Generally speaking I have already liked my guest before we have even met. I spend some time chatting and kibitzing well before a date, I don't know what my date looks like but by meeting time its all immaterial. I have talked , emailed so much its a certain good time . The connection has been made and it all appreciative after I open the door!

With a new client, I tell myself that I am going to corrupt him with my feminine wiles. Hehe. I can spot personalities right away and have a plan to conduct the session adjust to all different types. I am always myself without a put on but there are some guys who don't say much or are very shy so I basically adapt to their personality.Usually it takes a few minute to see if someone is going to be a d*ck whether they are attempting to be too grabby or pushy or ask inappropriate questions. My advice to guys is never walk in the door and give the lady the up and down look. We don't like that! With good long standing regulars, it's like seeing an old friend. I have this one regular and he so nice. He one of those happy people to be around and it carries over to me when I see him. I locked keys in car at store when I was supposed to be on my way at my location to meet him and he picked me up. We talk about everything and I do tarot cards for him and then he told me one of my predictions came true. lol.

She is retired . Some ladies think joining this industry is a trip to fast easy money . Unless you are a long term companion this is not true. It takes several years to build a solid , reliable reputation . Ladies who preserve and take the time to build valuable regular clients will never have to drop away. However if you take your guests for granted and deliver unsatisfactory service you will be retired just as fast.....

Yes, last minute cancelations are a real pain! Thankfully, I don't experience them too often, but, sometimes, they come in waves and that is frustrating because it can make a whole day a practical write off. I find this especially true for me because I build in a generous amount of time between appointments for self care...relaxing, making sure I make time for meals, etc., etc., so, not only is the timeframe of the appointment lost, but also any potential appointments one turned down in the planned 'break times' in between...So, a last minute cancellation on a one hour booking can potentially result in pretty much a whole afternoons income lost. I find the following things to be helpful for me: For new and repeat clients booking days and weeks in advance, I ask for confirmation of a date the day before by or before 4pm. If I do not receive confirmation, I assume the date is not a go ahead and open up my schedule for other bookings. I have had a few people get frustrated with me over this if/when they lose their opportunity to see me because they failed to confirm on time, but pre bookings are not an automatic right. They are a privilege and also something I greatly appreciate but only when a gent respects my time and confirmation protocols. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of pre booking. And, if contact is initiated first through email or text, I ask for that to be followed up by a phone call AT THE TIME OF RESERVATION, even if it is weeks in advance, and this also goes for when I am visiting Ottawa. While it does not prevent time wasters, or cancellations or no shows in general, it increases my confidence that the intended booking is sincere and makes the interaction more personal. I have actually had gentlemen tell me that the phone conversation makes them feel more accountable to respecting my time and more excited to see me because it is more personal...also meaning not waiting until the last minute to inform me of a cancellation, but rather telling me in advance even if they think they may not be able to honour their appointment because they do not want to lose out on the chance to see me in the future. For my Ottawa visits, I have had a few gentlemen come across as somewhat irritated that they would have to call me weeks in advance of a date in order to reserve a time with me. However, I stick to my protocols and most totally understand why I ask for this call. The call not only lets me know they are a sincere about booking, it lets me assess how they come across, and if I want to take the appointment at all. If someone sounds like a jerk, I don't want to block off 2, 3, 4, 5, hours of my time, only to find out the day before that I don't want to see this person. Similar to what some of the other ladies in this thread have stated, I also ask that a check in happens an hour before meeting. If I don't hear from a gent by then, I know things are a no go, and because I accept same day appointments, often from regular and repeat clients, many of whom are spontaneous about checking in about my availability, then I am able to give them the appointment time or at least a start time shortly thereafter. I know some ladies do not provide same day appointments due their business models that work for them (total respect for that), but I find that offering same day appointments really helps me on a number of levels. And, for sure, cancelations happen for very real reasons, and so I take that into account, but if it becomes a repeated issue with a given client (due to an unpredictable schedule), and say, it isn't too last minute and it is someone I am choosing to see again, I may say that I prefer if they check in with me same day to inquire about my availability and if we can work something out, then great. If someone cancels on me last minute, with few exceptions, (here in Kingston) I ask for a $100 cancellation fee payable at our next appointment if I choose to see them at all. For some, they will refuse to pay and just never call back, but for those who have already seen me, more often than not they will pay the fee. This helps to offset lost income, and also increases the likelihood that they will honour their bookings and/or at least to provide me with more advanced notice when they cannot make an arranged meeting time in the future. Have I potentially 'lost' clients over staying firm on my protocols, sure. But, they are not the client base I want and it prevents a lot of headaches and frustration for me. And, even with all of this, last minute cancellations still happen. Jenny, take a little comfort in knowing it is not you. We ladies know what you are going through. Hugs! Anna

I do not consider any appointment as being confirmed until the client calls a minimum of an hour for prebookings and half hour for same day bookings ahead to let me know he's on his way at which time I will give him the address of my visitor parking. When he arrives there then he needs to call again for my unit number.

