IslandHobbiest 289 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 It would be nice to get a meet and greet up! I know people don't want others to know who they are. But we are all in the same boat, so it could be a good time! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyRushton 253372 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 To be honest, if people kept their encounters instead of cancelling on short notice, more ladies would probably come for a visit to PEI. It is hard to justify a trip there when everyone, except for a few gentleman think it is ok to book and cancel with zero notice. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 Perhaps paying more attention to ads is helpful as well. I was recently in PEI and for days after my return received questions regarding my visit. Read the ads and visit while we are there please. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EC10 252 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 I think the overall quiet nature of the boards here is probably responsible for that, Katherine. Often you can go more than a week with no changes here, so people forget to check. It's a circular problem because no activity actually causes people to stop checking, and then when there is activity people don't notice it and SPs are likely to think that there is no local demand. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you EC10, I'm not a heavy poster but I do my best to give a weeks notice which is pretty fair I think. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 For myself, I am more likely to visit in summer/spring months. The reason being 2 fold: 1. I have a cottage so it is a win win no matter if I have many visitors, 2. If I do end up with cancelations, no worries...I will head to the beach:) My visits there have gone both ways.... Busy as heck...or too many no shows. If anyone else notices, hotels are very expensive ( maybe winter is cheaper ) so for half of the "inquiries" who actually do arrive, it just doesn't make it :( You can not compare local rates when hotels, restaurants and toll bridges are to considered:( I have cherished friends here, and may plan another visit during winter, but will be at a limited availability. Most ladies here, will advertise for at least a week or 2...why contact us 3 days after we leave? DATES ARE ALWAYS STATED ON ADS... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superfish 866 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 In the 3 years I've been here I've never seen more than 3-4 locals (independent) working at any given time. Touring SPs tend to come more frequently during tourist season. This only makes sense. If you are hard up for company you can always call the local agency its in the phone book. Other wise I'd suggest waiting out the dry spell. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted December 4, 2013 And a suggestion, if you want touring ladies to come to PEI perhaps pay them a deposit. If that was done a lady would know a potential client is serious about seeing her instead of worrying about a scheduled encounter being a last minute no show RG 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been blessed in PEI with some gentlemen I can count and its worth visiting but that said there are many difficult times when people just don't bother to show. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron40 133 Report post Posted December 5, 2013 Didn't realize there was a problem with islanders, as all I ever see are posts from off island sps complimenting PEI on their time here and how they were treated. Personally I prefer local indy SPs... when available. I have little interest in trying to nail down an exact 1hr period with an escort from away, who may be here for a couple of days. I don't even try to book times with such SPs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newpeiguy06 257 Report post Posted December 5, 2013 Great point roamingguy, I would be very willing to do such a thing especially if it was the difference of an sp visiting or passing. I do enjoy local sp's from time to time, some have proved to be quite enjoyable and a good value. Although it is nice to have new sp's visit from time to time, I must admit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is however a large number of no shows and cancellations so unless you are fortunate enough to have those few to count on ladies can't return.

CristyCurves 169032 Report post Posted December 14, 2013 before I signed up for cerb I stopped over on PEI for a few days and posted on another site whose name i wont mention and the one thing I noticed about the men in PEI is that they do not respect your rate, they push and see how far they can go with manipulaion and games (ie. "other girls dont charge that much here"," I can see someone for half that price")Please realise this is insulting, I do not get here by magic carpet ride, and although I appreciate your offer to stay at your place during my stay here, no that is not a good idea and will not get you a discount on your appt!!! Ivy that happens here as well, probably everywhere. Put an ad in the newspaper and you'd be shocked at some of the inquiries, rate "suggestions" and other comments. Where ever you have a difference in rates, low to high you'll have some men thinking that all the rates should be low. I don't know about PEI I have only visited there, not worked there. I will say I loved my visit and the Island. Halifax is notorious with cancellations and no shows and low ballers and yes a lot of those guys are cerbies:( Sadly, being a cerb member doesn't guarantee good manners or thoughtfulness.

Just to be clear not all men on PEI are like that so please don't lump us all in together please. While stating that I can see someone else for half that price is indeed insulting insinuating that all men from a specific area are the same is equally insulting!

stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted December 14, 2013 Please understand that I am not attempting to say that we are without fault, quite the contrary actually. I fully understand the reputation my province has in the SP/hobbyist community. Hell I see it for myself on a fairly regular basis both online and in person since the day I joined Cerb years ago. That said let me make myself abundantly clear I don't agree with negotiating for deals with SPs. The donation is the donation and that is that. If you can't afford to see the lady in question...don't. I suppose the same can be true in reverse as well. It is possible that the donation amount asked by some ladies is higher than what can be sustained in this province but that is a discussion for another time and one that I am not about to get involved in. All in all I find Cerb to be the most trustworthy and reliable of the sites available to us. The use of CL and BP although sometimes helpful are usually a train wreck, at least in my experience and opinion. I have found that once this site is discovered, by male and female alike, negativity takes a huge blow. Cerb does not eliminate the negotiating, deceit, etc. but it severely limits it spread and use. So speaking strictly for myself I would stay clear of using CL, BP and their equivalents. A little piece of advice to the negotiators...stop it! I have long ago grown sick of hearing and reading about this problem. Plus the inevitable threads of why don't SP's come to PEI grow equally tiresome. You would almost think the two topics were related somehow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted December 14, 2013 I know some girls that charge 300.00 or even more , every girl values herself at what she feels she deserves, and no one can negotiate what a woman feels her worth is :) I agree, that is why I charge $9.99 for 5 hours of my time. :biggrin: 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted December 15, 2013 Just a piece of advice - from the SP Side of things Those who tend to ask for a reduced rate for the donation tend to be ignored immediately As stevecurious said if you cant afford the rate of the donation than see someone who you can afford! But quality is better than quantity and the girls don't just increase their rate because they want to milk you for as much as they can, for most women we treat this as a business because it is just that - and with running a business you have expenses (Ie. incall location, hotel fee, transportation costs{car insurance-gas-payments}, internet bill to maintain contact, cell phone bill to reply to the countless number of texts asking the same questions posted in the ad where you got my number from lol and than the amount of time that goes into preparing for an encounter , I don't just throw on a bra and panties and throw my hair in a ponytail.... No - I want to make you feel like this was quite possibly the best decision calling me and that you think I look so F******* hot and my hair looks incredible and my lingerie with my heels is so sexifying lol I don't want to just be the 100 craigs l!st girl you call up when you have some free time I want you to look forward to booking an appointment with me because you know that I value you choosing me, and that I want to give you the best experience during our encounter .When you show up and there is the beverage you mentioned that you like, and scented candles and whatever extras I can do to personalize the experience is what makes the reason why I charge $250.00 worth every penny :) I know some girls that charge 300.00 or even more , every girl values herself at what she feels she deserves, and no one can negotiate what a woman feels her worth is :) As long as you are happy with your donation weather it's $200 or $500 that is the only factor that matters . What other people think is quite immaterial . Those who wish to pay $100 and are happy with that fine and dandy . It's a big world and full of choices . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
