Whatever your field is, I would be curious to know how many times other professionals have been asked this very question. Dear gas attendant, it is my birthday today, can you charge me less per liter or in total? Dear mechanic, it is my birthday today, can I get a discount on your time and/or car parts? Dear dentist, it is my birthday today... Dear cashier at the grocery store... Dear psychologist... Dear landscaper... Dear babysitter... ... ... ... Would you ask those people for a discount for your birthday? Why not? So why does it always seem acceptable to ask this famous question to SPs aka sex workers? Because restaurants give you a cake with a candle on it for your birthday? The best way to "have your cake and eat it too" is to go to a restaurant and then go see an SP! Additional Comments: I almost forgot... Happy Birthday to the OP!

to politely decline the request for an encounter, for whatever reason, please accept her decision politely. Please understand these decisions aren't made lightly and are the result of a number of considerations, often including but certainly not limited things such as... scheduling conflicts, personal reasons, communication styles, reference reports, posting style & history, a simple lack of chemistry... or a combination thereof. It's important to remember that a lady is balancing her requirement for income with her comfort level and her compatibility with suitors, and when the scale tips too far the wrong way, she is then faced with the delicate task of informing someone that they'd not be a good match. Interrogating a lady, insisting she provide reasons for her decision, & asking for reconsideration will rarely gain you ground, and will almost always result in a lady being very glad she made the aforementioned decision. It makes an already awkward situation even more unpleasant. Please know that a lady makes this decision carefully, and is considering your best interests as well as her own. Accept it graciously. Thank you :)

I really don't think you will have any luck on your search. May be if you had seen an SP fairly regularly then you might get some thing extra, like a slightly lower rate but highly unlikely. More like you would get a cupcake or cookies (both items I had received as birthday gifts) but that was only with SPs I had seen regularly over the past few years. Another question, is how were you planning on "proving" your birth date. To really prove the date you would have to show some id. The only reason I received my birthday cupcakes and cookies was that in previous meetings I had mention which month I was born. No exact dates just the general month. Hopefully, you really are looking to celebrate your birthday and are just trying to see if you can swing a "deal". Lots of SPs hate that stuff. I would recommend you play the long game and start seeing some of the fine and generous ladies here on CERB and see what happens in a year from now. Happy Birthday and good luck on your search.

With all the negativity happening all around us, I thought a thread to focus on the good and positive might be a good thing. So share those things that make you smile or that you are grateful for. These are not highlights but rather more simple things that perhaps you overlook but add to your day. When someone thinks of you and says hello The smell of fresh brewed coffee The funny things that children say as they figure out the world around them The ability to play music anytime, anywhere for any mood The first touch of sun on your skin after being indoors An unexpected picture posted online that makes you laugh, better if a snort! Homemade brown bread

I think the OP's original request/suggestion is not to 'wait til tomorrow' but to simply move on.

Client first time caller: Hi, I've never seen you before, but today is my BD and i'm looking to see if you do any Birthday specials. SP: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Like I haven't heard that one before. It's is second to the "I'm a student' (therefore i should have a discount) and close in line to "I'm a senior" (and therefore I should have a discount). " Here's how it really works. Client first time caller: Hi, i saw your ad, are you available on X at Ypm? SP: yes I am, thanks for calling, see you then. I have to ask, you have seen my rates yes? Client caller: Yes, it all looks great. It's my birthday, and I am planning this for a special treat for myself. SP: happy birthday, see you soon. OR Client 106th time caller: Hi, you available on X at ypm, it's my birthday and I'm looking to treat myself. SP: absolutely, see you then. And then sp proceeds to pick up something special for her long time regular, even if all it is is a cupcake with a candle.

Gawd - great idea in theory, but difficult to finalize. I would never want someone to approach me to barter my services. Period. If however I choose to ask my regular if he wants to barter with me, that would be my decision. I would never do it though. I would prefer to pay for things with cash. Easier Imo.

