Tips for Navagating the Minefield Known as Backpage

OK, so it's no secret if you're going to do your hunting on Backpage it's normally a high risk proposition. I was thinking, what are some tips on what to look for, and not look for. Here my list to start with, anyone care to add to or comment? This might be fun

Pictures: Tineye is your friend
Pictures: If they look too good to be true, they are.
Pictures: Are they the same as 10 years ago?
Pictures: Do they ever change?
Pictures: Do they look to be a lady the age being advertised?
Pictures, cell phone self-portraits: What's in the background?
Pictures: Are they all very low resolution? Can they be enlarged?
Pictures: Are there none?
Pictures: Do they all focus on only one part of her?
Pictures: Is there always a strategically placed pillow, usually in front of her belly?

Age: <20 Danger! Avoid like the plague.
Age: <20 Danger danger! How much less than 20 are they?
Age: 20-30 Always bad experiences for me.
Age: 30-35 Medium risk in my book. Usually either a 20-something trying to be older or a 40-something trying to be younger.
Age: 36-39 Usually older ladies trying to be younger
Age: 40-45 Usually pretty honest, especially if the pictures seem to match.
Age: 46-49 Some honesty but trying to hold on. Seems like 47 is the age that some ladies never move past.
Age: 50+ Hey, if a lady is going to admit to being over 50 on Backpage why would she lie about anything else?
Age: 60+ Who wants a GILF or even a GGILF?

Price: $50 Do I even need to say more?
Price: >$300/hr Are you kidding me? This is Backpage.
Price: Only $50 BNG offered. Can you say high volume?
Price: Negotiable. Can you say upsell? Or I guess it could be desperation.
Price: We tote the note. Just kidding

Written description: Does she have a clue about grammar?
Written description: Does she have any clue?
Written description: All caps. Really?
Written description: Is there a phone number?

Frequency of ads: Does she advertise 8 times a day?

The best tip to dealing with backpage is to never forget how to download porn. backpage would be better served if they focused on the taint.

Maybe Dallas is an entirely different market, but the Fort Worth BP bodyrub ads have been nirvana for me. That's where I found Bella and Nevaeh at the Camp Bowie Pleasure Palace, that's where Kimberly advertises, that's where you can find Selena and one or two other girls in the medical district, and it's how to keep current on who's at Camp Bowie and McCart.

Apply some common sense, Google some phone numbers, search on ECCIE. I've never had a really bad experience -- just one "no" recommendation based on a lousy handjob (but at least she was reallly pretty!). I'd be a lot richer but have many fewer life-altering experiences ( )if it weren't for BP.

I really only check bp to see if I can find a know lady who is advertising a lower rate then they post here or p411. Haven't tried to see a bp girl like ever. I search the WW postings here to see if I can get a deal and help a girl get started.

If they are not interested in getting into the hobby circle - I don't bother - usually means bad service.
