[QUOTE=Memdal5]This is one of the things that make me the angriest about the entire business. I wish there was some way to discover whether girls posting here are stealing photos from other markets for bait and switch. If anyone has any clues or hints on how to tell, I am sure a lot of us would appreciate them. I have tried in the past to find the photos in other cities if they “feel” fake, but only once have I actually found them (a girl posting as Ava here this past fall). The photo question really keeps me, and I am sure others, from making some calls we would like to make. Right now, there are two listings on BP in Memphis that I am interested in, but will likely not call because I just have the feeling they are fake. They are a girl posting as Felicia with a 305 area code [url]http://memphis.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/_3061_9803_sexy_9803_felicia_9803_ready_9803_2_9803_play_9803_3061_22/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=1393773[/url] and Stacy, the blond girl in red [url]http://memphis.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/_9829_i_m_p_l_y_9829_9829_t_u_n_n_i_n_g_9829_blonde_21/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=1382893[/url] If anyone has any experience with either of them, please let me know.

Now, I know the best thing for me and others to do is to stay with what we know. That is the wise choice, but every now and then the thing that makes this hobby so much fun is the variety we have to select from.

As for those bait and switch girls. It of course does no good to ask if the photos are real. What girl is going to say yes? I have never personally experienced an ad featuring a 5’7” blond spinner and found a brunette BBW at the door, or visa versa. Usually the fake photos are a fair representation of the kind of girl who will come to the door. It is more a matter of scale. A 9 photo will usually have a 6 to 8 girl at the door. At least once an 8 photo I saw actually had a 10 provider waiting. And, I have walked away on several occasions when girl and photo did not match. I have also stayed for a dream, accepting that for the donation the girl would have still generated a call with their real photo. Shame on me. However, in most cases (which is why I am cured of this weakness and now will not stay for a switch); the service provided was not good. I find girls who do not post their own photos are also more likely to be clock watchers, up-sellers and less than true GFE. A girl who won’t poster her own photos (even if the face is blurred) generally has all kinds of other faults.

The best providers know that regular hobbyists respect their profession and expect professional behavior (as they should expect from us). Part of that respect is knowing that a real professional provider will be the same girl on the internet as they are in the flesh.[/QUOTE]
Here is an ad for the blonde with the 305# posting here in Memphis & in D.C. & this might give you some nsight.

I always wondered if the false pics/name changes were just to catch out-of-towners who didn't know better. It is different overseas... almost nobody uses real pictures, but an 8 always equals an 8, a 7 a 7 exc.

[QUOTE=BootyCall]You fellows remember Lisa with red hair worked in Midtown , National and some off highland and park. You would see her pushing baby in stroller last few years. Pick her up and take the baby home then off to motel. She passed away last week with pneumonia. I think she was in her 30's I think. Over the years I dated her quite often. Maybe some of you guys remember her.

Sorry to hear that BC. I've seen her out with the baby stroller a couple of times but never stopped. Dated her a couple of years ago when she strolled the Nat area. RIP

Thanks Snoop. That is exactly what I am talking about, and confirms my suspicion about this posting. The photos in this posting in DC were also being posted in Memphis that exact same time. Different name and number. How did you happen to see the DC posting? Just chance? Searching different cities? Or is there some magic clue somewhere?

Yes, I remember seeing her but never partook. It's a real shame about her.

From what I see when I click the DC link, the date was on Jan 12. Not the same date she showed up here. Is she bait & switch? I don't know but be more careful when you look at the details. What separates good times from trouble is in the details sometimes.

They have two different names and two different numbers, but the same pictures.

Great point Iceman. The last post there with those photos was 1/12 and first post here was 1/13. Sometimes girls post before they get to a city just to get the appointments started, so that timing is not unusual. What gets me is why use a different name and phone number from city to city. All that does is lead to confusion and an inability for us to check out any reviews or information that can ease our comfort levels.

I saw Leo using an undercover black brand new Chevy SUV on Brooks. He had a guy pulled over . The suv is black all over with very dark tinted windows. Tag number on SUV was TN 660 SVM. Later saw him up on Airways pulling into police station.

Folks, I did not envision that this day would ever come, but a confluence of factors have led me to the decision to hang up my codpiece and exit the stage. Without getting sappy, I just feel that staying in the hobby is incompatible with with the way I want to live my life going forward.

I will stop in from time to time as I attempt to wean myself away from and conquer my urges, and maybe offer some sage advice or caustic commentary. I may backslide a time or two, although that is not my intention. I expect it will be kind of like quitting smoking, which I did manage to do successfully several decades ago, so I will apply the same principles. But going cold turkey after over 3 decades of "the life" will present it's own unique set of challenges. It will not be easy for me to establish "normal" relationships with "regular" women, but I am going to try like hell to do so. I am already out there and have had a few bites, so the hurdles might not be as high as I originally feared they might be. But only time will tell. I guess I will simply have to lie when questions about my "past" come up, I cannot imagine anyone even wanting to hear the truth let alone being comfortable with it. I hate to do that, but I do not see any other viable alternative.

This is about as close to spilling my guts as I am going to get, so just wish me luck. Be safe, stay healthy and stay out of trouble.

P.S. You have no idea how hard it was to write this letter or one like it until you sit down to do so.

Thanks. Yes, it was reasoned out rationally as a consequence of a lot of soul searching and was not the result of something horrible having happened to me.

As hard as it was to write, sending it came damn close to bringing me to tears because I knew there was no going back without seeming to be a hypocrite. And that was the easy part, following through will be the hard part. I hope I have the guts to do it.

I struggle with this too. It might go over OK if you only saw a couple providers say in you're youth maybe in the military or something like that, but how do you tell someone you used saw providers as a hobby. I'm thinking complete honesty would not go over very well. This is a tough situation. If it will work maybe the best thing is to explain that you have done some things in the past that you are not proud of and that you would rather not go into detail about it. If this works then you have avoided lying to her.

Anyway good luck-wish you success.
