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!

A few years back I did see one of my regular SP's on my birthday. And I did get a little surprise present waiting for me when I got there (nothing service related though). Just something she'd gone out of her way to get for me which touched me. During our session she did fulfill a particular fantasy of mine but she would have done that anyway. My Bday had nothing to do with it. Here's the thing though. When booking I never mentioned it was my birthday nor did I ask for any special treatment. She knew it was my birthday because there was one of those "Happy Bday Castle" threads started that day here on cerb....so a couple hours before our appointment she went out and got a little something for me. Personally, and these are just my feelings, no judgments here, but as an adult I would feel very uncomfortable, asking for, or expecting any kind of special treatment on my Bday, I stopped doing that when I was about 12 lol. I wouldn't ask that from anyone from family, friends, or coworkers, let alone SP's. Posted via Mobile Device

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 ;)

My grand mother aka Mami is on last days of leaving..2or3days max He reason I posted in here is she was one if the few that Tap me on the shoulder and said " good for you" she accept what I do regardless of her generation which is now 90years old.. I'm upset but I think at the point she is she must go She saw her mom on some in time she wasn't" there" and was told it will be okay I know it's the best for my Gand Ma aka Mami but I have an hard time to wrap my head around it

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.

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 :)

Good catch Meaghan! Yeah. Four posts in two years, still a moderated account.... I think we should all do ourselves a favour and let this thread die. Castle pretty much summed it up in his post above!

I suggest you wait until Carrie Moon travels to Halifax this Fall and get the "real" deal. http://www.carriemoon.com/

Some ladies who come to mind are: Katherine Midnite-Massage Watch for ladies who are touring such as: Bianca Jaguar Emma Alexander Miss Jessica Lee If you venture north to New Brunswick, there is: MeaghanMcLeod in Saint John Sophia in Fredericton

It is against CERB rules for clients to solicit providers with a barter proposal or negotiate their posted rates. It is not against the rules for a lady to advertise a barter proposal. Then the guys can respond accordingly because she initiated it. Carrie Moon had an ad once bartering for reduced rate on her services if someone would come and shovel her driveway.

You list on your profile that your birthday is September 29, 1985. It's still August, so not sure which is your actual birthday. Just sayin.

Yes I did not word that properly at all! :whipping:

Interesting to hear these stories from the lady's point of view. There are lots of posts by these guys. They think they know everything! How many customers a lady sees, how much she should charge, whether she pays taxes, her annual income...they claim to know all this but have never met her. I'm saving my pennies and counting the days til your return.

^ I think a few gents would... If I knew a particular SP had a bday and I was planning to see her, I would have no problem giving a gift or extra money on top of the regular donation.

I am a woman of my word and those specials will apply for future dates. I truly enjoy your company :)

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.

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.

Ok -- there are a few things that jumped out at me as I read this thread, both the OP post and the comments. 1. A woman needs to disclose when it's that time of the month? That seems awfully private, and extreme. 2. Women in this industry REGULARLY, and SUCCESSFULLY, work through their period with things such as sponges or soft cups. It happens ALL the time. 3. How mortified this poor woman must have felt by the completely immature way you reacted. Clearly the sponge became dislodged. And you know what? Menstruation is a fact of life. She didn't know that happened, or mean for it to. She's likely worked through her period COUNTLESS times with no issue. 4. Asking women to not work during their period is ridiculous. 5. Taking the donation and insulting her further by leaving $40?!!?!! It was an unfortunate incident that wasn't planned. It was dealt with poorly by you, and that poor woman wasn't given a chance to correct the situation -- and then ALSO had to lose out on her pay for that booking? Complete and utter disrespect. SO much wrong with this!!!!!!

to decide on who to see next. There are so many new and beautiful women entering the business, both as SP's and MA's, that it is getting difficult to decide who to see :). I've met many new women lately and have been treated to fantastic experiences. I want to repeat with most of them, plus I like to repeat with many of the one's that I have already met in the last couple of years also. But there is only so much funds and time available. With bill-36 looming, it may be good to meet more new women now, so that if the bill is pass, you will have a larger list of women to choose from that you have already seen :) So many choices and so many wonderful women of Cerb. It is so hard to choose now. ? Decisions, Decisions :) What are you feelings on this ? I bet you thought I was going to be talking about something else. lol :)