I don't offer birthday specials but once I have established regulars and they tell me it's their birthday, I will do something nice for them within our session. I think this is only appropriate if you know the person. How is an SP going to know it's someone's birthday? Are they going to show her their driver's license? I'm thinking probably not. Many people ask for discounts.. I'm a student.. okay, good for you but I charge equally to all my clients. A lot of entitlement these days imo. I hate to poo poo this idea and ruin the fantasy but this is our job and how we make our living. I've noticed lately that a lot of guys calling are expecting way less for than what we offer. We also have bills to pay. Would clients go to work for less than they want to be paid for? I highly doubt it. If I gave everyone a discount for whatever reason, I wouldn't be able to pay my bills.

My dogs and cats playing. Friends helping others Beautiful weather

Listening to my son playing guitar. Chatting for hours with a very special someone :))) receiving a random text saying "thinking of you" Special friend you can reach out too A very happy Bianca xxx

When one of the dog's, cat's or bunny comes up to you to play with you.

I have notice that it happen more lately that some gents have extreme reactions to our refusal to see someone Guys bringing pictures of the sps and went to the front desk and gave her room number to get kick out,contacted the landlord of the building to give them unit and advertise lady. Info ,treaths of bad reviews,harassments,insults,try to book under other numbers names This type of behaviors have increase the past few years.. Almost like the clients has no fear and feel completely empower of not leaving us the choice..Which is scary I think it's part of any human being to dislike been decline services,intimate,well rejected however we all need to understand that in such circumstance it should be accepted and move on as it's usually for the best interest of both parties VJ

- receiving a friendly email, a text or a PM from a SP ( eg. saying Hello) - at a time other than regarding a booking of an appointment - smelling the fragrance of flowers when stepping into the yards - seeing the pics of my favorite little doggie

Seems to me that some clients demand 100% satisfaction or else they consider they session a total failure and want their money back. These are the same goofs who waste time at the cashier because they want five cents off their potato or whatever. If you cannot allow that occasionally things don't work out then grow up. And if losing $200 or $300 is a financial disaster you shouldn't be seeing escorts.

wow really? this sure appears to me to be a vent .... aka dirty laundry... disguised as an inquiry about others' experiences. If I'm right, you're insulting our intelligence, it's rather transparent and against the rules of CERB.

I gotta stay away from these threads, they make me jealous! 2-3 times a year, I'd say. 2-3 times a week if you count my dreams. ;) Ah well, at least those times sure are memorable!

Well when I started it averaged one date a month. Because of personal circumstances in my life it is reduced to a date once every few months My days of disappointing encounters is long gone though. While many guys use recommendations as a guide on who to see, what I found works for me is when a lady I trust and respect endorses (if that's the right word) another lady. Also, I repeat with ladies I have seen and have a good time with, which all but eliminates disappointing encounter. I've found one trick to avoid a disappointing date...stick with the ladies from CERB. All my bad dates were from CL, Er*s, and other sites. The ladies on CERB have a board presence, profile, recommendations (sometimes) and so on. Anyhow, a rambling RG

I want to share with community as someone I find it quite funny Recently to try to pay my taxes which had hit me very hard this year.. I decide to trew some incentive specials on my Gfe sessions even overnights It's has Been few months I do this and for the first time yesterday someone call me stupid and told me that was ignorant as it doesn't make any math sense..That I must be that ignorant xxxxxxx Anyways..his logic was to calculate my half hour rate special+my hour special and because it didn't total my 1.5 total I'm an ass Now my logic when I did my specials was that guests would see how much discount they were getting on the actual fees not making math of Hh 1 and 1.5 and 2 Fixed the problem..I higher my HH fee discounted lmaol You would think that some people would be greatful on fees been more affordable than normally..And I think most around the country have been so far that why they have book and stay quiet. Tonight I have " potential client" Asked me how come it was 180 and now 190 for Hh I explained that I tried to accommodate to more people and be lower ..But it's a special and I dont have to do it..So I raise the Hh special to quiet those that will call me stupid ass,whore etc Lesson from this: Nothing good to say..don't lol I'm sure now many men will be upset at that fella for saying what he said Xox VJ

In this instance, MsSarah, "outing" refers to an SPs working identity being linked with her personal one, and her being "outed" as a sex worker in her personal life.

