Just a note to thank you all for the kind wishes, I too will miss him. He left me with a note to thank a number of people, but I have to convince the funeral director it's ok to dress tom up in those bloody pants, his pink golf shoes and mauve and pink shirt. Plus his 1iron, and a bottle of Glenmorangie 25 year old single malt which I have to get this morning. Never shy was he? Thank you for being so nice. Charles

Although in person we never met, I've seen and heard it all.... the humour, laughter, snide remarks, he never seemed to fail.... to see the funny side of life, even in the darkest hours of his life. A man who saw life for what it was, a joy to be taken by the short and curly's and taken for a ride. Tom was one of the first people to welcome me on this board. I have followed almost all of his postings, and his quick-witted banter in answers to some postings. Most of it made me laugh. But when I got to the postings where he describes his illness, it made me really sad. The fact that this man has a sense of humor, and a sex drive to the nth degree to the very end........makes me severely happy :-) I can just imagine him, looking around the room for camel toe, and for anyone that is willing to give him a show. Good man, Tom ;-) He graced us with his presence on this board. Gave advice where it was needed, and a telling off where it was definitely needed. His battle with this terrible infliction he faced head on, and didn't let it stop him from being who he is. An amazingly strong person. No one should stop living their life the way they want to lead it, just because of an infliction. Albeit this infliction has an end that is not favorable, Tom let us into that very personal side of his life. For that, I am grateful to him to have been privileged enough to be a part of it. Tom, you made my year on this board immensely satisfying. Your welcoming words were greeted with happiness. I smile and laugh at your wit, and can see that you are a good and decent person. Carry that on to the next life, I, for one, want to meet you on the other side ;-) I cannot say that I am looking forward to your last posting, as it means that you are gone. When that fateful time does come, I will raise my glass of rare single malt scotch to your memory, shed a tear or two with friends, and think fondly of your kind words to me. Be peaceful my friend, bless you for everything that you gave me here.

With heavy heart I grieve today I've learned my friend has passed away... Some have know him better, I just for awhile But everyday I knew him, he always brought a smile I knew him by his given name as he knew me by mine Our talks I'll cherish deeply and remember for all time He held amazing courage not even adversity could break So I hope for him a reward, a place of peace in which he'll awake Where he'll drink whiskey, play golf or with a pretty girl or two... Enjoy it there Tom and now may only happiness find you I'll miss you here however But will remember you in my heart forever

My family has a tradition of raising a glass of single malt to welcome a new baby into the world - to 'wet the baby's head' we say. I will do the same thing to thank and celebrate Tom's life. He has traveled his full circle and will continue to in our hearts. You are so kind to allow us this opportunity to celebrate a great friend and wonderful man. Jim

That is Tom, he told me he was going to do that! My last time with Tom, was not long ago. I specifically made a trip to Ottawa just for one last time just as friends. We chatted about what matters in life, lessons he wanted to share with me. We held hands, massaged each others hands and feet. We shared tears. It was difficult to see him leave that day as I knew it was the last time I would hear his voice calling me " kiddo" . The world has lost an incredible person today, but his influence and laughter will go on forever. I am still absorbing this all, and well cant believe there will be no more thanks on my posts, no more guest book signing, no more picture comments from one who always would do so. It feels already lonely without him. I will have my single malt tonight, and as promised, placing a golf ball on my shelf for him ( we said if he can in the afterlife, he would pop in and knock it off my shelf) lol. To his family and loved ones. Allow yourself to take time to heal from this grief, and then celebrate his wonderful life! I wish you all have peace with this, but will take time. I feel for your loss.

Even good reviews can contain lies and embellishments. Some people use a review to boast or just to write their own fantasies. The reviewer is not always intent on describing what actually happened. Don't take anyone's word about what a provider offers but the provider's own. Don't assume that anything you read - good or bad - reflects anyone's actual experience. Reviews can be taken under consideration when seeing someone, but personally, I don't think they should be a deciding factor. They are too unreliable.

