Ladies and Fellas, I hope you are all well tonight. I've read a lot here that BP can not always be trusted. I have found reviews of a few ladies here and, yes, as a newbie I took a few chances I probably should not have taken. But, that being the case, I was wondering if anyone can reccomend a few better sites to go to?

that the girl using whatever place to advertise, has reviews -

Thank you Ma'am.

Try LiveEscortReviews.  It links the BackPage review to the TER reviews. You can filter out the BackPage ads that have no TER reviews or that have posted fake pictures.  It makes TER a lot more useful.

These are the ones I use.

Ok, I'm undereducated -- why would BP be especially useful if you "don't need a BBBJ"?

P411, TER reviews.
P411 is part of screening and would help the provider

Despite the fact it is pretty much the wild west, some reputable providers do advertise there. Particularly those from out of town where in some locales, BP is much more accepted as a somewhat reputable source.  

Based on what I've read here over the past 1.5 years, BP to me is not worth the risk. There may be reputable providers on BP, but if they don't also advertise or have a presence on TER and P411, I won't be seeing them.

Costs $12 each time to post on BP. Everyone says they stay away from BP but everyone does look. Once you put anything about yourself on the internet you can be found. BP is just another place where you can see who is actually active. It does go both ways that you need exercise due diligence, always, no matter what site they come from, client or companion.
