Have CL Hook-Ups Hurt TS Escort Business?

[Shining Star]

Oh, here is me trying to get a little holiday shopping done down by Union Square, when I ran into a trannie I knew, so said "hi" and we shot the breeze for a bit (while looking at shoes at DSW).

All one heard was how "bad" the hoe business was, and that her earnings were down. I replied that the economy was bad everywhere, but Wall Street was picking up and therefore so should her business. Then she came out with it; apparently this girl blames her woes on guys doing CL hook-ups for trannie sex, rather than paying.

Have heard this before, but according to what one has read here most of the non-escort TS ads were from, well to put it mildly "men in dresses", and that no "hot" trans were giving it away on CL.

A quick look on CL/NYC spotted a decent selection of hot/goodlooking guys, but quite honestly none of the girls remotely could fit that term, so what gives?

In a word, no.

Then guys must be stooping pretty low because, personally, I've never seen any attractive trannys in the hookup sections of CL, ever.

But I do think that genuinely attractive escorts are a luxury and not a necessity, so the economy does take it's toll. I'm doing wonderfully in NYC because I'm a newer face, right now. But girls I know who've been here a while are bitching they're getting only one call a day. After Feb, I plan on traveling anyway. That's usually a decent way to get a jump on the bottom falling out. But keep in mind too that the holidays shift people's priorities. Most people are splurging on their families and friends at the moment, not their sex lives.

thats too funny. Sad if true.

It's always easier to blame something else than poor customer service for your own lack of repeat business.

And from what I'm seeing, an ever expanding percentage of the ads in the Casual Encounters section are not for anything free.

if I see someone decent looking in the cas encounter section I know its a fake pic

Girls are complaining about one call a day? $200/call times 365 days per year = $73k per year tax free. As an escort agency owner I made $60-65k per year and had to pay taxes on it. I'd say the worst case scenario for the escort biz is a pretty decent haul. I know every girl doesn't work everyday, but still, I'm sure they make a pretty good chuck of change.

And no, I don't think CL hurts business. If anything the drama surrounding the CL Killer and the removal of the erotic services section plus the state of the economy all have a much greater impact than the casual encounters section.

Well first words out my mouth in response to the statement was "that is because you are an ole hoe, and need to give it up" (said as a joke), which nearly earned me a knock upside the head with a knock-off Ugg clog! *LOL*

This chick is always crying feast or famine every time one runs into her, which thankfully isn't often.

Miss. Dupree has the right idea, that is to keep moving and therefore stay fresh in a particular market.

Again, while there does seem to be quite allot of fine guys on CL looking to hook up with a trannie, can't see any of them really going for what is on offer in the "free" section. Then again considering how most of these hounds only want a piece wrapped in lace, don't know how particular they might be.

BellaBucci,

One phone call does not always equal one date for most girls. From what one understands it often takes several calls to pan out one date. This if of course if that call is not from a regular client.

Problem for most girls is they cannot control when those actual dates will come in, however they do have bills that must be met on time (rent, gas, electric, adverts, etc...), hence them being nervous when the phone does not ring or not ring often enough

While 73K per year seems like allot of money, that really isn't much in NYC, even if it is tax free. On top of the normal high cost of living here, trannies have all the added expenses of medical care, cosmetic work and cosmetics. To this add any extra costs of "working" such as adverts, outfits and such.

what gives? That CL is unsuitable for hook ups, let alone meeting a tranny for something more serious (that thing which my grandma used to call "long term relationship").

I did an experiment not too long ago. I posted an ad in the NYC CL section casual encounters men for ts. Stating looking for booty call, or maybe more, descibed me accuratly, had a face and body pic and all that jazz (a certain someone would say I am pst my prime, but I consider myself not that bad aged 31 and being quite fit)

I was sneaky though, bc I don't live anywhere near NYC, but I did it all for social science.

I received three answers. One was by a crossdresser (who I have no interest in meeting at all), and the other two ones were scam artists using pre-fabricated replies obviously which should lead some suckers to sign up to a "serious" dating site.

verdict: CL sucks for that kind of game. If a dude has no high standards, he might get some play with CD's though.
