Hi.

So there's a provider I've seen posting on BP for quite sometime, like several months, maybe even over a year, and often posting new ads several days in a row. What's more, she's pretty good looking if you take my word for it. But curiously, no one has reviewed her yet here.  

So I was wondering, is this a sign of something suspicious? Like LE or a scam? If she were scamming I would expect to see at least a negative review, but despite being one of the most prominent posters in my city for some time, still no reviews whatsoever. I've seen numerous girls get reviews shortly after even their first post, so this just seemed kind of odd to me, and I was wondering if I should be wary of her? Maybe she has a no review policy? What else could explain a good-looking provider with so many posts over so long a time getting no reviews at all?

Not sure if it's ok in this section so I'll ask first: can I post a link to her ad here? Maybe there's a red flag I'm not seeing in it or something.

... and it mystifies me also.  Same ad, same photo, posted almost every day (sometimes more than once per day) for at least a year, perhaps longer.  I believe there was once a thread on my local board about a provider like that, but no information surfaced, and still no reviews nor reports of problems e.g. with LE.  Usually if someone is operating UTR, some hobbyist will at least post a comment to that effect.

My personal policy is, if something is inexplicable and thus I can't assess the risk, I stay clear.  There's so many well-reviewed providers to choose from, I don't see the need to seek out such a question mark.

try googling her pics if u havent already
results can lead to older ads with a different alias/contact/location in which her ter profile resides  
or it can give away if her pics r fake etc

i prefer txt speak when on internet forums i hope u dont mind

The general consensus on these boards is disdain for those so indolent or illiterate to not use rudimentary English composition. We're very tolerant if English is a second language for the author; but have little respect for millennials who write similar to a common craigslist ad.

MOST people on this forum at least will consider you lazy, rude, or just not too smart if you insist on posting in text speak, and that is the way you will be treated. I don't make the rules and this is an "unwritten" one, but nevertheless it is how things work around here,

People will still be reasonably polite to you here, but they will ridicule you as a dunce on GD if you choose to talk that way there, or most of the other boards on TER. IF you were a young hottie that everybody wanted to fuck, you MIGHT get a pass on it, but you are a guy, so "no soup for you"

IMO, text-speak makes a guy (or girl) sound like an 11-year-old.  

If someone wrote to me the way you just posted, I'd think twice before accepting the date. Yes, I am aware that some professionals, especially in engineering and computer science, are not taught writing skills, and do not regularly use those skills in their daily professional lives. I get that...with that said, though, it makes a really bad first impression...

IMO, a lack of effort put into communicating with an escort shows a lack of respect. Also, it makes me question the maturity level and intelligence of the person who's writing to me. Plus, it can indicate a timewaster...most providers I've met do not even reply to 'R u avail 2day' and the like. Goes straight to spam.

Anyway, point is: Bad writing only hurts, never helps. No matter what the context. It's just not respectful to the other people who are reading your posts/emails/whatever...

My first recommendation would be to just stick to ladies that have been reviewed. There are alot of ladies out there, and alot of guys out there writting reviews of them. Let someone else TOFTT.  

If you feel that you just have to TOFTT, call her and get a feel for her on the phone. Ask her if she has any reviews. How long she has been in the business. Ask for some special request, like if she will be nakes wearing only heels when you show up.

I would still not recommend seeing a lady with no reviews, but if you must; let us know how it goes.

Kudos for telling him to see reviewed ladies!

BUT...

If he's TOFTTing he should ask a gal if she's going to be answering the door naked??? BP gal, TOFFTing, asking an incriminating question not knowing who is on the other side of the door...

DUDE, really?

i've wondered about this myself, and see the same situation quite frequently on eros as well.  i see no reviews as a problem - when i've asked, they usually claim they are new.  which is plausible, but not after months of posting.  other times they just ignore the question.

no review is a red flag within itself, as is only posting on BP.  i'd at the minimum google the pictures, and email or text her about reviews.  she may have reviews elsewhere, i've seen that.  i'd need some other information to verify her before i'd consider TOFTT
