Happy Birthday Cato! I hope you find some creative ways to celebrate. All the best to you.

Well blow me down! This is big news.

This has happened to me as well, and not just by text. Often I see this with email and pm inquiries as well. I understand that there are a lot of tire kickers out there who are just looking for conversation and may never actually book. Really, I understand that. I'm not looking for a pen pal, but a response that shows a bit of interest is nice. I don't even mind if it is a copy/paste answer with a quick customization. (that's what I would do.) Replies that are less than 3 words long (often shortened versions of words because 'you' takes way too long to type out) that don't even answer all of my questions make me loose interest quickly. I feel like I'm disturbing them by showing interest in them, and that is the wrong way for me to start. I have moved on in these situations on a few occasions.

Happy Birthday Emma! Enjoy your day.

Happy belated Toine! Hope you enjoyed your day.

"I would date you." (meaning if both of us were single and lived in the same part of the country, etc.) It was a simple sentiment from an sp whose league I wouldn't come close to in the real world. (I am a realist.) Who knows? It may be a standard line she uses but it seemed sincere and natural at the time, and part of a long open conversation. Perhaps just good business sense. Either way it made me feel great at the time. ;)

I had the great fortune to finally meet Ms Manda today. Looks wise, she even exceeded my expectations. She is even more beautiful in person than her photos suggest. (if that is possible!) She has the beautiful face of a model, a stunning figure and amazingly smooth skin, decorated with an array of amazing artwork. I could simply look at her for hours. She also has a smile that will make you melt. She has a charming disarming personality. She can quickly put you at ease. She is clearly intelligent and fun to talk to. I enjoyed every bit of our time together. (which seemed to go by way too fast.) Thank you for helping me start my week off right Ms Manda! Until next time. Mikey

There are already many review sites out there, most of which I choose not to participate on, but that is my preference. Although I understand that from a business perspective, there may be some short term gains from opening up the rules in terms of attracting more advertisers, I think the loss of differentiation that you have built will be a detriment to the site in the long run. The site would become just one of many voices fighting for the exact same audience. The few times I have checked out other sites, I have come across people badmouthing this site. (Normally from people who have been kicked off of this site I'm guessing.) I always shake my head at this. Why do you want this site to be exactly like the one you are on? You already have that site. What's wrong with a different option with different rules that attracts different people? Why does one format have to be 'better' than the other? What's wrong with being different? I think a lot of the ladies would be the first to leave here. Why would they stay in a place that allows people to badmouth them? I wouldn't. Once they leave, most of the discussions will revert mainly to just that. Badmouthing others. Most of the regulars here will drift away next. (Those of us who enjoy the civility of the site.) Basically you are left with building a review site almost from the ground up, as you have lost most of the traffic you have built already. In short, I think that there is room for both types of sites in this market, and this site has a leading position in 'recommendation only' segment. It would be a shame to see that thrown away to become one of the many, when it is a leader in its own segment.

Happy Birthday to the amazing Jocelyn Ardenne! I hope you have a great day.

There has been a discussion on her already here: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=241100&highlight=Lara No first hand experience though.

Hey, she warned us we'd be rolling the dice with her... lol

Although I stated a preference, none of the options are deal breakers for me by any means. I love them in all of their forms and presentations. ;)

One girl at a party in the middle of nowhere with a group of partying guys sounds like a tall request. I suspect it will be hard to find a girl who will agree to this if it is not a client she already knows and trusts. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows? I just think that it will be hard to convince someone that you can guarantee her safety in this situation if you have not already established a relationship of trust with her.

Happy Birthday Reddog01!

Happy birthday Jake. Judging from your handle, this is a big one. Do something special to celebrate!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy :)

Happy Birthday! Hope it's a great one.

This one made me laugh ;)

Favorite Python flick: Life of Brian Person: I think it was 'Blessed are the cheesemakers.' Mrs. Gregory: What's so special about the cheesemakers? Man: Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products. What's so funny about Biggus Dickus? He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy! Alright, I AM the messiah! Now, FUCK OFF!

Mine was simply a guitar I was taken with almost 7 years ago when I was setting up my account. (Gibson Robot.) I never did buy one. Moved on to other toys, but I still like the image.

Being out of the ladies shoe fashion loop, this is the first I have heard of these particular shoes. That being said, I love a girl in heels. I'm quite tall myself (6'4" give or take) so the extra height the heels give is a turn on for me. (Not to mention how incredible it can make their legs look.) From a marketing perspective, claiming something as simple as a red sole as their trademark is shear brilliance on the part of this company.

I wish that dry humor would become the new currency of the industry. I would live like a king! (You said that there were no wrong answers here. Just lightening things up. ;) ).