I've never been very good with words when someone passes, mostly because it takes me a few days to accept it and then the words just come out. This time is a bit more difficult because I never met Tom or communicated much with him however, the fact that I never met him doesn't make any less difficult to realize he is not around us anymore. I do not drink so I will not be doing any drinking to honour him but I have and will keep praying for him. As I said I'm not as good as words as the others so I borrowed a message from someone else for Tom ... I also want to offer my condolences to all of you who had the opportunity to meet him and of course to his family too. Rest in Peace Tom.

Got to LOVE Monte Python! Decided, like many before me, this song will be played as the 6 carry me out to the hearse. So to my friends and those who have followed this journey over the past 2 years, the journey is basically at an end. I am getting moved to Kitchener area on Friday to a respite facility where the pain will be medicated stronger than can be done at home. My memory took a rapid turn for the worse on the weekend, and I passed out from pain a couple of times. Probably have no more than 10 - 20 days max before my ashes go onto the driveway....I mean golf course! KW is closer to most of the family and it will make it easier on them. I have had a lucid day and a half, where I sent personalized notes of thanx to some of the very special people I have met, had decidedly naughty conversations with and with those who I have not been able to visit. I am sure I have missed quite a few, and I apologize to them. sigh, so many camel toes and just not enough time!!!!! I have sent a note to organ transplant folks to use my tongue in case anyone wants it. I want to thank you all again for all for the notes and emails sent, it helped me get through the shitty days and I really appreciated it. If I am not too drugged tonight, I will try and get on chat. After Friday, if you want to chat, please send me a note to the gmail address, as it may be more discrete for me to look at. So I will not be attending the next Cerb Spring Social, but I hope you all have naughty fun, end up laughing at all the stupid things I have said and done, and end up with mighty hangovers!!! As previously stated either my brother or a very good friend of mine will come on and let you know how far I got. I will get to the Super Bowl, but not the Masters! Have a shot at the bar in my memory! And when you hear Monty Python being played, smile and think of me. See you on the other side. Peace Tom TheLiquor

I feel for your friend, but it's not just this biz. With Yelp, Google, etc., the damn net lets anybody slam the fcuk out of you and there's almost siht all you can do about it. For any of us in business for ourselves, it can be a royal pain in the asre. Good sites will let you reply to customer complaints, and it's better to reply wisely than to not reply at all.

Blood pressure meds can impact testosterone. As this seems to be impacting in different ways I would definitely talk to your doctor about what you're noticing. Perhaps you need a different type/kind of med or something else working in conjunction. Most Doctor's are very open to testing and such and if yours happens to not be, push them. They are there for YOUR quality of life and if they still fight you, try to locate a better doctor. Once meds come into play you have to listen to your body's signals and not just accept side effects. This is no different then women taking birth control. Our body chemistry's are unique and we have to find the right meds for it. Good luck!

if a lady has 'no negotiating' on her ad/page/whatever, then it's not respectful at all to ask, at any time! If a certain lady that you want to see is out of reach of your pocketbook, then save up and see her when you have the ability to do so. The downturn in the economy has nothing to do with (what I quite frankly call rude) negotiating for a lower rate. What a lady advertises is her right to ask for. If you believe a lady is worth the amount she is asking for, then save your money, and go less often! Specials are just that, specials, not to be asked for at all times. An example I had recently was an ad that stated for certain dates I was reducing the amount, and ONLY for those dates. What did I receive? All sorts of calls (after the fact) stating, 'oh but you advertised at xxx amount' (4 days later!). simply put, some 'gentlemen' always want a 'bargain'. A lady advertises what she fully believes she is worth. You wouldn't go to a car dealer for your vehicle and state, 'oh, but you advertised this vehicle at xxx amount last year, why can't I get it for that amount?' Or would you go into Gucci looking at a $4000 suit and say ' but Sears has suits for $400, why can't I get my suit here for $400?' Probably not, the salesperson would probably throw you out on your backside! If the downturn in the economy has affected your pocketbook, as it has for most of us, then save your money for the lady of your choice and give her what she is asking for. Negotiating is rude, and it's against the rules on this board, if I remember correctly. You might not see the lady as often as you would like to, but you will receive quality time with her, no matter what the cost. Negotiating just looks bad, and makes some ladies feel as though they are not worthy.