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

It has happened.. today I received a text from a guy's wife. I do not know who this person is.. she didn't tell me and I didn't ask. I don't know if I actually saw him and all I know is they was a texting history between us. Obviously she found it and saw the texts. I NEVER put the address in a text message. Never! I know I am probably preaching to the choir here but I will say it anyways. After you have seen an SP, PLEASE delete the texting history from your phone. I do not need these kinds of problems and its one of the BIGGEST reasons why I keep a separate incall location apart from my own residence and do not give out my incall address by text. I have to tell each and every client this when they ask why I will not text the address which seems so convenient for them. Then it actually clicks. If this sensitive information gets into the wrong hands like it did today, it could have caused a lot of problems. When a client coming to see me and asks for the address via text, I do not know the person who is texting me and like the situation above, if it were to get into the wrong hands, it wouldn't be pretty. Secondly, a random texter is a stranger to me and I am aware of all the tricks someone will try to play if they want to remain a secret agent type. I am onto all of it. I am paranoid when it comes to my safety and have turned down many appts because I got a bad vibe or they didn't follow my protocol when following up on meeting in person. Needless to say I am very annoyed with this unknown person at the moment and their lack of discretion which has ruined my day. I do not need this b.s. or some angry wife telling me I have ruined someone's marriage. She got an earful from me and I told her that the fact that her husband is contacting ladies is something she should talk to him about. Trying to put the onus on the SP is just a way to blame someone and I'm not having any of it. Someone else's marriage is none of my business and it is not my concern. We are offering a service. I don't judge clients in regards to their marital status but people should be discrete about in their own actions. She did back down after I became snarky with her and I think she realized she shouldn't push it with me. I will not back down. I don't care if it's someone's wife attempting to harass me because it's not my problem. Even if I knew who this person was, I wouldn't admit it. I would never give up a client because I am discrete to a fault. Unfortunately this individual didn't do the same for me. It is the client's responsibility to get rid of any info or dealings he has had with an SP. The SP should not have to suffer as a result because a person was careless. I am very upset about this. Now I have to ramp up my protocol even more. I am experienced in dealing with these situations but they are few and far between. Thank-you to the gentlemen who do take the time to delete any contact with an SP and cover their tracks. Please delete texting and browsing history off computer or cell phone to avoid getting burnt! Also, think twice about asking for the address by text. Lastly, delete it off your GPS. It will save us all a lot of trouble in the end.

I used to like running around and trying as many different things as I could. The thrill of the chase motivated me. Desire was a rush, having something was not. Now I prefer a very very few that know me and my likes/dislikes and vice versa.

It goes in waves for me. Sometimes I will go a few months without seeing an SP for no particular reason other than I just don't feel like it. Other times I will hobby several times in a month.

Couple ladies I have yet to meet, but there is a certain comfort and enjoyment in meeting a certain regular lady. The excitement isn't the surprise in meeting someone new. The excitement is in meeting a lady and friend after a period of time not seeing her. There are just things shared between us that can't be shared with someone you don't know. A certain magic comes from having shared memories As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder LOL A rambling RG

Oh ya. . Is harder and harder... I like that word hehe ;-)

I think bartering can be a very slippery slope and one that needs to be approached with the utmost sensitivity for the SP. I am very uncomfortable with bartering because it has a tendency to set a precedence. IF the SP is the one to suggest it, as others have said, and it is on her terms (but beneficial for both) then it can work. That being said, I prefer to avoid it. I've been burned in the past, and I did stop seeing a client who tried to use bartering as a negotiation tool.

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to make it this time :( Thank you Mistert for keeping a spot for me. I will definately try to make it for the Chrismas social... I'm gonna miss you! Bianca xxx

I sure am ;) can't wait Xo

Birthday special, no. Free birthday session yes. All you need to do is see me a minimum of every two weeks for at least a year and then when your birthday rolls around, I will give you a free session. If you start now, I can do something for you next year. :icon_razz:

In bed listening to the sound of thunder. I love it!

