Well, the prison sentences were probably a big deterrent, when they started changing all the laws and living off the avails of became a much more serious charge, people running those places got scared, the guy and his kid who were running the old gentlemen's club on Windmill were arrested and charged in 2006 after the place had been in business since 1977 and there was far more then massages being paid for there, the local police and RCMP made a point of closing down all the "bawdy houses" as they were known to them, The Gentlemen's Club, and there was the old girl that owned the house in downtown Dartmouth who had a stable of girls and a jet tub in every room in the house, I think it was King St, was it Ava's?  It's been a long time. It was much easier and safer though to just show up and knock on the door and you had your pick of always at least a couple girls, sometimes 5 or 6.  

The nineties were the good old days. But that downtown Dart locale wasn’t Avas  it was run by another “old girl “ who is now passed and wasn’t on King street. It would be nice for a change if  this site would only print information that was correct. ParkAve was the Dart place. Adas not Ava’s was before my time also but research will quickly show she ran out of Halifax. I never felt comfortable walking into a place where ladies were lined up .

Bro I recommend you be careful and not become a cash cow to any of these providers try once and get out and find some real woman to find intimacy with. This site will just funnel you to the same providers they always mention lol. Just be careful man and don't be a submissive cash cow paying whatever is asked of you. 

You make some valid points in your confession. This site does favor a certain few. Most review boards do. From board to board, it’s not hard to conclude who’s being promoted. Beyond that if you e been an escorts cash cow, that would be on you. They are all here to make money. We all know that going in. How much you give them is in your control not theirs, they don’t cast spells. They state their fees for an amount of time and you agree to that or you don’t. The same can be said with giving tips and gifts. They can give their preferences but it is up to us to give or not. Many of us are also aware that with a simple goggle search other escorts that aren’t promoted here are also available. Where ever you find them, the female escorts I’ve sought out all have been real woman and many are excellent at providing real intimacy..

Being from Toronto and visiting most major cities in Canada regularly for work, I can say fairly objectively that Halifax probably has a decent amount of providers per capita, but Lyla doesn't provide the quality of info that TERB, PERB, CAF, and MERB do, so that makes it very hard to sift through the LL crap - I never see anyone from LL without a cross-reference from a board review. To that end, there do seem to be some very high quality providers in Halifax, but in recent years what is with the requirement for full Government identification? I mean I get why ladies prefer this, but by the same token, part of the reason to pay for this service is anonymity. If I wanted people to know who I am IRL, I would just jump on tinder or seeking arrangements, etc. I must say this is almost exclusive to Halifax. Anywhere else if you have 20+ references from reputable providers (including local ones), excellent respectful communication, a long standing presence on all major boards, and you're willing to send over an amazon or starbucks (or GC of their preference) as a deposit, and offer a verification call to the hotel (although NOT using my real name) that generally gets you a booking. Except it seems in Halifax. I feel terrible for the bad experiences these ladies must have had to cause them to have these unprecedented requirements and make absolutely no exceptions even when it's clear they are dealing with a very professional client. 

Now to end on a positive note, and make a contribution that is actually useful, I have had several great experiences with Amara (GeekyGirl902) https://www.lyla.ch/profile/227671-geekygirl902/ - including earlier this year. She's lovely to talk to, very sensual, and a lot of fun in a giant whirlpool tub 😉

Perhaps I’m an odd duck as I can’t imagine wanting to be intimate with someone without knowing something about them and them knowing something about me. One of the reasons I hobby is knowing that when my provider leaves there are no further expectations or ties until I initiate contact again. Quite different from tinder or other dating sites. I too travel extensively and would argue that Halifax is not the only city in which providers are requesting government id. When they do if I’m comfortable I oblige. When I’m not I move on. I’m not going to argue the point or rant about it on a hobby board. As I feel that only adds pressure to what I can only assume is an already pressure filled business. It’s their business so they should be encouraged to run it  in whichever way they feel will best provide them the safety measures required instead of being criticized for choosing them.

This SP has shared client IDs in the past and continues to repeatedly do that. Be aware if you share your screening information. It seems the provider did not even meet the client but is openly volunteering to share the confidential information of the client. You can only imagine what happens behind the scenes. Safety and confidentiality of every client is equally important as a provider.  

