Even though many - both gals and guys - deny using BP - many do.
Well some general info all should know:
1. it has gotten harder for ladies to pay for ads - so many are not posting
2. those who do post - they offer a free ad BUT it only stays up for an hour BUT it will be in their system
so if you search her name or a term she uses you may find an ad for her after all

I'm one of those who deny using BP and tend to stay away from it. However, in a couple places I visit it's one of the only venues available so I'll peruse the ads. Never contact unless I can find other corroborating info though. I'd heard about the issue of payments and how some vendors, Mastercard I believe, were refusing to do business with BP. I wasn't aware of how the ads worked so thanks for that info.

I thought about this yesterday, even thought about putting up an ad just to explain how it works now, so this is right on time!!  

It's impossible to deny BP, I'll be one to admit I'll check it out to see if there is someone running a "special" or see if there is someone that may have a verifiable profile here or on another similar site.  Like any advertisement for a product or service, you still have to check it out and verify to see if it is legitimate.

and often search by name I would also say that when I have a regular lady I am seeing I contact her whether she has an ad up or not because they will often make an exception if you are a regular and they enjoy your company. This has lead to some of my best encounters ever.
