Yep, totally agree.
I've recently seen some Tgirls who are total duds charging $300–$500 an hour. They’re unattractive and/or have small dicks. And even some of the attractive Tgirls charging $500+ an hour don’t really bring anything super appealing to the table. Are you guys paying those prices they advertise or negotiating them down to reasonable levels?
And yes, I understand inflation but my argument is the quality of the Tgirls charging these exorbitant prices.
When I’ve done sessions abroad (Italy, France, Spain, and Amsterdam), the market is completely different — way more genuinely attractive trans escorts with big dicks who are versatile and charge super reasonable prices.
I'm in the NYC/NJ area for context.
I do think the T-girl experience is overly inflated and I will not pay that much...albeit, I did pay a little more but she was worth it. I would only IF they have great TER reviews. I find that some who get a bad review or two have someone or even themself put in a good review right after the bad and that persona only has 1 or 2 reviews which is a red flag for me. Anyway, to answer the question, yes, I do think there are way too many overpriced T-girls who do not give anything close to a true VIP or GFE experience. Also, what is $300 for whatever and VIP $500?

You're just saying what a bunch of guys have been saying for a few years now, with both Cis and Trans escorts. Prices are going up but the quality is going down. People made a lot of money in the adult entertainment industry during and immediately after Covid. As a result a bunch of people rushed in trying to grab their piece of the pie but not all of them were cut out to be quality escorts. It is also harder for us to weed out the poor performers because we lost a few review sites and many escorts started delisting from TER. This is just where we are. A lot of clients have been talking about cutting back or changing habits. At this point I think that is the only realistic option. If it isn't worth it for you, stop seeing escorts. The only way things get better is if guys vote with their wallets. Don't plunk down cash on unknowns and stick to well reviewed escorts. Don't see providers with a no review policy or providers that have delisted.
Yeah man, I've definitely been more selective on who I see as of late. I don't mind paying premium prices if the quality & service is there.
I definitely believe that the quality of the trans escort market is abysmal for a variety of reasons, but I don't think you're the right person to send this message. I've read through most of your reviews, and you haggle with almost every trans provider you contact, no matter how much or how little they're charging, when you could simply go see someone whose rates you're willing to pay. That alone is enough to make me not take anything you say seriously. If all trans escorts charged $150, you would probably make a post complaining that they don't charge $75.There's simply no winning with certain clients, and I think people like you resent the fact that there isn't a line of gorgeous women outside your door begging to sleep with you. Just see the providers who tickle your fancy with rates that you're comfortable with. Rate shaming and throwing shade at providers you have no interest in seeing accomplishes nothing.
LOL, I've seen plenty of high-end escorts too, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. It seems like you made a bunch of assumptions after reading just a couple of my reviews. FYI, the reviews I've posted represent about 20% percent of all the sessions I've done. I've done sessions abroad across multiple countries so for you to tell me I'm not qualified is laughable.
I try to stay objective in my reviews. Some providers simply aren't worth the rates they're charging, and I share my honest take, that's what these forums are for.
My issue isn’t necessarily the price — it’s the QUALITY of the provider charging the price. Know the difference before commenting nonsense.
Can't afford to TOFTT when its $500 just for an aggressive glorified 10 minute HJ before being kicked out the door.
Yes! Especially when compared to Europe and South America, and I've heard parts of Asia as well. I don't believe it has anything to do with inflation though. It has to do with the culture of the USA. More than any other country we tend to pay even higher premiums for what we want; cars, jewelry, clothes and so on.
Some of the girls mentioned charging crazy fees are just not being realistic, but some would rather have 1 client every few days at 500-800+ than 2-3 clients per day at 250-300. If guys are dumb enough to go for it can you blame them? Any person in sales would do the exact same thing.
I was just in Brazil, most girls jumped at 300-400 dollars US, that was great pay for them and is 1500-2000 in Brazilian currency. Agree with this poster that most girls throughout Europe are in the 300-400 Euro range, equal to 330 - 450 US. The service in both areas is generally better. Even some smokin' hot girls there are still reasonably priced.
I think it's simply that the girls in the states have less competition and the guys here are easier to get over on. However, if you do see a girl with a price tag that's a bit high, simply move on to the next girl. Don't be the American who will pay any price for what you want, becasue for many of the bad reviews here, that was an ingredient that set them up to fail from the start.
Another way to think about it; if you have a chance to be with a smokin' hot trans for $500-$800 but only have an ok time, would it be better to have a better time with 2 different girls who weren't as hot but only 250-400 each?
Comparing what foreign providers charge to what U.S. providers charge is comparing apples to oranges. The SW market in other countries is totally different than it is in the United States. Cost of living and salaries in other continents are low enough for $150-200 USD an hour to be justifiable. Thats unacceptable in any major city in the US unless the provider is guaranteed several clients a day.
Maybe I’m just not the most desirable, but when I started out charging $250 an hour, I wasn’t seeing clients every single day. Lower rates doesn’t always equal higher volume. If you charge $500, people try to haggle you down to $300, when you charge, 300, they want to give you 200. There is no winning with everyone. We all need to just do what works for us and stay in our own lane. There’s no right or wrong.
Tgirls in London typically offer more reasonable rates compared to trans providers in the US. Cost of living differences aren't a good argument, as the two are fairly comparable. Cost of living is pretty similar in parts of France, Spain & Italy too.
You find them unattractive and don't like that they have small dicks, so you haggle with them? Or, maybe you're saying that's what you do for the attractive ones who do not bring anything to the table? This makes little sense to me. First, I am not going to book them if I find them unattractive nor if I feel they don't bring anything to the table. If I don't want a small dick, I will also try to avoid that too, and reviews typically help with all of these. I don't get the logic of haggling to get something cheap because it's not what you really want.
As for price inflation, that's a real thing. But I do not haggle. If I don't think a provider is properly priced, I simply do not contact her. But I also won't ignore price increases. For me, it's being okay with a slight bump because things costing more over time makes sense. But also not being okay with those who are taking it further than I feel is okay.
Just to clarify — I don’t haggle on prices at all. I’m talking about the rates I see listed in the ads themselves. I only reach out to Tgirls I find attractive.
I’ve come across ads recently of CD’s with horrible wigs & makeup charging $350–$400 an hour. Obviously this can vary a lot depending on each city, but I’ve been seeing some lower-quality providers asking for $400–$500 an hour.
I was just wondering if other guys are running into the same thing.