Just one word of caution, when a lady books a client and gives the building address, only give the guy the buzz code. Do not give them the apartment number and tell them when they do buzz up to NOT address you by your working name as others may be coming through the front door. If your real name is on the buzzer list, ask the building management to change it to "occupied" because of privacy reasons or a former relationship gone bad. And if you have a monitor on the t.v. to watch people come in, even better. This way you can see if they come through the front door when you buzz them in. Anyone can claim to be in the area but if you want to take it one step further a landmark like a strip mall, gas station close to your place with a payphone will suffice. There are gentlemen out there who jumped through my hoops because they respected my safety. And I appreciate that. :)

I don't want to steer the conversation in a different direction but I thought I would add to Kate's point about the address and location when giving it out to clients. Sometimes if I have doubts I will make the person call from a payphone to make sure they're in the area. Many ladies who used to escort years ago and before cell phones would make clients call from the nearest payphone to make sure they were in the area. In fact, I knew one gal who told me that she had a bird's eye view from her balcony apartment to the payphone she would get her clients to call from. With technology these days, spoofing numbers and texting apps, privacy is always a must but you still have to go with your gut instincts which is why I always make sure I speak with them on the phone and I ask to call them back. It's kind of like being a bloodhound sniffing them out so to speak and if my intuition is yelling "No!", I excuse myself and hang up without booking them. I know within 20 seconds whether I want to meet a person or not. They could sound like the nicest person in the world but if something really throws me off whether it's how they speak to me, the type of questions they ask, I listen to that inner voice, always! Same goes for text with the type of questions they ask. I will never book strictly by text or give out the address in text in case someone's wife were to find it or people who have no boundaries, etc.

Cancellations and no-shows are a fact of life, not just in this line of work but in all lines of work. Dentists, physicians, hair dressers, etc.... they have all had people not show for appointments or cancel without rescheduling. It happens. You can't control what other people do but you can sure as hell control what you allow them to get away with. Many ladies have a policy where if a gent cancels with less than a certain amount of notice given, he is to pay an additional fee on his next visit. Other ladies have a policy where a deposit is required to book again. Both are useful and will help weed out the chronic timewasters. And the point about having a gent confirm the appointment shortly before is a must, in my opinion. Don't give out your location, just your general area (nearest major intersection) and have clients phone you when they are there to get the address and directions. Clients who have no intention of showing up will often just not bother to make that confirmation call and you can go ahead and make a note of their number so you can decide if you want to bother answering if they call again. Don't be afraid to impose rules on your clients. The ones worth seeing will be happy to oblige.

probably because it crosses the line of discretion....

I'm starting to get a headache in regards to clients cancelling. I have no idea what to do to prevent it or if I CAN prevent it. Lately, my only method has been to mention that cancelling adds a small amount to the next time they want to meet, as that weeds out guys that would reschedule repeatedly and keep not showing up. And, clients that act like I've personally insulted them for doing so I probably wouldn't have wanted to meet anyways due to that absurd sense of entitlement. I mean, I get it, but I wish they'd understand it's also my job. When you cancel, that's me throwing away money. Like your boss calling you into work and then burning your paycheque in front of you and saying "lol never mind you don't work today". If you're going to schedule, make sure you actually have the time for it. On another note, is it at all possible that people fake accounts out of spite to book with girls they don't like and then back out? Has that been a thing, ever?

Seeing many puppies in Vancouver today... Not sure what's up with that but it's nice!

Go HABS go!

