This hobby has gone to hell in a hand basket.  We as the consumers need to take action or we will continue to traverse this mind field of bull shit. As AI launches we will be inundated with move phony content. We need to do something. I need options or I am retiring.  I have a girl who is the gold standard for providers, I guess I stay with her until she moves back to Mexico. No more verity for me.  Still boycotting until Nov 1.

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.

Read 2 reviews of different T-girls (one Kayden of course) who started multi-tasking, servicing the next customer before the previous one could get his shoes on and belt buckled so he could leave the scene.

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.

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.  

Hooking up with Kayden is like playing STD russian roulette

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...  

Good point, agree 100%. This hobby has been going on since way before civilization, there is naturally going to be ebb and flow, like there is in the economy, real estate, interest rates, unemployment, and everything else.  

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.

blah blah blah

Your review history suggests otherwise.

but it is not easy lol. one thing also with the girls is the 'check out my onlyfans' comment as a kind of review of service. 85% of the onlyfans accounts are awful. bad angles, same goofy guy, video of a female foot, or girls eating sushi in a luxury mall. these accounts dont represent the service well, they are just bad porn. or good porn that tells you nothing about service.
i might strike again in Nov.

Try living in Cleveland. It’s a damn nightmare. The majority of ads popping up on tsescorts are fake. 🤦🏻‍♂️

One eating sushi in a luxury mall with a Louis Vuitton handbag by her side and a bitchy look on her face ... OR ... one running an ad featuring her giving the middle finger to all prospective clients ... which one do you choose?

Well, theres a NY City effect too...I always feel ripped off there in general, whether its escorts, restaurants, clubs, whatever. Few months ago I went to NY dance club, long line, told doorman let me in for $100, he said ok, I was led in, woman at cash register said $300; "$100 + $200 for your drink tab".  She looked at me like "take it or leave it, I have 500 other suckers waiting". Whatever, I was there...paid cash, NEVER a CREDIT CARD in those places.  Walked into a jammed club where you could barely move, pounding music, waited to get drink, bartender knew nothing about tab. The NY experience.  

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.  

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.
