Oh no, we don't only attract MERB users, far from it. Most of my clients who found me on here were only looking and not participating. I would have stopped many years ago otherwise; the pool of MERB users is actually quite small.
I understand when you mention that Merb members may not be a major source of encounters but when you mention "not participating" do you mean they don't post (lurkers) or are simply not members and read what is public?
Could it be that, in general, Merb members don't identify themselves as such when meeting a companion, especially new first dates?
Not participating actively, as in not posting, and some are not members (lurkers / stumbled upon the advertising section when searching on Google, something like that).
Maybe more of my clients are/were posters and didn't tell me on a first encounter. Yes, it happened that someone told me a bit later he was on MERB, it happened recently. I still think it's definitely not the majority of my clients. They tell me they found me on Twitter and what's their username there, though!
I am very hesitant to book Indys who have a no reviews or a no-review policy, especially if the price is way above the average rate.
Yes, this is why I advertise here. A lot of people see our ads and our comments but don't participate. I always ask how someone found me and I would say that a lot of clients have found me here but either don't have an account or never made any posts (or very very few)
I'm not a client and I can't really say what client's needs are, but what I've heard from many people is that they just check reviews to see if someone is legit or not. Like someone else said, active merb users are a small percentage of clients. Most clients don't even leave reviews or rarely leave them.
I have no idea what the numbers are but i'd be curious to know the ratio between total users / active users (who log in at least once a month) / posters.
As i said, my guess is there are very few posters (5 to 10% of active users???) and even less in "the Lounge" section.
It may be an unpopular opinion but that's why i don't really see MERB as a community, more like a useful tool.
Again, it's my personal opinion, don't take it the wrong way i know some people meet outside of the forum but that's not my thing.

There’s a lot of men that will tell me “I’ve found you on merb but I don’t have an account. I just read” or “[…] I have an account but I’ve never posted anything”
I know some people include it in their booking form. When it happens, do you answer honestly?
Or maybe you don’t see indies. Sorry can’t remember.
I send/sell them but I really don’t want to receive them. Anytime I receive one I delete it from the chat right away
I do not see many indies, no. But I did see a few and I have given my nickname a couple of times because it was the only screening option I was ok with. Not gonna lie, I'm not a fan, but I understand. Long story short.
If an agency girl asks me if I use merb, I'll say yes. But I won't give them my name on the platform. None ever asked me anyway. Sometimes they're just interested to know how/why you booked them etc etc.
And before you ask, I would respect it if someone asked me to not write about our encounter (never happened, but I would unless it was a total nightmare which honestly never happened to me neither) or to omit certain details (actually happened). My reviews are pretty generic anyway, on purpose. And I don't write about all of them.
No. The most i would send is a single selfie.
Though I have let some use my phone to take a photo of me, and ask my master if he minds they recieve a copy. Nothing too personal. Things I might post on my socials, or have after the visit. But it is only for those I am willing to. I don't allow the opportunity to just anyone. (They often have tipped well enough that the request already feels compensated for without the expectation of recieving the pic in the first place, as they know they aren't entitled to it.)
I get some men are proud of their dick pics, but if I didn't give you the green light to send it, I don't want to see it, and might result in the end of the booking process. It's just rude, and the equivalent of a trenchcoat flasher when we aren't expecting it. In most women's oppinion.
I like a tasty nude, where his dick is covered so I can see everything else but.
We all have different needs and reasons for requesting a photo for screening; each provider will tell you what she needs to feel comfortable.
Why are you quoting me? I, personally, do not agree with the "no face" part.
