2014 to 28 February 2022 there have been 225 reviews of Claudia. Out of those, 219 (or 97,3%) have been glowing reviews with people indicating that they were planning to return to her based on their experiences. By contrast, 6 individuals (2,7%) indicated that they would not return to her. From the 6, 1 person later withdrew his review and apologised, mentioning that he had experienced a bad day when he met her. In addition, Claudia is currently in position number 4 on the ESA All Time Top 100, and as recently as last week, she was in the current ESA Top 10.

Based on me reading every review posted here, I believed that Claudia would definitely be a person to visit. Let me preface the rest of my review by stating this: These views are based on my own experiences with Claudia. I therefore, am in no way trying to detract from the hundreds of positive comments that she has received as noted above. Notwithstanding that statement, this forum exists as a space for individuals to post their services and users of those services to post their experiences in an objective fashion.

I first contacted Claudia on 1 March 2022. We had an extended telephone discussion and I found her to be attentive, a good conversationalist and very positive. We agreed to meet on 2 March. On the 2nd of March, I received a WhatsApp message from her 3 hours before the set appointment in which she articulated that she was not feeling the best and respectfully requested that we postpone. I appreciated her frankness and willingness to state outright that she required time for herself in order to be at her best. In my view, this was very commendable.

We then agreed on another date for the 4th of March, which Claudia confirmed via WhatsApp. On the 4th of March, I drove for more than 1 hour to reach her location. Once there, I telephoned her to inform her that I was there for our appointment. Claudia then expressed that she had messed up and had forgotten about the appointment. She mentioned a number of factors that had led to this and apologised sincerely to me. I felt, disappointed and mentioned this to her. We then set a third date for 10th March.

Again, this was confirmed via WhatsApp. This morning, 10th March, I received a further message from Claudia in which she expressed her apologies once again and said that she was "not great today" and was struggling with several stressful issues.

At this point I responded and said that I would no longer reschedule.

In summary, I have set 3 appointments with Claudia and all 3 have not occurred. I provide this to you as my experiences.

Once I post this, I anticipate 2 things will occur based on what I have observed when negative reviews pertaining to her are posted. 1. Claudia will respond and point out where I was in error, 2. Other individuals (who have had positive experiences) will point out that I was mistaken or had a bad day or we did not have a connection.
Before, you do so, please remember that I am not trying to denigrate your own experience. This is my own experience.

Again, this is an anomalous situation based on all the reviews for Claudia. However, this was my experience.

Regards.

You chose to write 9 paragraphs and not once during our convo did you ask me if I was ok.
I did go through an apartment move, and I did mention that I'm going through stuff, trying to sell my car at the same time.

I'm not going to defend myself, besides saying that I did cancel at 8am, for our 3pm appointment, due to me knowing that I was not mentally well.
You doing this, trying to discredit me, shows that the universe and my angels obviously protected me from seeing such, as you...
The first time you speak of, was last year. I was going through a rough time and told you so. Hence my move...
I'm sorry it didn't work out, but babe, this was not necessary.
If I did this all the time, I'd not be loved in the way that I am. Think about that.

Btw, you were never wrong and I don't expect any comment, whatsoever. That would be silly.
This is merely two adults talking about their experiences.

That said, You hurt me. You didn't need to tell the forum about my metal unwellness.
Go well.

Your very first post, and u decide to be a cunt about it. Every1 goes thru things in life, not all of us are as perfect as u Mr Peter. If I should ever cross paths with u........

My dearest Claudia, I'm so happy that u didn't hav the misfortune of meeting this piece of crap. Ur move meant u had to skip ur jhb trip, however I can't wait to meet u again. Ignore this stuk shit, ill call you early tomorrow morning skattie

Peter, Claudia is loved and respected by all.My advice, move on, don't try and bully her.After reading your post, I think most of the ladies are going to reject you.

