While the wording definitely could have been better, just to play devil's advocate for a second I can see where this conversation is coming from.  Of course in the end it is always up to the provider on what services they end up providing regardless of what was previously discussed but, for example:  I book a massage session with @Skilled Hands, show up, but never receive a massage.  It would leave you scratching your head and wondering why the massage didn't happen when that's what you booked looking forward to in the first place.

@Skilled HandsI was just using that as an example, in no way was I ever suggesting you've never provided the service(s) you advertised.

To play devils advocate myself.. 😈

We all know that massage doesn't usually carry the same ymmv risk as certain expected gfe services would need to 🤷

He said in his original post that he was denied for hygiene 

I don't know you @Halifaxseeker, and I'm certainly not trying to shame anyone, so I won't elaborate on why someone might be denied based on ymmv for gfe specific services, but this isn't the same as ordering a massage, or a cheeseburger lol

McDonald's doesn't care about the state of your hygiene 🤷

These are higher risk/ intimate services, which is why they're ymmv at all

I doubt you will find anyone on this board that can provide you with any information. 

 

Mainly due to the fact that they seem to be touring SP's w/ pre booking requirements. 

 

Most of these travelling ladies will alter their tour based on demand and deposits. 

 

As we've seen, there is a large portion of this community that is adverse to making deposits, even for high end SP's with stellar reputations.

 

I doubt you will see either of these ladies in Halifax anytime soon.

 

 

Idk.. 

Lyla members make up such a small portion of the overall community here, that I'd still keep an eye on them for dates, if you're interested in them 👀

I follow providers on Twitter/X who are never mentioned here on lyla, but must do well because they keep coming back 🙂

Perhaps we would do well to remember companions are somebody's daughter, sister, and in many cases mother, in short,  they too have families. 

 

He sees us like the cops do

Nhi

No human involved 🤦

Only simps and morons do that. At the end of the day, its business if you are not comfortable not sending deposits or your personal id then don't do it. There's literally hundred other options to choose from and majority of times even better. The entitlement is crazy. I do hear SPs point of view as well but just coz u have heard stories or burnt once doesn't mean you are going to treat every customer like shit. We don't deserve that. Its hard earned money i aint paying anyone a single penny up front even if i am richest man alive. Its about using common sense and having morals. You can be trusting anyone these days.

And for SPs if you don't feel comfortable taking clients without deposits and ID, go ahead don't accept any clients without it. I am pretty sure there are bunch of lonely weirdo simps who would willing give you everything. but us regular people, people who work in reputable companies and having family to back to, we cant be seen with any kind of evidence doing the deed. 

For customers, DONT EVER SEND DEPOSIT OR ID, 

For SPs, DONT ACCEPT CLIENTS IF YOU ARE NOT OK WIHTOUT DEPSOITS, its simply aint that hard.

There's always dozens of travelling SPs coming around, simps who want to give their personal identity and stay with local Sp, more power to them. But majority would prefer anonymity and privacy, and they indeed make more money offering that.

 

Thank goodness this guy doesn't dictate the norms and standards omg 🤦

Just getting silly now.

 The amount of things you have to identify yourself for in society.

 Rent apartment

 rent car

 airbnb

 ride share

 new patient

 gym membership

 on and on and on

Deny their personal safety all you want, it’s real. There is no profession more justified in finding out who the hell they’re seeing.

 And for deposits, I’ve shown hundreds of apartments in a past life , every time there is more no shows than people that show. No shows are a colossal waste of time

And interestingly enough, they don't make true crime docs about any of the above

.. But they do about what happens to sps

Sounds like we're not actually asking too much considering we risk our lives to meet strange men

Clearly, even if we find clients in a reputable place like this, it's doesn't mean that we'll automatically be treated with respect 

People tend to act more respectfully when they leave a trail vs anonymous

This is the other thing. The best encounters I've had have all been with women who have one common opinion about me. THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE W/ME. 

 

You really want to have a girl open up and do all the freaky things you want, it's not gonna happen unless she trusts and feels safe with you. That's UNIVERSAL whether she's paid or not. 

 

Do yourselves a favor and be a good human. It'll do wonders for your sex lives

Rapport is everything, and to establish that with a stranger via the Internet can be tricky, so we screen to establish a smidge of trust.

The client should have done his research and somewhat trust us to even contact us at all. 

Both sides are supposed to do what we can to make these experiences go well, and resisting screening isn't exactly trust and rapport building 🤦

We're humans after all, not service dispensers lol

You guys are right. I guess I will just have to limit myself to the dozens of providers that don't require ID or deposit. I'm so sad I won't get to see the six that do.

This forum is 🤦 because on one thread people will complain that Hfx has so few providers at all that you should just fly to another continent, but now there are somehow dozens of providers who don't screen? 

The math isnt mathing

I'm not even trying to argue, but more I want this on the record for new sps who might come reading these threads and feel the pressure to not screen, like that's standard, when it's not 

Just now, MikeyInHalifax said:

The joke about this is that for all the reviews that I've written, I've never once had to provide ID. At the most I've been asked for a reference. 

 

I can tell you one thing. If a lady that I REALLY wanted to see required ID for screening I wouldn't come on here and complain incessantly about the injustice of it. I would just go with the flow and have the experience I want, under the requirements of the SP. 

 

Stop whining and move on

That's the lolz 😂

Whole ID verification is only done by a handful of sps, and for some of us it's situational, not standard

I still verify who you are, but I don't usually need your ID card to do that, in the age of the internet

My kind of clientele want me to be comfortable anyways, knowing that a happy and safe feeling provider is going to give them the best experience. 

