I have been VERY, VERY fortunate and have only had something like this happen to me with one client (normally I do not use the term "client" when referring to my gentleman callers, but this guy doesn't deserve to be called a gentleman...as is the case with Rachelle's "Fred" ;)). I saw him 3 times in total. The first time he came over, he failed to mention that he only wanted a 30 minute rendezvous (incidentally, I no longer offer 30 minute rendezvous'). Well, he ended up staying for 2 hours and only paid me for 30 minutes. I should also mention that at the time I was offering a promotional rate so I did not even receive my usual rate. I blamed myself for not asking how long he wanted to set the rendezvous for, at the time of the booking. I was still fairly new to the business and not 100% confident in myself and how to handle these types of situations, so I considered it a learning experience. A few weeks later he booked another rendezvous. I begrudgingly agreed to see him...once again, this is where being new to the business plays a role in my poor decision. I felt like I "had" to see whoever wanted to book with me. This time I made sure to ask how long he wanted to see me for. He said 30 minutes. Well, he ended up trying to stay longer but I told him that I had another rendezvous to prepare for and that I was pressed for time. He handed me the donation and went on his way. I counted it after he left and realized that he had paid me the discounted promotional rate which had expired a couple of weeks earlier. So this time, he shorted me by $20. Again, being naive and having little confidence in myself and my rights, I blamed myself for not informing him that the promotion was over and I let it slide. For the next little while I avoided him. I told him that I was unavailable or already booked when he would try to book a rendezvous. I finally caved and decided to see him again. He had been rather nice in his emails and believe it or not, I actually felt guilty for avoiding him. I was SO naive :(. This time he wanted to see me for an hour. He showed up with 3 bottles of beer which was very nice but I guess he figured that because he brought me a "gift", he was entitled to more of my time. 3 hours later, I'm all but shoving him out the door. I know, I know...I have no one to blame for myself for letting him stay well past the time that was agreed upon to begin with. Once again, he hands me the donation and foolishly I wait until he has left to count it. You can imagine my disgust when I discovered that he had only given me $50!!! But wait...it gets better!!! He then texts me and tells me that he has a confession! He proceeds to tell me, vis text, that he is the person who had been FLAMING me on another review board (turns out he had a crush on me and I guess he thought that flaming me would hurt my business and possibly get me to stop working in the business altogether...who knows...)!!! Now, I'm pissed!!! I texted him back telling him that what he did was horrible AND I point out to him that he owed me a substantial amount of money. That's when he started getting belligerent. He told me that he had been very generous with me (WHAT???) and that he now saw me for who I truly was (his words). He called me greedy and he referred to me as a woman of ill repute (again his exact words). He told me that he had been planning to ask me out but changed his mind because he deserved better than me. I told him that I would have not accepted his invitation in the first place. He then proceeded to tell me that all SPs are greedy and dishonest and he had obviously been "looking for love in all the wrong places" (yes, his exact words once again). He sent me about 50 text messages that night. He went from being apologetic, then to being angry, then to being rude, then to threatening me and then back to being apologetic. I repeatedly told him that he was to never contact me again but the text messages just kept coming. I ignored him and he finally gave up for the night. The next day, a few more texts came in as well as a few emails. I ignored them at first but then finally had to tell him that I would file a complaint against him for harassment. Thankfully, that put an end to it. I think that's when I began to realize that if I was going to make it in this business I was going to have to stand up for myself and my rights and I've been doing pretty well ever since! In retrospect it was a small price to pay for a very valuable lesson :D.

I had the chance to meet Sasha today who was introduced to me by Jolie. I met her at an east end apartment and man she is faboulous. Sasha is friendly, sweet, playful and easy to chat with. She provides a true GFE experience with everything you would expect - great body and very passionate. Her pics do not do her justice as she is much hotter in person with breast to die for.She is young and in excellent shape. I will not go into the details of the session but I can say with confidence that I will definetly be going back for more. All I can say if you have chance you should give her a try.:grin:

I'll try and make this simple. Good: Pigale', Nu Den, Bare Fax, Barbarella's. Not Recommended based on my experience: Playmate, Taboo, Cabaret Canada.

Advertising revenue? LOL.. No, this site makes so little in advertising right now it doesn't even begin to put a scratch in the overhead costs to run a board like this. We do not push advertising or make it mandatory to pay for advertising in order to post ads. We will be adding more ad spaces to the site (hence the new wider format of the site layout) because as the site continues to grow it will be necessary to do this as escorts-canada will only be able to support the site by itself up to a certain level than additional advertising revenue will be required. The formula is simple... The more ladies that participate on the board (place ads, contribute, post photos, use chat, etc...) the more men the site will appeal to. The threads and the recommendations are also a HUGE part of the appeal to the site but the ladies having a safe place to come and be part of the community is the entire concept of this site so in order for the site to continue to grow we need the ladies to want to be part of our community. You all help make the site what it is and with your contributions it helps make the site mutually beneficial to everyone. In the world of websites the basic rule is "Traffic = Value" The higher our membership count is the higher the site traffic becomes and in turn the higher the site traffic becomes the bigger our operating budget becomes as from a business perspective the higher the traffic the higher the value. Why? The operating revenue for cerb comes from escorts-canada.com (Our company owns both sites as most of you know). Cerb sends a few thousand visitors a day to escorts-canada. To pay for that traffic from other sources it would cost about 4000.00 a month (at this time) in advertising so instead of paying some other site for advertising we simply use the money to operate cerb and escorts-canada actually saves a little on its advertising budget this way and the advertising budget used goes to cerb (a good investment for everyone) This pays for staff, hosting costs, chat room costs, bandwidth, license fees for software, software upgrades, server upgrades, etc... etc... The banners right now are a BONUS to our budget and allow us to purchase stuff like the "REPORT A USER" feature in the chat (I think that was 150.00 US) and the banner system in the chat room (I think that was another 200.00). The next purchase with the banner revenue will be to do the template work to the site to add the additional banner spaces I mentioned above to the new wider layout. This will be about 500.00-700.00 I suspect to do the HTML/CSS/PHP work required to add the banner spots where we need them. This will give us some more "bonus" revenue for now to help the site grow even more. We have no intention of making cerb a profitable website. It would be nice to have enough advertising revenue to make itself sustaining but that will probably take a number of years more to reach that point.
