The death of Backpage

yeah, it has its purpose. I'm not as biased as I use to be. There is a whole kaleidoscope that occurs on there from the worst kind of crap like pimps, assaults with beat-downs, trashy girls, cam-girls, fake ads

...but, the ones who are savvy enough to know what to look for, can screen properly and find some things that are not at ECCIE or P411. My screening is very rigorous due to LE, etc, and the bad situations that can occur. But, I must say, the ones who have made it through my screening process are alot more conservative than other boards. Sometimes it is hard to find a girl who is low volume, extremely conservative. I get sick of seeing and reading about girls having the back of their head blown off or "swallowing every drop and she had constant eye contact." Or, the same group week-in week-out gang banging the girls introduced on the welcome wagon. So, it serves that purpose for me. I can find them mixed in with all of the other crap too. It isn't for the novice hobby hunter though, I must say. It does take practice.

90% of my business comes from BP, and of those 90% at least half have accounts here but message me on BP.

If BP were to shut down tomorrow, I'd probably lose my apartment, my car, and everything else I currently make payments on.

So all of the ladies here that say do away with BP .....never advertised on BP? once upon a time?

Backpage needs to be shutdown and escorting made legal

I never have used bp before ... I've heard to many horror stories about it so I just stay away ... Never even typed it in my search engine ...

BP serves as a gateway into the hobby for people such as myself. I had no idea about sites like ECCIE or P411 when I started out. For the most part, I was way to eager to get laid and it led to bad experiences. However, I did get to meet and review a provider that is now verified here. So BP does serve a purpose, but it is like panning for gold: you go through a large pile of dirt to get the few specks of gold. I still look at BP maybe twice a day or so now, but I am far, far more selective, and do my research. Thanks to my hard learned lessons, I have avoided some girls on BP that I see warnings about here on ECCIE. As with everything, caveat emptor.

Backpage is an advertising medium. I've met some great men off of backpage and in some parts of the country, it's really the only place that you can advertise.

I'm not sure why some people believe it to be so evil. I used to be a backpage snob and would never advertise there until about four years ago. I used to think that I was too good for that venue.

I was VERY wrong. Since starting to advertise on backpage, I've met some of my best client base from there.

This topic has been bantered about a lot and I'll just wait for others to chime in, but I highly disagree with the general premise of the topic. I wouldn't like to see backpage go.

Of course, when and if it does, another venue will take its place. Originally Posted by ElisabethWhispers

Actually, BP serves its purpose.

Keep the low quality in one place. If guys are looking for a cheap bang for the buck, it's there.

For the others who value quality, they'll just stay away.

My fear is that the BP crowd will start to come to other boards like Eccie. Originally Posted by MrGoodBar

Only BP requires hobbyists to TOFTT , or do extensive research to avoid a waste of time and $$.Girls can get away with more because no account with reviews, showcase, and online reputation exists - thus baiting and switching becomes irresistible. The girl changes her number,removes the ad, and or disappears.

How about the girl escaped prior to the posting of the ad, and the police were made aware of the ad. Sorry I am so stupid that I don't think like you. You just tick me off. Try knowing what you are talking about before you open your mouth. . Originally Posted by FlectiNonFrangi

Also does it make sense that a person how has been abducted at gun point ( I take it police were called at the time) would post a ad with the picture of the person they abducted with a way to contact them. I don't think anyone would kidnapped someone and place a ad with that person picture that says, for a good time call. but then again how knows.

I've been burned on BP, but i have met many more beautiful ladies than the times I've been burned.

Are very well reviewed..BACKPAGE is where the money is. BUT!! Ya better know le in area. that said. Shit girl they are here too! THEY DRAG OUR RATES DOWN..NOT (ours we dont veer) but our city's rates...I for one cannot stand the trash that came into nola after the storm .. 350 went to 300 went to 250 and now these people are just junkies OR disgusting.. that being said ..they have so many reverse stings in nola right now that i dont mind waiting out THIS new storm.. Shit. It aint going nowhere.. XXOO ANNIE

A lot of providers don't prefer to see "true hobbyist" and the bullshit that it in itself can bring. Some ladies prefer to see "regular guys" who are not caught up in a conquer quest of sorts. Originally Posted by BBW Katrina

there is someone on BP that I am interested in that is in my area, she has reviews on another site. but oddly enough when i texted her i got no response. there was someone a month ago as well I texted and we talked a bit and then she stopped talking to me after I asked her for references. so it seems shady to me. I get worried that I am not actually talking to the provider and maybe LE or a pimp. i feel much better using eccie or P411 for that reason
