I've been on break from the hobby, only to return and find the landscape has changed dramatically. Previously, there were a lot more reviews to be seen on TER, and a lot more (at least possibly legitimate) ads on BP.
I see the free/additional listings on BP have disappeared--which explains the drastically reduced volume... but I'm only seeing a handful of postings a day (that aren't obviously bots). Just wondering if providers have moved to another site, or how people are finding mid-range (~200/hr) escorts these days? My budget won't support the 300+ of Eros/P411, but I want more than Craigslist/Main St have to offer. If it helps, I'm generally looking in the Columbus market. Thanks guys! MCAre you looking at dating women for men?
Yeah, I've been looking in "dating", "women for men".
Appears I may have been operating under a false assumption. Namely, that all the ads using just a phone# for the title were scams/bots. The first few I clicked on using this format had glaring discrepancies (i.e. number in ad and pics didn't match), but after inspecting a little more closely... I'm beginning to fear this is the new format for BP personal ads.
You get: pictures, a phone number, and a broken/useless social media link.
Absolutely nothing else. Which really sucks.
The few instances I've decided to TOFTT, it always began with a well-written ad.
Evidently the new format has to do with $$. I was told that it costs more money to put the name or anything in the header. Doubly frustrating because TER will not accept a review without a name. Some of the girls are putting the name on their pictures which qualify but after being turned down by TER I had to point this out before it was accepted.
