These days it could be the LE on BP.  No thanks.

Smart hobbyists & upscale guys don't go there.

TER, New York board, has always been home base.  My initial foray into the hobby was with a touring provider from Florida who I hit it off with the first time, courtesy of this board, and she is a dear friend to this day.  When the time came, she invited me to attend an M&G that was hosted by Mikki and Hyabby, and it's been all uphill from there.  BTW, I remember knocking on the door nervously that first time, and a lady taller than me me than me answered, and allowed me to enter.  Her name was Octavia...      

As far as BP, CL, xxxx, the xxxx, etc. go , I lurk there from time time to time, but usually do not pursue.  As I said, this is home base....

A plethora of reliable providers that work hard at maintaining their reputations at all different price points.
Ughhhhh!!!
Play at your own risk!

The $200 per hour bodyrub price point is filled with decent girls on BP, but you still have to do your due diligence and vet them out by searching their numbers here on TER or crosschecking them on other boards like xxxx, xxxx, or xxxx.

I've had very good luck on Backpage for bodyrubs.  However, for escorts, I stick to TER.  The boards here are a great place to find visitors so you can establish a network when you're traveling (as I do), and just searching the reviews with different criteria has also yielded good results.

I look at a lot of the different sites.  BP, Eros, Citivibe, etc.  If I see someone interesting, in my price range, then I look for reviews.  No reviews, and I move on.

My big issue is that I am not usually able to plan in advance.  Often, I don't know if I'll have free time until it's right on me.  Of all the different sites, BP is usually the best for finding someone who can see someone on short notice.

Yes, there are a ton of girls there who are B&S or have some other issue.  As long as you search for reviews and do your research, you can weed out the trouble and BP becomes more useful.

TER is SOMETIMES difficult with fake or old pics, but with bp it's ridiculous with the amount of fake pics. If you see a hot pic on bp, then i believe you have a 99% chance of that chic being a dog.

When it comes to impulse hobbying, BP is extremely useful. I also think it gets a bad rap. There are plenty of providers who advertise on Eros and BP, for example, not to mention TER. And (hint) sometimes their advertised rates are lower on BP. It pays to shop around.

Which is another reason why you should simply Google her phone number and see whether she's been reviewed by reputable reviewers. It takes about 20 seconds.

What he said.

Agreed.  Some people here are so fuckin lazy...

....  like any other .... if you're too lazy to do your hw then whatever happens in the end is your fault.... you get back what you put in.

I live near Allentown, PA and when I'm home and can't get to NY or NJ I sometimes look for girls on backpage and have met a couple when I'm unable to get to NY or NJ.  I guess you'd say for the price its worth TOFTT and one of them I've even seen a few times and would do so again.

One of my BFF's is a BP provider with no reviews and no website...  I do not offer doubles with her !  Because we are FRIENDS ONLY, and plus, I run a tighter, more professional ship than she does.  My clients appreciate me having a more professional/polished atmosphere.  Her atmosphere is extremely casual.   I have learned from her, that there is no "right" way to do this.  I think screening and keeping things more professional/polished is right.  She thinks anonymity and "keepin' it real" is the best way.  She and I are both equally busy, as far as business goes, but she is more high volume than I am.  Most BP ONLY providers have to be higher volume than a TER REVIEWED provider, I think.   Anyway, this friend of mine does use real photos, but they are a little old and low resolution.  She does give a legit service, though.  I can't speak for all of the BP providers, but that friend of mine is that way.

I've gained some great clients and have tried providing a good respectable service.

I do reference most of my clients through TER, personally I rather meet guys who review and are in the loop bc they understand the screening process and are willing to make me feel comfortable before a session.

Are there any other sites girls post on?

I did. Of everyone who called I only saw 2 gents. One of them still sees me...that was 3 years ago. I had no reviews (i only have one now), scanty web presence, funky website, but he took the time to talk to me and I took the time to answer his questions.

When fishing in these waters it helps to talk to the girl and gauge the situation. Many guys want it NOW, forgoing any logic or forethought.
