i've noticed, however, that guys in any given region or city have slightly different criteria for rating their ladies than would be found in other regions.
that is to say, a 7/8 in los angeles would be considered a 9/10 in cincinnati (just pulled those cities out of the air, do not take that example literally).
i think we in los angeles have a higher standard, not to be elitist about it. but this is the seat of international movie making, so there is a municipal law that every citizen must be a 7 or higher just to be allowed to go out in public.
therefore i think we mongers have less 9.87's to put on the top 100 list because we have high high standards. not to demean other cities and their ratings parameters; i just think we have taste.
the ladies here are fantastic; but they have to work really hard to get those really high scores because there is so many wonderful competition out there in this region.
i would agree that las vegas might have a large percentage of gorgeous providers...i also like to peruse the nyc ads and chicago ads for those days when i want some new eye candy to fantasize about.
i am not disputing your original premise; however, like everything in this hobby, ymmv. i think here in los angeles we've got a pretty nice selection of gorgeous and capable women to choose from; i think la is severely under-represented in the national top 100, because we are stricter in our score-giving.
i may sound like i'm being down on the ladies and mongers here in la; that is not my intention. i don't think there's anything wrong with having standards, and imo we have the best selection of women to choose from in the country, esp. in terms of percentage (way more great times to be had than so-so times).
so back to the op premise: i will admit i have been considering a trip to vegas just to sample the wares there; however i'm also considering a trip to san diego and a trip to the bay area for the same reasons.
i'm happy with the selection here in los angeles; i wouldn't want to be in any other part of the country for this endeavor.
