I've met some new ladies in 2019, and had the chance to spend some more time with prior acquaintances who were sweet enough to share their time with me. The landscape for me as a whole has changed a bit over the year, and a few things really stood out to me.
In terms of advertising platforms Leolist is still very much my primary source of meeting new providers, as well as finding out when they are available. Even though there are automated bumps for Leo, if I see a provider's ad posted up that day, I have a good chance of getting a response from them that day. And you just can't beat their filters for their ads. I know on the providers side Leolist is expensive, has some pretty severe restrictions, and is heavily spammed. All of which Tryst does not suffer from. Tryst is a growing with more providers showing up everyday, and currently there is a free tier for advertisers. For myself, it showcases each provider nicely. Heads over heels better than say Eros (without that awful warning notice when ever your click on a link (are we in 2009?)), but like Eros you don't really get a sense of if a provider is available that day. It's good for providers and clients who can do a little more long term planning. Twitter and Instagram is a nice supplementary platform, where you can get a good idea of a providers style and personality that doesn't fit into a 500 character textbox. God bless providers who regularly post unfiltered impromptu photos of themselves on Twitter/Instagram. It really lends a sense of authenticity to a provider. Unfortunately, with all the tweets and retweets that show up on a feed there's a lot of noise that can occur. It's especially disappointing and frustrating when lovely providers from other cities and countries appears in the feed, when all I'm interested in are local providers.
As a tangent, I'm finding communicating with providers becoming more drawn out. Texts are still the main form of communication but the delay between responses has grown from say an hour or so to having one message being sent per day. With one provider it took over a week of messaging before we confirmed a day and time.
I've also noticed that a lot of providers are requesting references, deposits, and scheduled dates (not 'day of' dates). Personally, I don't have a problem with them since they do signal a seriousness of intent for both the provider and the client. When I provide references and/or a deposit, the expectation is that there is a greater certainty of a successful and mutually gratifying meeting than compared to if I were to try and meet that same day without a deposit or references. I would say this is true but only slightly so. Though the references may provide greater safety for providers, it is not a good indicator for commitment to the date. As for deposits, I would say they are not a good indicator for commitment either, but it does provide a good filter for time wasters. I've been burned twice this year by it, and both were notable providers, both of whom requested references, and one of whom retired recently and cut off all her correspondence. It's really the length of time that passes between scheduling and the actual meeting is the biggest factor in a successful meetup. I find that anything set up a week or more in advance has a fair failure rate because just too much can happen as time passes. People compare this scheduling to a doctors appointment, "if you can do that, why can't you do with with an escort?" The main issue is that you can go to a doctor looking and feeling like crap. With a provider, both parties want to be at their best physically, emotionally, and financially. The amount of things that can occur for two people over any amount of time so that they meet when both are feeling ready and good can be especially difficult. I've had a fair amount of rescheduling because of this. Not just a day or two before, but up to 20 minutes before hand.
A last thought to touring providers. There seemed to be a fair amount of them passing through Vancouver every year. I haven't had many good experiences with them. Some misrepresented their appearance, or services, or both. Most want a quick in and out. Ladies from Montreal have been especially problematic for me. I just have to say that Vancouver does GFE very well. Personally, I look forward to a connection and chemistry and not just a wham bam thank you ma'am. For this, Vancouver is incomparable to any where else.
This isn't about being for or against anything. I just wanted to summarize my experiences for 2019. I'm grateful everyone I've been with this year, and looking forward to seeing what 2020 brings.
