Don't mind paying  for good service  but many of these amatures  are a joke at the price they ask. No review no big bucks honey. Great way to get more reviews on these ladies. I am back to regulars only. To hell with these  gay boys in makeup with prosthetic tits.

Yes, agree. Prices have gone up a ton in the last few years.  In San Diego area, we get lots of Mexican/South Americans that have recently crossed the border.  You would guess that would drive down prices but they are actually driving prices up imo.

I don't think there's much of a spike in the actual "gift" prices, I'm accustomed to $250 - $500 over the last 3-5years. That is up about $100 overall average in that time. It also depends on the sites they're advertising on. However, I have seen a big spike in asking prices which are usually in 3 distinct categories, mainly on TSEscorts; 1) VIP porn star provider whether well reviewed or not. 2) A very well reviewed provider. 3) a new provider who thinks she's all that but doesn't have a clue yet. Types 1 & 2 you have to pay to play with them. Type 3 either don't believe their hype or play into it. Meaning, don't even consider seeing them, or beat them at their own game. Ask for a Facetime introduction, offer to review them, ask for a 30 min session if they want more than 500 per hour, offer them half of thier asking price for a 30 minute session, that you'll tip more for good service, you'll write a review etc.

Agree easiest way to combat this is NOT TO PAY IT. it's that simple they can only demand what the market will pay. They can ask 500-600 and I'd no one payed it you will see rates drop

I think I'll keep with the $180-$250/hour Asian providers.

Plenty of great Asian  providers who charge $200 around LA providing great sex and company, with none of the Mex/South American attitude.

I’ll go $400 for an excellent provider.  Perhaps 5 if it’s an extended session.  Massage parlor, $120 top

Agree totally with others who have stated these rates are exorbitant!  I would never pay $500+ unless it was for someone I deem extraordinary and/or I hit the lottery.  Regardless of their review status, I have my limits.  Thanks for this post and the strategies put forth here.  Frankly, I thought I was alone and being cheap but this confirms my fellow hobbyists feel the same as I do.

A very interesting thought on this topic is how the rates aren't crazy in Europe or South America for trans providers, it may be the same for genetic providers also. In the states you see the crazy asking rates posted, some may be fetching that rate but I think at least half is just nonsense. In Europe and South America I've never paid more than the equivalent of 300-500 US dollars for the very top providers. Girls who used to be in porn, girls still in porn, girls with an already decent following on social media and even on a personal pay site like OF and so on.  

I don't know if it's becasue these countries are older and the oldest profession has a longer standing legacy there? Is it becasue everything in the states is hyped or sensationalized like our news verse other countries? Girls like Jessyca Ketlen, Fabiola Voguel, Kim Petras and many others are all within that price point. France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, Columbia all in that range. Could it simply be there are more trans providers in those countries? Is it becasue they're more socially acceptable in those areas? I don't know but it is true that trans providers have lower price points there than here...

Talking about crazy rates.  Miss Alexandra Bittencourt wanted 500 Euro, which is a lot more than $500 American!  Fixed it by waiting like everyone else, then she finally came down to $200.  I jumped at that!  Then that seemed like too much.  One of the best T-lady's I got to know only charged me $20, yes that was just $20 dollars!  There was a lovely T-lady Miss Bianca in Barcelona that just wanted me for a boy friend, which was great!  We would spend days together, going places and enjoying life together!  And the funny part was, that we didn't know much of each others language.  

About those who say they never ran into scammers in Europe, there certainly is, like there is in America.  In London I learned to watch to see if their phone had arabic on it.  Or if there was others living in the same apartment.  In South America you need to pay complete attention to details of everything around you.  And that starts from when you're picking up your luggage and exiting the airport!  It can be like playing James Bond 007.  I prefer a hotel that has pick-up / ride service, that is not contracted, but straight from the hotel.  I almost bailed out of a moving van in Turkey.  And it was dangerous when the 737 airplane ended up landing in Pakistan.  But that was because the 737 was running out of fuel!  

My favorite hunting grounds are down in South America!  There's a lot of pretty / foxy T-ladies and it's more economical!  You can spend $2,000 and that pays for transportation, the hotel for a week and 8 or 10 T-ladies.  And also have a nice vacation!  In America you can easily spend that much on less.  Though It can be a gamble anyway you go.  As for seeing the T-ladies in S.A. it's better if you can get paid to go.  That was the most economical way I ever found to go!
