Emily -- Thanks for the clarification and I apologize for any confusion I may have contributed to by confusing referrals and recommendations ... Obviously two very different things. And it certainly wasn't your original post, as much as the subsequent comments, that I was commenting on.

ikeep hoping it's a bit more than this although based on a couple other recent threads here there is definitely a number of ladies here that share this attitude and philosophy. I tend to agree with Samantha andMegan and the other guys here that say it's more than that. And I am grateful to see those responses.

There have been some most-excellent looking servers at Barbs over the years. Some better than at least some of the dancers!

soldier -- Sorry to hear about your experience. I think you need to go back and re-assess how you went choosing the SP you decided to be with. I spent a ton of time here, and on the other boards, beffore I had my first encounter. And to re-state what Megan has already said, and many other's here will agree, there are no guarantees. I suspect that if you would start communicating with one of our lovely ladies here on cerb that the next experience will go a lot better. Best wishes!

Pictures of guys ... Eeewww! Ick. (smile) Mod has some rules about this kinda of thing ... Not the "men" thing, the photo posting thing. Have fun ladies.

Respectfully, you are misreading my post ... I never said, or meant to imply, that meeting with Sp's is my way of life. Far from it ... This is something I only do on my trips to Ottawa given the legalities. My "way of life" ... The way I was referring to it in my posts ...is to try to have a sincere interaction with everyone I meet including the ladies I have been fortunate enough to meet that are SPs. My life is richer for having done so. If that puts me in the minority, so be it. And I'm not interested in meeting SPs that I perceive are just putting on an act for me. Heck, maybe they are anyway (smile). And I stick by my posts here on this topic. No one knows why the person Emily refers to in her original posts got into the issue she is referring to. Maybe he was being petty and a bit immature. But it sure sounds to me like something that a nice guy might do to stay out of a conflict. I will say something that is a bit controversial ... It seems like there have been a lot of topics here recently where people are crabby for one reason or another due to recommendations. If the ladies would stop assuming that they are ever entitled to them, and if the guys would get off their butts and post them when appropriate, we would all be much happier.

BL -- you may be asking for trouble using your own number. Especially if you are just getting started, it's easy enough to get a pre-paid phone and re-charge that. suggest it includes txt messaging as well.

Ok ... How many guys here are going to be checking out those left foot little toes. (smile)

Agreed ... For the most part (smile). I'm arguing for (hopefully) something in the middle. It just bugs me a bit when some of the responses sounded to me like "stop worrying about my feelings as this is all about the money ... Grow up, you're just another client." On the other hand, I agree that guys can get protective like that because they want to assume a dominant role, and that's not right. And there are a few ladies that I have occasional correspondence with and they seem to enjoy the communication. And most of the guys are just trying to be polite and avoid conflict. And I fundamentally disagree with anyone who says, "well, that's just your fantasy.". It's not ... It's my way of life, and I suspect I share that with a lot of other guys here. Additional Comments: Oh, and by the way, going back to the original post, I would never turn down a lady asking for a recommendation unless it was a bad experience ... Maybe I would come up with some excuse for not posting one, or say I'll think about it, or say I'm not comfortable with that for some truthful reason. Fortunately it's never been a problem.

I find this whole thread kind of funny. It seems to me that the guy was probably just trying to be kind. The points are valid, I guess, but you do see the "that's my client" behavior occasionally in strip clubs, and it can get pretty nasty when the guys show up with hundreds and hundred of dollars. So that's maybe where the guys are coming from if they are reluctant to ask for referrals. However, there are some posts in in this thread that are, in my opinion, kinda depressing to read ... if the whole damn thing is just a fantasy for money, and there is no sincerity or sense of interest in the person you are with, I have zero desire to make an appointment with that lady.

And the birth certificate ... We definitely need to see that too! (smile)

To Gentleman11's original question, I certainly hope so! :icon_smile:

SA -- Thanks. My point was whether Tracey is answering the phone during the day now, or whether if you want an appointment for, lets say, Saturday at 11am, you would call the week before during OPG's normal business hours (7pm - 5am).

CK -- Thanks for giving this a try. You are always one of our fearless leaders!

I must admit that I tend to see younger ladies, but that's only because I haven't connected yet with more mature ladies that I'm interested in seeing. Of course, by doing so, I'm probably missing out on some really great experiences! I have to give this some more thought for my next trip to town.

Not that I am an anti-Canadian monarchist by any means, but this is very well put, at least as to the commentary as to the Wedding. It is a historically significant event. It seems somewhat irrelevant in the modern world, but we need to remember that we are only a few hundred years into operating as democracies whereas the world that is represented by the royals has been around much, much longer. And by the way, the new Duchess of Cambridge is one of the most strkingly beautiful women I have ever seen! I hope things go well for them.

Once again, coming late to this string. This is a really interesting discussion and is getting close to that other touchy topic of clients disclosing real names of other aspects of identification. To me, its pretty simple: I use my cerb name in my appointments, most of which are made in PMs on cerb. No big deal, and I have never felt any pressure to post a review or anything like that. But I'm glad to do so, with the lady's permission, if the visit was a good one. Why? Because its easy, because the lady can see my identity and take a look at my posts, and because its a great way to keep in touch post-visit (within reason, of course). On the other hand, its my "identity" and I choose to use it that way; other guys may not. Personally, I think the worst possible answer a guy on cerb could give a lady is, "well, yes, I'm on cerb but I dont want to disclose my identity." It jsut sounds suspicious to me. Its best to just not mention cerb and post via regular e-mail.

Good post. Boy, that's a big topic and Nathalie, I see you are trying to scope out the topic in your post. Obviously what you describe as "sexual tourism" is abhorrent and sick. But what about the people (like yours truly) who have an encounter or two while visiting Canada on business? Or some other area that has more liberal laws (Amsterdam or some of the European countries)? Also, are we going to assume just because its legal, well, it must be OK and safe? This is something I would never engage in the United States as it is, for the most part, illegal. But I hope because I have had the honor of meeting with some of the lovely ladies of cerb that I'm not considered a "Sexual tourist."

SA -- That's interesting that those appointments were during the day ... I assume those were set up during their normal business hours?

I cant seem to make this video work, but I'm pretty sure I can figure out what it is ... when did we ever get to the point in society where that kind of thing was considered acceptable?

My only alone time is when I am travelling on business. The rest of the time I am surrounded with family and friends. During my average 2-3 day trips, I find myself craving the alone time and then, by then end of the visit, very happy to get back to my family and "regular" life. The alone time really is a time to decompress and have some "me" time. But in the big picture, its a small investment in a very big family life, so that's probably a good thing.

A belated Happy Easter as well!

I think the video is hilarious and I think people are being too hard on the royals. They're an easy target, but I think their approval ratings in the UK are pretty high.

Agreed ... but no comment on the "little thing" issue (smile). Sounds like she was just showing natural modesty.
