Why use backpage???

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

To get back to the original question of why some still look at backpage. It's because to me there is more to search. Originally Posted by Allnitemarc

VP's are usually easier to research. You generally have less disappointments with VP's since they're better vetted and you know what to expect. With non-vetted BP gals it's a shot in the dark. You can go in hoping for the best but in the back of your mind you should probably be expecting the worse.

BP is good for those who want to remain completely anonymous. However, BP is trickier to navigate and comes with it's own inherent risks.

Reviews on here don't always mean what you think they will sadly. Deedee was ripping people off by snatch and grab and other things. People still see her. She had multiple reviews of her being a thief but no one believed the people writing them. One of the woman in Rochester was the same thing but a mod took down her bad reviews...... These are verified providers. Then you have the ones that call your disposable because they need money for what ever reason...... Some guys like it. Some don't. I'm one of the ones that don't. Then to get a lady yelling at you because you can't see them now because they need to get their car fixed or their roof redone.... It gets annoying. Heaven forbid i left it on one day and it rang all day with out me realizing it. If anyone was there I would have been screwed in the bad way. (Yes I know that is MY fault for leaving it on but I didn't expect my phone to blow up all day with text messages and calls)

The white knighting and people getting bad reviews taken down is out of hand on this site. I know people aren't always on their A game. Goes for both sides. But can't say you can go soly by a woman's reviews here because sadly we don't get to see them all because the bad ones gets bitched about till they are taken down.

There are some VPs who have had phases of thievery in the past but have come back from it and reestablished themselves as at least somewhat trustworthy. I don't want to call anyone out but two come to mind.

I think that most who pay attention on the boards and have been around for a while know about this. There are girls with bad reviews but if they up their game they can be overshadowed by more recent reviews which are positive.

I don't think it's a secret, you just have to know where to look. We all make mistakes, some bigger than others. Good for them for bouncing back. If it's still a current problem I think others should be aware but it seems they've changed.

I have got ripped off every time I have used BP. It's an absolute no for me.

Which doesn't say a lot for this profession but once you start stealing they might have corrected it but I don't want to be the next sap that they start doing so again. There are more then two. Some have had the bad reviews removed others haven't. I've tried to answer questions when people have them about providers I've seen but that is really my extent into contribution on this site. I feel weird doing the RoS and I don't get credit unless I make it all juicy and everything so I just don't bother.

Victoria Anna. Kayla Ryder and amber does are women I want to meet. Great reviews from everyone I've read. Sadly they aren't close and when they are I have a utr atm. Don't need to pay for it well at least with cash.....but one day if I can convince her to see another woman with me or we part ways I hope they are still around.

I probably wouldn't see a known thief either but I'm not here to throw shade on those girls and they're attractive enough/offer a good enough service that many don't seem to mind the risk.

But I'll fuck anything once...and I did. My fault for not walking away. All said and done she should have been paying ME, is what I thought. But I find it hard to be rude.

And my fault for taking her bait when she had only posted 2 pictures of herself from behind. I usually put more research into my booty calls.

Which brings me to another interesting point -- BP girls will usually post a lot of pictures of themselves. Maybe not all at once, but over the course of multiple ads over time. You get a much clearer sense of who they are and what they're offering and whether one would be attracted to them.

The girls over here... very few pictures and always simply not enough. I often feel like I'm wasting my time by clicking into someone's showcase or escort website. I mean, WTF, you want our social security #s and Driver IDs, yet you can't even give me a decent pic of yourself?

A good body isn't meaningful to my dick if I'm not also particularly attracted to your face, ya know?

Seriously? Most the pics on BP are stolen. Especially pics with clear face shots. And if the pics do happen to be real they are often dated or deceptive. Most of what they say in their ads is hyped up BS. In my experience the ads that promise the hottest time by the super hottie in the 100% real pics end up being a let down. My best experiences were from ads that said little and didn't use blatantly fake pics.

ECCIE Ladies are, for Upstate NY, covering a large area, from Buffalo to Syracuse, so the number of ladies is limiting. Most guys aren't willing to travel that far for a date. I live near the ROC and even guys here won't travel to BUF or SYR for a date. Backpage lists a lot of ladies that are more local. Reviews here are not limited to Verified Ladies, they include BP ladies as well. BP ads are also more frequently posted as opposed to weekly posts on ECCIE. By doing some research on a BP lady here, we can make a choice. Sometimes TOFTT occurs, it can go either way, but by contributing reviews, it helps others out, even the ladies.

Another resource I use is Escortads, which compiles all the pics used under a phone number. It's easy to tell how recent the pics are and who's using fakes or not. And sometimes it's easy to tell who's using fakes but is legit.

Also, a lot of times it's easy to tell who's faking pictures by the quality. If the pictures look like they've been taken with a potato and don't exist anywhere else online, then more than likely these pictures are 10000% real. IF they look like studio photoshoots, then more than likely they were ripped off from somewhere.

Thank Christ on the cross, somebody gets it.

I use BP if I feel so inclined because .... money.
Sometimes it can give incredible ROI esp in small(er) towns.
Single $1 post can turn into several hundred bucks (or more (overnights/fly-me-to-you)).
BP is just one of MANY sites I use.
A lot of "board guys" check it out BUT imo there's even more guys who don't what the hell ECCIE, TER, GBN or any of these other sites are.
ECCIE is great but I try not to get too comfortable with just 1 site.
BP has been more good to me than not ..... if it ain't broke well you know the rest of that saying.
If a guy seeking fun puts in 'xyz city + escorts' well BP is always within 1st the first page (again go back to a lot of guys don't know what any of these hobby boards are).
Also Alexa rating .... 1 of the top 500 sites in the US and generally in the top 1000 sites in the world (higher than Eros, TER, ECCIE etc)....so yeah.
