Look behind you.
Why would anyone give their handle to an agency or SP or even let them know you are on a board? Do you think you will be treated better? I think it just cheapens the experience, it would be like telling a restaurant that you are a food critic and get a special meal. Reading some recent posts a few agency owners and SP's know many peoples handles. Not a good thing in my mind. It is not like you will win a prize or anything and some of the things I have read recently I would not want people to know if I were him.

I see your point.

Why would anyone give their handle to an agency or SP or even let them know you are on a board?

it is also a case by case situation. Every situations is different.

If the SP recognized you because how the meeting went, well there is no point in denying it, I only feel flattered that she remembered me, and she feels flattered that I took the time to put the details in our encounter.

If it is a board advertiser, it makes things easier for the encounter too.

Do you think you will be treated better?

It has its pros and cons. Not necessarily.

The key is mutual respect in whichever situation that happens, giving your handle or not…

I think it just cheapens the experience

That's your opinion. I respect it. I agree partly with it but not entirely.

it would be like telling a restaurant that you are a food critic and get a special meal.

True.. but have you seen the movie Mystic Pizza? You might have a different take on that.

Reading some recent posts a few agency owners and SP's know many peoples handles. Not a good thing in my mind. It is not like you will win a prize or anything and some of the things I have read recently I would not want people to know if I were him.

I understand your perception totally. Anyways, it's up to the hobbyist. Hobbyists and sps have different takes about boards and such, so many scenarios can go right or wrong.

Hello STN,

Isn't a big part of what you are asking is about using the handle for favors, discounts, freebies, and the use of reviews for those? It's an understandable concern. Still, mentioning handles isn't just about that. It can be about having a connection with a lady and getting her to see you when she otherwise would not have chosen to work to see an anonymous client. Now sometimes it might be agency schmoozing to make a client feel good, but I have been able to see some ladies on days off and Sundays because of our connection. Independents especially seem to be responsive when they know who they are seeing.

Still, I rarely mentioned my handle before seeing a lady the first time. When I did have a particularly good time with a lady I would tell the agency my handle after the encounter so that I could be more likely to see her again. Agency owners are sometimes annoyed that I did not tell them my handle before meeting the lady. So instead of my handle I have used a couple of fake names not used on any board. It's a matter of keeping a good relation with the agency and/or lady, and looking forward to future opportunities.

As for the cheating issue, I have never gotten a freebie, or more than a publicly advertised second hour discount. There was the time when the owner of the old Platinum agency accepted a previously confirmed lower rate with a previous agency for a lady (Chrystelle) just at the time she switched to Platinum. I was contacted by an intermediary member about the offer after I had considered the previously arranged meeting closed because of her move. That was all well publicized on this board before we met...and before the review.

I have not chimed in to the alleged situation with SAM because, as the first poster of that thread says, and other members admit, it's hearsay and conjecture. Too bad the supposed lady who first provided the info has not posted and doesn't seem to have provided the mods with proof.

I'm sure cheating by using handles/reviews is fairly frequent. In a hobby that requires an extreme amount of money that is no surprise. Some are just cheap, and some are addicted enough to put themselves into deep debt, and some are just double-dealers at heart. So it happens. I cut my meetings when I could not afford so many. Others are too sexually impulsive for that.

I don't think anyone needs to know who you are or what your handle is.

As I said, some way to identify yourself may motivate a lady to work when you have the opportunity to see her. I rarely mention the handle in favor of a fake name.

good luck,

Merlot

Come on! The person that founded The Erotic Review did so because he had so many bad experiences. I am sure that the review section came into being for the same reason. There are several advantages for seeing a lady that has a web site. You have recourse for bad service by reviewing that lady online. Ladies that you pick up on the street or in a take out bar do not offer the same advantage. There is little recourse for these ladies and you are spinning the wheel.

