Variety

[newboy 4919]

Please understand that the intention of this thread is not to bash anyone, but more intended to create a discusson.

 

I find that here in Halifax, we are lacking variety in ladies compared to, Ottawa let's say. We certainly have our share of lovely ladies to choose from, (and I have), but for anyone who has been doing this for awhile, tough to find any new ladies.

 

I have taken a foray into ladies offering their services on other websites, but for the most part it has been a letdown. Addicts, or not providing the services promised.

 

It seems that Halifax has it's conservative nature to blame?

 

What can be done to invite more ladies to offer their services here in the city?

 

Certainly there are many university students around who could benefit from the business.

Interesting thread.

 

My experience is that cerb does not have a big base in the Maritimes. Most of the members are based in Ontario, and not as many members here.

 

I personally am leary of travelling to Halifax as it has a rap for no shows and cancelled appointments. Whether its true or not, that is a big factor. Travelling is expensive, and if the sp don't meet her goals, its a let down.

 

How do you attract sp's to travel there? Invite those you are interested in seeing. If enough interest is generated, my experience they will come. Be prepared to pay a deposit as well. At least she will feel more secure in making arrangements. Also, if a lady is travelling to see you, remember her fees are going to be higher then locals, as she has incurred additional expenses.

 

Good luck!

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!

[fixednbroken 814]

Like Brad says, geography is not on our side - same reason we don't get many good current bands to Halifax - too far to go for too few people;

I've also heard from a reputable travelling lady that Halifax is known for last minute bookings - so it's hard to make plans when you don't have a full book lined up

At least we treat them well once they get around to coming here!

[Midnite-Energies 110563]

One other factor you have to look at here in addition to the smaller population, less disposable income and still a number of traveling ladies is that the more people who get into this line of work are drawing from the same pool as they are now. For those who seek variety it's great....for awhile. However, if someone is in this to sustain themselves it may become a case of not enough disposable income to go around and they move on to bigger and better. If it's all college students (as were mentioned), great however if it's not and all you have is a constant stream of new faces and new skills, then many of the pleasures that others in the hobby enjoy would be gone.

 

It's a balancing act for sure and quite honestly there ARE a LOT of people involved in this industry, they're just not on CERB which means that you have to take your chances and hope for the best. If you do meet someone good, encourage them to CERB so we can grow the NS section and make it the place people want to be.

 

Variety is there to be had it just comes at a price. Some have paid it and won, some have not been so lucky.

 

As for traveling ladies...as has been said, many have visited and have had dates canceled, postponed or been messed with in some way. One established lady was treated so badly on a recent trip she was contemplating not coming back. No one likes deposits, many don't like to book ahead but it is those things that will get more traveling ladies here. You can't control what anyone else does, but you can control what you do. How bad to do want it and what will you do to get it? This is a two way street. Would you want to be left holding the bill after someone screwed you over? Neither would she.

 

There is also a steady stream of ladies from away agencies so it seems there is generally quite a bit of variety coming and going from the province.

 

Okay, random ramblings on a rather trying day.

[Guest p**h*x]

When compared to Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal yeah we're probably not quite on the same level. As others have already pointed out a few of the biggest reasons are the population, economy, cost of travel etc.

 

But I have to ask what kind of variety are you looking for? Is it something very specific? Because off the top of my head I can think of at least 10 reputable travelling ladies that have been to Halifax in the last month plus there are numerous established and recommended local ladies. For me I find it a challenge to keep with all the options available.

[Strokin' 696]

Based on the geographical issues and population of Halifax I think the variety is great. There are a number of ladies visiting on a regular basis.

 

My schedule can make it difficult to pre book in advance so I don't always have the opportunity to sample our visiting ladies. I would hate to cancel at the last minute.

 

We also have a number of great ladies based right here.

 

While we don't have the variety of larger cities its pretty good.

[Wolf Knight 29667]

I'm in a smaller market than Halifax and I can honestly say that my meagre means can't possibly keep up with the variety that we see here in St. John's as of late.

 

However, on a side note I did get to snag a date with Emily's bespectacled East Indian tattooed gymnast and she was fantastic. I can highly recommend.

[WriteOn 3250]

Like any other business it comes down to supply and demand. It's really that simple. Like it or not.

[edmund13 971]

After living in Ottawa for years and moving to Halifax 4 years ago, I can say that amount of lovely ladies to choose from has improved in Halifax in the past few years. It has it's ups and downs but overall I feel it has improved.