@Peter918, I am not going to be as direct as shoeguy and Colt Python . I completely understand your frustration . no one wants to be ghosted 3 times even if each time was fully justified , but I am unclear what you were trying to achieve by making it public like this . What happened between you and Claudia should have been kept between you . This review ( which isn't actually a valid review as you never saw her) doesn't achieve anything

Dearest Claudia

In December , all of a sudden , i felt as if the world was crumbling around my ears.

I even posted about it.

The pressure of all uncertainties, the lock-down having nearly taken my business away from me( not of the Purple sort), the need to re-assess and find a new game plan, the sensual space flooded with so much choice and beauty making my space in it even more demanding and requiring a broader set of shoulders, my personal life under pressure with so many things needing attention.

I found myself floundering and had to remove myself for a few days. I did take requests but far and few between. I needed to breath.

The worst is that most people will want know and care to know is...

CLAUDIA GENTLEMEN'S DELIGHT

....who the person may be behind that pseudonym does not exist for them.

It is a difficult space to be in because the person u are is the business u are .

SHE is YOU

and

YOU is SHE.

There will be many times u shall be frustrated, worn out, feel lonely, cry and most of all...not understand how others do not understand where u coming from. It takes a broad set of shoulders to give so much of self and then hope it satisfies all, even in those times when u may need a little cuddling and understanding.

I send u all my strength and wellness and goodness and many tears and silly laughs and support.

Love you.

PS> this post is not meant to undermine the punters experience but, rather in support of what Claudia may be feeling and going through and can imagine, and know, sometimes it makes one come across as unprofessional BUT, one cannot not be human after all...like everybody else.

@ RussianBridgette, this is so insightful and so true. When starting seeing WG's , like most guys , i thought because i was paying for a service , that it's all about me .

I didn't want to to be the recipient of the negative things happening in the life of the person I was paying to be with . Very quickly I realized that for most women I meet , how I interact with them ( way beyond the physical ) and my empathy for their circumstances, good or bad, makes the difference between a good and great time with them .

I have recently been using a saying " I may forget what you said, I may forget what you did , but I'll never forget how you made me feel" because I think it applies both ways in this industry .

Absolute respect for each other irrespective of the circumstances is one of the most crutial things in this industry, as it is in life .

Having had the pleasure of meeting this lady in person and working with her, I can say for sure that if she cancelled or slipped up and missed a booking, it was genuinely because things got too much for her. She is not someone who disrespects others time and is uncaring. There are very few people that are as truly good and decent as she is.

Of course you feel disappointed and frustrated after this experience, no one blames you for that, but a post like this, even done tactfully, can be hurtful and damaging to the lady. There will be those who skim what your wrote and only see how she "stood you up" 3 times and not understand the circumstances, thus leaving them with the wrong impression of her. Meanwhile, posting this didn't make you feel any better did it? It didn't suddenly correct the situation so I am a bit confused what your intention was here as it benefits neither people involved.

@Claudia, I hope you are doing better and know that you have endless love and support from so many, reach out if you ever need too.

Dear All,

Thank you for all your comments on this thread.

Firstly, to Claudia - if I have hurt you by what I said, I apologise unreservedly. It is not and will never be my intention to knowingly inflict hurt or sorrow on anyone. If I have done so, please know that you are valued and respected by me.

Secondly, to shoeguy and Coltpython: thank you for your comments. While I do not see myself in the ways that you describe, I respect your views - even if they are at odds with how I see myself.

Thirdly, to lovetotravel6303 and Russian Bridgitte - thank you for your insights and comments. Your comments have given me food for thought.

To everyone here, the purpose of this forum is to share information in an honest and respectful manner in a way that builds up the community. Thank you for your views.

Go well.

@ claudia...

I truly admire you for not taking appointments when not 100% up to it..

It is unfortunate that that times coincided with times this gentleman wanted to visit.

But rather a complaint about not being able to accommodate than a complaint about bad services, I say.

You do you the way you see fit and in a way that has led to many many good reviews.

This to shall pass....