And no discount would be needed to get my attention...I thoroughly enjoyed our past date VJ. It was even better than expected (and I expected a great encounter) and a memorable date Thanks Victoria RG

I think if two consenting adults come up with an agreement, then no one else needs to concern themselves with it. The same sort of logic for cash would apply here obviously - an SP/MA can set their requirement, and it would be up to the client to decide if he/she wants to engage in that agreement.

Wasn't meant to be a vent, reading it now it sure sounds like, and I didn't mean to insult anyone and I will never mention the names of those providers. I'm more trying to make the point that I run of bad encounters, and that's why I hadn't hobbied in over 14 months, and I Only see ladies from cerb. Posted via Mobile Device

Spelling etc as ect - it drives me bonkers

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

Starting off a client/SP relationship by arguing is pretty stupid. A session is going to be way better if the lady is ready and willing than if whe is feeling pressured and uncomfortable. Seriously guys if she says no just wait til tomorrow or whenever. It's in your best interest!

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

I still haven't the faintest idea what I'm going to do when I grow up.

I couldn't agree more. We seem to have an ever growing issue in today's world of accepting the word "no". People assume that they flash money and everybody should be at their beck and call. This business is like many other service businesses out there. Just because we advertise a service doesn't mean everyone gets to have us at a moments notice. And there are certain times when a potential client just doesn't "feel" right. I get it in the business I am in too. I talk to someone about doing their plumbing job and get a feeling that they will be the type that I have to chase payment for or the job is just too much trouble and not worth the ensuing headaches. They, however, act like 3 year olds who can't have candy while in WalMart with mommy. Back to you ladies, you have every right to refuse service to anyone for whatever reason you want. Guys need to understand that and move on. And no, you do not need to provide your reasoning. The only thing I would want in that situation if Iwas being refused is courtesy of a speedy reply and a politely worded refusal. Nothing more.

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

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

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

Incidentally, part of my premise was that the SP was interested in doing this in the first place (which Layah seemed to be saying). As you and RG touch upon, no client should be introducing barter as a negotiating tactic. (Or negotiating at all.) "Hey, I got this '79 Ford Pinto..." "I'm really ace with a Bedazzler; I could add studs and rhinestones to change your wardrobe from dull to daring!" Ew. Stay classy, my friends! ;)

I believe, press on the word you want to copy for a second or two, press the copy button and then press again on the location you want to put the word, sometimes the word Paste will appear, press it. That should be about it... I'm using android as well.

Slow cooker beef ribs:) And pleased to share with some friends that are visiting tonight:) Sauce homade BBQ sauce, cooked over 6 hours, fall off the ribs! Beef Ribs are farm fresh:) Baby carrots, fresh from the farmer market, Rice ( ooopsy, package and microwave) lol need time to host too, lol

You basic understanding is accurate and this is a really good question. Thank you for asking. I believe playing during a period changes the risk factors negligibly when handled correctly. Periods can cycle anywhere from 14 to a 40 day cycle, lasting 1 to 14 days and the flow varies depending on the woman's hormone cycle. Some women cramp, some don't. For some, sex is intolerably painful during menses, for others it relieves cramps. Tampons, pads, keepers and cups can be used when not having sexual intercourse but sponges can used when playing. Simply put, the sponges act like tampons without interfering with penetration. If men would be more open minded to using a dental dam and play safely then this would be a moot conversation. For me the bottom line is the only responsible play utilizes barrier methods for all acts that have the potential for the exchange of bodily fluids. If a man balks at using a dental dam but insists on daty with a woman knowing that she is a fertile, healthy potentially menstruating woman, then he assumes the risk that she may in fact be menstruating, getting ready to menstruate so the actual act could bring it on or she could have just ceased bleeding and there may still be blood traces hiding in her uterus that could be released during the function of lubrication during a rendezvous. I think that heterosexual men need to understand the amazing biology of the female reproductive cycle so for more information, those with more questions can further research it online... cat

Ah... An early birthday present. Please save a spot for me. Cash will be delivered as soon as I receive instructions!

I hope she reports the theft directly to the ad site admin. That is enough to get some advertisers blocked from posting (the thieves, not Maraena of course)

IMO... what makes CERB great is that is not just a website.., is that it is a COMMUNITY before anything... where people share Opinions.. and sometimes they may differ one from the Other but where everyones respects one another!
