What is up with all these girls now just putting up numbers. Makes it a pain to actually find what you are looking for. Have they actually gotten that lazy.

Has anyone tried any of the number only hooks? I think I recognized a couple from previous ads, but not sure. Are any of them legit or just scamming.

BP has changed its forum. Girls are only allowed to post a number. It's extremely fishy.

I have read about some law changes coming that may make it easier to sue backpage type classified ad services for "trafficking." I suppose if all backpage allows to be posted is a number and some lingerie photos, it's harder to prove backpage should have known the woman in a particular ad was being trafficked. A picture and a number isn't as much info to use as evidence?

Yes backpage changed to where girls can only put a number no descriptions no headers nothing

Format change is BP's bright idea .... not any of the providers posting.
They didn't lower the posting costs tho lol smh.
They're trying to wipe away as much of the "obvious escort" vibe as possible to stay afloat.
But then why do some ads still have titles and a narrative? Whacky stuff??

They either have sponsor ads and/or never let ads they had going before the format changes expire.
So...Those ads aren't affected.

Looks totally useless now.

But hey.. a picture is still worth a thousand words (when it's real of course). Did anyone used to bother reading those useless descriptions anyway?

I pity the next super hot Asian chick who posts a legitimate ad with her own picture. Everyone will assume it's the typical Asian setup where you get some random chick between the ages of 20 and 50, not the impossibly gorgeous girl in the ad.
Back page is dead.....no need to even look at it anymore

None(most) of the guys ever any of the ad body anyway, bc they would always call and ask questions about things that the info was in the ad.. Was one of the reasons (of many) that i wasnt a fan of posting on bp..


Stay safe everyone!!!!
