Ever since Covid and the time in between.  The rates have skyrocketed to stupid donations. Gone from $500 to $800, $900 to $1200+ an hour (in Chicago).  Crazy.  I appreciate and respect the donations that the girls ask.   I know rates have skyrocketed, gas, essentials and other things.

It’s difficult unless you are a known frequent flyer. I just started and have now had 4 girls back out the night before, because I can only do early mornings. One reason I only choose girls rated here. Now, all 4 girls who stiffed me  were rated here, but, at least I wasn’t worried about getting to the incall and being jacked around. Another good reason not to give a deposit.
A girl who will blow your appointment off will keep your deposit.
My nest advice is to choose your girls from here.

This realm hit so many ice bergs with S/F and Covid, to just name two. Many new girls have joined this industry but dont play by the old rules which makes me much more uncomfortable reaching out to them. Many are using OnlyFans as their website, or have no website at all and just a phone or email address. I cant see those women. I have also had to go to other venues to get reviews and profiles as so many ladies have left Ter. And then as you mention, there is the great increase in fees forcing people out of this which is sad.

On getting Blacklisted.. I am on several of them.. Most of the blacklists are a joke. You should know that given that you seem to be around the block with 70+ OKs  

Don't contact any provider for an appointment unless your 100% sure that you want to see her. If you're not sure about services for the price avoid.  Thats why I like to stick to providers that I have seen before in the past.  Best to pay for vip and read the reviews.  Or check your hobby buddies to see if they have seen the provider or know anything about her before making contact.

I don't know the Chicago market, but if it is like the DMV, the Asian agencies have become much more prominent recently.  At least one agency (Discreet Story) is in both areas. The Asian agencies here have a lot of very nice and attractive ladies, typically visiting from Korea or Japan although sometimes now living in the US, and their price level is attractive (typically in the $300 - $400 range). Unlike in the past, where you needed to know another Korean lady to get an appointment with a K-girl agency, the new ones seem much more open to accepting other references or P411.

I never rely on anyone, or any site to screen potential clients. I don’t care how many okays you have, or reviews. It’s a chemistry check for me as well as a safety. I need to know who I am sharing my time with. I have not offered 1 hours dates in a long time, but I see so many providers who are $700-$800 for an hour. I read a review where a guy paid this rate & did not get GFE services. I felt bad for him. At least provide a good service.

Here and from P411.  Great experience and about as safe as one can get in this hobby.

You make an interesting point about chemistry check, which I happen to agree with.  However it is hard, at least for me, to judge when and how much information about myself to share with a new acquaintance.  A line remains which I never want to cross, but that line is different with each person, hard to judge.  Yes, I know the stuff not to say, duh!  It's wardrobe requests, requesting getting or giving a message that is tough to judge.  

Early morning appointments are great for me too, but unfortunately we are on opposite coasts.  

I Hate early morning appts. They feel clinical and lack romance. I’m a Lover of Candles, mood lighting and very good wine; as opposed to awkward conversations, sleepy eyes and transactional body language.

Man Up… Eom

Unfortunately, early mornings are all I can do.
It’s that or nothing for me. It’s made my life very  difficult.

a good point.  I don't mind taking the "TOFTT" risk with new agency girls at $300-$400 because they are usually very consistent from one to the next on looks and performance, and bad sessions are few and far between, but after recent price increases, I will no longer see indies who have less than 10 positive reviews.

I've been running amok lately seeing ladies 😁

Besides the cost alone the performance and looks of providers seem nowhere close to 10 years ago.  Ten years ago you could see a real hot lady for 300 to 400 in my market. DFK, MSOG, BBBJ. Now its at least 700. No kissing. No GFE. Pass.

So I puller the trigger on a porn star that was in the hood at a great rate.  We chatted about the current times and even she said “No pussy is worth $1000+”.  She was spot on and she also mentioned how providers are BL’ing people just to own them or make it difficult.  Not my thing what’s going on out here.  Might be time to let my viagra prescription expire.

I can only imagine the looks of a bargain basement porn star who openly states that “no pussy is worth $1000”. Most hotties would not even entertain the conversation.  

In that case bring on the coffee and coochie!!

Elitemodels.es has a lot of Brazilians pass through.
