Of course, I just don't reach for the phone and call.  I google the ph#, use google/images and/or tineye, check for reviews here and other review sites. If my search results come up positive I have no problem contacting a BP advertiser. Diwata's reply was right on the money. BTW, I was curious after I read your post, so I went on San Diego BP, it took a few minutes, but there were other well reviewed providers on there as well. Bottom line, it's not where you find a provider, here or any other escort mall for that matter, it's what you do after you locate someone you'd like to see.  

For the ladies, anyone in business would want to have the most exposure and advertise in as many places as possible.

For the Gents, TER is not the entire world. Ever look at the OC board? Seems there is a huge void between LA and SD. Literally!. What there are no ladies in OC? Well the reason is there are other avenues to advertise besides TER.

One of the biggest Flaws in TER's reviews is the inability to search in the "details" field. If you are looking for something in particular you have to read review after review, On BP you just search for a word.

LA is way bigger & I travel up their weekly.  BP stinks unless you have a daddy & need to make a quota.

I stopped with the garbage to many lames.

The risk vs reward with BP never made sense to me when you have TER. TER is the best.

i have a couple friends who post there but for me personally i can't get through the titles and im scared about verification on there! But my friends that do post on there are 100% legit and real!!!

I would have to dispute the notion that 99.99% of all BackPage girls are  trouble. I've met a few ladies via the B.P.: Swedish Jessica, Freya Fantasia, Dixie, Sara of P.B. & Annalise just to name a few. If I see a gal that I like, I'll use the TER and a few other sites to cross-reference her track record. Yes, there are some bad apples out there but I wouldn't throw away the whole cart because of it. It all boils down to doing your homework. It seems like a bit of work but it always pays off. Just saying........

Thank you!  Research is key.  

I advertise on backpage as well because I'm secure in my screening process so its not a problem when gents call...

I do get jokers on the phone every once in awhile but I think that there are a few strange people on all websites lol.

If I was a hobbiest I would definitely feel safer calling someone from TER, but there are some people that don't know about this website and feel like BP is their only option.... Thats why I advertise there, and I've gotten some very sweet guys from BP that just didn't know any better and were new to the wide world of the hobby

When I get some from BP who are new, I introduce them to this website and they thank me for it!!!

If more girls from TER would advertise on backpage then the world would be a better place for those guys lol...
