I'm on this site for two reasons: one is obvious, the second is for pure entertainment.  I just read this review by Astralglide and was thoroughly entertained.  Plus a good warning about BP.

The guy MUST do something in the literary world...

What is it about backpage that entices so many?  

Personally we can provide the same thing. We'll hand you a revolver, place one bullet in the cylinder, spin the cylinder and close it quickly. At which point we'll hand you back the revolver and you get to pull the trigger twice.

Duh tantamount to the same-thing conceptually speaking. I understand for many it's about price, I get it, in life you work with what you have.

However, come on guys it doesn't take a rocket scientist to walk away when some troll from a has been Disney movie opens the door!  

Oh look, she doesn't match the photos,  in a murder/ mystery / horror / novel / movie we call that foreshadowing and it never ends well. At this point you might as well be the dude   in the cabin, at night, in the woods, after two other characters have been brutally murdered who says " I'll be right back" and goes off on his own.  The only thing worse is being "The Black guy" and wearing a Red shirt after beaming down to a planet with Captain Kirk.  If you're a well loved celebrity you'll last a whole minute instead of seconds.

Had he done what I suggested, then he wouldn't be curled up whispering to his imaginary friends needing meds to make it through the night.

Then again we also wouldn't have had an entertaining review to read and I wouldn't have anything to write about ......

Never mind, forget all of what I just wrote.

END OF MESSAGE

I was seriously laughing at his review. What a great wa to start my day.  
way too funny

When you get some experience under your belt, you think you have acquired some mystical/magical powers (only Austin Powers has that kind of powers BTW..but more on that some other time) that you can spot a diamond in the rough, and you can't go wrong.. You ignore the pics being too good to be true, coupled with no reviews and no donation info...

Yeah sure every John wants to discover that diamond in the rough, just like every pitcher wants to throw a no-hitter, but that kind of girls come on BP few and far between....

A case could be made that she could at least write decent English...

Thanks for sharing this review. I laughed hard but also had flashbacks to a few of my bad hobby experiences before I wised up.

This is real life.. Of all she could have been an undercover cop, or some pyscho.  

The point is that the risk he took seeing someone like that w/o reviews, fake pics and no donation info, outweighs the benefits he could have gotten, even if the benefit is just the pure thrill of seeing someone who is unreviewed.  

Hence, your comparison of this scenario to a game show, is very unfair one... If someone does want to take risk, I would suggest finding a reputable agency like yours or Lee's, and seeing someone who just started working and has not been seen before... Perhaps less thrilling, but at least you will not go to jail or get mugged by some pimp waiting for you in the bathroom...  

But as they say..."To each is own...." But please don't compare this risk with that of a game show..

Steve was just being tongue in cheek.  

He's been in this game a long time and I know him well enough to know there was no disrespect intended.

...there is definitely a thrill-seeking aspect to the hobby for many of us (providers included), even more so when using BP.  To clarify, by "thrill-seeking" I mean, for me at least, the thrill of doing something risky (in terms of LE) without getting caught.  So in light of my review, I was in a sense satisfied by my experience.  But setting this aside,  I agree with several commenters in this thread that using BP is perhaps not good rational idea if one wants simply a pleasurable experience with a provider.  Keep in mind too that sheer horniness, price and convenience are also major factors that steer a hobbyist like me towards or away from the most rational choice for a pleasurable session.   Further, there is also a deal-seeking side which I have not addressed.   This isn't really my bag, but I know some hobbyists who enjoy negotiating a deal as much as the actual session.  

Anyway, thanks for the kind words fun4aday.  I'd like to see more hobbyists make lemonade out of their lemons!

This is a very deep, layered subject.   But, essentially, I agree with everything said in this thread.  The viewpoint makes for the comment.

Astralglide - I've tenderly ventured into BP one time and it was Kali - whom I reviewed here.  You really DO have a way with words and you are clearly no BP rube to be chastised by others.  Thanks for experimenting; I enjoyed your experience.  I'm not so brave or articulate

Some guys can't afford more than $60-$100 for an appointment. That is why sites like BP are so popular. This part of the internet hobby will never go away. What you call cheap is to others bargain hunting. With some common sense and some advance work you can raise the chance that the BP experience will be good.

Once in a while for me the BP experience is not that good. That is why I will write the review regular-less if the session is good or not.  

Also this type of hobbying allows one to see more ladies. The ones are good I give repeat business too.  

Now in terms of economics I have been with the highly reviewed providers and spent $3000 in a month. With the Bp providers and sometimes reviewed I spend about $900/month.

Also I can call up a BP at the last minute. I don't have to schedule days or weeks in advance.  If I get a no-call/no-show/bad session I can salvage the trip by seeing a BP lady close by. A few weeks ago that happened (bad session), I was able to see another provider at the same hotel. The session turned out out good and I ended up seeing her again yesterday.

One thing I have found out is that many of these BP ladies are very happy to get that $100 for half hour session. They go out of there way to give you that experience that you won't forget. Another BP lady I saw 5 times last month. I originally saw her last summer, seen her for a total of 11 times. What I like about her in addition to the good service she is always ready when I get to the incall. She never tells me to wait or has never done a no call/no show on me. Other ladies both highly received and BP ladies sometimes have given me problems with being no call/no shows.  

Now I will admit there are some races of ladies that I would not see on BP if I did not see reviews or new the lady as an acquittance of another provider that I have seen in the past. It is just way to risky imho.

I certainly enjoyed several years of seeing the $300 GFE types, but in the long run it just became not worth it to me. In part you are paying her for her acting abilities along with DFK and BBBJ. However, I have found ATFs via Backpage whom I can see them 4-5 times a month for a a total of $500-600.. DFK usually ends up on the menu with repeat visits.

You must be seeing her for 1/2 hour appointments.  

For me its not price so much as short notice...and spontaneity...

You get an urge at 10:30 am, you can likely fill it by 1 or so....trying that with Eros or TER doesnt always result in success...
