LonelyPerv 3756 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 As a photographer, I usually get to chat with the clients and I found a disturbing phenomenon amongst most of them. Guys that don't leave any kind of recommendation for the ladies... even after seeing them several times. They obviously liked what went on in their session or they wouldn't be back... right? Most of them come from this site and they know what it's all about. That's why it's called CERB. We come here to read these recommendations and make an informed decision on who we will meet. Some deserving girls don't get the recognition they need because some selfless, lazy-ass dude won't take the time to say something nice. Unfortunately, most establishments have rules so the girls can't even ask for one after a few visits. In my opinion, it should be mandatory. If you met her on this site, and yes, probably based your desition on her recommendations, you should be required to post one. By not posting, you are insulting the MP/SP or at the very least, making her think she has done nothing right or something wrong. Whatever happened wasn't important enough for you to mention. If that is the case, why do you go back to her? I hope some of you lazy ass dudes that read this feel guilty enough to take the time and say something nice about the ladies you have visited. They work very hard to make a living and they deserve big tips and all the recommendations they can get. Who knows, she may even show her appreciation on your next visit. This is a site for the hobbyist so he can be informed. Other MPs/SPs know that most hobbyists see different ladies from time to time so there's no jealousy issues to worry about. There's no acceptable reason why you can't leave one. Don't be a miser. Leave a generous tip and say something nice for once in your life. Okay, rant is over. :-) 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeRichards 177238 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I understand the concept of what you are saying......but There are thousands of members on here Thumper. We come from all walks of life with different personalities. Writing recco's does not suit the comfort levels of some hobbyists or words don't flow well from some. Respect that. Also keep in mind that some members come here to message or chat with ladies directly to get to know them, have fun and at the end of the day book dates and get nekkid as a Jaybirds...... and rarely read reccos. I am one of those guys. I do leave a tip or do something generous in my own little way. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Like Lee I hear what you are saying and understand where you are coming from Me, I personally don't use recommendations to decide who to see, but I know that some gentlemen do. That said, I do write recommendations, and love writing them. It is just my way of providing the lady with a public thank you for providing me with a wonderful encounter. Second maybe it will help her business, she might get another client, or more. And finally sort of the opposite side of number two, some gentlemen will know of a wonderful lady to see. Why do I love writing them, it means I just had a wonderful encounter with a lady, and I love wonderful encounters So recommendations are just my way of saying thank you to the lady and giving back to this community But many gentlemen are shy about posting, especially recommendations. They think it has to be a university essay. But a simple couple lines such as "I saw _________for an incall/outcall. Place clean. Photos accurate. She arrived on time. Had a very good time (don't even need details here) Would see her again" would suffice for a recommendation What really irks me though, is those members who won't see a lady citing lack of recommendations, but you pull up those member's posts, they never have posted a recommendation in their life. Consumers of recommendations also need to be producers of recommendations (of course when they are due;-) ) A rambling RG Edited October 1, 2013 by r__m__g_uy forgot a couple words 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad 49548 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) I think your impulse is good Thumper, but I'm also with Lee and and Roamingguy on this one. I assume most Ladies consider recommendations along the same lines as they do tips -- appreciated when they happen but not necessarily expected. Good hygiene, respect, following directions, etc. -- these are rightfully expected. But a recommendation is, I would think, more a nice treat or bonus. Now I for one quite enjoy writing them. I think they are a valuable way to show your appreciation, and like you think they are well deserved. But I don't think they should be mandatory or that someone should feel guilty if they don't. Actually, I think they would lose some of their value if it was seen as a chore. Surely it's better to have fewer ones written by those truly moved to do so than have a string of them from people guilt-tripped into providing one. It's also worth pointing out that some ladies prefer not to have recommendations posted, or at least have preference in terms of content (a recommendation isn't typically the place for a "dear penthouse" type letter). There's nothing wrong with a gentle reminder that recommendations are often appreciated and worth doing. But they are not everything. I'm sure a lot of gentlemen have other ways of showing their appreciation, and it may not be fair to harshly judge those that prefer not to leave public recommendations of their encounters.

