most veteran hobbyist would tell you it's more about the reviews, especially the juicy details, than what escort mall they found the provider on. I know it's expensive, but, where I primarily hobby there are a lot of highly regarded ladies who advertise on Eros. Hope this helps

The escort malls vary by area. You see ads nationwide on all of the ad malls, but IMO the utility of each mall varies geographically.

For example, in Washington DC I find Eros to have too many unreviewed provider ads to bother with my time. However, in Seattle I would definitely use Eros.

IMO, the same applies to CityVibe, and BP. As with any business, know your market.

localized.  RS2K is popular in Chicago more than anywhere.  CityVibe is more popular in certain areas than Eros.  When going to a new city on business, I will often window shop on Eros then verify the lady on TER.  No reviews means I do not see them, especially if they are a touring lady.

If I find a new girl from the TER boards and the vibes are good, I may take the chance and see her, even if she has no reviews.

very much so.

regularly, but haven't seen anyone that advertises on it until now. I booked a well reviewed lady that is coming to my city and she only advertised it there, so far.

Overall it's worth the monthly cost to keep my ad up, but, well -- there are some months that are better than others! A lot depends on your area. If a lot of other ladies advertise on it, I can see how that might have a decreased ROI. If you're one of the few, however, you're much more noticeable.

What I like about it is that it is accessible to both newbie and seasoned client. The newbie often finds it by accident/Googling, the seasoned client uses it as a list of potentials to research further.
