Smart observation. Busy or not, your comment is something I’ve learned over time, and it’s why I decided to stop reaching out from time to time to regulars. I don’t want them to be able to guess when I’m busy or not, or try to play on that — like, “Oh, she’s not busy, I’ll book 1.5 hours instead of 3.”
This is why I don't like to get into these conversations about how busy it is. Not everyone is like this, but when some clients know it's slow, they take advantage of it. The past 2 months have been busy for me but I've had more time wasters than I usually do because a lot of men assume that by October things are beginning to slow down. Guys text at night or try to book last minute more, as well. The truth is that December can be a very busy month for a lot of providers because it's the holidays and a lot of men don't celebrate or feel lonely. Same thing with February, it's Valentine's day. All providers have a different client base.

Sometimes if clients see that you're too busy, they give up on booking you as well. A lot of clients can only do last minute, same day, or very short notice..

That's great that you have done well! I almost thought it was good for you guys until Xmas. I have several regs that I enjoy seeing and plan something with them both.

It really depends on the person. Some of my colleagues have had a hard time this entire year, some of us were more successful. It depends on visibility and how much the platforms we use to advertise work for us.. One major hit we took over the past few years is how unreliable Tryst has become. It's sadly full of time wasters. Now that X is not a viable platform for us, we are hoping clients will migrate to bluesky. I hope you have fun with your regulars 💗 💗 💗

I love listening to your minds work ladies. I like the nugget of wisdom on the busy business. I can see how it might bring out the negotiators or other problematic folks. Really insightful.
Speaking for myself, I do find it though when a reg reaches out it does encourage me to try to get back to the gta as I enjoy all the elements of a lady - body, brain, personality. It gets me reminiscing about our last visit. However, it does not say to "biz must be slow". But that might just be me.
Keep up the dialogue. I think one of the best things a bloke can do is to try to get into her shoes and see things from her POV, as it can make you a better and more valued client and will also make it easier for her to bring her A game.
It's not rocket science - the more comfortable she is with you, the more she can feel free to bring her best.

Before social media became normal for sex work advertising the system still worked somehow. Ladies had old regulars, returning regulars, new regulars, pop in… I think depending on social media only as a way to see clients is shooting yourself in the foot. There has to be other ways to be seen.
We have to keep in mind that every business in the world advertises now on socials, the world has shifted its focus on them. We're no different, we have to be present on those too.

Most of us advertise on various platforms too, not only on X or Instagram. But before social medias, there was several advertisement platforms that don't exist or barely anymore.

TER - it's barely used nowadays, mostly by clients in the US, not in Canada at all. It even closed for a few years. We could advertise there before, now it's dead. I was founding most of my american clients there.
Eros - it's dead in Canada, they made it so difficult for us to advertise there, rejecting every photo we tried to upload. It's still used in the US but I see a few ads and some might be face accounts.
Backpage - well, it closed and we now have Leolist, but it's mostly a scam trap.
P411 - it's still used but very not popular, though the only remaining platform, outside of socials, for me to reach directly american clients.
MERB, TERB, PERB - still there, it hasn't changed much, maybe more girls advertising. I see the effort to remove the fake profiles when they come up.

3 out of 5 are not used anymore, 1 is too quiet to be reliable. Today we have Tryst, but in just a few years it changed dramatically, adding a lot of fake profiles (scammers / AI), OF advertisers (who don't meet in-person), and a lot of providers add Montreal / Toronto as their home base even though they never visit. So we're inondated by profiles who don't really work in our cities making our reach so, so low these days. Now that socials push us out while it still is the norm for advertising (for every business), added to the fact that most of our platforms closed in the last years, we're left today with less than we had before socials and it'll be a challenge to find new clients until a new platform emerges.

Yes that's exactly it. Tryst was a really good platform for me to find clients when I discovered it and got approved, the clients I found on Tryst were much better than the clients I saw on Leolist.. Then the quality of inquiries started going down and I started getting less of them personally. The clients who find us on Tryst or sites like Leolist often end up checking our social media or the review boards.. I have services I only advertise on the boards that a client who only found me on Tryst could not know about. A lot of the platforms you named have their issues in my opinion..

I just wonder what it is when a person is identifying who to see that puts a lady on the “must see” list?

I try to avoid posting anything from a Toronto lady since it would look like promotion and make someone mad.

Personally, I look for services first, then pictures, then look for reviews and pray they match what my imagination has generated.

Of the ladies I saw in Australia, this was the one who peaked my interest the most when first looking at Twitter and ads, and my time with her was fantastic.