Hello GrassHopper et al. Here's an old-school trick which might help in the future and actually works on, most if not all, operating systems. "The hosts file" is part of every computer and, now days, is used as a blacklist of known bad sites and servers. It is checked before the computer tries to go to a site on the Internet. So if an address matches in the list you will simply get a "server cannot be found" message or an empty window. This also stops bad software from contacting home to download more offensive ads or viruses. This file exists in different locations depending on the kind of computer you have. [eg. Windows, Mac, or Linux] and the normal approach is to use free add-on software which updates the file periodically. As you can imagine the hosts file size can become huge and may slow down computers that are older than six years. However most software allows you to limit the size of the file. Without further adieu, here's a link covering most of the free software out there and complete background on how the hosts file works. Please do not be intimidated by the Geekyness of this page. Detailed information is at the top with the software near the bottom. Hosts File software. (a.k.a There's no place like 127.0.0.1) PatrickGC

no shows or cancelling on a regular basis to me = no respect at all to the ladies in this industry. it rarely happens that I have to cancel at the last minute, but I ALWAYS contact the escort or MA in advance. it has recently happened to me that an escort was supposed to see me, and she claimed she had car trouble, and texted me at the time she was supposed to arrive. she made no effort to make other arrangements to meet. so I was not impressed at all. but it does happen.

not all that use bp are bad, I have had some very good clients through bp and other advertising, but you learn how to screen them and get a 'vibe' for the genuine ones. Don't be afraid to let them know that you will give the location 15-20 minutes before the appointed time. If they are truly serious, they will be there, but, there are a lot of timewasters out there. Try giving a location that you can perhaps see from your windows as an area for them to contact you in. Or if there is some kind of landmark that you can use,, and have them describe it to you once they reach it, preferably not too far from your actual location. I did this in one of my locations. I could see directly into a parking lot (where they could park their vehicle safely) but it also gave me the opportunity to see if they were indeed serious, lol The 'I'm in the area' bs, you have no way of knowing, especially if they do not know your location. If you haven't given out the location, even a general area, they could be anywhere. bp can be quite a lucrative marketing area, if we could get the scum of the earth to stop wasting time, lol. Don't be afraid to put in your ads that you are looking for serious inquiries. If it takes a lot of texting, calls or looks like timewasting, it probably is. Hopefully this helps a little, but hang in there, you will find a solution :-)

beautiful day out instead of rain and snow, what a difference the sun being out makes. Took a walk along the boardwalk, lovely spring day :-)

meeting someone new and feeling the connection, nothing better:)

Just had a thought. Let's reverse the situation and ask the same question. Would you as a client, who I assume values discretion, send a picture of your face to a complete stranger who may or may not end up meeting you? Be sure to send a pic. everytime you get asked to!

Sadly all that just comes with this. There are tons of guys out there that book with no intention of actually coming to see you. I have had it where the guy even book days even weeks in advance, sound very sincere and respectful and even confirms and call when they are 'in the area' and never show up. That is why I never give the full address when booking. I agree with a previous comment about pimps trying to mess with other girls(I have even googled numbers after a no show and saw that it was another working girls number) but I also think some guys just like imagining us 'getting ready for them' and get off on that..When I get a no show I never text asking where they are etc because I know that is what they want. Certainly sometimes stuff does happen and you can't control it but usually you can tell who is just making excuses and playing games. Cancelling 10 minutes before an apt usually doesn't help lol. Thankfully this doesn't happen too often and the men who are gentlemen all make up for it :D

I'm sorry for you Jenny, but hang in there we all get them. I know that hearing this won't solve the issue but hopefully it will console you a bit. To answer your last question, I believe so. But cancellations happen for a myriad of reasons from the legitimate to the down right felonious and spiteful. I find asking for an email money transfer for pre-bookings helps and have potential clients call an hour or so before meeting to confirm, if they don't call move on. That way there isn't much time wasted. I believe it was Nicholette who recommended this to me and it helps. Remember the good times when the bad arise, that'll make them pass more quickly and know you aren't alone:)

I feel your pain! Is tricky on cancellations cause on one hand at least they canceld and didn't pull a no show, But on the other hand you can't tell if it is a sincer cancellation. I had one person that did it over and over, so I told him I won't bother booking him anymore. Sent me a big sob story, and never heard from him for about a year. Then when I was in his city, he tried to book again, I explained that I will not book him as the history we had so far was not good. He then said, ohh so sorry I was having a hard time then. I still refused to book him. So in this case the only thing I could do is just plainly refuse him for now on. On occation they cancel because they are new and nervous, if it is the second time I ask them if this is why . Then explain to them how it messes us up when this happens. I gently say they are welcome to book one more time , but if canceled then I will refuse a future engagement. And yes, sadly sometimes there is a jealous person behind it too. Some people just get off on the power trip from messing up our day.

