Agree Isa, it is hard in particular if you feel you've built up some kind of relationship with someone and then they're just gone. I think it will be the nature of this activity and some will exit in a planned way while others will leave suddenly. Sometimes we can't control everything in our lives and need to take drastic measures. Parting a great site like this could easily be something we need to give up without much control and/or opportunity to say good-bye to many we've come to care about. I also agree with WIT, that some haven't totally left 'officially' but, really aren't here. Always curious what happens to them too. As much as I do have fond memories for those who I came to know, I accept that for the most part they have probably wanted/needed to leave...and I'm fine with that. I'll put my energy into those who I can continue to connect with, and remember the others.

Well my avatar wasn't any great stroke of genius. After I picked my name I went searching for pics. The one I have seemed to fit what I felt about myself. I must say though I have gotten lots of great compliments from ladies on 'just how cute he is', which often starts a great dialogue...and some of the ladies do have great avatars which just draws you into the profile. I must say Sweetshay has avatar selection down to an art.

So a question for the ladies primarily but gents please share your views too. I am curious how long someone should wait for a reply to an email, PM or voicemail. I am an extremely patient and I think an understanding guy but, it does get frustrating when you attempt to make contact with a lady and get NO reply. I usually watch if someone says they are away or taking some time off. However, I've even experienced ladies who are touring and say they are going to be in a particular city during a certain time period. I've sent emails and got zero response. Should you send a 2nd email? Try and phone contact? How many attempts before moving on? It is difficult because some cities don't offer the same quantity and quality of ladies so IMHO finding an alternate can be difficult. Ideally, I encourage those ladies who are actively working to please stay on top of your business and at least provide us a response. Cub

Way to go Angela! You are so valued and earned a great reputation from your insight and smarts. XO - Your Fav Bear.

I very much like perfume on a woman. Not too much just something that compliments her natural scent.

Typically once a day. Somedays I get a couple days. Often check new pictures that are posted. Scan the new threads if anything that interests me. Then often check a few friends pages who I value their views to see if they've posted anything.

This is so funny and on so many levels, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMYOqwQJPkU Connie Francis - Don't Break The Heart That Loves You The video has some pretty sexy pics too. Cub

A couple different variations for me. 1. Finding I'm short money - at Shanghai Airport didn't have enough Chinese money for the cab as hotel guy said flat rate which I had plus tip. 45 mins before international flight. And can't communicate with cab driver. 2. Overcooked steak - Ok, Alberta boy and love a great steak. But hate when they are overcooked. What a waste. 3. Hiccups - Drives me crazy and especially if you get them just at the wrong time. 4. Hotel Issues - and in particular not having hot water or a middle of the night fire alarm. Am I really supposed to get dressed and leave? Fun reading others too. Cub

I have to start by saying I'm a loyal Canadian and love our country. I'm with a few others and easily drawn to the attraction of New York or the Italian/French country side. But if I must pick one it is likely an island off the coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. The most beautiful place I've seen on this Earth.

Happy Mother's Day, to Moms of all kinds. Special Bear Hug to those on CERB!

Well it comes with many other challenges but a possible option is to find/use the place of a friend. What are friends for? That would be a very good friend. Just a thought. Posted via Mobile Device

How the human brain functions and inparticular when we let too much emotion and elements likely jealousy creep in can be really interesting and damaging. I can totally see this happening but would hope I never stoop to this kind of thinking. Emily I complete agree with your comments and those of the other ladies. Thanks for the reminder of what respect, professionalism, and dignity look like. Cub.

RG, I'm like Mistert. The reviews I've done have all been EXCLUSIVELY based on MY experience with the lady and only that. It works both ways for me. If a lady is positively/highly reviewed yet I don't have a good experience then I simply take it as an experience and move on. And if a lady has average or negative comments yet I have a great experience than that is what a recount. All I know to be true is the experience that I had and that is the point of view I can comment from. Cub

It is so hard to generalize as everyone knows we can have exceptions in any demographic. I do like a woman with a sense of confidence and maturity about her. Ideally it is also good if they have a sense of society, community, and the world we live in. I'm not looking for a Jeopardy partner but someone who I can have an intelligent conversation with is part of the experience for me. That usually then points to someone over 25, but again exceptions do exist. I'm in the +40 camp so at time I've seen someone under 25 and felt the difference in age. So if I had a general range it is probably 25-35. But all are welcome in the den. Cub

I am in a relatively stable financial situation and my hobbying usually aligns with business travel. My travel may be reduced slightly this year but not much. We're corporately playing with videoconference to reduce travel but not sure how it would work to support my hobbying activities. haha. So for me my level of activity will likely remain the same this year as has been the past 2.

