I recall a time MPG was one of the top "Go to" sites for ladies & gentleman. Almost as popular as BP. I never could understand why it fell behind. The site has very attractive ads, never has nor is as limited in terms of what can & can't be said, allows videos, links to reviews, etc. Oh! And did I happen to mention it is FREE to advertise there?
Just a suggestion.
Long before this censorship, there have been lots of escort ads in Backpage's Women > Men section. Now there are so many that it will probably trigger another round of censorship there.

And when that happens, use Google to find other sites. I googled "escort Minnesota" just now and got over 13 million hits.

Looks like it's censored. Anyone else getting that. So much for having something to look at over morning coffee.
Girls will always find a place to post... I wonder what new faces we will see here 
Stay safe everyone! X O
Also, I'd expect those girls who ONLY post on BP to be texting/emailing unsolicited to their "regulars" or even people they only met once trying to see them again. Be aware of your ringer in case you can't get caught while at home, etc... sometimes these texts are bothersome! (Seen it posted here before)