[splaton008 1568]

I have a bit of a different view. Hopefully the fine ladies of cerb will not take this the wrong way but as someone that travels a lot I find the price for types of services offered in Halifax to be quite high compared to other areas of the country. Montreal is a fine example, rates are considerably less with wonderful service. The traveling hobbyist knows this and will not hobby as much in the Maritimes. The average one hour rate in Montreal is $180. Even the GTA area has rates from $160 to $250 for a "complete" experience.Locally there is a similar situation with a few ladies and recently Natasha was in Halifax and due to her rate level I was more inclined to visit her and more often. I hate bringing up rates because every provider has their reasons to set their rates. I guess my point is their may be a happy medium involved when it comes to rates. I'm more likely to hobby more if I know I can see someone more often. Ex:$200 per hour instead of $300. I can see someone three times a month instead of twice. If I am running a business does $180-$200 an hour for six hours a day make more sense than $300-$350 an hour for two hours a day ?

 

Does this make any sense to my fellow hobbyists? It is just a thought and certainly not intended to suggest anyone is worth any less. Just thought I would throw it out there for discussion.

[CristyCurves 169032]

My post is not intended to insult you either and I can understand why anyone would want to save money BUT we are talking about a very sensitive subject and a business unlike any and a business that from one to another NO one can compare, nor should they want to. So to say because one charges $$ the other should and because it costs $$ in one city it should here. It sounds like you are the type who picks are a girl based more on her rates than any other criteria, so this posts leads me to believe. Which I find sad as many ladies that charge beyond the rate which you think is "fair" are made to feel as though, as you said, they are charging to much. Your last sentence I find well I'll just say funny!! If I charge less I'll get more business? NO! Back when I first dabbled in this business, back when the rate was 1/2 of what I now charge, I was told I had one of the best bodies out there, by men and women, and my service was very good as well. Back then men were still complaining and surmising as to how we should go about getting more business etc. So my point is-no matter what a lady has, no matter the quality of her service, no matter her location, or year, there will be someone complaining about how, where, when or why we should charge what we do, see this amount of clients, do things this way or that way, and it's always said by someone who isn't in the business, by a man, by someone who doesn't get that many of us are giving you a piece of ourselves, a very personal, honed, proudly offered, experience, well taken care of piece of ourselves. This " piece" isn't to be taken lightly nor should it's cost or value as it goes well beyond the dollar and it is and always will be incomparable, well at least to those who seek out a lady for more than just her hourly rate;)

[roamingguy 300292]

Where I live (smalltown Ontario) it has an even smaller number of companions, like zero. If you want to see other ladies something to consider, maybe travel to some other cities...every encounter I go to requires me to travel, be it to London, Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston or Ottawa. So if there is a lady that you'd like to see, maybe drive to her city (Halifax isn't the only city in the Maritimes)

And keep in mind there are ladies who also tour. Maybe book an encounter with a lady when she tours to Halifax.

This coming from a guy who lives in a town with no companions and considers that Halifax is blessed to have the many wonderful ladies it does, ladies I would love to meet and would if I lived closer

A morning rambling

RG

[splaton008 1568]

I have paid all kinds of rates to various providers all over North America and in some cases up to $450 per hour. In some cases the companionship was incredible and in other cases it was not very good. I try to be a gentleman and put hygiene as a major priority. I don't always see ladies on rate only as my many reviews on several boards will attest to, but if the service is good and we get along well then no worries ! I meant to imply that I am likely to BE ABLE to see a provider far more often if the rates are in line with my budget at the time. Certainly I respect a ladies right to set whatever rates she wants and prospective clients will determine if they can see her or not.

Thank you for your response and explanation, but let me use your analogy, from your previous post, when again you suggested a lady work 6 hrs at a lower rate bringing in more clients hence more money. Well how about a client who openly admits some rates are above his budget, work 6 hrs more, or better yet get a second or third job so he could hobby more;):)

Perhaps the misunderstanding of some clients towards why we charge what we charge and their expectations is part of the reason there isn't more of a variety of women here. However it is my belief that Halifax has a lot of wonderful ladies and a great variety for its size:)

[cutescott69 333]

I agree there are some wonderful ladies in Halifax. I also have no issues with whatever rates ladies choose to set - its their business. Assessment of 'value' or 'good deals' (not appropriate terms my apologies) is a very personal and subjective matter, so hard for someone to make generalizations.

 

There are other factors affecting selection some hobbyists however. I know of several highly recommended and respected providers in Halifax who require confirmation of a client's complete personal identity (real name, phone, workplace, etc.) I of course respect and understand their security protocol, but for those hobbyists with wife, kids, family, business connections etc. this level of disclosure is not feasible - thus further limiting choice of ladies. This is only my personal perspective, and not judging the practice in anyway, I just find less stringent protocol when hobbying in other cities in Canada (TO, Mtl, Ottawa).

[newboy 4919]

Some very good points. I guess mainstream porn has me, (and some others), wanting only early twenty someones with hard bodies and complete PSE services. That fantasy is the one that makes my cock so very hard!! I need more of that.

 

Additional Comments:

Where are all the young university hotties that need help with their education? Oh, where, where indeed are they when you need them?

[bcguy42 38594]

I'm not in Halifax so I cannot comment directly on the point of variety in the area other that to say there are more than a few advertisers there I find very attractive.

