Compared to the US, the review boards up here are great. PERB does do a good job. And it wasn't better in the past.
I remember a time before i discovered review boards
- Thread starter lukom
- Start date
I don't think it was better in the past. Very little information to base decision and far fewer higher-end escorts.
When they strolled downtown, the sws would have their breaks at a couple 24 hour greasy spoons on Yates st in-between Douglas and Government. Good food 😋
Now the OP has me wondering how we survived our youths - the days where "call display" was performed by pressing *69. Unfortubately, chess players were calling with *67. How did we ever survive???
I was around in the late 1990's and early 2000's and there is no comparison -- everything is better now. Communication is easy and open and most of the agencies and providers pretty much put on their webpage what you can and cannot do and what it will cost you.
I went through my notes on the 'good old days' and finding an escort that would kiss was always a bonus. Many wouldn't allow DATY either.
And with due respect to all the wonderful and beautiful women I shared good times with in the past, the incredible beauty of some of the women I have seen recently is astonishing.
The biggest surprise for me after 20 years -- and I'm not 20 years better looking or in better shape -- is the incredible enthusiasm of the women I have been with recently.
So, no -- things were not better in the good old days. They were just different.

So was The Platinum Club from what I've read. I've never stepped foot in that place but what I find interesting is, that the Platinum Club is still open in the mist of numerous negative comments surrounding it.
I honestly think that perb is a largely untapped resource. Nobody in their right mind would waste money on these ripoff joints otherwise.
I have to agree. Maybe that should be the collective New Year Resolution to use the resource well.
Ah, but I still have some wonderful memories of Swedish Touch on Hornby.
Maybe I'll have a moist dream about her sometime...
Don't get me wrong the options were limited you can say, but I never got ripped off, never had to think twice, I just liked the ad and called up the girl and went whenever our agreed upon time was. There was no BS for me at least. Learned about review boards and joined cause I was noticing the volume of providers increase suddenly (just before the Olympics) and found it sketchy that a lot of out of towers were here. These days I can't see a newcomer without good reviews, life is too expensive for me to give up $300+ to a scam, or to a mediocre service provider who's too scared to be truthful that her restrictions are higher than her list of services
Here in Victoria, I guess you could say the golden age was 2005-2015. So many agencies where legends got their start before going indie,Dana,MIA,Seven A.U.D.R.E.Y. Sienna,Beth,Savanna. Man those were awesome times GFE was becoming a thing and bbbj
Now we got LeoList with OnlyFans models and Japanese AV girls, some things never change.
It would have been around 2004-2005 that I had my.first experience and yeah everyone was quite straight forward and transparent with what they did.
Well anyone can post on those platforms it seems though. It's why there are so many scams, even with so-called verified accounts on LL, some of which have managed to setup OF.
Yes, and it's a hassle to report scam ads. I wouldn't trust the verified ads either. I guess LL knows who pays their bills
The old days were not better. I'd go along the stroll and right behind the ladies were their pimps. I saw how many get beaten by their pimps? Dozens.
No ripoffs? Baloney. I had $2700 stolen from my by a pair of street walkers who went to the ATM with me, watched me input my pin and then stole my wallet while having sex with me later. Another SW stole my wallet from my pocket while taking my pants down in the car.
You'd drive down the road and pull over, never quite knowing whether the woman you were picking up was a cop. For the women, sure they'd ask you to pull your pants down so they could touch you but cops aren't stupid and stuck their fingers through their underwear. Lots got arrested falling for that one.
Life is way better today for everyone, especially for the women.
I generally stayed away from the street walkers. Never had that experience there to be honest. I always needed someone with a place where we could shower, chat, and get to it as opposed to somewhere in a back alley or the car.
It means it was a way for prostitutes to check if a john was a cop, or square/civ. A police officer would never expose his genitals, nor be allowed to accept sexual touching of his junk,
or vice versa in touching the prostitute. Same went for johns. A legit female officer couldn't expose her breasts or genital.