There seems to be a trend now of bringing twitter drama  onto Lyla. Could we not leave what’s on other sites on those other sites. If you want to warn people because of someone’s deeds then post a warning in the appropriate section. You and a few other members seem to be constants in stirring the pot of sore topics which does nothing to benefit anyone. I used to enjoy this site as it was a resource of information. Now it’s devolved into a Jerry Springer type of  forum.Those of us  who research and who take the time to read any providers posts, socials, ads and websites can make our decisions on wether we want to divulge our information with them without being told time and time again to be careful.

Agreed with MsManda’s response and clarification. However, on a side note, there have been thousands of instances where clients have been robbed or harmed by providers under fake aliases. Safety of both client and provider are of utmost importance and a new client may not be well versed with the screening of provider. If you are new, it is better to go first with a reputed and known provider. Do not go with unverified beautiful pics as they are mostly fake. Do your own research before you think of spending time with anyone. 

I’d be curious to see the statistics of clients harmed by providers vs providers harmed by clients. I’d think the latter would be a far greater number. I think it’s foolish for any client to expect any provider to offer them their identification. To even broach the subject leaves me scratching my head. Whether we’re new to this or not,  we can easily find out all we need to know about providers using the internet. If you cannot find any information on a provider then see that as a red flag and move onto those who advertise and promote themselves so we can feel safe seeing them.

This isn't a review board, it never has been, there are plenty of those out there if that's what you want, it's a recommendation board, not being able to figure out the difference likely explains why your posts never show up.

Perhaps the moderators/owners could change the wording in their link on leolist as it says escort reviews. In the first few years under the new ownership, Lyla was referred to in their ads as a review board and not as a recommendation board. So this might be why others call it the same. I don’t think it matters. Reviews/recommendations all amount to the same thing. Clients wanting to share their experiences which I feel should be written with respect of the provider and only with their approval.Thanks to Allie Zeon for clarifying ownership. I had made mention of the sale a few years ago and was told I was stating a conspiracy.

Okay. Great point. That wasn’t my intent. In hind sight I could have easily titled it as “Recent 3” or “Any 3” for that matter. 
 

I was observing a dearth of recommendations given the departure of many of our mainstays and many new ladies and my intent was to only stimulate positive information sharing. 
 

I take your point. 

Semantics. Changing the threads title wouldn’t change the idea  or outcome of it.  If you have a concern for lack of reviews then write one or more and make a suggestion for others to do the same. Encouraging people to post who is the top 3, your favorite, most popular or, best of anything does nothing for new providers either. What if none of them are included in anyone’s list?I always cringe when reading things like that. Best breasts, best service, best bodies. It’s all subjective.

I believe the review board avoids them due to it putting providers down (intentionally or not)

& those TOP SP posts do make it ‘competitive’ with the providers by “rating” us in comparison to others in an industry that has enough challenges/struggles without making it appear us women are against/at each other on any level. 

I agree with your perspective and don’t understand the point of posting  who’s the best threads or who’s your favorite .My posting who I favour does no one any benefit other than those I favour. But then again some might say the same about reviews.

You should review in general. A lot of reason I don't see an SP is because I don't know if they are real or a cop. Knowing that is 90% of the battle and would probably get them more business in and of themselves. 

I’ve never known a cop to create social media accounts, only fans or websites in order to catch one of us. If they do go to that trouble I’m sure they’ll also go to the trouble of setting up an account here and posting reviews.  So I wouldn’t worry to much. It’s easy enough with the internet and google to check to see if any provider is real. You just have to be willing to do the research.

Given the amount of members, every single SP should have information on them here. Whether it is positive or negative

 

I seldom review now for various reasons. Mainly because most don’t provide any information that would sway me to book. What does is reading through a providers website, ads and socials. I can’t understand why more don’t take the  time to do so. Instead will post here asking “has anyone seen so and so”. Within websites, ads, and socials is all the information  I need to decide if they are the type of provider suitable for me. Reviews simply tell me that you had a positive or negative time which won’t guarantee me either. I’m also against negative reviews. Unless they are written because of something dangerous or because of a scam.

