I'm not a fan of BP, but how does everyone else like them. If you could do one thing to make BP better what would it be?

Verify

Somehow verify if the provider being advertised is legit. Likely would mean lower volume of ads but higher quality IMHO

One thing to make BP better....

eliminate it. While it's useful for some hobbyists and providers, there are other alternatives and the downsides of BP far outweigh any benefits: it's a vehicle for exploitation of minors, for pimps, for bad providers, and for LE.

Send it away.

BP

I have been on there for some years. I like it
I have met some great friends on there..

it has its ups and downs. but worth advertising on there for providers.

Re: BP

Karley, I'm glad BP is working out for you, and hopefully for other providers as well.

I have used BP to meet a few wonderful providers. But it is a jungle compared with some other sites like Eros and P411. Granted they have their scammers as well. But using BP requires a lot of work to weed through the fake photos and bogus listings. As you mention, the usual cautions of checking for well-reviewed providers is particularly true using BP. There are definitely some gems like you to be found on BP, but it takes a little extra diligence and work to find them although it can be worth it.

Re: some are bad

There's no question that there are good providers on BP and that in this respect it's a useful service. My points were simply that (a) there are other places for good providers to generate business (as others have pointed out) and that (b) the downsides of BP are many, and some of those downsides are pretty serious. So, on balance, I'd like to see the good providers go to TER, to P411, to Eros, and get rid of BP.

I don't mind it.

Would be nice if they could verify ladies and stop censoring so much . Can hardly put anything in an ad without it getting cut off.

A lot of gals seem to use escortsite.com which says it provides free websites. Any ladies care to comment on how that's worked for them?

Re: some are bad

Bear in mind, that many clients are not "in" the scene much. So for those clients, eliminating BP would make it much more expensive habit. It would not make sense for those clients to pay for those services when the hobby is far between sessions. I understand that a lot of providers on BP are not legit, many are. Eliminating that site would make it much more difficult for those ladies as it is a cost factor as well.
