BP require a social media

Post in the app? Many are fake fb sites but some are the real girl, Twitter, fb, Instagram, etc

Yeah, I noticed a few days ago when I tried to edit my Backpage ad. They now require a social media account to post an ad in the dating section.

No problem, it only took me about 2 minutes to whip one up. It's pretty much a blank profile except for two pictures and my handle. What's really annoying is that now all the Backpage guys are sending me friend requests.

You can set your privacy settings where only friends of friends can send you a friend request, which will stop the random BP dude from sending requests.

You can make a new one. but what i did an what most girls are doing is just putting up a fake link! they don't check it at all!
But some are real cause some already have it up!
I didn't want all the bp people just adding my snap chat either! lol but like ginger did its easy to make your own! Facebook or anything! I also think this is incredibly annoying to deal with though!

I use my porn Twitter handle. Works pretty well because then guys see my videos and get curious. I never knew it was a requirement

That is good to Danielle! An yeah they make you put a social media account. If you don't you can't post !
That is only if your posting a new ad or try to edit your already up ads!

Oh that makes sense. I always had my twitter link attached so I guess I never noticed. Thanks for the heads up

I saw the the links and thought how lame for BP to force it.

Your welcome! An yes it is very inconvenient.
I dont get why they started that!
