So Since TER shut down . Also the government turned it upside down too !! Rates have gone up and performances have come down ! I’m not for one that will bre grudge any one there fee I simply just won’t see you ! Time waster I’m not !! The reason in my eyes ladies don’t want reviews is because it hurts her business . It’s gotten so bad that I’m considering of bowing out

I know what you mean about rates and slimmer pickings. Besides several sources in my area that have shut down, some of the replacements are simply full of scammers. Backpage is gone but three similarly named boards are at least 75% scammers. All one has to do is tread the text in the ads to know.....I have seen literally dozens and dozens of ads that have exactly the same text, word for word, except for contact information and photos. Occasionally even the phone number is the same.

There have been some changes but I am finding out that lately many more high quality women are returning, or just starting out new. I sense there is going to be a boom in the industry, for many guys like myself had remained on the sidelines until we got vaccinated. Don't quit now as I believe the best is yet to come in just a few months, especially with the weather warming and thus ladies may be more apt to travel, with Covid hopefully reducing as well.

I'm not sure it's as reliable as when Gina owned and ran it, but it's still around and a good link to lots of women who also have reviews here.

Date in a civvie world...
Find an SB.
Find a street walker...  
Just jerk off..
Porn....
Become a monk..  

I agree.  Building a favorites list of TER reviewed ladies who advertise on P411 is a very good hobby plan of action these days.  Scrolling through most any escort mall right now reveals many new faces, almost all with no reviews.  I think the uptick in mediocre reviews here on TER has more to do with TOFTT than any other factor.  P411 membership is a bargain at $149/year.  

is to find A Few Great Providers with prices in your budget (research research research), then stick with them.  

It will!  give you time for remedial ! English classes.

I believe the increased rates serve several purposes. Higher rates helps in screening out bad clients. Higher rates mean less wear and tear on the body and less fatigue. I think this benefits clients.  

Ashley Madison is a sausage fest.  Or at least it was a few years ago (when it got hacked.)  It was like 100:1 guys to chicks.
.
Seeking (SA) is probably the best bet.  I've met a few off SB (Secret Benefits) but SA was a lot more target rich.

What is SA?  

I would be happy to have a regular rotation of quality ladies, but I have been out of the hobby since late 2018.  I did have one regular some years before that, but she stopped coming to my area. If she came back, I'd be there as quick as I could.

I have been priced out of the game, and not seen anyone for years. Even if I did all the research in the world and found someone new to see, they ALL require references. Plus I retired a couple of years ago, so funds have been cut in half and I do not have any employer to prove that I’m not LE. For the most part, I feel my time is over. I just login, read the discussions, and look at profiles that I’ll likely never be able to see. I do hope you are all safely enjoying this hobby it at the level you can.

I haven't noticed any real change in rates - maybe it depends on what area of the country you're in.

Ive probably hooked up with about 30 ladies from SA. Most were 1 and done as they were not that great.  Ive had 5 that were ongoing and fun but you have to work it hard. I much preferred the old TER dsys. Ive also met around 10 SA ladies that were definitely pros.

If you're retired, travel is your friend. Dirt cheap flight to Mexico in off season, Chicas for 1/10 the price, and AirBnb for dirt cheap - nice ones, too. Look into Merida, Mexico. Hell just retire there.

Not a wide selection but I'm happy with the one's I know.  

I know what you mean. After being stood up last night, I went on Eros to try and find a last minute date. While I found four lovely ladies in my immediate area, I was in the mood for outcall, and that was not on the menu. The incall rate was on the edge of affordable and the ladies were top notch but I just didn't wat to visit a hotel at those rates. The ones who were willing to do outcall were either out of reach or the notice was too short.  

You could try the sugar babe route.  They don't operate like pros with reference requirements, etc.  It's more informal, like dating for dollars.  As far as cost, you can find some on the low end, but the savings there is more in hours per visit ... i.e. you might get 2 hours for $300 instead of 1 hour, but it'll still cost you the 300 (for example,)

Me too. I have had some outstanding experiences at this level. The highest I've gone is 500 and honestly, I've had much better experiences at the lower price point.

I've certainly waited till being vaccinated. I only wish more providers would include that information. I am much more likely to see someone who has been.

I feel the same. I have been vaccinated and am just starting to ease back into things. Honestly, Its not that I dont want to work. Its just been a really weird year, and I think Ive turned completely feral now. Also, my new passport just arrived so I really need to just travel and blow off some stress before Im ready to show up authentically for a client. We are coming back little by little. Just be patient with us.
