Flags, Red, Yellow and Green - What is your criteria for them?

Flags, Red, Yellow and Green - What is your criteria for them?

The Following pubic service announcement has been brought to you by the Studly Getsmore corp. The makers of fine products such as Beaver softener, nothing worse than a tough beaver and Mind Bleach - have you ever witnessed something you wish you could "unsee"? With SG's Mindbleach we can erase those images from your brain (and lower your IQ to around "functional") in no time!

Ok.. enough of the giggles, time to get serious and this was brought up between myself and a VERY RESPECTED lady in our midst who has an impeccable reputation who about 3-4 weeks ago had someone else post an ad with her photo in it. I saw the ad, noticed the photo was not who the ad was for, so being the good Samaritan I am, emailed her with the link to the ad so that she could take action. She has now watermarked her photos etc and has posted a few ads on BP warning others about photo lifting etc.

(I know once she reads this she will know who I am and who I speak of)

Well the subject of "flags" and what sets off a red or yellow flag came about.

For me here is my list for a RED Flag:

Same phone #, but your name changes.

You cannot spell correctly or use the "leet" speak (3 instead of E, etc)

You spell out your phone number with words instead of just putting it in.

You put the digits of your phone number all over the wording of your ad.

You seem to be in a different area of town every 1-4 days.

One day you are operating solo, the next you have paired up with another lady.

Phone camera photos of POOR quality. word of advice, a basic digital camera and basic tripod from Fry's will not set you back more than 60.00
This is for a 3-5 megapixel camera and a basic tripod.
(camera is 30-40 dollars and tripod is 8-15 dollars). Even ask a client if he has a good digital camera and see if they can take some good photos for you... even offer a few bucks off a session (thats up to you)

Recent photos..... I am sure you look like those photos you took 4+ years ago

Consistency with prices. Regardless of where you post your ads, keep the prices the same. There are several ladies who regardless of where their ads are posted ALL refer back to 1 central website (theirs) for pricing for their time, etc... These ladies are WISE!

Poor hygiene, this one is a double edged sword. A guy will not want to see you again (or he might turn around when he sees poor hygiene and walk away) and I am sure if a guy showed up and he is in bad hygiene, you are less likely to want to entertain him... Yes the room has a shower but, people, shower up before you go see each other.

Upselling! if something is negotiated for a time slot, then adding to it when they arrive is bad. Talking about activities on the phone is risky true, but having 1 central website with a menu will save you alot of questions.

Longevity... Is she a new lady or has she been around? I like to give them some time to see if they are not a fly by night - trying to pay off the rent and then POOF they are gone! Also on this note, any lady putting in their ad that they only doing this to pay off her phone bill etc and wants that EXACT amount or whatever, I avoid. I understand times are tough, but why not do a few sessions for a set rate per hour, and EARN the money so you can pay it yourself?

Finally, the Pimp.... do not put an ad up and list someone else as who to contact.


The Following are my Criteria for YELLOW Flags:

Your ad appears in either 2 or all three sections: Escort, Body Rub and Massage. This makes me wonder

You ad has you listed as Body Rub or Massage but your ad has photos of you showing your breasts, or your tush.... ever been on a massage table? You are face down and face up... if face down, all you need is cute toes, skilled hands and know how to give a massage.. face up, you can wear hospital greens, its the massage that is relaxing. Unless you are trying to mislead someone into "misbehaving", don't mislead.

Pretty much anything that does not fall into the above listings I consider GREEN flags.


I would like to hear what others say from other guys as well as the ladies.

I keep it simple:

Red Flag - No reviews, or a bad "spidey sense"feeling (I have TOFTT a few times, from ladies with no reviews but that I had a good "spidey sense" feeling, and have discovered some jewels, a couple who are ATFs of many)

Yellow flag- 1-2 reviews from unknown sources or an ok "Spidey sense" feeling

Green flag - at least one good review from a reputable member. No spidey sense needed if the review is from a reputable hobbyst.

[Capt. Lincoln F. Stern]

Each to his own. I think if a few guys post what triggers their flags, as well as ladies doing the same we can all see what we all should not be doing

I thinck its cool that I can raise the Red, White and Green flag when I need more taco's, enchiladas, sopapillas or really really watered down tea.
