Okay, read 2/3 of the self help newbie posts. Great Stuff! And taking notes. Have added about 15 providers. And love the TER addon to check phone numbers off of backpage. Here's my latest question.

I'm gonna take it that while searching new posts on backpages that a lot are new providers with no reviews. YES....I plan to stay away from them. Some of them look frickin' awesome. But, I'm taking everyone's advice.

My questions is... How do I, or even the most experienced VIP know if these providers are real? I respect the VIP's who TOFTT. What's the procedure?

Oh, and I've been warned about Backpages....what are other more reliable sites to go too?
I'm not doing nothing until I read all Newbie stuff and all of you reliable VIP's comments. And thank you for them. Can't wait to write my first review......but studying first!

Thanks VIP's and providers for taking me under your wing!

to verify the pictures. Remember the saying TGTBT, do you really think a woman that looks like a  super model is going to be advertising on BP for $200 an hour. Don't worry about what site you find a provider. Worry about verifying she's real and offers a menu you'll enjoy.

If she has 3 or more good reviews with the guys all having similar comments, then I look at the guys volume of reviews.If they have seen a few ladies then I'll put her on my "bucket list".
But I think doing the 'newbie board" does offer great insight & most of the threads are accurate with explanations of logic & experience.
Imho this site is all you need ,in the beginning, look on the Ad board, follow daily pic threads.When you have found possibilities, "PM" guys that have reviewed her.The "friday shill" thread offers up more avenue's.  
Also I would caution you , while ,most agencies are legit ,don't assume anything.Understand that anyone can type anything on this site, it is a melting pot of personalities with ego's & money fueling  rumor ,deceit and lies many times.
I have been fortunate to forge many  friendships over the years , so it's not all bad lol.

Thanks guys... I have found Google Chrome's Image search tool Fantastic for finding fakes. Tons of them on dating sites and even Facebook. Turned a lot in....getting to be a vigilante about it.
And yes, been saving some on my favorites, and will check them over for at least 3-5 good reviews. Then I'll take your advice to check the reviewers past posts.
It may be a lot of research, but could save me tons in fines and things I don't need.
Again....I appreciate all VIP'ers for the help.

Of course the images look great.  Many of them are stolen from models and other people who use them legitimately on their own sites.  A photo of a steak from Peter Luger looks great, too, but you won't get that steak at Outback.

How about start with the review database here?  Get VIP and start searching that way.

And don't tell me that you are too cheap for it.  If you can pay $300 for an hour of pussy but you can't pay $30/month to access the database that will tell you who is worth seeing...then you just need to save your pennies and come back when you can play in this sandbox.

If you find a girl on backpage, or other similar "small time" advertising site - and she looks fabulous - she probably is not real. At best she is a real, available girl who does not look in real life like the stolen pix. At worst, she is a ripoff, scam artist, le setup, or whatever.

Extremely hot women do not advertise low rate dates on backpage, the exception being the occasional well-reviewed quality lady who is advertising there as a supplement to her regular marketing. These are easy to spot, obviously.

I personally have made a nice little hobby out of TOFFT on backpage, and have found plenty of very fuckable women. But I've never found one with pix that make her look like a supermodel, they are mostly pretty average looking chicks.

We all want to believe that we are going to find that hot new gem who is just getting started on BP, but you'd have better luck winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning

...it's where I now do all my shopping.

...and go ahead & pay for the VIP membership for yourself. It's definitely worth it.