They don't hassle me about screening because they understand why we do it, and want me to be comfortable, not on edge, when meeting a stranger ❤️

1 hour ago, MikeyInHalifax said:

I'll never understand why the prospect of screening is so hard for guys to stomach.

 

These women are bringing strange men into their lives on a daily basis. If it were me I would want to know who the hell I'm sharing my bed with. 

 

And let's be honest, as a guy, the same doesn't apply to us. We don't care who the girl is beyond, are they attractive and will they perform the acts I want them to perform. So give the whole "the sp should provide id also" argument a rest. 

 

The risk is almost all on the sp in these encounters. If your biggest fear in this hobby is being "outed" maybe don't engage in these activities to start. 

 

Protect the safety of these girls and appreciate the service they provide. If you don't like the game, don't play.

THANK YOUUUUUU 🙏

Ok. That I didn't know. I'm assuming it must have become independent from PERB, TERB, and MERB at that point? It just doesn't seem to be on the same level as the other forums these days. 

All of the Erbs are independent of each other

The issue for the Maritimes forums  over the past years has been engagement.

There's just not enough of it, and not much is done to encourage new members to join, let alone interact on the forums. 

Also, with so many sps moving away from the reviews model, I'm not sure what can be done about this, besides having it be a more welcoming place for both sps and clients 🤷 maybe more people would want to engage here? Idk

With the lack of mods here, I don't see that happening tbh. 

This forum was more of an active community when I started; I built my business here 💕 

but its gone downhill since the switch from CERB to lyla 😞

Sps do follow the money though, and the clients follow the sps, sooo take from that what you will. 

This forum used to be called CERB 👀

Deff. There really should be a replacement for this… given the legal changes concerning this industry im surprised someone hasnt made something slightly more mainstream that combines Lyla, and LL.

Ouuu sounds like an opportunity for someone to make / maintain one 😈

The best alternative we've got is Tryst

If the one charging $600 is complaining that she's only getting 3 clients per week, while the one charging $300 (like YFL) and is getting 5 clients per day, then yeah... it's not about business, it's personal preference. But if they're not complaining then, it's a non-issue. If they want to tell themselves they'd prefer the 'upper crust' of clients by luring only the richer blood, then sure. It goes both ways. the quality of the service is for the clients to decide whether the prices is worth services being offered, correct?

Where are the $600/hr girls complaining? 👀

Yfl girls have to see 5 clients to make up what the $600 girl gets for one two hour booking. 

You're correct, it IS personal preference 

It's always business babe

GFE should not be in the Ad if its not being offered 

Gfe used to mean just a vibe/atmosphere, rather than a set of specific services

I tried to phase out the term because I don't totally fit in that box, but then I have people who meet me and say it's the best gfe ever and I should advertise it 🤷

What is an sp to do lolol

2 hours ago, NSGuy14 said:

I'd suggest going through the recommendations AND THE ADS on this forum / site.  Many of the newer recos may be for travelling ladies who have already left the City, but the ads are mostly current, and as far as I can tell, there really are not any fakes in the ads.

 

Adding, II guess the section is correctly called "Schedules and Announcements".

 

Or, you can just cut to the chase and contact Ms Manda, and not worry about being disappointed 😇

Ayeeee thanks for the rec! 🥰

I do know a thing or two about a sexy good time! 😈

Hello gentlemen,

We feel the need to respond to some comments in this thread, as well as a few others thread we’ve seen lately.

First, we will repeat a few things we have said several times since last year:

• Companions charge whatever donation they choose under the YFL umbrella.

• Companions offer whatever services they want under the YFL umbrella.

We have also said since last year that everything is getting more expensive (flights, hotels, food, etc.), so it needs to be worthwhile for models to travel.

That being said, we feel that some clients have unrealistic expectations lately—expecting a top model who is sweet and willing to do everything for $280. The market in general has increased significantly outside of the Maritimes bubble, and you need to get used to it if you want quality providers.

On the other hand, we also believe that some girls are unrealistic about their business model. Local girls can charge a higher donation because:

1. They do not have travel expenses, and

2. They likely have another source of income since it's their home town

So having only one client per day is not an issue. but when touring, it’s another story.

There is a concept called supply and demand. We always say: charge what you want, but clients ultimately decide whether you stay busy or not. In the end, charging more (in some cases) doesn’t necessarily mean earning more money by the end of the week. But its a personal choice, and that choice needs to be respected.

 

You can see us as mediators or advisers in all of this, but ultimately it’s you guys (and girls) who decide what you want—or don’t want. One thing we don’t understand is why some of you complain to us about not having extremely detailed service descriptions and/or about prices being too high, yet still choose to see independents who often offer YMMV service, charge more, and you’re okay with it?

As a reminder, we have been visiting for many years, and we do our best to represent only models who meet a certain standard and offer fair pricing. Most importantly, we provide stable, consistent visits in the Maritimes. There was a time when we were the only ones visiting you. We also work very hard—12 to 15 hours a day, 7 days a week—to respond in a timely manner and keep everything running smoothly. We hope that you appreciate it 😊

 

Thank you,
The YFL Team

Hmm.. When I'm touring, I charge more, because my expenses are higher 

Sw is my only job, has been for a decade

Everyone should be allowed to decide ymmv, because it's the providers body, and choice what they do with it ❤️

Not all clients are compatible with all requests/offerings, and payment doesn't negate our consent 

Yfl, certain people will complain regardless of what the rate is, and what's included or not. 

The Maritimes has always appreciated that you're priced lower than the locals - trust me, most of us independents have been compared to your offerings 🤦😂

But 250 - 300/hr was the going rate more than a decade ago.. I'm not simply absorbing a decade of inflation out of the kindness of my heart. 

As independents, we just don't have the infrastructure to comfortably absorb those costs personally, especially covering our own overheads
