Let us think about this. For example. You are on your way to meet an SP or MA, you are minutes away then apparently, your girlfriend/wife phones and you cancel. hmmmmm. Pretty hard to re-book now and lost income prevails for the lady. But hey, just a cost of doing business. Don't think so. A cancellation fee is the "least" of what should be paid in this scenario.

There is a social group called Foreign Affairs. Seems like the logical place for this type of thread.

I'm certain it wasn't my aim, at least, and I don't think the objective of others in any of this was to satisfy or convince you, Cato. More than one have suggested it, and more than one have deemed it a good idea that this sort of content be moved to an appropriate forum. Let's let the Mod decide if they are convinced and satisfied, since it's their board. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else of value can be added to what has already become a circular argument.

Thanks for your opinion, Berlin. As this thread has received 1071 hits as of now, I guess some members, at least, find it of interest, though. And it's not required reading for anybody :)

I was able to drop in during their Christmas Party- "Festive Titties" and may I say there was some very beautiful titties to stare at:redface: Also had the pleasure to meet the very sexy Geri for a session while I was there. It was the most pleasurable,sensual and a very sexy hour appointment with her. If you get a chance to visit her before she departs, do so, she is a knock out! Now that I'm got up in my membership, I will be looking forward to the New Year :) Again thanks to Jasmine and her gorgeous staff for operating a great Christmas gathering!

This isn't much of a rant . I just wanted to put it out there . I wanted to for awhile but didn't. Mabye it's just me , but do some of you find the restricted caller thing annoying? Don't get me wrong , I do understand that you guys like your privacy just as much as us sp's do. I respect that. I don't mind answering certain questions such as services, rates and appearance . When a guy wants to know my Incall location I ask him to call me or txt me with a number showing only for safety reasons. Most guys are very respectfull of that request and do so. I just don't like when a guy is rude and hangs up on you , or asks vulgar questions , like you can tell when someone is making a serious inquiry or just playing around. I don't mind if guys call me restricted but at least be respectfull and understandable.

I nominate Leah's bum as one of the best bums on CERB.

Like I said before you're entitled to your opinion as I am. Take what I said anyway you want. Now, I am going to enjoy the rest of my days off with my family and friends rather than argue with people on an Escort Review Board about who is right and who is wrong. Opinions are like bumholes, everyone has one. All the best in the New Year! Lauren

I believe that a select few gentlemen fail to take into account the VAST majority of the traffic/membership of this board is garnered by the LADIES active participation, visibility and advertising content - ie: Pictures/Ads ect. There are MANY, MANY websites dedicated solely to the hobbyists' reviews/opinions and those sites (in Ottawa at least) are ghost towns..and are no where near as active as cerb. I know there are a few personalities who truly believe there voices are more important to the success of cerb than female participation, which is a totally false assumption. Of the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of members there are only a very small few who choose to be negative, bossy & controlling. And 99.999% of the traffic to cerb and business to the advertisers is from the "Thousands of others".. Kim

I understand what the ladies are saying. And Berlin has a valid point about getting our recommendations from foreign boards. But I kinda think like this: If I'm somewhere...say New York, and looking for a good restaurant...I would rather take the recommendation of a neighbor or friend than rely on some local tourist brochure to point me in the right direction. I trust my neighbor not to steer me wrong...the guy who wrote the brochure, I don't know from Adam. Maybe a dedicated section for this kind of thing has merit. Not knowing the 'flavour' of the foreign board, hobbyists would have no way of knowing if the board is well moderated, nor would we have the ability to quickly distiguish if the reco is a shill or not. It's simply a backyard we don't play in often, and maybe they have different rules.

Just giving my reason why I do not visit chat anymore. There is eight pages on chat etiquette, any where from a man looking to pull out his penis out to show and tell, OR men asking ladies to show more on cam, back door chat rooms with nothing accomplished other then this 8 page thread on etiquette and complaints about members going into private chat rooms, so I just don't visit the chat room...what is wrong with that? what is out of context? other than my choice of not visiting the chat room? If you visit the chat room enjoy your stay and have fun,this is my own preference of not visiting, but please ensure you play nicely inside the chat rooms.

