Just a little head's up . . . there are some close ladies that many of us know, but some of us care for them and their safety.  You're new here, so settle down, take a trip to a city, and start there.

There may be an occasional gem on BP, but mostly it isn't worth a crap shot.

Once you're paid your visits with some of the finer ladies, then you will find more doors open, and opportunities abound.  Most times the best surprises take time.

I would say to use Backpage very carefully, checking each one you're interested in against TER reviews.  If the girl doesn't have a TER page, move on.  If she does have a TER page, you can get some idea of what she's like.  If she has more than a few reviews with decent scores, you're probably safe.  LE uses BP for stings, and there is a lot of bait and switch, crack hoes and other stuff on BP, so always cross check TER.

Better to get friendly with the search engine on TER.

Re: Say "no" to BP

If one were to go on BP, you would just have to be a lot safer in the girl you choose. Just means taking some time out to do a little homework on her. Not all girls on BP are bad! Just my opinion

Only that you do your research. Using BP exposes you to many scams making research that much more important.

Long odds on a last minute booty call as to being happy with how it turns out. Got lucky once like that but knew her from here so we kind of knew each other. As for the other time I can honestly say it was the worst most awkward experience of my life. So do you're research and communicate before ya meet!!!

And trust me! If I ever travel your area I will make sure you are the first I call!

May take a trip to Raleigh this afternoon to meet up with someone special.