not sure if this has been posted before. it speaks winter perfectfly

If I'm in the mood to even reply to reduced rates, the conversation goes something like this. Him hey baby, u so fly. How much? Me thank you. My rate is $X. Him I only have $X. Me oh, you want the Pw experience. Him oh, what's Pw experience? Me the Pissed Wife Experience. You come over, I'm in my baggy flannel pjs and hand you an infant in dirty diapers. Dr. Phil is playing on the TV, and I keep the remote. I disappear for a while then come out dressed to the nines. You think wow, she's hot. I then put on my coat and tell you I should be back by closing time and have fun baby boy. That's if I'm feeling like replying. However, most times I ignore your calls. For those guys that post things like "anyone heard from X? She doesn't answer my texts," this might be a clue if you tried to negotiate. After all, it doesn't hurt to ask right?

Ladies, I know a lot of us have the "rates are non-negotiable" disclaimer on our websites but I think we should edit it to: "I will be happy to negotiate a new rate with you only when you are offering above and beyond what I have already listed on my site. Otherwise, thank you for your interest and good luck in your search."

Hey all, just wanted to say hi. I am super new to this whole scene, but am so glad I found this board as I have no clue where to start. So many of the ladies on Backpage seem too good to be true, and now I can atleast see who is worth seeing and who isn't. So does anyone have any suggestions for a new guy? Gina, Kaylee kisses , Lynn and Scarlette-Jo have all caught my eye. I know they are so different but all look so hot in their own way! Any help would be much appreciated!

"If I were 60-something I'd chaulk it up to age, but geez I'm 40-something" Hey :) I resemble that remark lol. Over 60 and luckily no issues here. See your Doc and talk about the meds and discuss your concerns about the crashing libido. It could be other lifestyle stuff as well. Peace MG

Hey, I haven't experienced low testosterone but I can tell you a few remedies/supplements that can help with increasing it. If you visit your local GNC you can get a supplement specifically called ArginMax which helps boost the nitrates in the body as well as testosterone or they also have a Vitapak monthly supply for mens health called Mega Man Vitality and you essentially get a multi-vitamin, saw palmetto, omega 3-6-9, and a mens virility pill in there. It is a good well rounded product that I have been taking for a few years to help promote good health in men.

Personally I don't use reviews at all in deciding who to see. That's because I'm on a recommendation board, not a review board ;-) And for me, recommendations don't play a part in who I'll see. Well except for feedback from a trusted companion. If she says this lady you'd like that I listen too. Why you may ask. That lady has been with me intimately. She knows my tastes if you will, and whether a lady and I would connect With that said, I know a lot of guys do use recommendations and I respect that. So when deserved, and most of my encounters the ladies deserved a good recommendation. So I do write them. But no one should expect that if they book with a lady based on a recommendation, they will have the same encounter. No two encounters are the same. Each date is unique and special. Even a repeat encounter with the same lady will be unique, not the same as previous encounters But as much as I don't use reco's myself I do write them. I don't want too be just a consumer of information on this board, I hope I'm a contributor too ;-) Just my honest opinion here. Sometimes a guy may have an encounter with a lady and there is no chemistry. Is that a reason for writing a negative review or no recommendation. No. If the lady was a professional companion, and did everything "right" she is deserving of a recommendation. It's just a case of two people not clicking and that in and of itself is not a reason for negative reviews. Any more than the lady blacklisting him, and putting him in the Ladies Only Section. Not everyone will have chemistry with everyone, and that's not right or wrong, it's just life. But a recommendation or review is just one man's opinion of his encounter with a lady. Remember a recommendation comes from, really a "board handle" which brings with it some anonymity. Some recommendations/reviews are honest, some are bashes, and some absolute works of fiction (more a case of the on line version of a guy bragging in a locker room) Recommendations are but one tool a gentleman can use in deciding who to see. I also look at board presence (posts) PM's and EMails. But at the end of the day, a first date with a companion is a blind date...the ultimate blind date. And both the man and woman are seeing someone for the first time, someone they don't know till they meet A rambling. Hope it makes sense RG

Sorry your friend had to experience that, but sadly, it happens. Many sites allow negative comments, without knowing their legitimacy and many girls will see clients that have treated others poorly, as long as they treat them well. This gives some up to no good, ammunition. But I think most men can read between lines and realize, in most cases, when someone is being spiteful, especially if they post details.

