Doing my research today, I found myself in a deep-guffaw, belly laugh. Now, I suppose that the provider I'm referencing is attractive to some and that a few clients will think that a $$$/hr rate is reasonable. However, with the claims made in the bp ad and the research that I did to try to verify that this was a legitimate, worthwhile experience, I found myself chuckling more than I have in quite some time.

Here's the ad:

and the TER reviews:

To find these, I simply put the advertised phone number into the advanced search field under provider's contact information-->provider's phone number. Sometimes, you have just see what comes up when you put the number(s) into a search engine.

If you use Firefox, a useful tool to search for images is:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/google-similar-images/ If the link doesn't work, try taking the "s" off the end of the https.

Using this add-on by right-clicking on an image and choosing Search Image on Google, shows that frequent flyer miles (or a well-tuned, reliable vehicle) are in use on a daily basis. Here today. Gone tomorrow.

Few reviews, overall, for a person claiming to be "saner, safer and reviewed". Maybe I'm just skeptical but to me, it's all about the research. Putting up that number of benjamins should yield a fairly high-end result. Keep researching and you'll find amazing experiences at $$.5/fh

her TER ID yet you researched only the phone number and found the two reviews where she had done doubles with another provider.

Instead, searching on her ID gives you a much better result with more frequent reviews:

The rates of which you made mention may also reflect her niche menu options.  On top of that it's also possible that she's in an area where there are none like her -- low supply & high demand drives prices upward.

Given this is a Newbie Board feel free to illustrate how to search, but would refrain from issuing opinions on the value of someone's work rates.  As it is, any newbie who sees this provider after viewing your post will have to overcome his fear of being considered a fool for chasing a desire.  That's passive aggressive on your part; hopefully unintentional

Indeed it is my opinion, which I stated in the OP, that some would consider the rate reasonable.  

No, I didn't mean to place anything other than my own value based on my research.  

My search by phone found both her single and doubles reviews. Those searches sometimes vary. My results, also, indicated that she is all over the map, geographically, moving every couple of days and covering a huge portion of the country.  

One can evaluate advertisements for himself, only. My point was to indicate to newbies that a search of phone number and/or pictures can give a lot more information. An enticing ad can end up providing a great deal of information if one searches, all the clues provided.  

Sorry if I offended anyone. Your points are well taken

Looking at BP for that location you see about 10 ads/day, not exactly many options up there and she is likely providing something no one else is up there.

You might have noticed that she's been around for years. She used to post on the GD board, and, if you care to read her posts (since you are so keen on research), you will discover that she IS well-educated and quite intelligent, too. She was a well-known and successful escort in NYC (also toured major cities). Not exactly small potatoes.

For the kind of experience she provides, $300 is actually about the average going rate...it would even be considered LOW in some places.

I never met the girl in question, but worked in the same market and exchanged references with her a few times. I always heard nice things about her.  

Why call a girl out based upon her rates? And her 'frequent flier miles'? Why call a girl out for ANYTHING? Why, on earth, bring a lady up just to LAUGH at her? Really, really crude and disrespectful.

Since you could have just looked up her TER profile number which she clearly stated in her ad. You would hsve found out she actually has 20 pages of reviews.

^^^^^^ and to do that on the friendly newbie board yet.

"it's all about the research." ...as if you have a clue what you are talking about.  

Tattooed Asian Kim is known by anyone who has been on TER for any length of time. She tours heavily and travel to many cities that are not commonly tour destinations.  

And for chrissakes, man, she gave you her TER ID right at top of the ad. /facepalm

As far as rates go, in case you didn't know, providers are a bit different than shopping for a flat screen at Walmart.  Providers charge what they feel they are worth. You don't like it? Move along. Kim happens to offer a wider range of experiences with specialty services than many providers don't. It not uncommon for there to be a bit of a premium for such providers.

But regardless of any of that, to come on a discussion board, single out a provider and ridicule her because in your mind her looks, services, reviews & pricing don't mesh is beyond amateur. Frankly it's just being a jackass

END OF MESSAGE

I have no problem with anybody being called out for dangerous behavior but thankfully that sort of thing is rare here, but it does happen.

But what was this girls offence? It boggles the mind.

I actually think this could be some kind of vendetta situation because you are right VooDoo, i see no reason to take a shot at this girl. And as ps points out, to do it on THIS board is beyond ridiculous.

This thread should come down, imo.
