Is it just me or there seems to be a lot of complaining around in various threads? Might be the holiday season...
I figured it'd be nice to have an "all in" thread where people can just bitch about stuff while, hopefully, remain somewhat respectful.
I can start with a few points, some of which have been brought up elsewhere, by me and others:
Agencies, Indies, Clients... everyone bears part of the blame. But that's the hobby we live in at the dawn of 2024.
Fortunately for me, I found my sweet spot. I should be fine.

I can start with a few points, some of which have been brought up elsewhere, by me and others:
1- GFE is not GFE anymore: I stated before that, now, you have to double check about the DFK and DATY parts before booking with an agency, but if the trend continues, you'll have to double check the BBBJ (or just plain BJ) part as well in 2024.
2- Physical ratings are inflated: I, personally, will refrain from rating SPs I see on their physical attributes. First of all, because "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but mostly because most people seem to have lost their minds (or balls) when giving high grades. The only example I'll give is this:
- 10 means perfect, 10 means dream girl. 10 means unattainable. Maybe 5 SPs in Montreal are truly 10s.
- 5 means average, and there's quite a few floating around.
- In between, you'll find the GND types (6 & 7) and the hot / really hot ones (8 & 9)
By giving 10s left and right, you lose credibility by creating false expectations, hence disappointment.
3- The industrialization and dehumanization of sex work: The Incall business model implemented by XO and Euphoria is a financial success for them. Their girls get fully booked really fast. BUT... 90% of the sessions are 1h sessions with really short breaks in between. What do you think is going on? There's 0 intimacy, 0 romanticism and, in the end, pretty much 0 human connection. 18-22 yo spinners get pounded up to 5-6 times a day, day in day out, by a line up of guys eagerly waiting for their turn outside. I'm sorry but there's nothing appealing about this... quite the opposite when you really think about it.
4- Indy rates: I get it... you got expenses and you're worth it. What's funny though is that at this price (and, dare I say, age) range, your targeted audience is a lot smaller. And from what I see, there seems to be more and more competition in the Indy market. I'm pretty sure some (most?) of you find that times are somewhat difficult. 450+$ per hour? Add another 50$ for Outcall with a minimum booking of 1.5h? Really?
I could go on and on. I could talk about Screening, LeoList, false stats on agency websites, etc.Agencies, Indies, Clients... everyone bears part of the blame. But that's the hobby we live in at the dawn of 2024.
Fortunately for me, I found my sweet spot. I should be fine.
There you go... I started it
