Knock, knock?

Lightning strike as lava flows from an Icelandic volcano. A sinkhole caused by a tropical storm in Guatemala City: A North and South Korean parting after a luncheon meeting during inter-Korean temporary family reunions. South Koreans were visiting North Korea to temporarily meet relatives they'd been separated from since the 1950's war.

Given our population differences, I actually think Halifax is lucky to be as blessed with as many wonderful ladies as it is. Ottawa has over twice our population so you'd expect their to be more ladies there. And while I'm sure population is the main factor, I find this chart interesting too, which states Ottawa (at least in 2010) had the highest medium household income for a Canadian city. You'd have to think that being a city with a bit more disposable income helps! The Maritimes are also a more expensive place to travel to compared to a lot of cities. If you're in Ontario or Western Canada there are many places a lady could visit for less money than the cost of a flight out east. Geography just isn't on our side there. If there is someone you'd be interested in seeing travel our way, I think sharing your interest and wish with them is the best you can do. As Meaghan says though, offering a deposit is probably a good step, as it would be a great way to show your seriousness, as you can bet ladies typically receive many more invites and expressions of interest than they do actual bookings!

I definitely find when I'm on Cerb time works oddly. I logged on for just a couple minutes but somehow an hour has passed by!

Smart women are sexy! So one roleplay fantasy that appeals is the sexy librarian. Just browsing some books when you spot her working across the way... Is she deliberately acting so sexy... Catch your breath when she notices you staring, but gives you a smile... Can't believe your eyes when she leads you to a private area... I'm sure you can guess where it goes from there... . .. ... Er...not quite what I had in mind...but sure, chess is fun too.

Well said, Cristy! There's been many times I'll be reading a thread and am thinking of a response only to see that Mightypen has already voiced it, and more articulately than I would have. I'm sure a few times I've been nodding at the computer screen as I read his posts, and as others have stated they are unfailingly friendly, even in debate. Plus, the man uses the Jayne hat screenshot as his avatar, so you know he's cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tne50bE-ips

Just enjoying the variety of the seasons (admittedly the fifth season is never as pretty...)

I have a friend who dislikes chocolate. Yet I don't know how many times I offer him some, thinking I'm being nice. Because I like chocolate so much and everyone else I know likes chocolate so much, I can't get my head around the fact that he doesn't. I've another friend who keeps trying to get me to watch various movies, promising each one is great and I'll surely love it. Yet each time I give in I invariably find them boring. What I'm saying is I think when people have an idea of what makes them happy it can be very difficult for them to understand that the same things aren't what will make you happy. This becomes especially true when the thing in question is something that most of society considers desirable. Being in a relationship is certainly one of those things that many people deeply want and consider key to their own happiness. So much of life is built around the idea that finding a partner is a key goal for life (consider how many movies and books have that as their plot!). Because of this--with the best of intentions--people will assume that everyone must share the same need to be in a relationship, and they'll either disbelieve or forget anything you say to the contrary. It happens because they care for you they want you to be happy, but unfortunately they confuse what makes them happy with what will make you happy.

We may also find that things improve as society's attitude towards sex in general becomes less restrained. I mean, we still live in a culture where nobody blinks an eye to watch a show where a person's head is chopped in half and more blood than is in the body spatters out...but accidentally show a nipple and all hell breaks loose. However, it's seems like slowly over the last couple generations people have become a bit more liberal in their attitudes towards sex, seeing it more and more as a natural and healthy thing. But of course as long as it mostly remains something society feels ashamed of, then anything associated with it will also seem unnatural. I wonder, in some European countries where sex isn't such a taboo thing, is escorting generally considered more acceptable?

A moment there, filmgeek. I think it's pretty clear the OP was just using that as the thread title for the innocent pun. The poll choices being offered make no assertion whatsoever about what anyone's reasons are for being here. If the intent was to find out what a person's reason or goal was, two options probably wouldn't be enough, but if you read again you'll see that's not the purpose here. Besides, if you've read Realnicehat's posts elsewhere you'll know that he in fact agrees with you that the experience can be about more than just the sex (not that someone who does have that as their goal need be judged either, as long as they are respectful).

I would actually consider race issues an example of where great progress has been made. It is true there are still many problems, especially on a systemic level, but when you look at how much has changed in a mere generation or two there is reason to be hopeful rather than despairing. I'd agree with you it is harder to spot and root out racism when it isn't overt or public, but being forced underground as you put it is part of the process. While I have my doubts that racism, sexism, or many of the others "ism's" will ever be fully eliminated, it's nevertheless amazing the degree to which things have improved. It is certainly not hard to still find examples of homophobia, for example, but look at the progress made by in finding acceptance and equal rights despite sexual orientation in our society just in the last generation. And there are other examples of stigmas which have been all but eliminated. Being Irish in America used to make someone a second class citizen. Just two generations ago people of Gaelic heritage were forbidden to speak that language in school to the point that the language was almost lost. When my father was a child he could be hit in school for writing with his left hand! It is true that, for clients and companions, the stigma is of a different nature and there may never be full understanding or acceptance, and perhaps it only looks like progress is impossible because it is slow, yet over time who knows what will happen? And there are signs of improvement. Never has there been a time when there were so many service providers publicly advocating for themselves, attempting to educate people. Technology like the Internet has also helped. Just speaking for myself, being able to read websites and blogs of escorts, and forums like Cerb have done wonders to educate me on our community. Surely I'm not alone in that? I would even take it as a good sign that, for what I imagine is the first time, you can find examples in popular entertainment depicting escorting as a normal and positive aspect of a society (Kushiel's Dart novels; Firefly tv series). The process may be slow, it may ebb back and forth at times, it may never be complete...but in the long run? There's always hope.

Barney, looks like you accidentally typed some extra words there. Here, I've fixed it up for you: Only in Halifax, a drug infested Heaven, of addicts and convicts ,better just sticking to the Massage Parlours and well known agency names in Toronto and Montreal. Go Patriots !!!!

Enjoying the unique style from a couple "Of Monsters and Men" videos: Also, many of the videos (and songs) that Walk off the Earth have been doing are fun--especially their one take vids like or the cover of .

Got a chuckle out of the recent "We can be Tories" spoof:
