Well said and you articulate most of my preferences, but I'm not sure I understand "no sessions by the hour." I'm curious.

Gift cards are a normal form of deposit ... but that doesn't mean you aren't getting roped into a scam! (I'm guessing that's why @Flyingby asked which provider.)

Kudos to @Julia Sky and the other SPs here who congratulated the vote-getters. Classy stuff! May I respectfully suggest that there are other recent threads for debates and complaints? Congratulations to all the SPs who received votes!!!!!!

Thank you to @MrProfiteroles for all his work!

This is beside the point of this thread but I wonder what the average number of meetings/year is for MERB members. I'm often astonished by how many dates some men go on, but my guess is that 4-6 meetings each year is average or maybe even above average, at least over 15-20 years.

Then the OP deserves all the scorn we've got. No sympathy from me. It would be one thing if he were new to the scene, was priced out of the agency or indy market, or simply wanted to convey his frustration at being scammed. However, he's got a robust history over the last few months of posting...

Well said!

SPs often express frustration out here about last-minute cancellations (lots of grandmothers dying in January!), and I don't blame them. It's a waste of time and a loss of money. The same is true for clients, especially ones (like me) with limited opportunities to indulge in Montreal. It's all...

You confirmed two hours before the date, you changed your work schedule, and you drove for four hours? I wouldn't apologize; I'd be grumpy. It's unprofessional. "Sick apparently"--and suddenly, it seems....

Ha! I genuinely wasn't thinking of any individual post, and I agree with some of comments in this thread--but overall these threads don't go anywhere and may end up doing more harm than good. I'm sure I'm not alone in rolling my eyes when I see the word "race" in a thread's title. Let's all get...

The threads on race are consistently the worst threads on MERB. They're dispiriting and unilluminating. Everyone is angry and reactionary, pointing fingers and casting blame (which is always ... elsewhere). There is rarely any self-reflection or even much self-awareness. Instead of comparing...

Cunha is brilliant but needs to control his temper. Spurs could use him up front somewhere; Son is a shadow of what he was (as you said); Solanke, Timo, and Johnson are all out; and Richarlison ... well ... he seems to be an injury-prone poor man's Darwin Nunez. Actually, I enjoy watching Nunez...

I'm in complete agreement with everything you write. LOVE to watch United lose. I was enjoying the Southampton game for 82 minutes; it was painful to watch Amad after that. Spurs ... what to say? Is it the manager, the players, the injuries, the owner, the "spursiness"? It's a disaster. I enjoy...

It's unnecessary, hurtful, and hateful. Why do so many people care so much and get so angry (and violent) about this issue? Can't we grow up and deal with things that *really* matter?

Any fans out here? Anyone thrilled by Forest's form (COYR!), amused by ManU's decline and fall, bemused by Spurs' disjointed collapse, impressed by Slot's Liverpool? We've got the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Champions League and Europa League .... And the Canadian Men's National Team has some...

I think you're overreacting. As far as I can tell, your very brief comments in the review section have not been censored or censured. However, they're really just brief comments, and the person running the vote doesn't consider them substantial enough for the added points. And ... that's okay...

That's quite consistent with my experience as well. The only thing I'd add is that I've found Indies to be more consistently good--but not more consistently outstanding. Of my top 10 experiences, I'd say that it's about half agencies and half Indies. My bottom 10 are all agencies.

I agree, and it may be more true now that there are so many Indies. I'm curious, though, whether you're comparing the higher-priced Indies to other higher-priced Indies ... or to agencies/lower-priced indies. In other words, are you saying that there's no correlation between price and quality...

Vieux Montreal is Old Montreal, a section of the city that is well worth visiting, dating back to the 17th Century. Narrow, winding cobblestone streets, interesting shops, European charm, and ... tourists! It's quieter this time of year than in the summer and very attractive. If you're a walker...

I haven't seen anything too dark on MERB but years ago I spent a fair amount of time in Las Vegas and on the LV TER and other regional forums ... and I saw a couple star SPs seriously flame out publicly and make a big mess along the way. I know that substance abuse played a part in one of their...
