What's going on with the rates for these girls.  Was browsing TS Escorts.  Most girls asking 400,500,600 for an hour and most with no reviews.  More power to them if they can get it. But WTF who would pay that especially for a girl with no reviews.  Thoughts  

I draw the line at 300, that's been the median for most TS providers from what I've seen.  On the flip side you're getting a premium service, Greek, for a low price in comparison to what cis gender female providers are charging.  You gotta think though, prices are where they are because somebody out there is paying for it.  

For a good top ill pay 500 but they have to be well endowed and super into it.

This is a very old topic, instead of posting the same complaints every 3 months try checking older posts. This topic has been ongoing for 10-15 or more years. This is why this board is becoming more and more dated, less and less reviews, more people jumping on asking for questions they could find the answers to themselves and the same topics that are more or less complaints. If you can't afford the greens fees then play a different course...  

Don't be a dick jmaps.  Who cares if he bumps an old post from 3 months ago or creates a new one.  Prices have risen a bunch recently and I found his post very relevant.  If you didn't, just don't comment.  Posts like yours make people not want to post here and that is a bigger issues.

You're absolutely right, why do I waste my time here becasue it's the same old complaints over and over and over and over...

Dont confuse someone telling the truth for being a dick.  

Everything is more expensive so of course rates are going to go up. Especially for girls that travel/tour and stay in nicer hotels. They don’t want to fuck three guys to cover one night and I can’t blame them for that. That’s before even factoring in extra costs for being in the industry and how it’s inherently more expensive being a trans person.

How is it more expensive to be trans?

Surgery, hormone therapy, laser hair removal (if needed) to name a few things. Basically the extra work it takes to be ultra feminine in this line of work. It’s more expensive to be a woman in general and meet the beauty standards some people demand.

The problem is the prices have gone up more than the rate of inflation.  The average rate of inflation since 2019 is a little over 4%.  Thus, when we all had a good date with a higher end $ TS in 2019 for $300.00, it should be a little under $375.00 on the high end today but it's not.  It is not uncommon for twice that much now, or even more for some.  

If you can't pay the rate find a new hobby! If you want to blame someone  look to the clown in the White House. Next year the standard rate will be $500 to $800. I was mention in an earlier post, Inflation is  the culprit not the vendors.

During his 4 years that cognitively impaired senile mediocrity expanded the money supply (M2) so much that core CPI increased 20% --- from 270 to 323 from 2020-12-31 to 2024-12-31. When it comes to topping, no president f*cked americans with inflation this thoroughly since the Jimmy Carter days. Only idiots (or california voters) would miss this fact so thanks for setting us straight.

Agreed. This last clown cost us big time. Thankfully the guy in there right now is attempting to right the ship.

The average rate I see today is $300 - $500. To me that's up from $250 - $400 average 5-8 years ago. That's about 3.5% to 4% or the average cost of living increase. Asking price or advertised price is usually not the actual price, just like so many other exotic or goods, services and products for the more elite. Just like with other aspects of life, we shouldn't live beyond our means, is this any different?

Rates might also depend where you live. Maybe for someone not relying on reviews as there seems to be plenty in the $300 range. I keep a running lost of providers I’m interested in throughout the country. A few are even overseas. While $300 exists, it’s more rare for well reviewed ladies. So, personally, I don’t include that in the average. Now mind you, I only top, so it’s possible the range changes for those who bottom.

Yeah but you can’t compare cost of service offered by a person to the cost of a good. That person pays the increased cost for each individual item and has daily expenses. The increased cost of living is compounded and not to mention cost of living varies wildly by location.

I should not inject politic into this discussion, I incorrectly assumed the crowd was an enlighten group since the ladies we have so much fun with are being deported, persecuted and their rights stripped away. MY BAD! I am just a rich old white man who is loosing his marbles.

In Chicago there are all kinds of solid $300 trans providers with 5+ reviews. Every $50 you go up from opens up the possibilities. Advertised price is NOT the sale price, if a girl is at $400 to $500 for the hour and she is well reviewed offer her $500 or $600 for an hour and a half session. Most likely if she's well reviewed she isn't going to rip you off and you will either get more like a VIP session or they will give you 90 minutes. So you just got about 30% discount on her services.  

I think we're all somewhat rich, somewhat old, white, black, red, brown, purple and yellow men (Rappers Delight reference) losing our marbles, you're in good company!

