I miss the good old days when a newspaper page and a few quarters(for the pay phone) was all you needed.

Her official webpage is quite complete and detailed. She also politely requests to NOT be reviewed unless it involves her permission( and likely some editing from her part). Explaining the very few existing reviews about her. She's not on DNR/DND list, but you should still be cautious on what you post about her. Have a nice day.

Only judging books by the covers is maybe safe, but also a good way to miss out on hidden gems. I find more constructive to learn about the real lady and ignore the marketing. Don't get me wrong, if she lied I'm not giving her a free pass. But I won't create a first opinion based on an ad she likely didn't create in the first place.

The problem is that the PM system shouldn't be used that way and also because the current rules don't allow it. As posted by the MOD in regard to PM system abuse: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=256197 "- Do not post NEGATIVE comments about ladies, if it's a bait and switch you can post about it but don't abuse that either - No not post telling people how to find negative info (Google her name) for instance or the other board starting with the letter X has lots of info." We can post positive and warnings(bait & switch/fraud), but nothing in between. A bit more flexibility would remove the need for parallel hidden conversations that benefit very few people. Additional Comments: I agree out of her control things shouldn't be used against a provider. But some things should. Like: Questionnable hygiene and health, signs of drug use, lack of privacy, hostile work environment and strong evidence of overbooking.

Criticism or negative comments don't need to be "bad". It can be informative for lobbyists who'll determine by themselves if a concern or not. And for the lady involved to take it constructively or just plain ignore it. I agree a bad experience for one won't necessarily be the same for others. But if there helpful details to know about someone, it shouldn't be censured for the sake of keeping things positive.

Completely agree. The current system inadvertently favorises hidden discussions via private messages as many topics and opinions are either considered taboo or plainly against current rules. When describing an experience as "just ok", the inbox shouldn't fill up with questions on how bad it really was. Having met ladies who went through Hell and back and could still manage to do their job with a smile, I think it's safe to say most are not thin skinned.

Yes. Thank god I had my stash of links and contacts to make it through the crisis. lol

Not sure what happened but the site was down for almost 20 hours. No matter if caused by scheduled maintenance or else, nice to see things are back to normal. Have a nice week-end.

Doing my income taxes. Real fun and sexy..... NOT!

I don't have any(for now), but like both. Dog's are generally more playful and loyal. No matter the size, can act as good bodyguards or at least identify a possible threat. The downside is their limited independence. Leaving them alone for a weekend(unless they remain outside) will normally spell disaster or at least a smelly home. Cats are more independent. Once litter box trained, they can remain alone for a few days as long they got enough food and water. The downside is their more erratic temperament. They only play and cuddle when they want to and won't be shy to say they want to be left alone. Could say a lot more but at the end of the day one's lifestyle and occupations should determine the best suited furry companion(s).

Cheez Whiz and banana bread.

Instead of jumping on the band wagon and demonizing me, you should maybe read my comments and see for yourself what I posted. I never once objected to the screening procedure. I simply said it could be done in many ways. Providing personal info should simply be a last resort. I never had any problems in providing multiple recommendations and was often invited for repeat sessions. Having a different opinion on something doesn't mean I don't respect or appreciate women. If you want to say otherwise, you better post something better than a few misinterpreted or out of context comments!

I stand by everything I said as I'm sure many agree with me but prefer to remain neutral on the subject. I'm not gonna elaborate more. If you ladies want to put me in the virtual dog house for it, no problems. It's just another Monday.

I get where you come from and can honestly say I couldn't put myself in your shoes even if I wanted to. I sympathize completely with what you live through and there's nothing I can say or do that can change the way you feel about it. Again, I fully agree with the main topic. But it's a case where the tone of the article pretty much hijacked the message. Like everyone else, I'm sharing my opinion and don't expect everyone to embrace me for it. We all see life from different perspectives, and all led differently. No need to take or make things personal over a disagreement. Sorry if I may have hit a sensitive nerve, was not my goal. Have a nice day.

I got a few examples but I'll limit myself to only one that's been a recurrent topic here, and it's RMT's. I always hate bringing that up, as many confuse "a few" and "most of them". RMT's should be respected. And if they want see someone off the clock it's none of our businesses. They run a legitimate business and the extra collected(if any) remains under the radar. As for the rest, I mostly meet reviewed ladies and newcomers with who I had extended conversations. If she feels comfortable in meeting me without my full name and other private info, I won't treat as a lesser person. Never been an issue in the past 20+years. Not sure why it should be a problem now.