I know there is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, since the lack of draconian laws in Australia and some really hard-fought court cases have allowed for more explicit advertising. But here she is.




What are a person’s first impressions on Twitter? She is beautiful and has plenty of followers and follows plenty of people herself. She tries to follow Twitter’s rules and there is nothing too provocative there. She updates it a lot.

Then you go to her ad. She is available most days with wide time availability. You can cum in her mouth and she isn’t uncomfortable with your anus. Very good signs. She also does role play, so if you are kinky she might be a lot of fun.

She maintains her own website. She comes across as a wonderful person. Nothing she says is bitchy. She appears to be well-traveled and enjoys life. So she would be fun to talk to during the session.

Then you pay, not all that much, and check her Punter Planet reviews, and find they are indeed excellent and consistent with the testimonials on her website and the ones on Scarlet Blue.

So you see her and have a great time. She isn’t inexpensive, but great service in any service business never is.

I can never figure out why this is so fucking difficult. The group I mostly use in Toronto has nice pictures and acronyms on their website profile for each lady. My favorite Canadian independents do this, also.

But there are so many escorts that hide everything, from service descriptions to photos from bizarre angles.

Is marketing really that difficult?

Well as for photos I’m sure many want to conceal their identity. Not every girl wants to be splattered on social media as a sex worker. Especially with ladies sharing how they are prevented from entering US because of that. There was a discussion on that a year or so ago on here. So I can understand why it’s not always first choice for some ladies and I can understand and respect that. I’m not a guy that needs a tonne of pics to decide to see a lady either. Si I’m happy to just look at advertising sites for ladies and have not once gone to Twitter to do so.

Interesting topic. I typically stay off of X and social media for ladies as I assume these platforms are extracting lots of info regardless of being logged in to their service. And for the ladies, the risk of suspension must be tough enough to manage. AI must push social media to the "fuck it" bucket.

I typically use a review board as an exposure to ladies, branching to any branded site or other sites like Eros once there is an interesting post.

I never minded when I get a text out of the blue and I see your point.

Plus, I’m being banned from dating websites because some men with fragile egos can’t handle a respectful rejection. As soon as I say, “Based on the difference in what we’re looking for, I’m not interested,” suddenly they decide to report me simply because I said no or didn’t agree with their “donation offer.” It’s becoming ridiculous. Let women be free…
Some people's psyches are very fragile and social media doesn't help matters. When you're chasing your dopamine fix through likes, and your childhood was all about "participation trophies" and being spared any criticism, all rejection feels life-shattering. So the rest of us have to learn to moderate our attitudes which in the long run only reinforces the problem.

In this particular case, maybe just tell them "I'm sorry but I don't think we are a good match". Their ego doesn't get scratched too much and hopefully less motivated to knee-jerk reactions like reporting you.

There is another factor involved far beyond Snowflakes, and that is affordability and being a spoilsport. And it is why higher-end escorts trying to market on a free platform in violation of terms and services is a disaster waiting to happen.

I am going to see a new lady in a market other than Toronto in the next couple of weeks that I am very excited about. Her reviews are fantastic and communications have been great. There is a message board geared toward the lower to middle market where there are a couple of guys who make up shit about her and they post it after a trustable favorable review. It doesn’t happen on the review and message board geared toward the higher end customers.

Guess what? She started out using a lower-end advertising board charging a lowhourly rate. Her rates have more than doubled since then and she now advertises on higher-end advertising sites such as Tryst. The transition from lower to middle market to the high end is not easy for the ladies. A shame they can’t all just start high-end, but this lady started in the business young.

And the two guys who post shit about her, neither of whom do many reviews, also rage against the goddamn Californians who moved there and ruined the market by paying higher prices. Those are the people who spend time on Twitter reporting ads and tweets.

The world, Canada not quite as much, fortunately, is full of people who can’t afford what they want, so if they can’t have it, they will spend hours doing online terrorism reporting ads and trying to damage the marketing efforts of escorts they can’t (or won’t) afford (so no-one else can have it, either). Online I have seen it done more by old men than younger guys, but it isn’t easy to quantify that. The old men who retired in Germany and thought the Romanian ladies at FKKs would always do BBBJ and CFS for 50 euros spent years trying to online bully other customers into not paying the now market price of 100 euros. My reaction was get a fucking part-time job. The girls didn‘t owe them fixed-price sex until those old men die. Inflation and good service entitles a lady to increase her prices.