It happens everywhere, either a bad review or no review. Just because someone may not have any reco's does not mean that she/he is not a good provider. It just means that perhaps he/she does not allow reviews to be posted, or the gentlemen/ladies seen are not willing to place a reco. Bad reviews are just that, bad news. Could be revenge, or could be legit. Use your gut instinct and useful tools such as tineye and Cowboy's diary for info. If your gut is telling you no, then go with it.

I don't believe that it is a matter of weather or not they can afford it in a lot of cases. I know many people who are simply proud of their ability to negotiate a deal in all situations. They brag about it to their friends when they beat people down on price. It doesn't matter what the price is to begin with, it's about pushing it further. You could be asking $20 and they would automatically offer $15. Some people feel some sort of twisted pride from it. I'm sure that isn't everyone, but I have come across many people in my life that would fit this description.

Just go and try it out yourself. Only one word. Vibe is Great :)

Racism? Native isn't a bad word?

While I have never negotiated with a lady as I do agree with Christy that this hobby is a "privileged" one in the sense that it is not financially feasible for everyone, I can understand why some feel the need to negotiate. Financial hardship. But by the same token, if it is just not doable for you, then why put yourself under more strain? A suggestion that is a win win for all parties is, instead of booking for this amount of time that you cannot afford, book for an alotted time frame that you can afford.

No, no lambasting at all -- I'm right there with you in noticing that sometimes the filter has unintended consequences and catches perfectly innocuous expressions because some piece of them triggered the filter. I think it's partly a case of the mod's filter design erring on the side of caution, because the potential downside of getting it wrong is so absolute. And partly it's just a filter over-reach that the mod might fix if you let him know about it. I gather from other posts on this subject that innocent word combinations can be allowed, if the mod is aware of them to flag them to the system. The filter is definitely smarter now than it was when it first kicked in. I'll disagree with you that it's "blind" censorship at work here though -- just censorship that needs glasses, and is still working to find just the right prescription. ;)

I recently had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of knowing Miella, and I can confirm every word that Gspotter has said. Gents, anyone who is skeptical about Miella, she is the REAL DEAL. She looks BETTER than her online pictures, is as sweet and honest in the flesh, any of us can describe with any ammount of words. A Quality escort here guys! Thanks for the review Gspotter, really helped me to make up my mind about choosing Miella. I will post my own review as soon as I can, I'm new here to and just waiting for non-moderated status to post more!

I would say i would be happy to negotiate with someone who actually understands what negotiation is: it means you offer me a lower rate and I offer you less time/services. All too often the haggler is only interested in getting a lower rate, and offers absolutely nothing in exchange to get a lower rate. Some do not have a 45 minute rate, I do, however if I did not and someone thought the hour rate too high, then a proper negotiation would be to ask me can i do 45 minutes at a rate lower than the hour, and more than the half hour. Of course, why not, you are attempting to actually compromise and come up with a solution agreeable to both of us. however if i have found the majority of hagglers want to get the hour session at the half hour rate, and make sure that not only do they get what is normally offered, but additional services as well. The first thing I think of when someone is about to offer me less than what I quote, is that he will be one of those. If you want to negotiate go ahead, but keep in mind that negotiators and hagglers are never considered good clients, or valued regulars. If you do not mind being on their short list of people they would automatically choose not to see if anyone else contacts them in the meantime, then go ahead and dicker down the rate. If you think you are going to be welcome for repeat visits at the haggled down rate, you will be sadly mistaken Expect to be shuffled out the door without a end of session shower. Expect to see yourself going in for the hour, but door to door you are at 45 mnutes. Expect that, because that is actually what you paid her for, a lower rate = 45 minutes of her time. or 20 minutes if paying a reduced rate on a half hour session. escorts have ways of making sure you get what you pay for, one way or the other. Be wary of the ones who agree to a lower rate, it is extremely likely they are agreeing because the main thing some want from a haggler is to separate him from his money for his disrespect. if he feels shortchanged by the experience, that is entirely on him. Hopefully he will have learned his lesson by his own mistakes.