Everyone here has the right to decide to stop or to never visit the chat room however, with all due respect Pete I find your comment out of context. Being away or in private conversations from my perspective does not go against chat etiquette. Those are just personal choices some members make for different reasons and I don't think they disrespect anyone by doing so. Perhaps the members you refer to choose to do that because they contact those they are interested to chat with as opposed of being approached by anyone.

I'm just getting warmed up!!

Perhaps there should be a section for that as well. I agree with Berlin that it is not relevant to this board, outside of being a sort of "Penthouse Letters" that I'm sure many (apparently over 1000) will still enjoy reading. Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515a using Tapatalk

Isabella, this reminded me of my very first encounter with an escort ten years ago. I also had very limited experience with women in the romantic sense. (I won't bore you with the sexy details.) My first instinct was to run for the hills. But I took a deep breath and went through with the date. The whole time I imagined that any minute the police were going to kick in the door. I also envisioned her boyfriend barging in any minute. Fortunately nothing bad happened. Although, my anxiety prevented me from enjoying my time with the lady. (No happy ending) Perhaps this is what was going through your client's mind? This does not excuse his behavior in any way. Aggressive behavior is never tolerated . IMO, if a client decides to cancel the date after arriving. He should anticipate a cancellation fee of some kind.The next time he books with that SP he should be required to pay in advance. Either by credit card, or e-mail transfer.

I don't believe in Cancelation Fees. if we are exceptional service providers, we will always be able to fill the space of a cancelation, not to mention making really good money. To bring up a cancelation fee the next time we see a client who has had to cancel in my opinion is tasteless.....unless he is a total jerk and then you don't book with him again. Simple....no? i just appreciate the fact that those who have had to cancel come back without me asking for an extra fee. That mentality doesn't sit quite right with me. To each there own! Lauren

It has been quite a while. This is totally irresistible. http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/album.php?albumid=3078 SNS724

I think this is a great topic and even though I tour full time, the policy of a cancellation fee would still apply even if I was solely based in 1 city full time. I feel that if you want to charge a cancellation fee, you need to state it either on your website and/or in your confirmation email. That gives ample opportunity for the gentleman or couple to understand your policy's. This is something you need to be upfront about so there is no misunderstanding later. I dont think anyone would lose business because of implementing such a fee. We run a business like any other person and time is money. Like anything else, if you don't like a lady's policy or screening look elsewhere. I understand things come up last minute, but lets be honest here, how many car accidents really happen in one day? Your doctor charges $50 for an appointment cancelled within 24hrs, does he lose your business? Chances are no, do you bitch about it, No you don't you accept as his policy for an appointment that was cancelled on short notice. What I think some people do not understand is, most of us do not sit around all day waiting for our phone to ring and take any call we get. For those of us who screen and book ahead, all we want is our time respected. Implementing a fee for cancellation is a way of ensuring that our time does not get abused buy chronic cancellers or people with no respect to our time. I have only ever had to use the rebooking/cancellation fee 4 times in the last year, id say pretty good considering it only needed to be enforced in one city. Don't get me wrong, I understand life happens and people do have to cancel, but be respectful in the manner you do so.

Realistically the only way that a cancellation fee would work is if everyone was to get together and do it.. However, I don't think that is going to happen and as a result it may alienate you and actually might turn off potential clients and cost you even greater losses long term. I totally get you, and we get no shows and last min cancellations too. It is really unfortunately part of the Ottawa scene. Totally sux, and if someone is a no show, or if we have to call the client to find out that he cant make it, we blacklist them.. Eventually if more ppl would do this I think the message would get across these guys.

I find this situation easy to avoid, either: 1) Dump the spouse; or 2) Get one whom does not make you feel like hobbying anymore; or 3) Get one whom appreciates you and your hobby. Works for me - never been caught - EVER!! ;) Good Luck!
