has BP turned into CL with a lot of fakes

BP stills all has some of the highest client traffic than most other ad sites out there..  
Ive gotten some great clients off of BP ,, its all about being diligent with the screening ..  

It certainly is Cat. & despite the few "putzers" the tour was amazing! Missed some of my ATF's who were out of town & tending to medical needs (get well soon babe) but met some new friends that were spectacular! If it weren't for BP we would not have crossed paths. So yes indeed there is a benefit to the site.

The only time I ever use backpage (now) is when I'm on tour. Speaking of which. I've just completed my Duluth tour & overall it's been awesome & more prosperous than I anticipated. Thank you boyz! You rock.  
 
 However, I had the typical one liner emails void of the required screening info. (posted on my ad) I had one gent wanting my 30 minute rate (not offered anywhere) then whine my rates are too high. (face palm & a chuckle) & last but not least...  
 
 A gent calls in the afternoon requesting a 1hr appt this evening. Call him after 8:30 (per his request) he upgrades to 2hrs if I am willing to deduct $50. No big deal. He'll be here in 40 minutes. 1.5 hrs later, nothing. Call him, voice mail. Call 30 minutes later, he answers & hangs up on me when I ask what happened. Some people's children.  
 
So.... Is BP another CL? Ya, shur, ya betcha! The gents that did play like a grown up are members of TER, P411, Datecheck & another review site that happened to see my BP ad.  
 
There ARE those diamonds in the rough so I wouldn't dismiss BP by any means. I just adopt a mind set when I advertise there to expect the worst & appreciate the best. Makes for a much calmer, more patient, happy me.

Didn't see any nits worth picking in your first post...some people......

He was in Duluth for work.