Not sure it's necessary to throw under the bus providers and lobbyists who got different ways of doing business. The key issue are the illegal aspects of the trade that involves a certain amount of risks for both participants. And don't fool yourself with the effectiveness of verification websites. Those are only as good as the information provided. With identity theft, someone who want to slip through the cracks of the system can easily do it for a few dollars. I only provide my information when a lady provide services via a legal business framework(or front). There been creative ways to safely work and get services. Up to people involved to choose what works for them. Again, there are no perfect systems.

I agree more ladies are beaten and killed than men, I'm simply making the point men also risk a lot more than losing a few dollars. Many lobbyists including myself are always a bit nervous when knocking at an incall location for the first time. More than once, discovered at the last second she was working with others or had a "bodyguard" present. Outcalls don't always feel safer with some micromanaging drivers. On a first meeting, will leave the wallet in the car and carry the minimum amount of cash to cover the agreed services and possible tip. Most times it's been incident free, but on a few occasions the vigilance paid off. I'm not saying your way of doing business is wrong, quite the opposite. If the formula works for you and others, who am I to judge. It's simply not for me and I shouldn't be judged because I prefer alternate ways to meet. Without a legal industry standard, there many ways things can be dealt with. You got yours, I got mine. Let's just agree to disagree.

From the start, the quoted article is a bit one sided by dismissing any counter-arguments as "rubbish". I agree ladies should have the ability to know who they're dealing with, but I reject the notion lobbyists lives are never at risk. There been plenty of incidents of men getting beaten, robbed and a few occasions killed by a lady with a procurer/accomplice(s). Both sides share a similar level of risks. And both gain from knowing enough from the other to feel safe. If they want to share information as if it was a normal date or job interview, that's perfectly fine. But not everyone(providers and hobbyists alike) will be on board with this level of familiarisation with so much potential of abuse.

I understand your point of view, but you also need to understand the other side. Not all counter-arguments are "rubbish excuses". If every aspects of the sex-trade were 100% legal and everyone was honest, most men(and women) would have no problems providing minimal information. On top of that, there many fake ads and fake verification websites made for the sole purpose of identity theft, credit card fraud and blackmail. There also the question of where and how the the information is stored. A provider can be careful on how she handles and uses customers details. But if she gets busted by law enforcement or a previous procurer, all bets are off. I agree providers should be able to verify who they're dealing with, the same way most men do here. But there other ways to do it. I prefer by far the reference system and provide the name of SP's and MA's I seen before. It does the job and no private information is shared. The only downside, is making it complicated for newcomers. But again, no system is perfect and some compromises are expected from both sides. Many providers and lobbyists got burned from not knowing enough or by sharing too much. Up to both sides to work on a safe middle ground.

I won't comment on the specifics as I don't quite know enough details about your case and who you've been dealing with. But if you don't feel comfortable with the terms, price, conditions and attitude of the lady, you're better off not seeing her at all. There plenty of open minded ladies who don't watch the clock. Take a look at the Kingston recommendations: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=150 You'll see profiles, reviews and have the possibility to communicate with them via private messages if you require details. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Welcome to Lyla. That being said, you would likely get better results if you posted your request in a thread related to your location. And also if you were more specific about the services you're looking for. If you look in the Alberta related threads, you'll likely get answers and maybe even find what you're looking for. http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=246 Have a nice day.

Certain things should be taken into consideration: If she's an indy and claims pics are 100% real and recent and it turn out to be false. Don't waste your time and money, just turn around. If she works under management and he or she doesn't allow direct communication with the lady, simply hang up. If you can directly talk to her and she can honestly say the the pics are not of her, can clarify details about her appearance and services and you're satisfied with her responses, she certainly deserves a chance. It's quite easy to judge someone by a picture and ad without context. Communicate directly with her and it should filter most of the BS. These ladies work on the front line and don't need to be constantly thrown under the bus because of someone else lack of ethics. If she's honest and aspires to build her own list or regulars, she should be supported.

That's not quite true. There anonymous tip lines like Crime Stoppers to report this kind of concern without getting involved. If you witnessed an assault or flagrant abuse, a 911 call will certainly be more effective. But if lives are not in immediate danger, the anonymous way will certainly help in addressing the problem.

This explained in the FAQ in regard to troublesome users: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=ignore&match=all&titlesonly=0 It says:"If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'." So, yes they can see you but can't get in contact in you. And as you can't see them here, you can literally just ignore them.