Guest *l**e Report post Posted October 1, 2013 just one other point; If I see a lady and like my time with her but don't have anything new or different to add to her reco thread that hasn't already been said (possibly multiple times) then I probably wouldn't bother posting one. why say the same thing that's already been said? Why repeat stuff? Why be redundant, repetitive? saying the same thing over and over and Over and over.. well, you get my point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the points made by the other posters, that some men just don't like to post... but I disagree with this one. If you'd like to write a recommendation, by all means post it - whether it's repetitive or not. A good time is a good time, and we like to get those recos, whether you're writing something similar or not. I do understand the reasons why some men don't write them, but I do think repetition shouldn't be a factor. I don't think it's redundant, instead I think it shows that a provider has continuded to provide good service, so she has continued to receive good reviews :) 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LonelyPerv 3756 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I'm sorry... but the responses I'm getting so far don't seem to fit in with the theme of this site. CERB stands for Canadian Escort Recommendation Board. It attracts hobbyists that know they can get informed, real information on any particular MP/SP. MPs/SPs come here so they can get recommendations for other clients to see. Otherwise, they could have called this the CADB. Canadian Adult Dating Board or whatever... but no, Recommendation is the big word here. I can understand if a girl doesn't want recommendations, but that's bad marketing tactics in my opinion, but she can easily delete them anyway. I can understand some guys thinking they're not educated enough to write one but they can always get help. There's on-line translations, spell checkers, grammar correctors, and even other members that have said something nice that they can get help from. I for one would be only to happy to help. To say these girls just think having one is gravy, is very understating. Of course they want them. Of course they also want and deserve a tip. For those of you that are not tipping as well, I'll deal with you later. hehehe It's nice that these gentlemen think they have other ways of showing their appreciation but that still leaves out what this site is all about and a good marketing tool for the ladies that do want deserved recommendations. I don't think just a friendly reminder is in order here. I think a good swift kick in the ass would be more appropriate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everyone wants to post. CERB is the best place to find quality girls, and I don't think someone should feel that they can't come to this site unless they write reviews. I personally appreciate every review I've received - but I've also seen many gentleman, more than once, and they're never made one post on here. That's their perogative - and I don't think it's anyones place to give them a 'kick in the ass'. If someone is a big poster on here but just isn't posting reviews, then I'd be more inclined to agree with your postiion that they should review as well. But if someone is just using this resource to find the girls they want to spend time with... I have no problem with that. Additional Comments: I also think that if every client wrote a reco for every encounter... this site would be bogged down with them and then the recs wouldn't do much help... if every girl received a new reco every day, they'd stop losing their 'power' They wouldn't mean as much when selecting a girl if they popped up as often as the advertisements do. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 When I came to cerb I logged on registered and made mistake after mistake, one being asking a couple of clients to leave me a reco if they liked my service. I felt pressured to need them and that having them would make me a more respected provider. I never read the cerb rules, nor did I know the etiquette. I've since learned and in time have realized that a lot of men read and rely on recos yet just as many if not more don't and prefer not to write them also having them doesn't mean anyone is better or worse than anyone else. I have enough repeat clients now to give me the assurance that I provide a great service so I no longer feel the pressure of needing them or even wanting them. Everyone is different and even though cerb is a reco board its also offers providers and hobbyists a whole lot more:) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest realnicehat Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Wow Thump, A thread on how to save the ladies from no-shows and a rant on lack of recos (with an extra special demand for tipping) all in one afternoon? You're feeling very ambitious today. While your heart is (I hope) in the right place I think your approach might be a little aggressive for Cerb, especially for a member in his third month. Now I know you're not a newbie (you've been on the other boards for years) so I'm wondering, why the big splash? Why try to change the world in one day? Cerb is what it is. It is different than it was a few years ago and continues to evolve. Members come and go depending on how they view the experience. If the board isn't what you'd hoped perhaps there is a more suitable one out there? Respectfully, I think your post could use a little more Don Juan and a little less Don Quixote.

