The Bitching thread

[LC18]

Il est inclus à volonté avec la plupart des mets principaux. Désolé j'ai juste réservé pour moi, Luna et Giselle. Tu arrives trop tard. LOL

I don’t like bread I was just surprised it wouldn’t be free, my parents are cheap I doubt they would have paid for that and I remember going there as a child

My problem with this board is that it has a very specific demographic, which doesn't allow many points of view. For that reason, when people bring new opinions and ways of seeing things, they are insulted or demonized, and they leave, censor themselves or change their way of interacting in order to fit in with the crowd

If we take the word "demographic" literally, I would say that it's quite the opposite: we have people from a vast age range, from different ethnicities and levels of education. My view on the situation is that most of our disagreements here are actually generational, and to a lesser extent, cultural. Let's face it, it's always the same two or three people who are often confrontational, and they are predictable–and not part of my demographic.

Maybe I worded this the wrong way, but there are very specific types of people who use this forum a lot, and men from certain demographics are more common here.. I also don't think being ''confrontational'' is a bad thing, as long as it's done with respect.. The disagreements here always revolve around the same things as well, in my opinion.. and I guess that's because of the reason why this forum exists in the first place.

Anyways, what I was trying to say is that I don't think this is the right place to seek advice on certain things or find solace, but I'm glad some people were able to have truly vulnerable discussions with their peers if that's the case

You're right that this isn't the most ideal place to get true answers about difficult subjects but I would say that any place is a good place when you're alone and need to ask some tough questions sometimes. Can you trust most things people say on here? Maybe not. Will you potentially find some other people who've encountered (and overcome) this particular obstacle in their lives? Maybe yes. And that's why sometimes there are "wins" on here, amidst the insanity.

I can't get my head around that rôtie refers specifically to toast in Québec in French ...

It's included with most meals. I love bread, but it doesn't work well with my low carb goals. So, I try to stay away from it.

Rôtie de porc, Rôtie de boeuf. It refers to a cooking style. If you come across a French Canadian saying:Rôtie, instead of toasts. They are either not French Canadian or you should not eat said toasts and look for an escape hatch.

Rôti de porc, et non pas rôtie*. Des rôties, c'est plus joli à dire qu'une tranche de pain grillé, ou toast :- )

Yes that's how I use rôtie in French. Or without the accent for me it's the Indian (flat)bread lol

Maudit! J'fais attention pourtant...
Merci.

Les québécois n’utilisent jamais rôties pour désigner "toasts", et même en France on l’entend de moins en moins.

En effet.

Je l’entendais souvent à mon ancien travail mais ça venait de personnes en haut de 50 ans et c’était il y a 10+ ans alors je pense que c’est juste de plus en plus rare

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:

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

prices are just crazy! $500 an hour?! can't be serious

 

[Fradi]

Look at the bright side. That was in 2024, we are now in 2026 and it is still the same.
Then again if you couldn’t afford it then you probably can’t now.

There is always the production line of the agencies if you want to save. You might be number 3 or 9 in line but if you insist on being first they will always tell you that you are, and they would never lie to you.

Oui mais les français utilises plus d'anglicismes qu'ici.

En théorie.. mais dans le langage courant les Québécois en utilisent beaucoup. Mais pas les mêmes. Je trouve ça amusant de remarquer les différences de langage. Même au Québec et en France, les expressions et mots utilisés sont différents selon la région. J'avais un copain qui venait de Québec et ce qu'on appelle "un épais" à Montréal, il appelait ça "un gros jambon"
