Merb get together

[DetectiveDavidMills]

Most girls know a lot more about us than we think
Merb names
Real names
On linkedin I’ve seen girls look up my profile within a few days after our meeting

I no longer have a linkedn profile for privacy purposes

Well yes, of course they do. During the screening process for some SPs guys happily give them their real names, addresses, birthdates and photos when they send copies of their government ID. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to get the rest from that, provided the guy has an online presence at all. For the life of me I can't understand why some men are willing to do that, having absolutely no idea what happens to their info afterwards.

If it happens again my first advice for organizers ‘Dont try to recreate what it was', you can’t times have changed .. back in the days we did not have GPS and cameras in our pockets.
For the girls attending… having their faces posted on social media was not even possible .. (circa 2005) InstaWhat ???


My advice for anyone who did attend back then .. dont expect it to be what it was .. kinda like going to see a SP with high expectation … recipe for failure

Huh... I know these events happened before my times too but there was a huge boom of them around 2013-2014 and times didn't changeed much since that. There was cameras, GPS and all the other stuff that exist today.

Now should anyone expect something as great as the bigger ones then? I dunno. The main issue that we would face would be participation of agencies. I think for a an industry party to be succesful you got to have on board at least ONE major agencies and said agency having about 50% of their roster represented (at the least). Then you add indies and you got a nice ratio of women. But as i said many times, what is the incentive for agencies to participate if they are already always fully booked? Another solution could be to have "smaller agencies" tag along... but in my opinion, you would need at least 10 ladies from various agencies to consider it a succes... But of course im just speculating.

After that you need a good crew to organize and thats another major roadblock.

@Flyingby Well technically it was actually a major failure last time lol. Not sure if you were joking (irony) but it really didn't worked out. That said, to my defense, as i mentioned many times it started more as a "who want to hang with me that night for a few hours" and really grew faster than anticipated. My intention at the start was not to make a "true GT" of old or anything. It was just to meet a few fellow merbites. I supose in that regard it kinda work as i did meet a few new guys but anyway i digress.

I’ll throw the party, but only on one condition: I’m doing it with @Flyingby , since we get along so well for all these years. We’re definitely the perfect example of what it means for members to respect each other, no one does it quite like us. Honestly, I think we’d make a pretty awesome team, but that’s just me.

Obvio would be the best host and would make sure everyone is getting along

I went to one and the SPS did not seem friendly at all as I know many from TO were there as well!

The meetups worked out well for me. It gave me an opportunity to see the girls I wanted to later schedule an appointment with.

But, for the most part I go to Montreal to meet girls and not guys so I didn’t have much interest in going to these regularly.

Not sure about the validity of what you said.
I have not seen any indy who ask for that info

No irony @Halloween Mike.

You took the time to try and organize it
Some ladies showed up
Hats off to you for that