Do you prefer to book an appointment in advance? Are weekdays more thrilling than weekends? 

Is afternoon delight better than a romp in the morning? 

Or do you prefer it after dark? 

For me, morning is the best part of the day! 

I always plan my dates in advance because of travelling. Usually a week or more in advance and prefer afternoon or evenings.

Love - my “data pool” comes from a significantly larger sample size than yours - this I can almost 100% guarantee. Seeing as you stated your deduction has some from those you have met/seen - whereas mine from from my interactions with hundreds of providers accross the digital realm and in person. 

 

For you to suggest that its as simple as googling - shows your extremely limited understanding of how things work - no surprise there seeing as you are a client and not a worker. 

 

So it is a bit confusing for you to condescendingly suggest that its as simple as a google search. Thats far from the reality. 

We have to factor in a variety of things when we are using digital resources- such as is this site legitimate and will it steal out data, or dox us - or is it hackable and the same could occur. Are they accepting a variety of payment methods. 

Who runs them? Will they respect requests for reviews to be removed? Will they permit dogpoling and bulling and bigotry? So many things to consider for our safety. 

What to search even. Because you wont find lyla if you search “escort advertising”. 

 

So again, I just find it interesting that you are saying what you are saying when your research is minimal & your statements are generalizing and completely disregard the nuance. 

 

Anyyyyways! I wish you the very best but I wont waste any further time going back and forth with you. 

 

You are welcome to book a video/phone call or in person session if you would like to discuss the nuance to why providers don’t use Lyla further. 

 

Have a beautiful and blessed Friday.

My response to you wasn’t intended as a competition as to who knows more nor was it written with any intended condescension .I  made a comment that  finding review and advertising sites was as easy as using google which I stand by.. How they are used by  a provider and a client  and the difficulties faced by either when using them is a whole different subject. Your assumptions concerning my research,  my knowledge being limited because I’m a client and referring to me as “love”was condescending,  patronizing and unnecessary. I apologize for wasting your time and didn’t intend on any back and forth . When I’m quoted I tend to respond. Will be more careful in the future.

I just wonder where you get your data pool from to be saying “some” when 9/10 i ask someone if they know of this platform or CAF, they have no idea. many also dont know about LL, or Tryst. 

esp if they came from spas or clubs first

I don’t have a data pool I only make my comments based off of those people I’ve spoken with and visited. I can assume your conclusions are also  gathered in similar fashion. For those not in the know finding review platforms and advertising sites isn’t complicated. Google is a tool most can use easily.

Talking of review culture, there's not a lot of point reviewing the leading ladies of our community. Their reputations are established. I do like to be able to review relative newcomers and the under appreciated. There are so many excellent providers who have no reviews. If they are happy for clients to post here about their experiences, I would encourage them do so,

I  assumed the point of a review is to share your experience, regardless of that providers reputation. From my understanding any provider who allows reviews appreciates new ones. I agree with your point that there are excellent providers who don’t have reviews. To have them or not  should be a personal choice that is afforded to anyone.

I recently had a nasty experience. Would like some tips on staying safe. 

Stick with providers who have personal websites and social media accounts.  I also avoid those who won’t allow a short conversation prior to meeting. After that it’s all about how people get along.

Honestly most workers dont know lyla exists lovie

I appreciate your response. You are right some don’t know about this site, yet others do and prefer not to post here. Some agree with review culture, some don’t. Their prerogative. It would make things easier though if all legitimate providers would post on one forum. Although as I said before researching  to find a providers media isn’t complicated, or time consuming for that matter. The onus is on the client to research  in order to determine a scammer from a legitimate provider. Lots of both here in Halifax as well as in other cities.

"Everyone"? I would agree it's a frustrating process in Halifax, LL has many providers that do not use Lyla. And a good number of them are worth a visit, but it's a total crapshoot. Several providers are even on Lyla but advertise on LL and not here.

And yeah, no one posts shit on Lyla. It's just people asking over and over again if any one has seen this person. And no one ever responds. These providers are getting lots of business, surely at least some of the people visiting must be on Lyla. But nope... Just crickets.

