Yes, there are plenty of ladies who travel to DC as well as a handful of local ladies. The marketplace is surprisingly robust. But the community is woefully absent on online forums - both here on ECCIE and That Other Place.
In fact, we've seen an increase in the number of ads posted in the DC forum as well as the number of applicants through DC for VP Status. So something must be working to attract so many ladies on this website.
Sadly, maintaining dialogue on the any of the local boards is like pulling teeth. Many of the ladies are "just traveling through" so they don't bother adding to the conversation. And they come-and-go so quickly, that there's no point sometimes in telling people about her.
Most local ladies lack a consistent incall location. And who can blame them with rental and hotel prices so high? Keeping up with the local talent is like watching the ticker on the stock market. Maybe ... just maybe ... you can time both of your schedules just right.