LeeRichards 177238 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I'm afraid that ship sailed a few years ago. Much more of a social board like facebook as anything else now. Peace MG I suppose you could look at it that way Mr G.. Twitter more so however. Except I hate "dis-like" facebook. I also haven't flown to 4 or 5 different cities or driven hours to see ladies I really want to meet and have fantabulous times with because of facebook or social boards. Probably because if I friend you on facebook you girls probably won't show me your boobs there ;) Cerb has sure done good by me even if the ship has sailed. It tis what it tis.

Guest a**4* Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I don't write many recommendations that doesn't mean I did not like the encounter anything I have to say to her and the encounter I tell her in private p.m. I do not need to tell the world about it for the ones that do good for them.I did not fine her from a recommendation and she understands that so that is the way it is going to be and I have been a regular client for a year and a half and I will continue to see her,the best recommemdation I give comes from the heart for her to read and for her only to read that is how I do things private everyone has there way I have mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LonelyPerv 3756 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I don't have a problem with the CERB board. I think it's an excellent forum to find what you're looking for... It could be better if there was more participation in what it was originally designed for though. Yes, I am ambitious today. I'm taking a break and just thought I'd stick some pencils in a few ears to see if anyone is listening. lol I'm seeing a lot of negativity on this subject which is disappointing but not only for me, for the ladies that want and need recommendations. Some girls have been doing a great job for months but it's slow because they have no recommendations to show anyone. They look new, inexperienced, or incapable of pleasing anyone. I can understand the girls with lots of recommendations that can now say they don't need them. However, I'm sure they helped get her where she is today. I'm not trying to strong arm anyone. I just believe its a good habit to get into and it's just as important as tips, being a gentleman, hygiene, and showing up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HalifaxMan58 2206 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I do understand what your saying and that you mean well by it but.... I would be one of those guys you're talking about that have never wrote a recommendation. Yet I have been back to see the same lady 4 times, other ladies 3 times, just as an example! What that would tell you is that I certainly did enjoy their company. I believe that tips are more important that recommendations. Personally, the recommendation is not something I look at when deciding who I am going to see. I look at their posts and what they have to say tells you much about the person. I interact with them through P.M.'s sometimes through e-mail. In many cases I feel like I know the lady before I ever walk up to the door, or before she knocks on my Hotel door. I am new this lifestyle and have certainly made my mistakes. I was quickly told what I did wrong and what I should be doing and adjusted to that. I was given some really good advice in forums by some of the long time Gentleman here who I must say I do respect, and really appreciated the advice given. As RG said: "I saw _________for an incall/outcall. Place clean. Photos accurate. She arrived on time. Had a very good time (don't even need details here) Would see her again" I suppose this is something I could have done, but I don't think it would have given my experiences I've had to date the recommendation the ladies would have deserved. Some of us are not real good with words. I happen to be one of them. I do have Gentlemen who P.M. and ask me about ladies I've been with & do give recommendations that way. It sometimes is very easy to tell who Gentleman have been with just by looking at the Guestbook page. I've never had a lady tell me to give her a recommendation even when I've been back to see her for the 3rd or 4th time. I've gotten a little long winded on this topic. Probably from trying to explain why I haven't given any recommendations and perhaps not doing a good job at that. Imagine if you will what my recommendation would look like!. I haven't been with a CERB lady that I would not repeat with! I am just very happy I stumbled upon this fantastic site!!! My loonies worth! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I'm sure they helped get her where she is today. No one is saying the girls don't need recs. What we're saying is... not everyone wants to write them. And that's fine. A lot of men LOVE to write them, and I know I love receiving them. But I don't resent the clients who don't write them, and I would never want them to feel they HAD to write one. It wouldn't make me feel good about getting that rec, that's for sure. Cerb provides a lot of different things for a lot of different people... there's no right or wrong way (unless you're breaking the rules of course). Every client is different, and I for one like that :) 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I used to write a bunch of reviews, (excuse me, recommendations) but lately I have not written as many for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is for the