The OP is asking if a provider has birthday specials. He's not asking for a freebie. He has only 4 posts to his credit, so some allowance could be considered for the "newbie" factor. The beauty of this industry, is that each provider can choose to run his / her business exactly as it best suits him / her. Be it rates, screening requirements, services provided...or anything else. Consider for a moment, that the OP has perused the ads from our wonderful ladies, and is simply looking to save himself some time...because after all: We have ladies with long weekend specials http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191654&highlight=special We have ladies with special allowances for later bookings or overnight rendezvous http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191648&highlight=special We have ladies with specials of the day http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191639&highlight=special We have early bird specials, and specials for bringing wine http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191629&highlight=special We have month end specials http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191629&highlight=special We have specials to help pay for taxes http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191446&highlight=special We have pre-booking specials http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=191045&highlight=special We have specials for "$50 reduction for a rendez-vous confirmed before " deadline http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=190144 Clearly, specials are a common thing. So my question is this...why is it ok for providers to have specials, but frowned upon when men inquire about specials? IMO, the OP is not looking to negotiate a ladies rates, he is inquiring if a provider has a birthday special...nothing more. Either a lady has one, or she doesn't. I don't see why it needs to be more complicated than that. After all, cut him some slack...it's his birthday ;)

All of my best clients are CERB guys ;) BP did not work well for me at all since most of the men, not all - but most are looking for everything and anything at the most cost effective price-and the bs filled text messages that follow-such an annoyance. I can honestly say I met 2 nice guys from BP. I refuse to give any money to that mismanaged site that also has the worst customer service EVER.

Seeing the happiness in faces of my grandchildren. Seeing an ad that one of the special ladies here on Cerb that you have being flirting with is coming to PEI:)

Katherine (aka Cathy hfxdom) is a Halifax provider who passes through here sometimes, and on her most recent stop I made my very first appointment with her. She is only my second such encounter, and it's going to be very, VERY difficult for anyone else to top her. She was sweet, kind, extremely patient with a nervous customer, and more than willing to accomodate my desires. She shows genuine enthusiasm for what she does, and gave me enormous pleasure. Her massage talents are amazing. Lads, she's also HOT. Fit and hot and very enthusiastic. I can't say enough about her. She has pages upon pages of recommendations over at the NS board for very good reason. Treat her well and make some appointments so she comes back to our city more often. She definitely is worth the time. There can't be many out there this awesome.

You shouldn't approach seeing a SP on your birthday as a chance to get a "birthday special" Instead, especially if you have a lady you see regularly, you might want to spend a day or evening out with a lady to share your birthday with her...but because you know and like her and that her company would make your birthday special But a call out on CERB makes me think your looking for a birthday discount...don't be surprised if you get no ladies "jumping" at the chance, they could spend the time better with a client who pays the full donation Just my opinion RG

No! Titcoin!

I think it's totally fine if both parties are comfortable with it. What two people choose to exchange is entirely between them. After all, what's the difference between asking for $500, versus something you both agree is worth $500? Part of the trick, though, is agreeing beforehand on what's really worth $500, plus ensuring that Service B really does get performed following the delivery of Service A. There can be a lot of practical problems making service-barter work in real life. Currency is immediate and convenient, which is one of the reasons it's so popular in general. ;) Incidentally I voted "no opinion" because I don't think is a bad idea, nor a great idea, just a bit tricky and situational.

Love this chéri!! Keep your libido going not necessarily to have U spend money but just to be alive!! And possibly for a VERY long time love!!!! Barbara xxxooo

Hi there. I can see where you would get turned off absolutely. Most women in this business will use a sponge that time of the month while working. Sometimes it is quite effective, other times not. It works great for some women and not so great for others. I, myself have tried this method before, and did not find it helpful. So now, I opt to take that week off. As I would recommend to other ladies. Native tradition, this is supposed to be a sacred time, your moon time. So, for the women that are regulated, and know when it's coming, plan to take a break. You deserve it and probably need it. If you are working regularly and budget properly, saving for that rainy day, than a week off won't affect you. It's not much fun working anyways if you are crampy, bloated and irritable. Although this is the one time a month women are most horny. God has a funny sense of humour. My comment to the men reading this, please go easy on the ladies. It's a natural part of life. Maybe your service provider just checked into a prime location and is out $200 or $300 in hotel fees, and surprise she got it early, and has to make the most of it. I do agree with the fact that perhaps she can offer other services than full. I have, myself, done this when in that predicament; offering oral or a nice tantric massage is a great alternative to full service. Another quick note; this is a fetish for a few men, a turn on, although some men are shy to admit it. I had an old boyfriend that absolutely loved going downtown on me that time of month. I was weird about it at first. But of course, I want to do anything to please my men. And sure enough, I loved it. And we connected really deeply. I am not suggesting this as a marketing strategy, messing around with blood is very risky. But keep an open mind. Different strokes for different folks. Thanks for reading, Sylvia Star