Perhaps I am pickier than you, or like I previously mentioned you’re including ones who are more tops. For clarity, I’m not typically going near her if she has below an 8 overall or I see red flag reviews. I have 5 Chicago ladies on my list. They are $400, 3 at $500, and one at $700. And I’m not haggling a better deal for 90 minutes and claiming her hourly rate is now better.

I think hotel fees are one of the bigger hits financially for them and depending how many clients they allow themselves to see perday or even if they top how many they could only see after busting I know quite a few refuse to stay in low end hotels because of bad areas and poor room qualities so they take a bigger hit with the nicer hotel but I would say this affects them most when they have a slow timing and come more out of pocket then profit

This makes sense if they are touring or if they happen to be one of the few who require a hotel even when they are local. This doesn't explain those who host at their own homes in their home cities though.

If everyone else was charging a certain rate why would you charge less even if your costs are lower? The market rate is the market rate. Lowering your prices is just going to attract crappy customers.

Well sure, if everyone else does. But non touring ladies far outweigh touring ladies. This seems to be even more so the case with trans women. So absolutely everyone else doing it factors in. But I still don’t think it’s the touring ladies with hotel expenses that is causing the market shift. I think it’s just inflation in general and the fact that as prices go up and they see customers are willing to pay, they continue to test the market.

So explain to me how deporting immigrants, many of which are who we seek in TS providers, is attempting to right the ship?  If I do recall, FOSTA and SESTA were bills introduced by Republicans and signed into law by the "guy in there right now" right?  So effectively FOSTA/SESTA took away BP, and other sites, which enabled competition and lower rates and left us with what we have now.  Very few sites to choose from, lowering competition, lowering selection of providers, and sky high rates.  Your rationale makes no sense.  

When I first started actively posting on the boards I was frequently met with this attitude.  Guys who had been on the boards for decades, and seen it all, shooting down a new monger that came here for advice or answers.  It became a very dreaded experience, so much so that I just stop posting questions.  What is a "same old" complaint to you, maybe be completely new for a new monger just getting into TER, and specifically TS providers and reviewing in general.  We complain that not enough reviewers review TS providers then give them shit when they come here to ask a question.  Which is head scratching.  Not to mention TER was shut down for some years, so that post that you might have seen asking a similar question may be outdated and a few years old.  I suggest that if you see a post that makes you roll your eyes because it's the "same old complaint over and over", just bypass it.  Isn't the objective supposed to be guys/girls on a review board attempting to grow it, not gate-keep information and be the "get off my lawn guy"?

"Lost marbles" --- ignorance of facts, evidence denying delusional beliefs motivated by mindless political dogma … but the attitude tipping over into Dunning-Kruger territory is your self-aggrandizing reflection that you … are the enlightened one compared to others in this group.

What would Jesus do! Slap the other cheek 🤣

Good Evening, you got me curios DF.  What do you mean by " many of which are who we seek in TS providers"?  About the only thing I heard about "Back Page" going away was that there was some child sex trafficking.  Which I am totally against!    About competition, it can help drop prices in what ever business.    
 There is a lot of web-sites, but we do lose some here and there.  In 2021 I sure started getting hurt from the inflation, just like most folks in America.  And that included having to pay a lot for illegal aliens.  Thankfully it's getting better!  And I know this should be reserved for the "Political Board", but I also did see Don Trump as better to vote for President.  As did the other 80% around here.  In November 2016 I got a nice surprise.  I saw my money becoming worth a lot more!  That helped me a lot, in every country I was in!  It seemed strange that it started in November instead of February, but no complaints!  This doesn't mean that Republicans are always right, any more than to say, that all Dems are bad!    Sorry if I'm offending you!   Have a good night!

The best I ever knew was Miss Carla of Panama City.  One night I was driving on the main drag and saw an extreme beauty queen in the street lights.  I went and turned around at a gas station and parked out of sight and walked to her.  I tried talking to her, but she didn't know much english, and I knew just a little basic spanish.  I told her to give me ten minutes.  I got the car and drove to her and she told me where to go.  She was the best in every way and she only asked for $20.  Another time I got stupid and paid $500 and that T-lady was not a memory maker, but that was back in America!  

Maybe the board is dated and sucks because every time someone asks a question the only response they get is they shouldn't have asked?  You really spend sooooo much time on here that a new post makes you angry?

It will always be supply and demand. Like any other commodity, or service.

What do you think the girls from here when they tour Europe. Could I get the same girl cheaper there. I travel so it would be good to know