fear of saying something negative, or that could be misinterpreted. Not all encounters are 100% perfect and a less than positive comment on any aspect, even if it was only the venue, can be frowned upon. If I see someone who is a relative unknown or a new-comer I will gladly get the word out if I have a positive experience. That is on this board. However if the lady is well regarded the word gets out there through a lot of other means aside from the recommendation section of this board. PM's, chat room conversations, talking with other hobbiests is how I get most of my information and how I share my info. It is fine that this only a recommendation board, and that all comments need to be positive. The downside is that it can be slightly misleading because it is not necessarily balanced. It is a trade-off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webothscore Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Well Thumper, I might like your enthusiasm and intention, but sorry to echo the "tone it down" but I do it sincerely. Many are commenting on it so it must be coming off a certain way, but I am more than happy to answer your genuine question. Given my three massages to date as a prelude to starting encounters, one was horrific, one was great but the attendant kept telling me how I reminded her of another guy (hello, cock in hand), getting annoying after the 9th mention of it. The most recent was spectacular. You might have guessed which one got a reco. I seem to "hobby" every second month. Will this pick up or slow down and is this a reflection of how many recos I write? Who knows. All I know is everyone's comfort level is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcguy42 38594 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 I don't think just a friendly reminder is in order here. I think a good swift kick in the ass would be more appropriate. While I agree with your intent, that good sessions should result in good recommendations (if the provider agrees - some don't), I'm a little taken aback by your approach. I'm taking myself back in time to when I first started here. I've got to learn the rules and the etiquette so I don't come across as the bumbling fool I'm afraid I might be. Now I've finally figured out who I want at the helm of my maiden CERB voyage. Gotta learn the details on how to arrange, present myself, conduct myself, and gracefully exit. Done. And now I should get my ass kicked if I don't write a recommendation? Seriously? I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you didn't write this with newbies in mind. I agree with your un-selected choice of a gentle reminder to the more experienced members. But I can't quite shake the idea that there are one or four newbies reading this thread asking "WTF?" The above reflects only my uniformed opinion and no one else's. And who knows. I might disavow them tomorrow. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think any negativity you are seeing is based on your approach rather than the subject matter. Then again, a lot of members might be thinking "this again". Since you're on a break why not take the time to do a search. There are many threads on this subject already (an excellent one started by Nathalie Lefebvre just a few months ago). Essentially, it's been done. You are beating a dead horse with another dead horse. If you take the time to follow up you'll learn that a lot of guys feel that recos play only a small part (if any) in determining which ladies they see. Cerb, having a uniquely strong female presence, gives us the opportunity to learn about our providers first hand rather than by what someone else (who may have completely different taste) thinks about them. We are able to choose not only based on photos and ads, but by finding women we feel we would connect with based on their innate ability to speak for themselves. Again, I appreciate your enthusiasm but please, find somewhere else to stick your pencils :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Another thing to keep in mind: some people aren't comfortable writing in any venue. It may be a language barrier, could be dyslexia, could be a fear of writing, could be many different things. My mother gets so nervous even typing a simple email it can take her hours to do so. Does that mean she shouldn't be a member of any online forums? Just because someone doesn't want to sit down and write about their encounter does not mean they didn't enjoy it, it does NOT mean they need a kick in the ass, and it definitely does not mean they don't belong on cerb. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Areez 11906 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Just because something is called one thing its the only thing it means; wow... I cant believe how often do we have to beat this topic. I wrote recommendation when I feel like it; in any means or way trust me it does not reflect anything along how I like a lady or not. There is many ladies here in CERB that I have seen more than 3-4 times and still have not written recommendation about them. I don't want to let the world know who I see on which day of the week as that is my business and my business alone. I really find your post of calling other lazy offensive. Learn to communicate your thoughts before the name calling. Enough is enough. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 A recommendation needs to be written from the heart, because a gentlemen had a good encounter with a lady and wishes to share.
