I don't even like RealP4u, but I agree with him here. Why would anyone care? Why have you taken it upon yourself to be the backpage police?

I wish I had that kind of time on my hands.

And I can't see why one has to make an evaluation of the poster.
I could give some understanding if there was a flame war going on or something of real importance was being discussed.

I also think it is over the top to refer to an alias as a coward, especially when we are ALL using an alias. If I told you that my drivers license says Apollo on it would you believe me?  

The OP has nothing to gain or lose by using an alias or a real fake name. It is just a choice that was made and one of the perks that comes with VIP status.

Does not belong in body rubs! Lets get it done. It's easy.

Yes, there are times to question the motivations of one posting under alias which is what I conveyed above.
The problem is that some people are anti alias for the sake of being anti alias or because they can't identify the "real" fake name. The content of the post means less to them then the use of an alias.

I can think of a few people who have posted things with their real fake names and it came back to bite them in the ass.

And this promises nothing, suggests almost nothing:

so agree

Flag this stupid original post.  

What do you care if the woman advertises?  If you don't like her or her ad, then don't go visit her.  Her ad is no better or worse than many others.  

And, how are you going to flag her ad? You going to write to BackPage and tell them that this girl doesn't give handjobs, so she should be banned from BP?

And, finally, why should anyone pay attention to your post when you use an alias?  For all anyone knows you are just her competition, or someone with an ax to grind.  If you want to throw your weight around, do it with your normal alias.

No one said anything about getting her banned from BP. There is a section for "Therapeutic Massage" which is where this type of ad belongs. IMO

See mikes post. That is the whole point. She does not belong in the body rub section. That is all or are you too dense to know there is a difference between what "body rub" and "theraputic" implys?

I do know the difference. And, I am not so dense as to not know how to spell "therapeutic" or "implies".  But, again, what difference does it make to you who advertises any services on Backpage.  And, apparently, there are a few men who don't know the difference. If you search my earlier posts, you will see that I also questioned why so many men on this site would 411 women posting in the therapuetic.  

And, as my friend Rose suggests, "are you the backpage police?".  And, if so, apparently you are undercover, as you are still using your alias.  Too afraid to come out in the open?  

hook, line and sinker.

Its more than that Apollo.  When a poster uses an alias to bash someone we have no way of considering his past history of posting, to put the bashing into context.   Is the alias a white knight who only shills for certain providers?  Is he a constant basher, who bashes lots of providers?  Maybe he/she is even a provider herself.  Does he have a history of reviews that we can read?  Does he have a history of reasonable posts that make sense, or is he just one of those off the wall blurters who just spouts off nonsense?

I am not saying he/she is any of the above, but that is why it is hard to give much merit to a poster too cowardly to use his real screen name.  And, in this post what has he to lose by using his normal screen name?  Obviously, he is not afraid of offending the woman in question.  

Maybe the guy will man/woman up and tell us who he/she is.  If not, than I suspect there is a funny smell coming from his posts.  

Particularly when the alias is criticizing someone.  Too many times aliases appear apparently for the sole reason to take a shot at someone.

Exactly!  If she ls paying for the ads its not up to you to decide where they advertise.
Just like we can't tell you who or who not to see.

I think the series of posts about body rubs expectations vs. therapeutic massage comes into play here.

To make a long story short....if we diss a provider or discuss a provider that advertises in both places web searches hit TER comments.  

So if a provider is purely therapeutic, we can hurt their rep by commenting over here.

Personally I don't like to see posts in body rubs that offer no true erotic content.

Today I had a massage from an "amber" who has ads that even require you to click on the "over 18" bar.  She sold me an expensive nude rub; but skipped the fun parts.  

But it seems I can't diss her, since the ads run in both sections.

You guys can not have it both ways.

I emailed her a couple of weeks ago with that exact point.  Her response was that she is very honest in her ad and that if "body rub" girls can advertise in the Therapeutic section, she can advertise in the body rub section.  Makes no sense to me, but that was her response.

Then she is the worst - just being a cocktease to get business. But, then you never know maybe money talks. Personally, I think we are giving these massage only bitches way too much attention here. Proabably what they are hoping for - free publicity.

OK, my new philosophy is that we should make every effort to share information on the body rub providers that, for the most part, provide both lame massag yet hint at much more.  I especially don't apprecaite it when they upcharge for wearing less clothes but offer pretty much nothing erotic.

Lisa (the one under discussion here) is certainly in the mix, though I was not offered any upcharged services.  Somebody else mentioned lingerie but I can't confirm that.   I thinks Lisa walks a difficult path;  her full name (which I suspect is real) is easily found on massage anywhere.  

"Diana Prince" and "Kaylee" the nude yoga massage lady (former partners) also belong in the list.  However, "Diana" seems to have backed off on her Body Rubs ads and sticks to Therapeutic under another name.  Kaylee seems to be sticking to Therapeutic also under another name.

I also have a beef with those ladies that primarily advertise on therapeutic but run ads that certainly insinuate that  more is "coming".  In addition, they are known for upcharging for topless etc.  yet delivering nada.  I'd nominate Katy and Amber in this category.  Amber runs ads in the equivalent of Body Rubs in other outlets and maintains a web presence on adult only sites so she qualifies for additional beefing.  

Drea's (as in Katy's partner) recent ads in the lingerie are not quite right either, but I don't think she plays the upcharge game.  But expect a DIY situation at most.

Oh yeah, I know if you do a search on me you don't find much.   Doesn't mean my opinions are not based on some research.

In other words she is just doing it to get more business without delivering the type of services her choices of advertising suggests.  That makes her a scammer in my book.

Flagging PAID ads does nothing and is pointless they aren't violating TOU.
I'm not the backpage police or an expert but
Boycotting and alerting people does have an effect
so they either get more comfortable or leave altogether and do something else.
only if its absolutely false advertising like the above example though.
Because being on that side myself
I noticed a slight increase in skeptical visitors coinciding with the increase of "tease " providers.
Makes it difficult to decode them of their intentions upon first meeting because some guys don't mind that type of massage gal some do.
But to bash a lady if someone went to them and over stepped their boundaries
or made them uncomfortable so the appointment was declined
or they got spooked so didn't take a chance, that's a big difference .

Regardless they're providing a service and the prices should reflect that.
I mean you can get attractive in tandem HE massage ladies for under $$ rather than a super hot non HE single for $$$.
I know I'm not wrong.

That's what I think; flagging them on BP will not accomplish anything.  Best thing we can do is try to spread the word on here about their B&S tactics when we see these ads.