I agree it would be nice if some of the LL ladies that don’t post here would. I’m sure they have their reasons.I don’t understand those who find it hard to tell a scammer from a legit escort. I only see ladies who have websites and or social media attached to their ads. Scammers don’t go to the trouble of setting up either, in most cases. So what is so difficult about researching to find those pieces of media then reading them? Lots of lovely ladies here. But then again some people are never satisfied.

Excellent choice. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her. I have seen her posts on various sites. I find her admirable because she is so giving of herself and the supportive messages  she sends out to all members of this community not just those she associates with or prefers. You don’t see that kind of  genuine support often.

Maybe her ban could be revisited and reconsidered.  It took place a few years ago when she was banned. Maybe she could be allowed to rejoin

Of course thats a decision for those at a higher pay grade than me LOL but if she was allowed to return its a decision I for one would support

RG

I am another who’d also support that decision. We need more

people here who speak truthfully about this community and who aren’t two faced.

I look for ladies who represent themselves truthfully. I’m not interested in those who perform online to attract me as a client. I prefer authenticity. Age is irrelevant really as youth can be misinterpreted since some age better than others. So a number is less important than other characteristics. At least from my perspective. I also enjoy ladies who are independent and don’t rely on others for their success. Perhaps that is why I pay little attention to reviews.Although I appreciate this forum for threads like this.

I’ve been massaged by Katherine, Cristylonglegs and beautiful Bella. I highly recommend each of them. Cristy has a unique method that was a nice surprise . 

I’m somewhat surprised at some of these responses. It’s my observation that what you were charging was part and parcel most likely the reason you had so many negative responses when advertising. I would expect those with lower rates would attract a less desirable clientele. Although I’m sure higher priced ladies get their share as well. If you’ve lost some clients who you feel were decent then perhaps question your meaning of decent. As I believe a decent client wouldn’t object to a lady charging a reasonable rate, which your rates are now, very reasonable in fact. No I think a good  and decent client should have objected to you charging so little and would have offered more and showed some concern for such low rates. But there will always be those who want a superb lady yet don’t want to pay a fair price to share her time. I’d say forget these suggestions for discounts  I think you have already given enough away. Your rates are more than fair and justifiable.   Those that refuse to pay the difference have done your screening for you. Move on and enjoy a more selective and appreciative clientele.

If you don't want to look silly then maybe learn the difference between vary and very. Spell check only checks spelling, not the definition.

I also wouldn't mention a random conspiracy theory I made up without any actual reasons or proof, especially when unprompted or unasked to do so. Unless of course i wanted to look silly.

 

Thank you Denots for correcting my spelling. I am aware of the differences in definitions yet I wasnt aware that there were English teachers here on Lyla. I appreciate the lecture and lesson and will take better care when typing in the future . As far as you assuming my comment concerning who owns what  being a conspiracy theory I’l just laugh that one off. When one site has sponsored ads from another we can make our own assumptions. You make yours and I’ll make mine and we can both enjoy looking silly.

He is in the wrong and perhaps the usage of what was smoked caused some confusion. I will say I’m surprised that you’d find the need to ask for an opinion. From most of your previous posts you seem to be one who dispenses advice freely and with assertive confidence. No one can please everyone nor should they want to .

I find this discussion very interesting.  I went to visit her a few weeks ago based on all the positive feedback, but was quite disappointed.  Maybe we just didn't "click", but I found her to be very cold and mechanical (to the point where she was flopped on the couch watching TV before I was even dressed).  

YMMV, as always.  It just wasn't there for me on that particular day.  Oh well.

 

I don’t find it interesting it’s typical. You have members commenting about someone they’ve seen and liked.  I like that.That’s what’s done here. It’s also common sense to assume that some of the beautiful women we meet we won’t click with. That is life and not necessarily anyone’s fault. Difference is  those who like to post about positive things and those who like to post about negative things. I prefer to just move on when things don’t click rather than bringing potential harm to a perfectly reputable ladies business.

Check your hotels guest registry policies. Many hotels now have a right to check a room once every 24 hrs and I believe they can disguise that check or be evident about it.  This policy was put in place after the las Vegas shooting. But don’t quote me. For anyone concerned I’d refer to hospitality law and that particular hotels guest policies.
