Do you use CL and BP - Ladies or Men

I used CL/BP a little in the past, but there is soooo much fake info & pics ... I don't use them anymore. IMO, the vast majority of the postings on those types of website are BS.

So now I have to agree with those that have the HELL NO attitude. It is a waste of time.
I had advertised on BP and city vibe in the beginning, before I knew there was anything better. My rates were lower, to be competitive with the other rates there. I was lucky in having my first date suggest to me that I get on ASPD. I hesitated, wasn't sure if that would be a smart thing....then looking around on ASPD, I found P411...skimming the ads before I signed up, I recognized a girl that I have rubbed elbows with in the swinger community. I emailed her and asked for advice. She gave me a few links and a suggestion on the price range. Life has been much better ever since!

It was stupid for me to advertise anywhere else, but at the time I didn't know. I'm very grateful for the ones who helped put me in a better and safer place.

This has been helpful. I am new and posting on BP Dallas I was considering CL but I think I will steer clear.

Hiya'...

I started on CL in late 05 to July 06 but haven't posted there since being given provider status on aspd. I had used BP in other cities when traveling w/ another provider who suggested it and had decent results. The first time I posted here in Austin, my phone blew up! I have some nice fellas I've met & have to say, lots of handsome mid-30's guys. Oh my!

I am utilizing BP as my call volume slowed noticeably when using only aspd, and part of it is that everyone who's going to see me has already. New flavors are always in demand, so being a new flavor on BP helped boost my biz for a while & brought in some new blood as I introduced them to our circle of boards.

My ads do include my website address which has a reviews page, links to many boards & providers I've worked with and other info to help newbies along. I still have to do some training but honestly, the seasoned providers are the best candidates to do so as we have more experience in screening via intuition & alternative methods as well as being able to answer questions to help newcomers approach other ladies w/ fewer mistakes such as asking about services and rates on the phone.

BP allows you to edit your ad ANY TIME, repost it for a nominal fee even setting it up for reposting every 3 days automatically, and gives additional bonuses and discounts from time to time. I have to say the marketing department is doing what they can to attract escort biz.

I still don't like advertising on such a public site, but if people are going to assume I'm busy all the time or that I don't fit their criteria, etc... I've got to find other resources. So far, BP has proven worthy of my efforts.

Thanks for asking...

There are exceptions to every rule. But I don't do Craig's list and rarely BP. Living in Denver, I have plenty of better resources and I'm a real fan of P411.

We have the National Stock Show going on now and every out of town (+in town) scamer has CL + BP LIT UP. A lot of cowboys that don't know their way around the Denver hobby ain't getting the GFE they hoped for.

I use both CL and BP but not as often as I use too....I like that fact the girls are usually short notice and not very expensive. Prior to scheduleing, I do try and verify the girls with review boards or P411. Over the years, I have strayed further away....I'm not as wreckless as I once was and really can't say that I've TOFTT lately. If one of the CL or BP girls is verifed then I'm more likely to pull the trigger.

hold on let us not be too quick to trash b/p and c/l providers, because most ladies on this site and p411 some time back got their starts there, i use backpage for the reason i like the hunt, and with my expert hunting skills i bag some nice ladies, as Mr SP Hunter says its all about the hunt, sometimes the hunt is almost as much fun as the kill, this is my opinion, JR

when i first moved to dallas i had to use BP a lot more often. Now i generally only see them if i can find reviews or if i get a good gut feeling. I've had some non repeat encounters but mostly have been pretty good (knock on wood)
I utilize Backpage Sponser ads with much success. My motto is to cast a wide net and narrow down the "catch" with good screening.

I don't use CL though.

I just used BP for the first time last night and it was a disaster! Bait and Switch and all the bs that comes with it, but I wont deter from ever using it again because I know thee are some fine reputable ladies on there; the error came on my end for not doing homework and letting my eyes decieve me. Lol.

I have no CL experience but I do agree with the fact that there are some nice ladies to be had on BP. I like most (providers and us hunters) started with BP because it was something that I found first. Also like most my first experience wasn't that great because of my lack of knowing what is a good thing and what is not. Lucky for me the girl was the girl on BP that I went to see but at that time I knew nothing. In fact GFE didn't even mean anything to me so I feel lucky to have had a decent experience for my first time.

I plan to see lots more BP ladies and after careful consideration I believe JR's #1 girl Angel will be the next.

Happy Hunting!

I don't use backpage much, but some of my best sessions were with CL providers. I'm always looking for new strange.

Interesting question. I regularly use BP, mostly for the body rub and even massage sections. I agree that the escort sections are way too crowded and hard to sort through. To date, over a period of years, I have had a majority of good experiences. Not all mind you, but certainly more positive than negative. I've definitely made a few 'ATFs' from BP too.

CL is a completely different ball game, so to speak, IMO. I have rarely had a really great experience there but having said that, did find one of my other ATFs for body rubs that end better than usual.

Bottom line is, I take their phone number and Google it. If it shows up on both BP and CL multiple times (long time poster) or if it hits on P411 or (formerly) ASPD then I am far more confident. And of course, I search for the reviews. Speaking of which, yesterday, seriously, I contacted a lady from BP (massage) who looked great. Took a peek here and lo and behold, someone else had already TOFTT! So, thanks to the community, I saved some time, frustration AND money!
