Problem is places like Tucson have nothing but backpage... When I lived in Seattle; there was other options.

I just can't bear reading their reviews!

In Greek seafaring mythology, sirens of the sea would lure sailors to wreck upon shoals.   In more modern times, horny sailors long at sea have mistaken walruses or manatees at a distance for beautiful mermaids.  Every time I peruse BackPage, I feel the same way.  If I risk setting up a meeting with these beautifully pictured sirens, the probability is very high that the door will open to a walrus, and I’ll probably come away smelling like fish!

i occasionally peruse BP for amusement. but i always seal my ears as Odysseus did his crew's so that i cannot hear the siren call.

on rare occasion one can find a well reviewed TER lady advertising on BP, but even then that simply indicates that there may be something wrong in the market.

so in the end, i never book, and read BP ads only to see how the market is going.

It's a big ocean out there..

Look at it as a snorkling adventure..

Some things are pretty to look at from afar and other things are priceless
adventures that make you want to dive in alittle deeper..

I will from time to time post on BP.
Some of my best clients are From BP.
Attorney's, Bankers, etc..

SCREEN, SCREEN and DO IT AGAIN.
THEN listen to your instincts...........

I am curious to know how providers decide how to go about entering the profession? I am not aware of many Escort Schools? The ladies have to build up a clientele and a good reputation. I live around Tampa and hobby here. There is Cityvibe, escorts.com, Eros, ect., and Backpage. I am very selective and cautious, but I honestly have found some gems! Real fucking hotties! Please, a few gals, a few stories of how to enter escorting!

i would guess that in Tucson BP might have more of a positive mix in quality of ad. in my location, that's not the case.

The short story:
I was a recently divorced trophy wife with a degree in Healthcare.. Working two jobs and a single mom of 2 kids. One had a Serious heart problem. I was struggling and exhausted and he needed care.. Laying at wake at night.. asking how do I make it? How am I ever gonna do this?

Here I am.. I quit 1 job, started school and spent that year taking care of my child........
My child is mostly better and I am still in school and I have been able to be the mom I needed to be
and YES! better myself by continuing my education and learning about what it means to be a REAL WOMAN!

Good topic but it deserves it's own thread. Why hijack this one in a reply to a reply? It will either get buried here and not get the discussion you want or it will take this thread in a total different direction. Not that this is a great thread, lol, but I think your topic is better and should be its own thread.

Sorry guys! What can I say?!? I was mislead and thought BP was a good place to advertise! A lot of chicks are on there in my area and I was trying to find my place to start. So I advertise(d) on there. I'm not a sea urchin or mermaid? Ok, maybe after the holiday indulges I was somewhat resembling a manatee, BUT, I don't rob people and I'm not a fake! I genuinely want to help people, one orgasm at a time. So, after many years of being a jumpoff/ convenient NSA chick, I have found my spot in the world where I am comfortable and can supplement my income. I spend A LOT of time everyday reading and checking out whatever I can about the hobby on here and from other girls' websites/ reviews because I want to do well and do this for many years. It's all as a means to an end, and my story has some similarities to Mistress Jessica's. So, please don't judge if you come across my ad! I have found a few clients off there, but I think my current knowledge and efforts on BP has bit me in the butt because I am scaring those guys off that want a quickie because I am not that type of chick. This is my last month on there, I do advertise on other sites, but BP is definitely NOT were it's at. So, feel free to give me my lashings, I'm ready for them, and I might kinda enjoy it! Seriously, I'm getting my game tighter and plan on doing better in the future. Thanks to TER for all the insight.

Hi Jessica,

I agree with perfectstorm this should have its own thread...
You are just replying to one who started another topic....
I live no where were you are located (I'm up in New England), but before this thread gets re-started elesewhere and that you may not be a part of it, I have to say...
I'm quite moved by your Short Story and the need to care for your child.
God Bless, Kid.  If I lived in the Carolinas, I'd book with you just because of your coming forward to talk from the heart, and how you seem to be an awesome person deep inside.
You take care, and best wishes for much home and work success in 2012.

Mine was a BP 'beauty' at the Red Roof Inn.  Probably a trafficked sex slave who was told to aim the laptop camera at us for observation by her pimp/boss.  Memories I will cherish for a lifetime.  I never went with a (exclusively) BP girl again after that.  Thank god for P411 and rs2k.

or stupid.  Backpage serves a purpose,  ter serves a purpose.  I us them both but still like the new girls.

The same goes with Eros, Cityvibe-  Eros have lot of beautiful Sirens also, and all fake pictures also just like BP, so it is best to do your research first, and see if she has reviews.  It does not matter where the beautiful Sirens come from, if the pictures look too good to be true, don't go with the other heads.  Same clients that looks at Eros and also look at BP..  I know a provider friend that find her top client on BP... and yes he is rich and he is giving her 5 to 10,000 a month right now.  So if we have an open mind, and do our research, and we will never be disappointed at the door.  I know a lot of guys that like new girls, and new girls, and new girls.  So if you like new girls and you are cruising on BP and you don't do your home work, you will get a hit and run...  I got alot of respectful, regular client on BP...We provider that advertised on BP and well reviewed... we have to differientiate ourselves and we also have to do our screenings also to get rid of all the time wasters and to go with the upscale clients that could afford our prices.

So Beautiful Sirens are everywhere and you do not know who is going to show up at your door if you don't do your research and it does not matter where you see the ads.

We find lot of rich clients on BP too..., because you guys look everywhere there will be advertising..Same guys that look at ERos, look at BP too..

that's my 2 cents..
