The ad reviewers are outsourced though.
You can no longer advertise as a pregnant provider anymore either, I fail to understand how that is illegal. Seems illegal to discriminate like that.
I mean some people love and have a pregnant lady fetish, can't find them if they cannot advertise.
It seems as though we get at least one or two posts a day where someone wants to bitch about something or gets bent out of shape over someone else's post. How about if we just save all that shit up and unload just once a week and condense them into one thread. I will go first.
My pet peeve this week are those provider ads that show just photos of themselves upside down. I suppose its considered artistic when among an array of other poses but I really don't want to do a hand stand or tip my computer monitor upside down to see what you look like.
I will PM you with the reason if you really want to know! LOL. I have poses like this but I usually will post a upright view also.
Personally, I do not like the bitchy posts and think those who feel the need should save it. Whatever happened to constructive criticism. Of course, I believe you all should keep posting about NCNS and things like that but just the posts to bitch for the sake of bitching do very little good here.
PS....I didn't think YOUR post was all that bitchy.
I can't wait to hear. Go ahead and PM me but why not let everyone in on the secret?
I will PM anyone who wants to know the reason. 12 reads and hate mail already received! wtf. and from people i would not expect it of.
geesus!

Unless you are speaking of the photos that look like they are balancing on their heads.
I am simply amazed that so many providers still have music on their sites.
Another thing. Some of those stupid "wix" and flash sites are slower then shit. If you have to be stealthy while surfing and close the window quickly, those stupid sites stay up for 5 to 10 seconds.
Ditto!
I 100% agree with you about music & flash websites being annoying and its the reason I haven't built one.
need to say another thing when building a website if you want to use one.
To please check to make sure its compatible with ALL types of browsers.
No one does this. EVER . At my other job I'm constantly doing this for my customers and its why so many choose us first is because with more consumers using smartphones to access the web its a good idea otherwise they wont be able to see the product or service you're offering.

Oh yeah esp sites where you hear the music but you can find the source to cut it off. I think I really hope a guy isn't looking at xyz's site as work or at home with the wife around lol. I can live without flash sites also without a reg/html alternative.

This is why I try to use different poses in ads.
My pet peeve is the ads that always seem to cover up the stomach area. Pic after pic but the tummy is always hidden.
For pics my pet peeve besides dickpics is when someone sends me one of themselves from 10yrs ago when they were studs to "reassure me "
& they come over to visit me and they're this big ol' hot mess of dickydo & balding mullet.
Don't think some of us ladies know how you feel.
Its not like I'm gonna or can turn you away for that reason either.

My pet peeve today in Boston is the rain.
Pet peeve as a provider:
-hotels with their "charge for incidentals". Why charge me extra for nothing? Why charge me inconsistently. If I ask for it to be waived immediately, am I a bad person?
Ads that don't clearly state the rate and that (sometimes) are in the wrong section. Don't make me ask about your rate; I want to know before I call. And don't advertise in the escorts section unless your rate is for FS.
Backpage removes the rate this is why websites is needed.
I somehow missed that they had started removing all rates. But as you say they can put up their own websites and there are other places to advertise.
Sure wish BP would move their servers out of the U.S. so they could tell the State AG's to take a hike.
The ad reviewers are outsourced though.

I mean some people love and have a pregnant lady fetish, can't find them if they cannot advertise.
With the exception of a few legally protected categories, they are free to discriminate about what ads they accept. However, if they start losing business they may reconsider.
We can't post anything nude we can't tell you how much .
Oh they remove rates even if you specify its for an hour.
I'm just going to post a pic of me in a burqa holding a sign with a clear menu list lol!
Thanks for this thread. My pet peeve: Negative comments from others when someone/anyone posts a thread on TER. That's why I just stay off TER. . .![]()
I see lots of BP ads with the rate posted.
On escorts they DO remove rates and website links.

Its on the title and doesn't say a service
you need to realize the filter is outsourced so they usually don't edit that unless the word head, naughty or some other frigging euphemism is used .
But they do edit outside links, rates and certain words within the body of the advertisement.
Every once in awhile they'll let a nipple slip by but they do catch it eventually.
I know many providers like it when clients plan ahead so I often try to do so when I can.
One provider in particular I am going on 4 times now where I've talked to her a day or two ahead of time--she's assured me she will be available--and then on the day I am in her area she doesn't answer her phone and won't call me back when I leave a message--or two.
Younger gal, I believe semi-UTR and low volume--but still?
How hard is it to call a guy up and explain why things have changed (assuming they have)?
Yes, it is irritating but with a lot of girls they don't plan ahead of time. If you want to see her, don't bother calling until the day you want to see her, hope for the best, and have a backup plan available.
Did you send an email that looks like this? :
"Are you available at x time for x day? "
If so, of course most of us say yes we get tons of those requests a day.
But that doesn't mean its a solid appointment.
Perhaps saying you want x day at x time + your name etc info would work better?
How far in advance do you call?
Is it when you're in her area as in you could be there in 20-30 minutes maybe less time ?
I for one need an hour& 1/2 notice no matter who it is because I dont sit at my incall all day long waiting for calls
Idk if she does it that way but I wont call back if I don't have anything open for them.
Just trying to help.

Thanks for the advice!
In this case, she does not use e-mail contact, only phone.
- I call one or two days ahead of time.
- Ask if she will be available and can I call when I get to town to set up an appointment--or, will she be available, and can you work in an (pick a time) appointment;
- She says yes, love to, give me a call--or yes love to, call me a few hours before so I know you made it to town, etc.
- When you get to town, she doesn't answer the phone and won't return a message. I typically will call a few times and leave at least one message reminding her we talked earlier and I am in town.
One of the four times I was hoping to see her she did call me back many hours later (might have even been the next day, can't recall for certain). All the other times--despite the early contact and my leaving a message--she hasn't called back.
I'm pretty easy going and very receptive to concerns or issues that come up. And I do understand this gal isn't full time--but I guess it would be nice to get some more feedback as to what is going on.
Next time I'll try not calling until the day I am there.
Oh-- I am all over the "have a backup" plan. That's always wise. It's just in this case, that isn't a real viable option most of the time. Used to be (and a VERY viable one at that) but unfortunately she moved to the big city.