Something that I find a turn off is when one companion pronounces her opinion of how other companions conduct their business publically on a board like this. Every lady has a business model that works for them. To publically make comments and posts as if there is one "right" way to do things and thus by extension every other way is wrong, and their way is the only right way. And then posting it publically for other ladies and prospective clients to read is a major turn off A second major turn off, said before, but deserves repeating. It is plagiarism whether in ad titles and content, or outright stealing of websites Any lady who plagiarises is stealing, and I am left wondering if she would steal another lady's ads/websites etc, what else would she steal A rambling RG

Ok, let's make it clear... 1. We do have pictures. It's our first contact with you. The most beautiful ones are the one SELLING. 2. Some of us are paying CRAZY money for them. Photographers, suits, background decor... 3. We are not all Spinner models. Some of us are older, having some things to hide (I, for myself, have tattoos and light strechmarks). When we pay for our pics, they are modified. Not photoshopped, but certainly ''enhanced''. Tone is corrected, we strike some poses to be at our best. And yes, sometimes, they don't show everything. Strech marks are not the best sellers. If I don't show them, do I modify my pics? NO! I'm showing what I want to show, and accusing somebody of posting fake pics could be very dammageable for there reputation. Please, when you look at our pics and call us, ASK US if we have ''factory default'' as it may not be fake pics, but what we are hiding could be a turn off.

If you run the pics through google images, most of them have appeared in elsewhere on the net including other escort ads with different names.

Boom in the playoffs, what a run by the sens.... Great to see 5 CDN teams, but some will face each other.

Last year, my landlord answered one of my ads. He used the same email address he uses for everything else, so I knew who he was, right away. I was just honest and said it was too close for comfort, same as I do for all the guys in my own town. Around that time, we were planning to move out of the house that we'd previously rented from him, but which his ex had taken from him in court after their split. He was very keen to have us move into another of his premises, despite now being fully aware of what I do. (He insists that he had no inkling prior, and I believe that, as I'm ultra discreet.) We did move into our old landlord's other place, but it's not the same as renting from him before. He seems determined to gouge us on the rent, charging us a much higher rate than he previously charged for this apartment, and nearly as much as he does for his other place, which is a better apartment. It really sucks the way people suddenly get dollar signs in their eyes when they find out what we do. It also sucks that they suddenly get the attitude that we have no rights under the law (like the landlord/tenant act, for example) because of it. They're going to get a big surprise on that last point! But it's especially hurtful when the person behaving this way is a customer. Of course, he insists he's not. He just happened to see my ad and responded to it, for, you know, no real reason. Uh huh.

It sucks, but sometimes cancellations are legitimate and a fact of life Speaking for myself, I cancelled last minute on a touring lady due to illness. What I did was still pay her in full for the encounter...why should she be out plane fair, hotel fees etc due to my illness Another time I had to postpone on a lady but when I re-booked a few weeks later I increased our time together and increased her tip...for the inconvenience What I would suggest, is first implementing screening/verification for prospective clients. What it has involved, and only seen from this guy's vantage point, is providing a lady my real name, board handle confirmed by PM, email and phone number. You likely could ask a lady (or ladies) how screening/verification works. To this end there is a Verified Independent's Section (Ladies Only)...contact the Mod about how to gain access Second is you could insist on a deposit from a prospective client before booking. Someone is not going to be a no show if he has paid a deposit Just a couple thoughts A rambling RG

Disrespect is disrespect... I see nothing wrong with asking repeat canceling client to either pay a deposit or pay full in advance. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I don't understand why people ask for this.Picture this.. I get a txt asking for a selfy right now... Little do you know I have on miss matched pj's and hair is messy because I just woke up. Eyes tired with bags under eyes, skin still has pillow marks and I am on the way out the door to pick up what my dog left behind last night. So do you really want real time photo??? We don't wake up looking like a movie star! This is why we have pictures on albums, some have videos on sites, I am not taking pics and sending them when I already have too much time being used up txt back and forth from enquires. Same goes for feet pics, if u want to see my feet come on over. Why would I send that ? So you can use the pic for personal pleasure and not book me? I get nothing out of it!

Do you make system recovery discs? Sometimes it is easier to just nuke the drive and start with a clean slate. You need to set up an admin account for yourself. Some of the things kids download can be very bad, steal your identity or passwords.

