I will start by saying I don't think we are supposed to discuss ladies pricing on here. Although I do agree I have gotten sticker shock looking at some of the prices ladies are asking for on Tryst. All I can say is there must be a market for their asking prices or they would be knocking them down to a more reasonable rate. 
 

I can afford the rates, but would never think of paying them. For the cost of seeing these providers 4 or 5 times a years you could book yourself a trip to Asia and see more beautiful women for a small fraction of the price. 
 

That would be my recommendation to do, but obviously if these gals are asking these prices there are enough people that are willing to pay them to keep them in business. Vote with your wallets. 

We're definitely not supposed to discuss rates here

The number of derailed conversations that never end, are examples of why lol 

This has been a rule since before I started more than a decade ago, so clearly this has always been a heated topic

We need to take some action on what’s been happening in last 6 months where a luxury escort who provided service for 400 dollars is now charging 700?
And setting that as the price everyone visiting is bumping up their charges 600 onwards which is making it impossible to meet these wonderful women. Upto 500 I feel it’s reasonable and what’s been the going rate in the past but anything beyond that is not acceptable. We should all stick together to somehow stop this trend of growing prices!! 

Oh dear, here we go again 

The market wants a Mercedes for Honda pricing

How can we remedy this? 🤦

I don't think that this small section of the Maritimes sticking together is going to make Mercedes lower their prices, I'm sorry 

... It's not impossible, or they wouldn't be able to command such rates 🤷

There are lots of providers, at varying price points, if that's the determining factor for you

Question what is toftt?

Take one for the team

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

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

Also The Agency takes a % or their cut , and they have to pay for Travel 

That's actually insane, that their travel isn't covered 😭

As a reference point for this off topic thread,

You can easily pay over $100 for 1 steak at Cut. Also, have routinely paid I’d say on average $175 to fill the truck.

 

 Not even sure if these ladies can get their hair done for 3-400 dollars.

 

 At 3 % inflation for 10 years , there goes 33%of your purchasing, yes, all things equal 33% higher prices. (3% would be mild consider how governments roll nowadays)
 

For prices to go down, would take a lot of job losses and recession, zero dates and a lot more pain for a lot more people

 

Market prices are always correct, sometimes just takes time to accept

 

*I’m of a vintage “when I was a teenager”, McDonald’s had the gull to raise the price of a mcchicken meal over 3.99 than all of a sudden needed more than a five bill to eat with tax, that was tough to swallow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds like rates are actually still low then 👀😈

Damn I almost forgot about BP. Those were the days, back when 98% of the ads weren't fake.

Fully agree though, hobbying in this province is at an all time low from when I first dipped my toe in the waters in 2005'ish. 

Ll ain't no BP, that's for sure 😂😭

Isn't it a good chance that the no shows are other workers or pimps managers  doing the bookings to to screw over the ladies ?

In my experience.. There's not THAT much of a conspiracy lol not even here in Halifax 😂

This isn't specific to sw.. It's been a problem since covid 

I screen my people, that used to be enough.. 

Now it's not, so deposits are necessary 🤷

But they're verified, real people, not pimps or Sp's

Having some pillow talk with a couple different SPs in the recent months and they mention how they shake their heads at the SPs who charge $400, $500, $600 per hour, they don't make extra income, when you have only one client per week because of those high prices, versus those at $250 or $300 and get a client everyday, it's purely made as a power move, a status symbol, to be extra selective, catering for only the ultra rich crowd. Everyone loses out, it's too much for 99% of hobbyists out there to enjoy, and the SPs are far less busy and get far less income as a result. I'm seeing more $500+/hour prices and demanding 20% upfront deposit fees. I don't think all the way to Columbia is necessary, but trips to Montreal tend to do the trick, just do the research in advance to find and select and reserve the one(s) you'd like. But it's getting tougher and tough out here in NS for sure 😞

Power move?

$250/300 was the going rate in 2012 😭

Back in the days when we met less screened guests, lyla clients were top tier, hotels were $100, and 90% of clients kept their dates without deposit - didn't even need deposits to tour 🥹

We can all keep crying about the good ol bp days, but it doesn't turn back time, or inflation, or slow down the no shows that have become so rampant in every industry, that even restaurants charge to hold tables now 

We've all had to make adjustments here lol

We're not allowed to discuss irl meets on the fansites.. Just putting that out there ♥️

I'll preface with I'm not into any of this so it's always best to ask providers directly. My go to recommendations whenever someone is looking for fetish stuff are Ms Manda (local) or Cherry Tartlette (when she's touring here). I don't know off hand if either offer that though. I think the issue you'll find though is that golden showers are fairly sanitary/sterile (not fully but relatively safe) where brown showers are very unsanitary and quite unsafe because of bacteria and such. 

But ask around and maybe you'll find someone who can help you out. If neither of the women I mentioned will do it themselves they may be able to recommend someone they know who is open to it. 
 

Best of luck!

Pee isn't actually sterile lol but scat play just isn't for me

I'm not sure who offers this locally, but you may have better luck finding this in a bigger city like mtl, Toronto, or Vancouver.

I had a travelling SP share a story with me once.

Had a regular patron visit her. Seen this guy a few times over the years. She considered him a regular.

 

He walks in, places the donation on the dresser, and they go through their normal routine.

 

At the end, they're doing the normal chit chat and once he's finished getting dressed, he grabs the cash and bolts out the door. 

 

It's as easy as that. Now this SP doesn't come back to NS or hasn't been back here since that happened on her last trip. 

 

If you ask me, that's sexual assaults as well as theft. She didn't just get robbed, she was raped 

This isn't an uncommon experience.. It's why most experienced sps count, and then hide, the cash

100% in agreement with MsManda. If someone stole a couple of grand from you and you called the cops does that make you "too much drama"? How the hell does anyone think she's at fault here? Wild. 

 

I'd be really interested in her service as she looks great and obviously is a proper business woman. I susbscribe to her on OF and she's super hot. 

 

It's not even just the couple grand, that's more the insult to injury.. 

It's the fact that we consent to providing certain things under the assumption that we'll be compensated as per the agreement we make before meeting. 

Removing payment invalidates the consent, because that was literally the deciding factor in us agreeing to meet

To run up a bill with a sw and have no intent to pay is absolutely despicable, on more than just a financial level

If you want to fk up ur life then go ahead

Or just, ya know.. Don't rip off sex workers? 👀

He ripped her off for $2100 after she provided service. Her rates werent high either

It's not like he shorted her $20 and she went to the cops ffs

Uhm..

Peanut gallery here 🙋

Did the op mention that the provider in question asked for a deposit or cancellation fee, or was this person merely posing a hypothetical question about cancellations in general? 👀
