I have read on here many times that CL should be avoided at all cost, but what do you do if you find a provider with reviews here on TER but she also advertises on CL?
Should I be concerned about LE? Should I not be concerned at all? Or should I just find a different provider?
It's free advertising. Some ladies post purely for that reason and continue stringent screening practices. Check her TER reviews; how many does she have? Who wrote them? Also, look out for pics that have been stolen by a fake pretending to be a TER provider.
Good luck!
Compare the ph# on the CL ad to the contact number on the review, if they match you should have nothing to worry about. If they don't then you have a major red flag.
There are a few TER reviewed ladies in Orlando who from time to time will post an ad on CL. One of them is a frequent poster on this board and is very successful and is very highly thought of by the guys who see her in the community. She has a number of pages of consistently good reviews.
My feeling is that a girl who advertises on either CL or EROS and does not have a TER review, she is off limits to me.
If a lady is on CL or EROS and has at least five reviews from guys who have given at least five reviews, then she is one I would consider.
I believe the caution is for ladies from either CL or EROS who have no web sites or reviews. Seeing one of them is just like playing Russian Roulette.
One review is enough for me if it is a review from a trusted TER hobbyist..and it doesn't take too long to tell who the bonafide reviewers are..I don't qualify her reviews if there are ten reviews from ten different guys with 20 reviews if they aren't D.C hobbyists I trust..
Note ..When I say trust I mean trust enough to believe their review is valid..NOT trust enough to take my GF to the Park
Ladies advertise in all sorts of places. TER reviews give them credibility.
Many times those who blow the trumpet of 'avoid CL at all costs' do so because they feel that is good advice for a Newbie. And maybe there is some validity to that, but the same would hold true for any ad site. Does CL have problems, such as LE, B&S and just good ole fashioned rip-offs? Sure it does, but so does Eros. CL gets talked about more because it is a free site and probably the highest traffic escort ad site on the internet, so you have all types of providers and hobbyists there.
To answer your question, you should always be concerned about LE at all times, there is no 'safe' place. But if you find a provider with good TER reviews your chances of having a problem are very, very slim...No matter where she advertises.
If the product is well established and credible the advertising medium is simply a delivery system to a demographic.
What should matter is do they have multiple reviews (5 or more) over time by established reviewers (guys with multiple reviews as well. Once in a while you can find a lady just getting into the biz and TOFTT if the reviewer is a well-known reviewer. Personaly, I would PM as well if the review history were light. No short cuts in doing your homework.
I live in Central IL (handful of hours from Chicago).
If LE or B&S is that important to me I should bite the bullet and travel to the big city.
Down here there aren't too many reviewers and even fewer providers with reviews.
Read them, then make your decision. You might wish to PM the reviewers as well. Also, there are some providers that utilize CL in conjunction with TER and other sites as part of their marketing strategy. But, I would be careful about using CL regardless...those that use CL as their major advertising base that have TER reviews often have less than stellar ones...

In my area there are hundreds of CL advertizers... a handful of them are TER reviewed. Just because a provider states in the ad "TER reviewed" doesn't mean the review is favorable (what a joke!) or that she offers what you want. It's much more effient to START with TER.
Newbies who wish to avoid scams should avoid CL. I've not been scammed since I came to TER. If you can afford to TOFTT, wasting your time, opportunity to hobby, resources, then just remember we told you so. Just remember to review your adventure.

A TER-reviewed provider listing on CL or City Vibe doesn't make her any less legit, and doesn't make them any more reputable.

the bottom line is reviews, her website can also give her credibility. I started on cl and my average review was then and still is now 8s and 9s. So where she chooses to run an ad is not really the issue. Do the research.

I have had some great success on CL and some great failures on CL. I like providers that haven't become jaded or too professional and on CL you can find a provider that is gorgeous, a great provider and doesn't know to raise her rates because of it. Also, you sometimes get that provider that is very enthusiastic because you are not her 1000th customer.
I have also had some very bad experiences using CL. Not same as picture or much older. Not a GFE even though she lists as one but has no clue what that means. A converted street walker that has a mid body odor. Lately, I have had more success than failure. I actually met that part time wants to work a few times a month just to get some extra spending money and looking for a little extra excitement gorgeous college student that was a 10-10 from CL.
I advertiste on escorts ter aex backpage cl and many other sites as do some very well known porn star...yes I said it i've seen porn stars on bpage and cl...you have a chance of getting stung either way hun
I see that a lot of providers post at multiple sites including CL. I like CL because if they just posted then you know they are working tonight.