 

But as a comment to the general drift of some of the responses, I'm sensing a bit of the greener grass / fence thing. And, for me personally, if a person charges any given rate, that's the cost of admission I will gladly pay. And if it makes her (or him) feel more secure to know my grandmother's maiden name, I will gladly supply it. My intentions are to get naked with someone and they are going to have their teeth very close to a very sensitive part of me so there has to be a level of trust. If that trust isn't there, neither am I.

 

But that's just me...

Interesting response and I will agree a fantasy:) A fantasy that is, to only believe that early twenty something's are the ONLY ones with the hard bodies, lol. Have you not seen Katherine, a body to be envied by any age , there is also Bianca Jaguar and many others who are not twenty something's but most certainly proud owners of amazing physiques. So if you are limiting yourself to only that age, what a shame as you are missing out on so many wonderful women with bodies that are to be envied and adored:)

Screening/verification isn't just unique to Halifax. I see ladies in London, Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston and Ottawa and they require verification (full name, board handle, phone, email, reference etc, )

The ladies are discrete and will not disclose your information to your wife, kids, family, business connections etc. That would be very unprofessional on their part, and one thing the ladies are, is professional, and discrete. They just want to ensure their safety by verifying who you are. I've lost count of how many companions received my personal information. My family, friends, co-workers and neighbours don't know nor have a clue that I partake in this lifestyle. That is because information collected by ladies is treated confidentially.

And on the balance scale of life, yes your privacy is important. But the lady's safety is even more important. And she is being alone with a man intimately she doesn't know. If you don't trust the lady with your information, how can she trust you to be alone with intimately?

And starting off an encounter for the first time with mistrust isn't a good way for two people to meet intimately

My two cents

RG

[cutescott69 333]

Thanks for your comments.

 

Its just that the level of disclosure of private information that you personally are OK with as a client is not shared by everyone. As stated, I appreciate, understand and respect whatever protocol a provider requires. I'm just saying there are a group of clients who are not willing to take (what we perceive) as an unnecessary risk, thus limits the 'variety' in smaller markets. I suspect generally easier for single men to disclose than those with wives and families etc.

Yes Christy, I have seen Katherine. What a body!!! That's for sure! My fantasy for the 20 somthing hard bodies stiill persists. As far as them chasing the hard body male co-eds, they can come along too. After all, porn is porn, and the more the merrier!!! ;-)

[Wolf Knight 29667]

Cristy, thanks for the awesome laugh on this wonderful Friday. Very to-the-point and correct for the most part.

 

I think that there might an element of fantasy at play, or the aspect of finding a hidden gem as has been pointed out and in particular the wishes for a university student. In reality, it takes a VERY special lady to be able to offer herself intimately to strangers and that's why you won't see hordes of hot university students jumping at the chance to have sex with us "old guys". Sorry to shatter anybody's perception of self but most 19 year old university students consider you an old fart if you're over 30 and wouldn't touch most of us with a 10 foot pole. LOL.

 

Personally, I don't have a physical type so I find that selection and variety anywhere I've been including Halifax to be quite adequate in terms of my financial ability to partake. My advise is to open your horizons a little and allow yourself to experience ladies of all different sizes, shapes, colors and races. You might just be surprised at just how much "variety" is out there when you really look for it.

 

Oh BTW......having a market (Halifax) filled with 100 ladies who are all 21 years old, 5'6" 115lb, white with brown hair is not having "variety". Just a thought ;)

[Guest d*k***]

I've been reading this thread for a while...I really wanted to stay out of it, especially when rates are discussed etc... Christy and Splaton make valid points...IMHO they are both right.

I do travel and I paid anywhere from 100 to 500 for an h. and I paid 2500 for a great weekend, but not here.

at the end of the day for me, it's all about the attitude of the lady. Do I feel safe, comfortable, do I laugh, do I have a big grin on my face when I leave her place? If I get that, I'll repeat and the rate comes second. I used to look for the "hard bodies" - not anymore, attitude is everything.

Also if i am looking for something special, I may be OK to pay more than a "regular" rate - for example, you can easily pay 1000/h in Toronto for an actual porn star - a guy does that once just to say he did that. Is that a sustainable business for the lady? I don't know...

Everyone has their own system of calculating "value" - and it's nothing wrong with that...guys can afford different rates and looking for different experiences. Ladies charge different rates for different experiences - at the end of the day it's supply/demand and 4Ps of marketing :)

[Lyka 312]

I think everyone has their preferences which lady they would encounter ! Every city every places I've travelled to different selections .. As a touring ladies we do appreciate serious clienteles , it gets expensive with flights and hotels! But I do value our time together!

Your privacy and discretion are respected but there are protocols to which of us provider must follow to take extra caution for our safety!

 

I will be visiting tomorrow and would like to see most of you Gentlemen in Halifax! Looking forward to..;)

 

Xoxo
