The death of Backpage

[Irisheyes75070]

yeah, it has its purpose. I'm not as biased as I use to be. There is a whole kaleidoscope that occurs on there from the worst kind of crap like pimps, assaults with beat-downs, trashy girls, cam-girls, fake ads

...but, the ones who are savvy enough to know what to look for, can screen properly and find some things that are not at ECCIE or P411. My screening is very rigorous due to LE, etc, and the bad situations that can occur. But, I must say, the ones who have made it through my screening process are alot more conservative than other boards. Sometimes it is hard to find a girl who is low volume, extremely conservative. I get sick of seeing and reading about girls having the back of their head blown off or "swallowing every drop and she had constant eye contact." Or, the same group week-in week-out gang banging the girls introduced on the welcome wagon. So, it serves that purpose for me. I can find them mixed in with all of the other crap too. It isn't for the novice hobby hunter though, I must say. It does take practice.

90% of my business comes from BP, and of those 90% at least half have accounts here but message me on BP.

If BP were to shut down tomorrow, I'd probably lose my apartment, my car, and everything else I currently make payments on.

So all of the ladies here that say do away with BP .....never advertised on BP? once upon a time?

Backpage needs to be shutdown and escorting made legal

I never have used bp before ... I've heard to many horror stories about it so I just stay away ... Never even typed it in my search engine ...

BP serves as a gateway into the hobby for people such as myself. I had no idea about sites like ECCIE or P411 when I started out. For the most part, I was way to eager to get laid and it led to bad experiences. However, I did get to meet and review a provider that is now verified here. So BP does serve a purpose, but it is like panning for gold: you go through a large pile of dirt to get the few specks of gold. I still look at BP maybe twice a day or so now, but I am far, far more selective, and do my research. Thanks to my hard learned lessons, I have avoided some girls on BP that I see warnings about here on ECCIE. As with everything, caveat emptor.

I'm not sure why some people believe it to be so evil. I used to be a backpage snob and would never advertise there until about four years ago. I used to think that I was too good for that venue.

I was VERY wrong. Since starting to advertise on backpage, I've met some of my best client base from there.

This topic has been bantered about a lot and I'll just wait for others to chime in, but I highly disagree with the general premise of the topic. I wouldn't like to see backpage go.

Of course, when and if it does, another venue will take its place.

I completely agree!

My fear is that the BP crowd will start to come to other boards like Eccie.

I agree that BP serves it's purpose. I would disagree about the low quality of the providers - they're like roaches, they're everywhere. Only BP requires hobbyists to TOFTT , or do extensive research to avoid a waste of time and $$.Girls can get away with more because no account with reviews, showcase, and online reputation exists - thus baiting and switching becomes irresistible. The girl changes her number,removes the ad, and or disappears.

So the pimp posted the ad after the girl escaped, you know that makes no sense. not saying it didn't happen that way, but from reading what you wrote, and that's all I have to go on, it doesn't come together. so don't be ticked off at me, maybe you need to state the events better.
Also does it make sense that a person how has been abducted at gun point ( I take it police were called at the time) would post a ad with the picture of the person they abducted with a way to contact them. I don't think anyone would kidnapped someone and place a ad with that person picture that says, for a good time call. but then again how knows.

I've been burned on BP, but i have met many more beautiful ladies than the times I've been burned.

I've met some great guys on BP too but too many people know about it which is not so good. Yes it is a classified site but there has to be some type of protocol that should be followed when allowing users to post.

Exactly.

[Danielle Reid]

I like meeting the shy guys that are still new to picking up a girl off BP. I'm shy myself and they give me a chance to open up a lot more than these hobby guys that think I'm just a shirt at the men's store

[joesmo888]

there is someone on BP that I am interested in that is in my area, she has reviews on another site. but oddly enough when i texted her i got no response. there was someone a month ago as well I texted and we talked a bit and then she stopped talking to me after I asked her for references. so it seems shady to me. I get worried that I am not actually talking to the provider and maybe LE or a pimp. i feel much better using eccie or P411 for that reason
