Maine BP: The Demon Pit??

Trying to diversify and try something new...

But honestly what is wrong with the men on backpage in Maine?
I'm giving it a one day trial and then I'll decide if it's worth the traffic. But honestly some of these guys...

They are so rude and awful! Is this a thing? I've never used BP before....

Can anyone else weigh in on this?

I can't speak for Maine bp specifically, but bp is a rough place. You never know what you're getting with the guys or the gals. No login required, so any schmuck can get in there. Unfortunately eccie doesn't seem to be used much up here. More p411 maybe? Good luck though!

Dear lawd, I just went and looked at your showcase! You are wicked gorgeous. I wish you were closer to Saco.

It's been going downhill here since the escorts sections got shut down all over.....the weird format changes didn't help things either. Maybe it's making some people screwier than usual.
There's still some good guys that use it but the headache doesn't outweigh the gems on there in some areas.

The Maine culture is odd. I moved to Maine 12 years ago, and I have not entirely figured out how these people think.

In 2010 down in Kennebunk a Zumba dance instructor was busted servicing customers in her dance studio. She had rigged hidden video cameras to film all of her clients.

The local media acted like it was the biggest crime they had seen in a century. Other police detectives were brought in from surrounding townships and state resources were brought in. From the circus the media put on, you would have thought they were talking about a serial killing cannibal.

The 'investigation' dragged on for 2 years, every week there was some new break in the investigation. The media frenzy seemed to fuel the police investigation. The talking heads were insistent that she was the leader of a prostitution ring, but they were never able to find any mention of any other females.

Every customer that she had was tracked down and brought all of them into court. Over 100 customers were charged, only those who pleaded guilty were convicted. All of them had their names and faces published for public ridicule.

When it was all over, they charged her last, with a misdemeanor violation and awarded her with 10-months in jail. The town spent over $200k on the investigation to stop this misdemeanor 'crime'.

I worked as a cop before I retired. This would have been nothing but a $100 fine anywhere else and would have generated no more than a single newspaper article. But in Maine they allowed the media to run completely out of control with it. The local culture here is mystifying.

I've shut off the phone I used with Backpage and got a new one! I regret ever trying that scene. p411 and eccie is absolutely perfect and generates plenty of clients~

About the Zumba lady. It sucks that the town did that but I'm sure it would have gone a lot differently if she wasn't secretly recording people. !! So scary. I was always told you have to be pure of heart and have your own honor when you walk the left hand path. Or bad things happen! I'm from Maine, like really rural but I started the hobby in New Orleans and LA. It's strange seeing the world I've known my whole life from a very new perspective!
