Me personally, Bia thanks for asking I enjoy the gentleman.

I don't think I really understand what you're asking!

finding attractive women here to fuck at reasonable rates.  I'm not sure if that's what you're asking, or not.  Personality usually doesn't come into play unless I'm considering repeating.  

Many times, all I need to make sure I am compatible with a lady is to venture to TER. This site can cut my research time down to quite literally, 5-10 minutes. Pictures, profiles, menus, pricing, reviews, etc. along with the ability to pm reviewers are all just gold when searching for that elusive, yet needed, perfect compatibility.

The inane back and forth between CDL and his stalkers.

I think you are among a pretty small group, but I know there are a few providers who lurk here for that, too, instead of watching soaps during the day.  OTOH, the smaller the club, the more elite the membership, right?  Lol

Ter used to be THE place to go. Government overreach knocked it out of the running for several years. Its now one of the many sources needed to qualify great providers. Many of the others are free.    

Not anymore for me. It used to be so much better in quality and for the donation level over ten years ago.  
Otherwise this site still has a bit more info than just ad sites. Just a lot more filtering and searching to do than before.  
For me, I think it's dead to me in this western state and will probably have to seek other states or in europe if I ever do decide to try it there.

I greatly appreciate your honesty. I am excited to continue to make quality connections via TER. I understand what others say, but I also realize that there is another market of clientele here on TER that are not active members…meaning they do not write reviews & do not post on the boards. These men utilize TER as a tool to verify providers in the profession. To make sure we are legit. I think it’s still a pretty cool site & I am on the WESTCOAST it ain’t dead honey.

How many paid VIP memberships vs. how many members have submitted a review in the past 6-12 months...or posted on a board.

The best thing I got out of TER was the forums on learning how to navigate in this lifestyle without ending up in jail or robbed.

I like to come here to make new friends

Soaps are dead.  Talk shows, talk shows, and more talk shows.  

TER helps me understand what to expect on a first encounter.  A history of reviews gives me, perhaps falsely, a sense of security up to a certain point.  

Agree. I use TER for (1) my safety and security, (2) verifying a lady's looks and performance, and (3) searching for prospects in an unfamiliar locale. I rarely ever see a lady without multiple positive TER reviews. I do post a few reviews, but not many. I've been a paying VIP for 8+ years.

Seeing providers who are not worth their rediculous rates.

I hate taking one for the team.

For TER to be a leader as it once was, it should really outperform other sights. A few depending on the area of the USA are free and more accurate.
