A friend in the business had recently told me that they were unhappy with the way that gentlemans world went about doing their business. What I mean by that is this. This friend of mine has a agency with alot of girls and started to realize that when their girls exchanged numbers with the person at gentlemans world the girls would soon after quit and start up their own business using no other than geltlemans world as their web design.

I don't know about you but I find something very wrong with that. What that tells me is that the individual from gentlemans world is nothing more than a lazy thief. Individuals work hard to keep their agencys up and running and its most likely not that easy with all the competition out their and I dont think that whoever decides to do advertising with whatever company that they choose to use should have to worry about that company(Gentlemans world) is stealing their business away from them.

I dont know? Am I wrong for posting this?

Ok. I see what you mean and understand what you are saying. Let me see how I can word this properly.

A friend of mine has a business that was recently opened and has been using gentlemens world as their advertisers. This individual introduced the girls to gentlemens world and the next thing they knew gentlemens world had exchanged numbers with the girls and then proceeded to construct new personal web pages for them. Shortly there after the girls would quit and start business on their own web page.

This is fine and everybody has to make a living. What I don't agree with is that the webpages with the girls and gentlemens world were never discussed with the individual that started the business and gave gentlemens world advertising jobs and the girls a place to work and paid for their advertisments as well.

I personally think that that is not the proper way to do business. I think that something is wrong if this is not discussed with the employer. If there wasnt a problem than their would of been "no sneeking around" so to speak.

I am not trying to show favor to this indivual by any means or am I out to try and ruin somebody's reputation, all I am trying to do is let this person know that everybody has the right to do business with whomever they choose, but there is a wrong way and a right way, and I personally think that business has been done the wrong way when it comes to the discussion at hand. Or as I like to say mowing someone else's lawn

Thanks for the input all of you. So pretty much what you are saying is that it is ok for somebody to do all the work and then have somebody come along and steal it from you?

Has anybody out there ever heard of actually working hard for their money? and if you cut out the middleman then there wouldnt be any agency's now would there?

Like I said before there is a right way to do bussiness and a wrong way to do business. As far as offering a better practise iI think that is kinda hard considering that everyone who has ever had a business or started up one knows that money is tight these days and there is not a lot of disposable income, at least as much as there used to be.

Then again look at the business it self and oh my god what am I doing? Why don't I just go straight to the horses mouth instead.

There isnt one person out there that hasn't had this happen to them one way or the other, shape, or form and if you can say that you were fine or happy about it then you are a liar. We all know what it feels like to be taken. Im sure if I did some searches a few of you have been taken but thats apparent.

Whatever this happens is just good to know what peoples feedback is . Thanks for coming out.

oops I slipped said:

How is this bad? What services is you friend providing to the girls. Obviously if they thought they were receiving value for their money they would stay with your friends agency. Why doesn't your friend start their own website and work at marketing the girls themselves rather than going through a third party. If all your friend is doing is calling an escort listing site and putting up the girls profile it seems rather silly for the SP to pay a large portion of their fees to the agency owner. For a small monthly fee the girls can put up their own profiles and save themselves hundreds or even thousands of $ a month.

Ok I guess steal was the wrong word to use in the situation. My apologies. The only problem with what has been said is that the actually agency is paying for the sp's ads. The sp's aren't paying for a thing. I must not have been clear about that earlier.

Gentlemens's world knows this but still charges 65.00 us per girl per site. I don't know the house deal is the same as the rest of the agency's around town, the place is very clean. Oh well that's the way it goes i guess. Thanks guys you have been a help.

Doing all the work and let someone stealfrom you?

Isn't this what a girl should say when she is working for an angency? LoL


Check this out. If the owner of gentlemens world is going out of his way and recruiting girls and getting them into the indy business, I guess it would be ethicly wrong in the business sense. But if the girls are going to him, there is nothing wrong with that.

I guess the best bet is for your friend not to use gentleman's world's services and let it be a lesson learned. Some girls like the convienience of working escort, so that they can remain discreet. I understand the overhead cost of an escort agency and agree with Dufferin that if they were happy they would have stayed.

I don't know that it is fair to call it a scam on the part of Gentlemens world. The $55 to put up a profile of the girls with pics, etc. seems to be a monthly fee. GentlemensWorld isn't an agency therefore the only money they receive is the monthly advertising fee. It would seem to me that GW wouldn't really have anything to gain financially from convincing the girls to go independent. Getting a monthly fee from the agency for each girls profile would be just as good as collecting it from an Indy SP. In fact since an agency would mean collecting the fee for numerous profiles, my guess is they probably prefer dealing with agencies. Therefore it would seem to me that the girls are deciding to go independent and advertise on GW on their own.

Your friend could insist that the ad they paid for be removed, but there is nothing illegal or unethical about the escort paying GW to create a new ad for them as an Indy.

