How do you search for escorts on Facebook? I just saw an article that said upscale escorts rely on Facebook more and more.

If it's the same load of BS that I've seen quoted before the entire premise is baseless.  There is no research of any significance that revolves around middle class or upscale escorts.  Anything you read in a magazine or newspaper or watch on television is sensationalized BS trumped up by editors and producers trying to generate ratings.  Take it all with a grain of salt.

If an "upscale provider" is willing to put herself out there as you are suggesting...

How discreet is she...and I would wonder then why she is considering herself "upscale".

This is an ILLEGAL activity.  Or did that little bit of fact get in the way of your thought process?

IMO.

But some people obviosuly have other opinions.

There are lots of girls there who may or may not be real providers, but most of the contacts I've had are from younger guys that I've had to block because they may not be of age, fans who just want to chat, and hairy fat men with thick black mushdashes who want to know when i be touring in there middle eastern country.  

It has proved a great place for screening.

in a very public manner that can and is easily traced back to your ads and webiste?

Thanks for the heads up

With some of the screening we do, it will pull up a gents face book page - if he's got a facebook page it makes screening him very easy since we can see how long he's had it, what types of things he posts about, who he is friends with and so forth - it lets us know if he is underage, is affliated with law enforcement, and a bunch of other things.

When I pull up a guy's facebook page when I am screening, I will look it over but I wont post anything and I wont "friend him"  - its for screening purposes only.  I am sure he doesnt want his business out there any more than I would want mine there.

Find my Facebook page.  Of course isn't the private me. That person doesn't even have a Facebook page, i get more than enough socializing when I am working.  I'd rather be gardening, lounging on the beach, fishing, and watching movies when I am not working which is why I moved to the Panama City area.  Lots of that here and some really nice people outside of the business.  

I've actually almost made more posts on TER in the last few months than i did in all the years since i became a member in 2008.  The reason for that was I was really welcomed to the Florida board by DD, several providers, and hobbyists.  There is a stark difference between the Florida board and the Atlanta board that i used to watch.  Florida is a very friendly board and i enjoy post much more because of these new friend.  That is the primary reason that i supported DD and opposed him being replaced.  He was easy going and i really enjoyed reading his posts.  I hope he comes back to participate.

I used to have LE attempt to schedule dates with me all the time, anyone whose been in this business anytime at all does.  They tend to go after lower hanging fruit now because I do not accept dates with that I can't confirm who they are and what the do in my screening process.  Any provider who has worked and survived in Atlanta is very likely to be just good at it as i am.  For safety's sake we should all be screening hard.  Ter is a great resource for you guys to start at, google is another, facebook, and also the date check sites such as p411 and Datecheck.  If you screen someone and they have no history then that should really be a red flag.  Trust your gut and never be greedy.  It will serve you well.

I am tired and have a cold so I am going to call it a evening . .  .

Nite all

Facebook perhaps you don't realize just how easy it is to get all of your personal info.  Hopefully you and amytai have tried to be as cautious in setting up your "provider" personas...but I doubt that highly.  It is just too easy to do a cross reference using YOUR own keywords, phrases and pictures to find out who you really are.

And if that is how loosy goosy you want to run your affairs...so be it.  But now that you've publicly outed yourselves I suspect a few fellas will make sure that you are off of their to see lists as discretion is pretty important to many of us here.

Just ask one of your friends to run a test and see if indeed they can find all of your personal info out.  I am afraid you will be very disappointed in just how the internet and all of it's search engines actually works.

Good luck in staying, as amytai said...."low hanging fruit"!  I will predict that your LE pals will be paying you more visits.

Especially the porn stars who command thousand plus an hour for their 'time'.

Most of them have a fan page and usually hundreds if not thousands fans.  

The upscale escorts they are referring to are most likely porn stars or budding super-models.

Most have twitter and other social network profiles too.

Not all escorts care as much about privacy as we do when popularity or money (or both) is their primary interest.

I'm guessing they don't blur their faces either

I gathered the OP was suggesting more along the lines of escorts that aren't porn stars.  But you make a valid point on those gals having no issues as it is tough to blur out those faces on all the videos.

I have unfortunately found too many gals that I know on Facebook.  Along with their names are the pics of their friends, families, kids and dogs.  Along with the other "provider" gals that have friended them.  And they were MOST definitely NOT advertising themselves.

I don't think these ladies have a clue what is out there, and might indeed be mortified to find this out.  And one of these days some fella will indeed wisen them up.  Hopefull he isn't carrying silver bracelets for her.

fellow providers hear and UNDERSTAND you loud and clear.

I fear that they may hear you...not so sure that enough of them understand you

And if Johnny is using his REAL Facebook account to "screen" himself...he should get what he deserves as well for being naive.  This is an illegal activity...and too many forget that.

Play smart and play safe.

And if we're going to play cowboy...I would like you to wear an Indian Princess outfit.

It's a fun game that I play with a few ladies, and I'll bet you would look great as a little Indian Princess.

If you want more details just PM me and I'll give you the backstory

And I have tools to inhibit your laughing.  As well as ways to prolong that laughing.  Your choice...well not really!  But you won't be in a position to protest all that much.

Yep...it is all fun...as long as we trust each other.  Absolutely agree with that

and they obviously don't care. There are many well-reviewed TER providers with full profiles on FB. I have no idea why they do it but then, it's not my business.

Did you really just say "Mushdash?"

I would never think of publicly posting Actual screening processes publicly.  Google is no ones secret.  The services that I mentioned in my previous comment actually advertise themselves.  I have their banners listed on my enterance page and ypu advertise them on your links page as do most of us do (by the way, you have a very nice website).  

No offence taken.