This type of stuff happens all the time, I show my face yet people ask for full nude photos - not going to happen EVER. You offered them Skype as an option and that was not feasible for them. Sounds like pic collectors to me, however I could be wrong. Why not offer a social rate for any meet and greets that way your being compensated for your time and if they are serious about booking, they won't balk at this. Or like anyone else if they are not happy with how you do things and how you present yourself, they can seek other company - anytime you have to adjust your policies for anyone they fuck you over.

Well, that was a smashing experience. Jordan is a super friendly girl with a high sex drive. Definitely not a spinner type. But warm, welcoming, and accommodating. An orgasmic experience all around. The most fun I've had in a long time. Say no more....nudge nudge...wink wink...

Itotally agree .. in GTA there are B'day specials.. Ladies .. dont be so offended (pious)

I like Boomer (Hank) for being a helpful, generous and very patient friend.

You give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Charge a social fee if you're comfortable with that, otherwise, send them packing. They sound like WOTs (waste of time) to me.

my rates won't change on ITEX, I would receive the same number of dollars just in virtual format. I can then spend my ITEX dollars on services I would normally pay cash for.... car detaililng, spa services, hotel accommodations etc.. it's not a direct trade between two individuals, it's a trade into a virtual spending pool. It's a fabulous idea :D

If it were my birthday, I'd be offering my birthday special. A little nude dance, a little wine, a karaoke song maybe (Elvis: Viva Las Vegas, or Tom Jones - Green Green Grass of Home)

Super hot. Worth the call. She's outgoing, friendly, fun and very energetic. Will definitely be calling her again.

BITCOIN! 'Cause it's 2014, and no thread is complete without a Bitcoin reference. :)

True. Plus the need to spend time haggling every time you do it, since you can't have an up-front rate for your time if you don't know what you're going to be exchanging it for. I get the impression most ladies aren't fond of haggling.

I looked at the pics and I smell fake... be careful.

I saw her over a month ago. Pics are fake, which I don't understand as she is an attractive girl. Service was good. I would repeat.

I advertise on both, as well as here. I try to make a point of asking clients where they found my ad and most of the time it is bp and they just made the decision from there. If I was spending money to see a companion I would do more homework than that! There must be so many men out there getting ripped off or getting poor service.

What interest me to read is what the title says, example: "Look at my new pictures", "You should see my sexy bum", "Swallow", "I need you cum", "I want you in me", etc... I will tend to look at an ad if the lady is from my area, but I will also read it if I like reading her replies to any post on Cerb. Keep writing sexy titles and I will keep reading them.

From all the pages I have read after commenting I notice It's a torn between been honest vs fantasy land because we get compensate In an ideal world clients would be forward about having cold sores,genital warts or been not clean before and ladies would tell you when it's the time of the month,etc By revealing that, we crush the fantasy land of the provider that never have period,never shit,never sick always like sex regardless of hygiene,appearance,behaviors Bottom line each individual should be responsible of revealing their conditions on each side.. Does it happen all the time? No As much as some of you feel entitle to know when I will have my period which for me is 2days max and travel all the time but do take night off with Gf etc I had a past condition were I was pregnant and waiting to get surgery and end up bleeding I recently had a girl disclose what I said about myself to clients .from private lounge I had flood of clients texting me telling me they felt insecure to see me as I may be at risk due to condom breaking and end up pregnant regardless of plan b and be at hospital..That incident happened two years ago..yet I was questioned When the situation happened I was at hospital I did everything on my end to make sure I wasn't putting anyone at risk..The client did as well When I end up bleeding I wasn't suppose to..I took some time off to get an abortion which I wasn't treat properly and in a very demeaning way Not only I had to deal with lost income while I was in USA I was notify that they may have overlook and I was still pregnant..fast forward will all tests in USA and they weren't able to go forward I rack I huge medical bill(roughly 10k) I was brought back to canada where they operate me for my condition I also find very offensive on my end that someone would book and app and think I won't notice his cold sore or genital warts As for Greek people said it's normal to deal with it or expect it.. I do Greek and pegging and strongly disagree with this I do natural enema and I'm very anal about it that it's skeequy clean..I do expect same in return and the compensation for my time doesn't justify me dealing a lot of shit off your butt because YOU inquire about ass play This activities involve risks on both end and I agreed to it and fully aware of it Personally I find it offensive to be ask to be the first,that you ask me if I'm on my period or have any diseases,how many times I fuck a day I am not judgmental who come to see me and don't interrogate them that way. Yet I have seen quite frustrating situation where someone want all is money back because I decline service as he had a cold sore and try to sneak it in Not only he book a time that I could give someone else but expect me to perform activity at risk as he has a condition and feel he should take the whole donation back because I disagree Full disclosure should be on both end..it's only fair ( mean what you and your wife do etc) Anyway like roamyguy I'm a bit rambling but I think you know what is my post is about VJ

