I wouldn't touch the girls on backpage. I was at work a few weeks ago, and a co-worker came up to me, and asked if I heard about the bust of a brothel a few minutes away? I looked it up on the net, and one of  the girls was someone I went to high school with. She advertised on backpage. I guess the neighbors noticed all the guys coming and going. This was in the most affluent part of town. She was good looking in high school, but the drugs took care of that..
