i have been looking for a provider in the st louis area for a upcoming trip and noticed eros and found a provider i liked but also noticed the same girl on craigslist,and from being on here have heard bad news from cl,so just curios if this is legit??  oh and she does have reviews on here and one is from a visit in stl  thanks

If she has a number of reviews by guys who have done a number of reviews then she is probably a legitimate provider
B

but so do many less than legit, and, of course, occasionally LE.

I would not depend solely on CL to find a provider, but if she has other ads, and especially if she is well reviewed, then I think you can see her with confidence.

Here's my standard advice.

If a girl is advertising on CL and doesn't have a web presense anyplace else, it's probably a rip off, a sting, or a scam.

That said many top professionals advertise on CL as well as other places.  My partner and I advertise on there when we travel and I think we're good.  (giggle)

But my feeling is in general CL has been taken over by ghetto girls and it's on it's way out as a place to meet quality escorts.

So what separates a "pro" from a ghetto girl?

1) A paid Eros or Cityvibe ad.  (This alone doesn't mean the girl isn't a rip off - but it's one thing I've seen that's consistant with every quality girl I know.)

2) They OWN a web domain, or have a full web site.  Sometimes good girls will just have a web page somewhere - but usually its a full site.  It shows a professional interest in their business.  I've never seen a low rated girl with a web site.

3) Should be listed #1: The girl has a track record and reviews here on TER and other places.  If a girl doesn't have reviews on here, it's possible they have privacy concerns and don't participate, but more usual is they had themselves delisted for a string of bad reviews.

So have fun, play safe and do your homework!
