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
