My experience with back page is that a good amount are of the bait and switch variety and primarily "women of color" who are not upfront about it, it is a shame but because the state of things are what they are they have to do what they do to get clients to the door.
It's like the I hate to use this term, so I will call describe it this way, "The day after thanksgiving sale" circulars will have several items at incredible savings, but when you get there they are sold out even when they just open the doors.
What makes me laugh is that us as clients really don't care that they are a mixture of Polish/Italian, Irish/French, Greek/Russian, they actually have no clue and seem ashamed of their God given racial makeup, whether it be Caucasian , African, Asian, Arab, Aboriginal etc.
And it seems that there are especially when a client voices objection they are made to be the "bad guy", another case in point is a casual encounter posting on craigslist, I answered the " Posting" and asked a few questions, Height,weight,race,measurements and what was on the menu along with what is expected on my end,and her reply was as follows,actual cut and paste;
I'm black something wrong with that

Well honestly there was, she represented herself as white and the post has since been deleted, but you can't market yourself as one thing when you are another, like I am partial to the Mercedes brand, so I wont buy an Infiniti,lexus or Acura
and that is what is wrong with hobbying nowadays, and I can understand there is economic desperation out there but geez,where does it end ?