Very catchy original unique ad titles...they draw the reader to the ad They set the tone for the rest of the ad and tell the reader who is the lady writing Some are so unique the title is almost synonymous with the lady's name...you can just see the ad title and know without looking any further who wrote it A lady's writings should reflect who she is And when the lady includes a photo from her album in her ad post that just adds (pardon the pun) to the ad A rambling RG

I hope the antis keep up with this. It shows their true colours. Plus, this is nothing new. They've been at this since the 70's. I've been called a traitor to the female sex, a collaborator, in collusion with the patriarchy, a racist, supporting colonialism, a liar, a member of the pimp lobby and just a plain old whore. The best course of action is DO NOT ENGAGE. Ignore and block.

For CERB Goddess Of The Day today I once again have to nominate Emily Rushton. Emily as you may all know, has made many contributions to this board. She is a cornerstone of the CERB community and a valued member here. Just her presence on CERB and her contributions is enough reason to nominate her as CERB Goddess Of The Day Emily is also, well to put it mildly, a wonderful companion, down to earth, a sense of humour, beautiful, classy and so much more ;-) She respects the gentlemen she sees as much they respect her. Just look at the recommendation threads, she has a lot of admirers (me being one of them) She also doesn't take her clients for granted. You may notice after she tours a city, she writes a thank you post on CERB. Not to get clients. After all her tour is over. But to show appreciation to those gentlemen who made her tour a success. That shows class, and manners, the true signs of a lady But my reason for nominating Emily today is more personal. Life, ok more accurately family, threw me a curve, a devastating curve. One which put me in a dark tunnel (sorry for metaphors here) I'm still in that tunnel, but some light is at the end now. Although some serious damage has been done. (close to estranged from family now) But Emily has been there, managing to keep my spirits up, when things were down. She is more a friend, than my family is family This accurately reflects my sentiments towards Emily And Emily as you might gather, is the person who kept my spirits up, and kept a smile on my face Emily, you are a bright light, and I consider myself a very lucky man for having met you. And you certainly deserve, in my opinion, to get nominated (ok for the fourth time by me ;-) ) for CERB Goddess Of The Day Here is Emily's profile http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=22822 And Emily's website http://www.emilyrushton.com/ Although Thank You doesn't quite cover it, Thank You Again Emily RG

In a store today shopping I saw staff packing up air conditioners. "Big sale?" I asked. "No, just out of season, need to make room for car shelters and snow shovels."

You could set a fee for this that if you want to, comes off the session fee. or 50% of it is deducted from the session fee. YOu have to keep in mind that you cannot meet in a public place and discuss rates and services anyway, so if that is their intention, you can simply decline by pointing that it is considered 'public solicitation' which you and they would be guilty of it you agreed, and the discussion took a turn towards fees or services. A few things come to mind with these kinds of enquiries. One has been mentioned: the picture collector. They want all your info, but provide none. They want a face pic, then arrange for you to show up somewhere, they know what you look like, but you don't know if they are watching you from somewhere, what you drove, etc. Don't do it. The other thing that I suggest is it is supposed to be a couple. You have to speak (on the phone in other words) to both halves of this couple. you have to verify that it is actually a couple. You have to verify that she really is on board with this and not just 'going along'.