While I certainly agree that we should not negotiate i'm not sure it's fair to paint all men who use BP as bottom feeders... You are probably right that it attracts a higher percentage of less than desirable clients but it is also used by decent men especially in smaller markets where the main advertising venue for touring ladies is BP.

Great Post Emily... It is fair to say that participation in this hobby is expensive... in order to engage you need to have a fair degree of disposable income or at the very least be a very good money manager. The problem is not really what the cost of the service is because that is really set by the market... someone sets a price and hopes there is a willing purchaser if they attract enough customers to meet their business need than I guess the price is right. The fact that I may not be willing to pay the price asked by a particular business does not mean that the price is wrong or too expensive it probably just means it is too expensive for that individual. As was said by a previous poster you look at what you can afford or are willing to pay... this is not a necessity it's a luxury service and an extremely personal one at that. When I was growing up my parents always told me that in life you get what you pay for... well in my experience in this industry I can only tell you that I have always felt I got more than my moneys worth. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Emily J, this is a wonderful post. Swapping industries as you read it works perfectly. I'm not aware of any circumstance in which that which is the point to this community can be considered a necessity. We (the clients) do this because we want to, not because it is required. Yes, I agree that sometimes the drive to make an arrangement can be pretty insistent but that still leaves it as a "want", not a "need". If we (the clients) want to enter this world and make arrangements, we do so knowing the cost is what it is and it is unseemly and demeaning to both parties to insist on trying to make it otherwise. For myself, the "negotiations" take place in my head before I make contact. Something along the lines of "Oh, this person looks interesting. Hmm. It will cost this much. More than I care to spend at the moment. Ah, this person seems intriguing, too. And at a cost with which I'm comfortable." And a text, phone call, or PM as appropriate goes out. From that point, the only financial discussion is confirming that the cost is what it is. Haggling should only take place at garage sales and the like. My two bits worth...

There is a new book coming out..... look in the Fiction section. Joy Smith is retiring and writing a book. So it will be kinda like "Blah Blah Blah" Translation. Title "Joy's Load of Crap" Story line "See Joy Run" The End So she doesn't have to deal with any repercussions from her lies and disregard for other's opinions and write a book on most likely gov't funding....

SO happy you enjoyed your time and this is a lovely post. Just a suggestion (based on your comfort) you may want to add this to the recommendation section as I'm sure Miella would appreciate the lovely comments but other hobbyists I'm sure would appreciate knowing without having to dig through posts.

Absolutely sex workers have to more to lose overall. Your clients will never speak together as a group though. If even a hint of this activity reached my "real life", I'd lose my home immediately and my job would soon follow. That's true whatever law gets passed, or if there's no law at all. That's just the way it is, and I know that's true for a lot of other guys reading this. It may be unfair, but that's reality. The fight will be waged by sex workers, and we will stay underneath our rocks.

I do believe that we will just go back to the old school ways, " transactions are for time spent only, sex is free" If this is how we advertise, it is the gent's that will have to understand that NO COMMUINATION can take place on phone, internet . So there are no more questions of " do you offer bbbj, msog, " etc...the answer from us ladies will be " I do not charge for sex at all" When meeting a new lady, you will have to just go and meet blindly on what activates you may enjoy. You will only communicate once you are face to face at the location. Once your inside, no one can prove what is or is not taking place.

Tried Toronto Oriental Escort Directory, asked for Michelle, was told she was available. Girl who showed up was a good 15 years older than the girl in the picture and about 35 pounds heavier. Not impressed. Recommend avoiding