I used to give John of Eleganza my handle because I was a club member and that gave you a 20$/hour discount. But more importantly I wanted him to know that I was a repeat customer and a valuable client. I wanted him to make sure that I had a good time. We had a deal. He would send me lovely ladies that would fuck my brains out and I would give him 180-200$. It was a marriage made in heaven and John did not disappoint.

The Montreal experience is precious to me. I do not get here often enough and when I do I want to have a good time. I want that agency owner to know that I read and write reviews and if I am not happy the board is going to hear about it. If I am happy the board is also going to hear about it as well.

My typical tact is to tell the agency owner up front that I am a MERB member. I will tell them that "I am not going to tell you my handle but I am a member."
Last trip I PM'd agencies prior to my trip in an attempt to prebook girls. When you use this tact, how can you disguise your handle?

Someone in this thread said that hobbyists will reveal their handles because of ego and what I would call an inflated sense of self importance. This may be true in some cases. However, I remember I was having trouble posting a review on TER and I called Martin of Xxxtase to tell him I could not open Liz's profile in another window and therefore I could not review his lady on TER (this was a requirement at the time.) Martin told me something along the line that that's OK his girls will be booked solid whether I post the review or not. He was not overly concerned either way. I miss this guy as he was a class act.
I do not believe that any agency owner would compensate me for a review. I would not ask for compensation - just a good time.

In the past, the guys who gave out their handles and had problems were the ones who were either assholes or had an agenda of seeking discounts or special favors. Eventually, no matter what name or handle you are using, if you are an asshole, you are an asshole under any name, and if you are a favor seeker, you are a favor seeker under any name. So in the big picture it is irrelevant. The agency owners figure out who the problem clients and discount seekers and trouble makers are, no matter what they call themselves.

For those who are not assholes and are not seeking discounts, the main issue in giving out your handle is a loss of anonymity and what that usually means is if you post a bad or critical review, the agency will know who you are. And with some bad reviews I read, a lot of the issues that are raised are issues that could be privately discussed with the agency and then worked out. Other bad reviews have agendas behind them, pursuant to which the poster sought special service and did not get it, making the resulting post arguably board terrorism. Of course, some bad reviews are legit honest bad reviews, and it is these posters who most need to fear some kind of retaliation.

Many of the posts here assume agencies are completely ignorant of who they are dealing with if handles are not used in the booking process, and this is an absolutely false assumption. In the past there were bad apples who became known bad apples under one handle, switched handles and guess what, they were still bad apples under the next handle. People just are not that stupid. The girls know what guys look like, they know who has a birthmark on their cock and the agency owners, some of them anyway, have amazing voice recognition skills. I would go a full year between calls to Chris at Devilish and call him from a new number and he knew exactly who I was before I introduced myself. He has amazing voice recognition skills. Although my voice is distinctive, it is not THAT distinctive.

There is also the issue of handle impersonation, and it has happened on more than one occasion that people have claimed to be a poster under a certain handle, that really isn't. This is the Internet and anyone can claim they are anyone. This tactic usually does not work for reasons noted above. But guess which people are the easiest targets of handle impersonation? The ones who are totally unknown. If you have been to the GTs etc. in the past, introductions were by handles and not names, so the people in the biz mostly know who the players are. I think Sol Tree Nutz will now be a target for the impersonators. A lot of wiseasses are out there reading his post.

Finally, a lot of posters put too many details in their reviews enabling the girl and the agency to figure out who they are. This is again from assuming that they are dealing with ignoramuses who did not notice something that they did in fact notice.

I would also like to add that in the USA, with the law enforcement screening that the indies and agencies do it is nearly impossible to see a girl without a handle. They ask for this as part of the screening process. No handle = no appointment = no pussy!

Agree, I only use a fake name and the booker usually knows me by voice and says hi _____.

I never give my handle to any agency...
But, when you do reviews, if you are not very very carefull, it is quite easy to find out...

