Why use backpage???

Someone wired me 5k earlier this year to fly out to him (expenses + rate) and just trusted that I would actually show up after I had his money. I asked him what he would've done if I never showed up. He said nothing because I had too much personal info on him. Sometimes the little head wins out over the big head. Probably no one will believe this but idgaf.

To get back to the original question of why some still look at backpage. It's because to me there is more to search. There are a number of ECCIE providers I see when they are available and so are my funds but sometimes I look for something else. If I see a mature provider then a search with google is in order. Not into ones just out of puberty. Yes I've been burned back before I joined ECCIE and posted reviews but others were well worth the investment. One that I see is now a verified provider with a showcase on the forum who still uses Backpage. Why, because some of her clients do not use ECCIE and if they don't see a post they think she is unavailable. In this hobby we all take our chances verified or not.

@Allnitemarc- Im a Backpage Ho. Backpage works and at least 70% of the fellas that contact me there are on eccie or GbbgclubNY.

Let's just say it's true.

Two possibilities:

1) This is exactly the type of idiotic set of circumstances which would result in a hook getting an overinflated estimate of her value and lead to an out of control entitlement mentality, stat.
2) The poor dumb shithead who allowed this to happen to him self-extorted and is an embarassment to his gender.

WTF.

Its also not extortion. If I go there a fella needs to pay me equal or more to what I make not leaving my house. Its business choices. Im sorry you have to meet or exceed what I already make. Thats the way it goes... It costs time & money to travel, no way around it.

Would you travel for a job for half or less your current pay?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But a 2 bagger is a girl who is so ugly you need to put two bags over her face before you fuck her. The second bag is just in case the first one comes off.

I wouldn't travel for anything other than full salary plus per diem compensation to cover expenses.

Of course, although I do make a living by exchanging services for money, in what I genuinely believe is a form of stealing, the field I work in is not an inherently illegal one and in no way requires me to be a sneak or take chances.

The money is irrelevant to me, at least at the magnitude we're sitting here talking about.

My primary objection by far is sharing critical personal information and living in fear because of it.
I have found that with providers who are on ECCIE one's reviews on this site confer some credibility, such that references are often not required. By initiating contact through a PM on this site, the provider knows you are a member and can easily check your reviews/posts, etc. Originally Posted by brasil

I would really love to know if anyone actually gives hooks legitimate identifying information. Employment info especially is the kiss of death. Originally Posted by Next Best Thing

Sandra Bernhard, Patty Smith, girls like this? Outside of my tolerances.

But, if the solution is that I need to see Tori or faith again I guess I will just have to swallow my pride (and her clit !!) To update my references. LOL Originally Posted by boyscoutnomore
As far as I'm concerned, there is no time limit to my reference giving - providing I remember the guy. Just so happens, I remember you I would be honest with the lady I'm providing a reference to that it's been awhile and let her make her own decision from there. So feel free to use me as a reference if needed.


Does anyone really tell the hooks who they are and where they work? This seems like a form of suicide. Originally Posted by Next Best Thing

Yeah - those worst case scenario what if situations are a real concern, I get that. But my thoughts are if one does their homework they can eliminate some of that risk. For some it is worth it and it works for them, you don't have to agree with it.

This right here.

Yep, this thread has solidified my position.

The guy who gave BBG 5K deserves a moron award or something, on multiple accounts.

I'd have ripped the guy off on principle.

I see now that that's the "charm" about BP. It's utterly anonymous.

Nope.

Never once asked a hook for anything. Nothing.

I post the same as anyone else does.

Never once tried to do anything. These are words on a computer screen, and they represent my opinion at the time I write them.

Whether you like them or not I'm not forcing opinions any more than anyone who types their thoughts in his or her computer.

There's no need to be sensitive or even care at all. I'm not going to call you and I'm not going to pursue you in any way. You're far from my type and if I'm not your type we're dead even.

I say this with love.

Maybe not at your job but dont think others are not shifty in what ever industry you are in. They are there... you can count on like Plastic saying funnel...

I also understand the sharing of info but most verified gals do nothing with that info and its purely to make sure you are not LE or abusive, etc.

The unknown, sure, I advocate you share very little with the unknown... Ever.

Back on topic, Google any city in NY+ escort and Backpage lands on top.

The difference is that if I beat someone out of 5K under patently unethical circumstances I'm subject to scrutiny from those superior to me in organizational rank as well as governmental oversight agencies, and run the risk of being incarcerated in federal prison, as well as forfeiting the privilege to make a living in my chosen field.

What's going to happen to a hook? An accusatory review followed by endless back and forth pitting her detractors against her and her mob of pussified advocates. Resulting in computer dramatics and valuable free advertising.

Not the same thing. And yes, backpage is a valuable tool full of occasional hidden gems.

Big difference between stating an opinion and leaving it at that, and questioning, nitpicking and belittling others who disagree.

I'm sincerely thankful I'm not your type, whew
