a bit off topic but it's a slow night for me.  First I partake in the hobby in new york every once in a while but i feel like i keep up to date on the happenings in the ny area.  Never been to chicago or LA in this regard but what i was wondering is what others feel about these 3 markets?  In ny there are lots of providers listed on eros but I have the feeling that a large majority on a % basis are of dubious authenticity or performance.  chicago has less but it just "feels" like the ones that are there are of on a % basis relative to nyc are real, not sure bout LA there is so much going on there i can't keep track.  what do others think?

Well, I can't speak for Chicago but I can for LA.  Just like most major markets, there is alot of competition so the fake pic factor is quite large.  But you really can't say that tons of providers are terrible.  Trust me, LA has more than enough churn and burn providers. The good news is most have been identified.  In my opinion, whats different about LA is we are very close to Mexico so many latin providers pop up all of a sudden with zero info.  The fake pic factor in Eros LA is typically at least 20 percent and higher on other sites.  In my opinion, I have been burned by top notch 3xx+ roses providers and also the budget girls. In addition to that, I have met some amazing girls who are not on any website or newspaper who are smoking hot and their main goal is to ensure you leave with a smile on your face.  

Does this answer your question?  I'd say no. There really is no way to pinpoint the markets except to realize that the good, bad, and fakies are in all major cities.  The reason to review TER and do your homework ahead of time.

Chicago has got it share of flakes, fakes, and thiefs. We also have some of the best too, to name 1 would be Rachel. You can't find a better person than her, a true gem in a field of fools gold. If you don't have a great time with her, then there's somting wrong with YOU......

The thing I like about Chicago is that because it is a major metropolitan city, we get a lot of travelling providers so if you keep your eyes peeled, you can experience the top-flight providers from other cities, but in a pinch there are a few Chicago locals (Eva, Amelia, Jasmine) that ALWAYS perform up to their well-deserved reputation.

This goes for GG providers as well.