- I do give my handle to indy after great connection is established.
- Some indy just ask me, when I see them after I made a review of them, Are you UB?... I cannot lie...
- With indy, after a bad review, I don't care if they know me cause I don't want to see them anymore anyway...
- The problem may arise, if indys (that know my handle) go for agency and I book them at the agency... Automatically Agency will know me...
- I also don't wait long enough before I do review, so, with the details we mention, and/or if the SP did not have other client between me and the review, then I guess the link is easy for the girl or agency.

I agree that if you are the first or among the first reviewers, it might help to get more mileage if the SP knows your handle... I never got or ask for freebies, but some SP invited me to stay long after the hour ends for a good chat. It is not true when you do review for a girl that already have pages of good review...
I don't get more mileage ONLY because a SP knows my handle but also because when there is a great connection, I do care a lot about the girl and treat her with max respect. SP's are very grateful for that. For me, it is part of the pleasure to see a SP that enjoys to see me again.

I'm not a very active hobbyist and mostly deal with indies and review my bad experiences (to save others the trouble). So I don't see what benefit could arise for me from either giving my handle or real name. Let's not forget that this business is filled with shady and sometimes dangerous characters where a small misunderstanding can quickly get out of hand. I value my privacy and safety so the less they know. the better off I am.

Hello all,

And with some bad reviews I read, a lot of the issues that are raised are issues that could be privately discussed with the agency and then worked out.

Other bad reviews have agendas behind them, pursuant to which the poster sought special service and did not get it, making the resulting post arguably board terrorism.

Well, if "worked out" means find a deal both parties are comfortable with then whether that is honest depends on the situation and motive. If the goal was to compensate the client because lady was bad with service, or a hassle in some way, and the client and owner agreed on a discount or significant discount toward an alternative meeting that situation has been accepted as legitimate by board members. However, a de facto part of such an agreement is the first problem with the lady does not get revealed to the membership thus leaving the risk remaining to other clients. So "worked out" is both good business and killing off pertinent information.

In my own case I've never accepted any deal related to anything but a well advertised discount, certainly never any deal following or related to working out a bad experience with a lady or agency. Though I've had issues with two owners I've never had any issues with either of these owners related or connected to a "bad review" at all. In one case it was about being untruthful about the method of business, a fact inadvertently confirmed many times by members. I had never written anything but glowing reviews about ladies working for this owner. In the other case the worst said was the lady wasn't quite GFE, for which the owner went far overboard.

Of course, some bad reviews are legit honest bad reviews, and it is these posters who most need to fear some kind of retaliation.

That's pretty DISTURBING! Honest members "NEED TO FEAR...RETALIATION" most. What are you implying? Habitually vengeful owners? Coercive coverup? Intimidation of members? Threats to private lives? Blackmail against members? Some members acting as hatchet men surrogates for the owners?

Generally you paint a very negative view of this business on both sides.

I used to give John of Eleganza my handle because I was a club member and that gave you a 20$/hour discount. But more importantly I wanted him to know that I was a repeat customer and a valuable client.

Absolutely! There's no inherent reason why using a handle should be associated with conspiracy.

Agree, I only use a fake name and the booker usually knows me by voice and says hi _____.

If you ever feel the need for midget tag team pudding wrestling sex tell them Alejandro de Magnifico sent you. ;)

Cheers,

Merlot,

I think you have misconstrued my post very badly. When I said "worked out" I meant simple miscommunication issues being resolved after the fact. Not discounts. And by retaliation, I meant that you may become a low totem pole client. Plain and simple. These are things that should be obvious. It depends on the situation. If someone is a chronic complainer on the boards, retaliation will happen and his business will be cast aside, if there are balanced reviews meaning positive and negative, maybe not. The problem is most bad reviews, even honest ones, tell one story and usually there are more than one.

I don't mind giving my handle to independents afterwards. When I'm satisfied and write a good review I like to let them know. It's just the two of us and it helps build a friendly client-provider relationship. With agencies the dynamic is different and it's probably best to keep your handle private, because you will have to write both good and bad reviews about the same agency.

Do you mean to tell me that providing your handle to an SP or an agency beforehand prevents you from writing an honest review both good or bad?