I kinda think we all make to much of pictures... I agree they are great marketing tools and should be reasonably recent and generally be representative of the person who will answer the door. But to expect a lady to match a photoshoot picture with perfect lighting and the photographers eye positioning her for the desired image is really unrealistic in my opinion. Just my Opinion Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

I completely agree with CristyCurves. And these are my two cents: Although the people that partake here are generally good people who choose to be here, want to be here, etc etc.. this is not the reality for everyone. Just because we have it good, doesn't mean that the negative realities don't exist. I recently watched two documentaries on Netflix. 'Tricked' and 'Playground'. Both are worth a watch. These stories are real. And terrible. These girls are threatened, drugged, cut off from society (literally locked up while not 'working'), beaten, etc etc. Their families are threatened. They are trapped and scared. The system is broken, and we cannot pretend that it isn't. These documentaries also shockingly highlight how the system fails at carrying out their altruistic goal of protecting and helping the girls / boys. Frustrated victims, frustrated social workers, frustrated people trying to help, frustrated police who see that what the law tells them to do, doesn't help. The only people still smiling are the pimps. These are the stories that 'outshine' the good of this industry. AND THEY SHOULD. One negative situation should have more public spotlight than all of our stories combined. One thing I found fascinating was the excitement from pimps, particularly in Vegas, that think that legalizing the sex trade is the best idea ever. They wouldn't lose the girls under their control, and could expand. They would be safer. They were excited. It would make it worse for those girls. I found this fascinating because that seems to be what a lot of us want (legalizing it). But I wonder if it really would make things better / safer, or if we are just deluding ourselves. Both sides shouldn't see the upside of it. These stories are realities. These girls are real. They are not made up stories from politicians and activists that are 'out to get us'. I'm by no means saying that their approach to fixing this problem is working, but there is a problem. And I would rather our society acknowledge the bad shit that happens, then to sweep it under the rug and say 'well that's the minority of people involved, so who cares'. There is actually a website called 'Baby-Rape'. I think that says enough right there. Or maybe you want some stats such as of the 5,930,615 pornographic pictures of children online that have been reported, only 874 children have been identified. I'll gladly live with the stereotype if it means it will help even one girl / boy. Phaedrus you wrote "Now, everyone reading this post knows damn well that the impressions I've just outlined are absolute crap, and are in no way representative of this industry.". I think that that statement is crap (sorry) and is perpetuating this idea that the problems that exist are not worth acknowledging.

Ass worship for sure ;) any day! PM me any time

Went to Ottawa and after visiting a local Asian Massage close to my hotel, I was not that impressed. SO.... I decided to hop on a bus (FYI they have some great rapid bus lanes and I can only imagine if our city get's their crap together ours could also be that efficient)... but anyway I digress. I travelled by bus to VibeUrbanSpa (they have a constant ad in the side bar here on LYLA)... http://www.vibeurbanspa.ca/index.html MIND-BLOWING experience, not going into too much detail. But it was nice to be treated like a king and real person. This just means our local "spa's" have a long way to go. I like EB and they have taken lots of my money over the years, but after visiting Vibe....... All I can say is I can hardly wait for my next trip somewhere. So I took one for the team.... but if they are all like this.. I'm first in line to try it again! If you truly want details, PM me and I will share. P.S. The $$$ spent was less than we are expected to pay here.

I definitely think that kissing is a major aspect of a great loving session. It may not be a deal breaker for me if the lady is not comfortable providing it. But I find my session the most satisfied and intimate when I am with a lady who loves deep passionate kisses with tongue action and a lot of enthusiasm.

I had to remove a thread tonight and I am very upset that people are posting crap like this. Some idiot PM'd one of the members claiming that one of the local girls has aids. The member posted this along with other nonsense. Why he felt it was necessary to start a thread like this I will never know but I am done with people trying to slander other peoples reputations. If your too stupid to realize a PM or POST like this is just slanderous and made by either a jealous competitor, ex-boyfriend or drunken idiot trying to cause a problems then let me help you out by telling you first hand that you should just delete the PM and report the user name to me so we can get rid of the trolls! If you feel the need to accuse someone of such a thing publicly do it elsewhere as I don't care to slander anyone on this site and as long as I am moderator of this site I will NOT tolerate it from anyone else here! I will shut down the board before I allow that to happen so if you enjoy the site please respect this policy and rule.