I can't think of any actor who looks like me. Although if they did they might not be working. Haha. A little personality wise might be Michael Douglas.

For me I've kinda created 2 worlds. My private world and my CERB/Hobby world. I honestly don't need a third or fourth. My email is also a version of my CERB handle 'Winnipegcub' for hobbying purposes. Now I've always treated everyone in this part of my life with the utmost respect and seeing how the members of CERB operate has really made it easy. I've met some quality ladies and gents. So then I hope those who get to know Winnipegcub think of that person in a giving, generous, and respetful way. Thus when I meet someone in this part of my life I want them to know its Winnipegcub. I would hope it goes to creating my reputation. I have had 'bad' dates, but again the lady was professional and we just accepted that we didn't connect. I don't believe she tarnished my reputation in anyway. And if so, I hope to have many more positive interactions than not so great...so trust in the end things will balance out and my reputation will in fact be - earned and me! Winnipegcub

Way to Go Erin! You'll find everything just tastes so much better. Hehe. Wish I was close to help you with burning off some energy. Stick with it. You'll be glad in the end. Cub

The overall best outfit on a lady for me is the 'Little Black Dress', of course with some nice lace lingerie underneath.

This subject interests me too. I started a thread some time back from a ladies perspective on "Do Regulars Matter". From my perspective I luv my hobby life because I feel I have the best of both. My playtime is when I travel which is frequent and to many Canadian cities. I am a big time regular. I luv when a connection gets formed. Usually if I find a lady I connect with well in a particular city than that is who I see. I've made some exceptions to this rule but do pretty much stay with the regular ladies I've come to know. These are my best sessions and I feel we've developed relationships that extend beyond the particular meeting. And even sexually I feel that over time we've developed, gotten to know each others body better, gotten to know each other better, and this has resulted in more exciting, intense, and intimate sessions. I do get my 'variety' when I visit a new city or if it is a city in which I just haven't found a regular I like. Some Canadian cities aren't as well blessed IMHO with great local talent as others. In some cases I rely on touring ladies to be in the same city that I might be travelling to. Again this provides for lots of variety. I do like the excitement of new encounters and have certainly had some great one time meetings that because of travel/logistics will probably always be that way. So I feel fortunate to be able to have both but I must admit I highly value the long term relationships I have been fortunate to establish with a few. Cub

Its great you don't have to wait. And has been said I think the care in London is very good. Speedy recovery and our thoughts are with you. Cub

I'm very much like Megan in that it depends who gave it to me. Probably not the right way to think about it but for me it would vary from 10% - 50%.

Thanks Isa, you may have all seen this too but thought I needed to share. Although, not crazy about the Cub running for his life. Don't we luv our Cats!

Sometimes hurt can be good. I think we need at times to feel the pain of human emotions to truly value the joys in our lives. I thought I would start a thread, not to take people to unhappy places, but to allow us to reflect just for a moment, perhaps shed a tear, and then feel strengthened by our inner spirit. We have probably all been brought to tears for both sadness and the greatest times in our lives. For me it is sometimes an event that brings on the strongest emotions, but more frequently can just be me reflecting on a thought, reading something that draws on a memory, or listening to powerful lyrics. Related to the hobby this has happened recently with the final episode of Secret Diary of a Callgirl Season 4 and Adele's song 'Someone Like You'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Zs7XS3XUo&feature=related I thought I would share these with our great community and invite others to reflect and share too.

Angel, thanks for rejuvinating this thread and your specific question. GREAT timing for me. Last night was my first duo experience (RECO to come). It took some planning/preparation to find just the right ladies. And boy did I ever. Your question was part of what I was specifically looking for. I wanted two ladies who would be interactive with each other but at the same time I didn't want to feel like the 3rd on a date. I knew what I wanted before, well as best as I could describe it, and found two ladies who perfectly fit that. So yet again proves how valuable respect, trust and good communication is in a meeting.