My advice would be that your friend only submit photos of the girls that he/she has taken themself. That way they would own the copyrights to the photos. That way if the escort or GW changed the contact number and kept using the photos your friend could sue them for using and profiting off copyrighted materials without your friends permission.

While it is not Gentlemen’s World policy to answer every childish and stupid accusation, I was asked by many of our friends and customers to write an answer to a thread in Perb called Gentleman’s World advertising scam.
First I would like to thank all of you who have defended us against these false and illogical accusations and also further clear the matter by mentioning the following points and lies:

1- Gentlemen’s world (GentlemenWorld.com) is an advertising web site and in no way is financially involved with any escort agency or independent escort. If we have no financial interest in this business then why should we try to convince a girl to quit an agency and start as independent? It should be obvious that from business point, it is much easier for us to deal with an agency with many advertisers than dealing with each one individually, as sirlickheralot (nice handle) also mentioned in his reply. Why should we risk losing a bigger customer (agency) business in order to get few of the girls as advertisers?

2- We are accused of making a web page for an agency and then selling the same page to an escort and getting paid 65 USD. What is the URL of this page? Who has this web page? What is the name of your friend’s escort agency? The truth is that our advertising rate is $55 USD/ month (the rate that is paid by our USA customers) but due to the economic situation in Canada, we only charge our Canadian customers $45 CND/month or 120 for 3 month. In this price we even provide the escorts with a simple web site (at no extra cost) that is hosted on our servers for those who do not have their own domain. Why should we copy a page when we offer to make them a free web site?

3- I do not want to get in the discussion of pros and cons of escort agencies but it is my opinion that each person has a right to decide about their employment and work condition. Therefore if any ladies approach us for help with advertising and web site, we will help them independent of if their previous employer has been a customer of ours or not. We believe in people’s right to decide over their own life and we will not sell our principal, in order to keep a customer happy.

4- Gentlemen’s World has been around for 2 years now and our success in this time and support of our visitors and customers is the best proof of that we are doing something right. Not only do we try to help our customers as much as we can but we also provide browser with trace destruction, anonymous surfing and web-based favorites (bookmark) for our visitors at no cost. For those of you who do not know us, you are welcome to ask about us and our business methods from any of these beautiful Vancouver ladies like Angel, Victoria-lee, Jordan, Sugar, Felicia or any other of your favorite ladies who advertise on our site.

In the end, I have some words of advice for the person who started the thread, “People are not stupid” always remember this. You started the post in order to hurt us but every one easily saw the flaws in your logic and it just generated more traffic and new customers for our site. If you want to make your site a success, try helping your customers and giving them value for their money instead of attacking us.
I would like to thank again all our friends that supported us by posting here or emailing me. Be happy, be safe and don’t forget to have a lot of sex.

What's the big fucking deal? Absolutely, it is in the SPs best interest to go INDY. Your friend, OOOPS, is nothing but a pimp. And although I'm all for taking the easy route in life, let the girls open their crack for dough where he (agency) takes what 40%. What effort did he put in?

While I'm all for those SPs starting out to get in touch with an agency but eventually they realize they are worth every penny they get paid instead of dealing out a large percentage. It's inevitable. There is no stealing. The SPs got smart.

Well I never have been called a pimp before but oh well shows the mantality level. Anyways you people are missing the picture here and whats even worse is that you people base your opinions on how long somebody has actually dedicated there time to the board.

You people need some serious help if you are going to base your judgement on someones "tour of duty" on the perb. This isnt vietnam and we arent americans.

One thing has come to light though. You people are nothing more than a bunch or gang up artists and don't really care who is right or wrong. You are more interested in how many posts you can get on the board so you can become a senior member.

What if I told you that I have proof of what I am saying and I am just waiting for this individual to leave the business before i expose GW? What if I told you that after numerous attempts from sp's wanting sites removed GW has ignored them. Pretty much a F U to those people who have paid GW for their services and actually keep their business going. Gee thats funny if you think about it the more girls that advertise on Gw then the easier the bills get paid right kate?

You people don't even see that. That's a pity, and for the individual that called me a pimp..... well it's good to see that you passed the sixth grade and don't really have anything to say about the subject at hand or if you did it has already been said eight times before so go play in your sand box or something and leave this conversation to the grown ups.

So in conclusion I have nothing more to discuss with you people, cause you have a one track mind and thats popularity. Your F***ed. open your eyes, and take a look around you. Kate don't worry unlike most of the people in the city who talk a big game just to get on the band wagon, I am going to deliver so you don't have much time to get all these people on your side so hunker up you have your work cut out for you.


OOPS saying peace out, grow up, get lives whatever. Stop living in your shell and open up your mind and have individual thoughts instead of being one track minds. Jesus I feel like this is high school all over again. How was it said in half baked again?
F**k you, F**k you, F**k you, your cool, F**k you im out.
