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. 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. 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

And with my vast experience and knowledge- compared to your lack of lived experience and knowledge- I can reccomend you consider that we are not give a “how to escort 101” manual upon posting our first ad or seeing out first client. they dont even teach you anything regarding service in spas or strip clubs. you are so far out if your lane🙏🏻 you ego needs are showing. ps. id love to resd the large manuel of knowledge you have from being a client 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harpo123 121 Report post Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) The way this thread devolved into this massive dumpster fire of drama is the perfect illustration on why Halifax is a hard place to hobby - and from the authors of the drama, it looks like both sides can share that blame. Lyla definitely doesn't help. I remember a few years back, when it was so defensive about posting critical reviews, but at the bottom of the review section you could rate the SP out of 5 stars. So one hobbyist (that is still such a silly term to me), gave one particular SP a good textual review, but a poor star rating. So, naturally, the lyla police were called, and the hobbyist was publicly taken to task. But, for what, the hobbyist argued - for using the 5 star system in the exact manner to which it was designed? Needless to say, the star rating option disappeared shortly after. One person commented above (before things got flame-y) that this board is full of single-post threads where one person asks if anyone has ever seen so-and-so, and no one responds (except sometimes GreenTeal who will patiently explain how to spot scams). Well, now you know why no one posts. Because it rarely adds value. I won't even look at lyla - to luck out and find the 1% truth in the 99%scam, is not worth my time. I come here to check those few out-of-town SPs that still post their tour schedules. Nothing against the few non-drama locals here, I've just never gone to a local SP from lyla - as someone else mentioned in a different post, I prefer exotic tastes. But to watch what this place has turned into....I wish there were more choices.... Edited April 9, 2023 by harpo123 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cjthomas 1561 Report post Posted April 11, 2023 On 4/8/2023 at 9:17 PM, Jamesnicol said: 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeyInHalifax 195 Report post Posted May 3, 2023 I've only been a hobbyist for a few years and I have to agree that Halifax really is a difficult place to engage in this activity. So many scams, so little legitimate providers. Not to mention getting ghosted by providers your thought you had an established transactual relationship with. I just want to find a lady who provides for my needs on a regular basis 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnboy43 167 Report post Posted May 3, 2023 I agree totally with Mikey however I great idea would be to share more good and bad on sites like Lyla to make it easier.. When someone for example has 1000s of views on Leo everyday with no reviews makes no sense ...there has to be more input to let people know what's up..

Guest Report post Posted May 3, 2023 No matter the location and region, it's about the source of information/ads and how it's used. If a website doesn't serve a region well, it's maybe time to use another. And instead of focusing on superficial attributes, maybe look for ads with actual references to personal websites, social media pages and verifiable reviews. And if specific areas are really not ideal for those services, maybe look for alternatives or plan weekend getaways to a city with more options.

MikeyInHalifax 195 Report post Posted May 4, 2023 Respectfully, I don't think that's the case. I'm very respectful and follow instructions exactly as they are given. I try to maintain contact when I've made an appointment and if I have to cancel I try to give as much notice as possible. At the risk of generalization, it is my belief that a lot of these ladies are just not professional and forthright in their dealings 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 4, 2023 This is the type of hobby/services where you can't "pass the buck". No matter what happens, you can't blame a website, you can't blame the blame the law and you can't blame anyone else than yourself. Common sense, experience and basic homework can make a big difference, but snags can always happen. Best is to learn from it and move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baygon 8 Report post Posted May 10, 2023 With LeoList, assume that the ad is misleading in terms of visuals and/or service. If you decide to take the risk with LeoList ad, bring just enough money and no valuables or id and be prepared to just walk out if you don't like what you see (keep $20-$40 in a different pocket in case the "service provider" insists on being compensated for the cancellation) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that there are some great choices locally if you can get a hold of them and they have availability. In no particular order here are Sime links to some of them - Sarah Alex - https://massagerepublic.com/female-escorts-in-halifax/sarah-alexxx This is an older ad I believe her prices have definitely changed since this ad was done . Haven’t seen her but have seen some great reviews . She was great as well to respond to my email request. Pretty Amazing to follow up even tho she was totally booked . Thanks Sarah Mrs Manda - https://msmanda.com/introduction/ Comes highly recommended with reviews on line . Check out an interview she did a local podcast which was amazing . - Check it out - She comes across to me as Pretty Cool 😎 . This time of year I’m sure she is very busy and hasn’t been totally easy to get a hold of but seems like she is definitely worth putting in the effort. Ava Marie - www.AvaMarie.ca She as well comes highly recommended with great reviews . She from her photos on her site does duos with Manda . She as well seems very busy this time of year as per her site schedule. You may have a challenge getting a hold of her as I haven’t had much luck lately. As well seems like she would be nice to visit . Hailey Doll - https://www.leolist.cc/personals/female-escorts/nova-scotia/halifax_hot_big_tits_model_chick_bedford_hotel_incall_902_495_8187-6693143?source=list She is very down to earth and sweet with a great attitude. Very mature and thoughtful. Easy to communicate. O did I mention a Killer Body . Have seen her and she is a great choice. Sarah & Olivia - https://www.leolist.cc/personals/female-massage/nova-scotia/halifax_this_friday_tantric_massa ge-6667388?source=list For a High End Totally Amazing Massage you’d want to visit one or Both of these fine ladies . Personally would highly recommend. Very professional. Awesome atmosphere . You’ll leave feeling energized and refreshed. Kylie Jane - https://www.leolist.cc/personals/female-escorts/nova-scotia/halifax_kylie_jane_happy_holiday_s-6916950?source=list Mature and very professional. Pretty and nice body. Great communications skills . Another Great Local Choice . The most important thing in my mind is to have a great experience when you feel value for your hard earned money . It has a TON to do with the attitude of the provider especially if you come across as being polite and respectful to their boundaries. I realize we all have good days and bad days but for those of us that work really hard for our 💰. It’s important to feel that your more then just a pay check . I’m thinking 🤔 the gals listed above could and would fit the bill . Hopefully this helps . It's still hard to hobby in NS depending on what you are looking for. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
styles321 139 Report post Posted May 31, 2023 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 😉 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
