I see backpage.com is a sponsor here, are the postings on there accurate or are they more like cl used to be?

They even posted a few ads of well-known providers there to attract the clueless.

CL was long  the home to LE stings, Rip Offs, Bait & Switch, Crack Whores, the dentally challenged, and other desirables.  Back Pages is giving CL a run for it's money in this low life market.

Top girls almost NEVER use either venue. AVOID!

Yep, when I first started the hobby I preferred outcall to my place. I quickly learned to skip agencies. About one in four visitors (agency or not) were good calls worth repeating. Now backpages has the same people. I stick with TER and BestGFE. Just joined date-check and that looks pretty good too.

turned out to be a 20 minute, $600 lesson in upselling. Chalked it up to part of my education. Some guys seem to have good luck there, but I choose not to go back. I'm doing fine right here, and with Date-Check and Preferred411.
