Personally I think I'm done with the TS girls. They just don't cut it when compared to the average cis woman when it comes to p4p. They want to charge $500/hour to provide service that ranks way worse than the average AMP. Too much rude behavior, bad hygiene and dangerous providers. The amount of drug use is insane as well. One girl recently left her crack/meth pipe out in the bathroom. I've had a lot of fun over the years but it might be time to move on.

I agree the hobby has changed a great deal in the last 20 years, in many ways for the worse. Unfortunately, like the ongoing change in the world we live in, what can you do about it? I do think the worlds oldest profession is essentially the same as it's always been, we simply have more obstacles to overcome these days. When review sites started you could read bad reviews by less than great providers and it helped others from the same trap. But many providers with multiple bad reviews and others kept going, why? Is it the PT Barnum thought "there's a sucker born every minute"? I don't know, but I'm sure that has something to do with it. I think the only choices we have is to use more caution with unknown providers, do as much research as possible and then think at best this is a 50/50 chance of a good time which aren't great odds. Or we can quit, or protest, or strike and then what? Just 20 years ago there was 6.5 billion people in the world, today it's over 8. The world is growing faster than ever, there's more providers and more customers but also more things to navigate today.

Dax has an interesting point.  I think he was only talking about in America.  I was staying away from the ladies in America, because I was too well known in America.  I quit calling it the U.S. back during obama's time.  In the other parts of the world, the ladies were always a gamble.  I never saw any in Mexico, so I can't give much advice there.  As far as the T-ladies getting worse, I don't know.  Arab T-ladies seem to be the worst, at least in Europe.  Beware if you notice the writing.

 I think my favorite place for the T-ladies was Barcelona, Spain.  Good weather and peaceful.   Though Bogota, Colombia has good weather and is more economical.  There is a lot of big cities that you have bad parts of the city to watch out for.  I think my all time favorite T-lady was Carla of Panama City, Panama.  

As far as going on strike against the ladies, I probably will not be of much help.  And you really need to work on a plan.  And how to get the info out to the ladies.  I think a lot of hobbyist are now instead of anally, it's now annually.   Maybe things will get better next year.  Sorry about getting off subject.  Always feel free to ask any questions.  

Sorry for your experience...where are you?  I'm a bit outside Boston but travel up there all the time. Years now, and I can say I've neither been dissappointed, certainly never ripped off.   Apparently its that sweet spot of  high percentage college/research types, very wealthy, combined with  the most liberal politics in America. Certainly completely LGBT friendly, the governor just made headlines supporting sex change operations for prison inmates.  

I have favorites who visit again and again and again, they must know something.   The Boston area is #1 on my list for my upcoming job change.

I think there's an ebb and flow with the different big cities in the states. I've lived downtown Chicago for 25 years in that time it's been hot for a couple years and them lame for a couple. Currently the travelers coming through have been great but they haven't always traveled here. I remember several big named girls from Florida, NY and LA saying they don't travel to Chicago becasue the guys are cheap. But recently many of the newer and or hot providers have been hitting the windy city. We need to look for the changes and adapt our approach as such to minimize the frustrations...  

There are some great solid providers in MN.

Phony ad content, exorbitant and misleading or multiple pricing for undefined services (VIP), detached and miserable service and a gullible simp customer base who fork over the fee before even knowing what she's actually going to do ... it's in abundance is this social wasteland, probably more so than even New York. But for a provider into the quck burn & churn M.O., it's paradi$e. So take the headline post with a pinch of salt recognizing the particular location.

Thank you gentleman, great discussion. This is why I keep renewing my membership discussions like this. I will check you reviews for options.

Firstly, on behalf of trans escorts everywhere, I'm mildly shocked and genuinely sorry for your bad experiences. I've scrolled through some of the boards here, and the openness and honesty you guys are expressing about your experiences is good to see. I try to be better than local cis escorts and price competitively against them, and tbh I didn't realize just how low the bar was.  

However, I do have some advice for clients who are frustrated with the trend. A lot of the sites I'm seeing links to either have TS in the name or generally use fetish-style wording for their escorts on the site. As a rule, if you want to find more professional and genuine providers I would suggest you avoid escorts who post to sites that call them shemales/transsexual/ladyboys. We aren't just escorts, we're also trans women, and the ones who are willing to lower their own standards and advertise in a place where they are exclusively fetishized are going to be much lower quality than you would otherwise find. Not going to name the platform I use myself so this doesn't get accused of being an advertisement, but I would look in escort-focused locations that have a trans section over a trans-specific site.  

For those wondering, the more respectful terms are Trans and Transgender. TS isn't malicious but it is heavily outdated.  

Also, just as a side note, I did actually notice business drop this month so idk if it was a coincidence or if it was as a result of a general strike but if it worked, good on you!

Poor service, high prices, misrepresentation / fraudulent pictures are just a few of the reasons why I support the strike.  Having I reserve the right to support the providers I have seen in the past that provide excellent service.  I dont think going to other cities around the world is a practical answer, lets fix our home.
