It's quite useful, if you read between the lines a little. As for the hidden gems thread, go for it! Of course, history has dictated that the guys who are most likely to know the hidden gems are the least likely to share them in an open forum, at least here on MERB. Also, definitions of both...

I never really understand why people see agencies as their only reasonable option to source companions. Of course there's LL too, but there's a number of local classified sites that advertise SP services, there's the MPs, there's the secondary pages and there's the semi pro channels as well...

There's very little correlation to rates vs performance, so there's no real reason not to go downmarket if you're a little strapped. The difference tends to be in environment and occasionally but not always somewhat on looks, but there's little or no correlation to looks vs. performance either...

Yes, it's coming up again, but as this is a consistent, constant and growing issue for the guys it's likely not the last time either. Since it's a post by a guy aimed at the guys there really doesn't seem to be a reason for SPs to get upset about it being discussed either, as long as it's...

John is just a word, but it has negative associations, much like the ladies here would generally rather be called an SP rather than a hooker, because using the latter term is considered to be rude. It's a more socially acceptable term within the community. Yes, using client is fine, but it is...

If you're going to be in Asia then you should absolutely use wechat. Of course, you should also be using a monger phone/chip. WeChat is an invaluable tool in many asian countries. Having said that, it's next to useless here because it isn't widely used except by some asians communicating with...

It's pretty much window dressing, and hobbyist doesn't really mean anything special or interesting in and of itself. It's just one of the many words that men use instead of calling themselves "johns". Using pooner or monger is the same thing. Monger is generally a more used term elsewhere and...

I can't be bothered to invest the time, honestly. I'm not managing a business tied to the issue, and not managing anyone's preferences but my own, so I don't really care much. It's pretty well known anecdotally. If someone else wants to do the heavy liftng then more power to them.

Not if you're only counting MERB men, but the evidence is available in numerous studies tied to men at large. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, as everyone will do what they want to do anyway and I don't want to suck up too much oxygen on this. I'll just say again that there's no right or wrong...

It's true that the people here aren't representative of your regular clientele, but they don't need to be in this example, since the preferences aren't tied to hobbying in general, but rather to an overall gender perspective. Whether men prefer makeup or not isn't tied to whether they're mongers...

There's some context spread over a few threads, and one of my threads got deleted for reasons unknown but long story short it comes down to: If you want more clients do what they're asking for (little or no makeup) or target your clients to reflect your preferences (less clients but better fit...

The studies are pretty consistent, and reliable as far as that goes, but they don't really matter, and they aren't an indictment of what you like. There are guys who don't like bolt-ons, don't like tattoos or piercings, don't like certain hair colours or body types or whatever. This in no way...

Men have always generally preferred that women wear little or no makeup. Women seem to insist on doing it anyway and it seems to be more that they compete with other women to do what they think looks good regardless of what men think even though they say they are doing it to look good for guys...

This is a difficult question as the expectations vary depending on region, but generally speaking internationally across the majority of venues GFE is a more romantic experience (like a girlfriend) and signifies that extended periods of french kissing will be expected and permitted. Some...

coming from where? If you have to take a flight then Montreal is not the best option available. If you're just driving over the border then the ladies don't get any warmer in the summertime than they do in winter, sooooo...... Weather is a crap shoot. Plan a variety of activities that could be...

Not looking to use anything other than the tv as a playback device. The HDD is FAT32 and the movies are all NTSC. Not looking to use a laptop (only keep a chromebook now and not looking to use it for this purpose) and I do use a PC and chromecast but I find the PC less than ideal to use for...

Does it have to be in Montreal? Understanding that this thread is older and that responses may no longer be relevant to the OP will ask anyway. Options may open up depending on what the answer is.

Baiscally, I'm looking at the new setup now. My intention is to pick up an LG C3 as a tv, and a Nvidia Shield Pro as a streaming interface and as an interpreter for the HDD. The HDD is a WD MyBook 14TB with USB 3.0. The majority of the movies are older formats like AVI and MP4, and not 4K. The...

I meant the overall data volume. Not sure if there will be a bottleneck through either Nvidia or Plex. If you have that volume of movies and there's no issue then it shouldn't be a problem as far as Plex goes. In the Nvidia it will auto generate metadata for your movie collection for display...

That's a lot of tunes. I should be raiding your music inventory instead of looking for good online sources! lol. It is time consuming, for sure. Took me a couple of years to digitize the movies too. I still have to convert older formats to MP4s if I want to watch on tablets or phones. I've been...
