Transsexual
In this week’s EROS-by-the-Numbers…….
The total number of girls drops for the fourth week in a row, down another -2% to 932. Is it a coincidence that school has started? Just how many of our girls are classroom sweethearts? There’s nothing like a plaid mini-skirt and librarian glasses…..
-2% 932 Totals
For the second time in five weeks, the entire Northeast posted losses across the board, except for one city—Boston, but its number simply did not change. Washington DC took the biggest hit, losing -19%. New York hits its lowest point with 129 girls
293 Northeast (-6%)
054 Boston (0%)
129 New York (-4%)
038 New Jersey (-3%)
026 Philadelphia (-4%)
046 Washington DC (-19%)
The Southeast also lost girls in every city except for two—Hot-lanta posted a 44% increase and Tampa/Orlando grew by 11%. Poor North Florida lost -75%! (down from 4 to 1).

001 North Florida (-75%)
041 Tampa/Orlando (+11%)
046 Miami (-26%)
The Mid-west posted a modest 3% increase in girls, up from 117 to 120. And, while most cities lost girls, the big surprise today is Wisconsin, which pulled up a 100% increase of girls from 2 to 4!

The South has plugged away on idle during the summer months, which is no surprise. I think our girls don’t care much for the humidity. On the other hand, they seem to want some creole cookin’ as New Orleans increases 38% from 13 girls to 18.
109 The South (-4%)
024 Dallas (-17%)
018 Austin (+6%)
031 Houston (-18%)
018 San Antonio (+6%)
018 New Orleans (+38%)
The Rockies was the only area to post increases across the board, advancing 13% from 56 girls to 63. Colorado was the big winner this week with an increase from 13 girls to 16, but Las Vegas still holds a commanding lead with 33 gals.
063 The Rockies (+13%)
016 Colorado (+23%)
033 Las Vegas (+6%)
001 Reno/Tahoe (0%)
013 Arizona (+18%)
Despite -25% drop in Portland, the Northwest rebounded from its 54-count last week to a total of 63 girls. San Francisco, with its mild end-of-summer weather beckons the girls back with a 24% increase to 47 providers.
063 Northwest (+17%)
002 Vancouver (0%)
011 Seattle (+10%)
003 Portland (-25%)
047 San Francisco (+24%)
Finally, the Southwest drops -4%, perhaps as filming wraps up. It’s only the second drop in the past five weeks, but LA still maintains its above 100 level with 104 girls.
127 Southwest (-4%)
104 Los Angeles (-4%)
023 San Diego (-4%)

numbers here Cat....and all along for the last 30 or so years, I thought that while living in Phoenix that we have always been called the Southwest
Maybe he is going by time zone. Don't you mirror mountain time now? Regardless, CAT, great info but one suggestion.....Maybe post this mid week. My analytical skills are fried by Friday end of day to even try and digest the info
all I know is that I never have to worry about changing my watch living here in AZ I do know that during the summer months till Oct, Cali, Vegas and Phx are the same time....
Interesting data Cat. It would really be great if you have time to track this for awhile and see if it's a seasonal or economic or other trend.
I'm wondering two things. If there are less t-girls immigrating to the USA, causing a reduction of new girls as others retire.
I also wonder if with the poor economy a lot of girls are giving up paid advertising and migrating to the CL casuals or other free venues, or just hitting the stroll like in the old days.
Or if they are simply leaving the industry for LTR's or jobs in other sectors. Though with unemployment so high I find it hard to imagine many t-girls being at the head of the hiring line.
Regarding your "school" surmise, that is quite possibly true. I know of several girls who have gone back to school. There is FASFA grant money and student loans available to college students. Maybe more girls are looking at this economy and thinking maybe schooling offers a better future.
My partner returned to school several years ago and will graduate this spring with her BS. So girls - it can be done. It will have taken her 7 years, but if you keep plugging away anyone can reach their goals!
Anyway, thanks for tracking this Cat.
Hugs,
TS Jamie
Thanks, Jamie!
I, too, get curious about the trends, so I'll be tracking this every week. You brought up an outstanding point: this is merely a track of one paid advertising outlet. CL, Backpage, and the other outlets--oy, that's like standing in front of a revolving door all day and counting how many times it turns. At least EROS offers a day-to-day static number, so it's easier to track.
It's been brought up before on the board, but I've been very interested in the range of ethnicity of our girls. Sure wish this was easier to track, even in EROS. It requires opening every single page. That's the sort of thing that I would only have time for on a quarterly basis. Still, I think it would be interesting.
It also must be said that the data has an unreliable aspect because it relies on self-reporting. How accurate is that? Hmmm. Also, the duplicates will throw the numbers a little. Plus, the fakes with multiple ads will throw the numbers.
Still, all in all, it's a good general indicator, and it's kind of fun to do. Thanks the support!
