General Reports

So I wouldn't use it to find a provider because it draws listing from lots of different sights and has lots of fake profiles, but I will say that sumosear. Ch is a great tool when searching a number to see if that number has a history tied to different pics and how long a particular person has been advertising with that number as well as possible older pics of the provider if they are legit. So while not a great spot to find a provider, it is an amazing tool to sort out bs fake ads or possible LEO ads.

[QUOTE=LoveSloppyLast;6331730]I know everyone has had good experiences and has had bad experiences with every site that has been used. Lets hope this discussion does not devolve into a pugilistic exercise. .

I used escortalligator when I was visiting Portland, Oregon and found a provider that hit all but two of my checkboxes, so I went for it. Remarkably, she was exactly as pictured and one hundred percent as advertised. No upsells! In fact, after concluding our closed-door session, we became friends and keep in touch with each other. I would repeat in a heartbeat.

There were less than stellar experiences with that site, too. I had to threaten one aggressive a $$hat with federal exposure (since we had not discussed anything illegal but they had) which brought that to a stop.

So, long story short, YMMV.

I see people use tna (but membership is required) on many of the Seattle area posts. My observation is that anyone on there is overpriced. Just my personal opinion..[/QUOTE]

As I'm sure you've seen, there are dozens of escort sites out there. There are some that are used more in one city than others. Places like TER, Tryst, Escort Babylon, Eros and so on. Each has pluses and minuses. I am quite fond of Skip The Games.

But when it comes right down to its in the area you are seeking companionship use. So as was stated before escort alligator is used a lot in Seattle. Most of the links the guys will post in their reviews lead there. So it stands to reason, that is where you would do your research. You will soon pick up on the good and the bad. I like to do my research for about a month before I travel. It is both informative, and very entertaining. I also follow up with the reviewers in the city I am going and message them about the providers directly. You can learn a lot in a few messages if they are willing to share. So far, almost all have shared more info.

So do your due diligence and research multiple places. Bit in the end, my advice is handle it just like a restaurant in a destination city. Go where the locals go.

Play safe!

[QUOTE=DoIt161;6331548]Hey everyone!

I was surfing around on the USA guide and reading reviews from other areas. I enjoy seeing what others are talking about throughout the country, and I like clicking the links and seeing the local providers. Anyway, I came across a link that took me to sumosearch. They have a Grand Rapids area and I was looking through it. However, it looks like many of the posts are fake. Some look real but some TGTBT with a lot of broken English.

Besides Skip the Games what other sites do you guys use? I seem to always see the same providers and I assume that I am missing out!

Thanks all![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Wheel58;6331123]I agree frustrating for sure. You can enter fake info for registering your prepay visa and then enter the same fake info for your VPN or whatever service or site you are paying for.[/QUOTE]VPNs are commonly used across society. Unlike having a 2nd phone, having one doesn't equate to suspicious behavior except maybe in the eyes of some spouses. If nothing else, it protects against data capture for online transactions which ISPs may claim but still remain inherently vulnerable to. They are also great ad and pop up blockers. Nothing untoward about that. So I'm not sure that one need necessarily hide that purchase.

I happen to have NordVPN, which is out of one of the Nordic countries, on all my tech. It is common knowledge in our house. Like having a Bitdefender family plan. They are probably in the top 2 of vpns. Apart from being European which makes any US data requests arduous anyway, they have zero-logging so no user data is stored as well. Both Russia and India tried to force data retention upon them for their own reasons. NordSec, the parent company, declined and pulled up subsidiary roots. I've seen online reviews claiming that NordVPN is expensive. BS. My 2 yr plan runs about $3/ mth for up to 6 devices. A search of the web will find deals. Black Friday is always a good purchase time too. A CC is req'd.

Perhaps a more anonymous vpn is ProtonVPN out of Switzerland. It is free and unlimited without a catch, so no CC (they even point out that last fact). Almost all free VPNs monetize their operations by collecting user data and selling it to third-parties (hmm, sounds antithetical to their function), or by bombarding you with ads. Neither occurs with Proton. It is supported instead by other paid users, odd as that may seem to us. ProtonMail and VPN pitch themselves to journalists and activists worldwide, so privacy, security and cost matters to their business model. They are also zero-logging.

As for tracking, your phone / pc data goes out to the vpn site first rather than the wifi's ISP. So while the ISP facilitates that, it just knows you're connected to the VPN server. That's all. It has no access to where you go from there. As for phone GPS, on most Androids go to Settings Location and turn it off. Probably not advisable for primary phones if you use maps, traffic info, weather info, etc. But it will stop cell tower pinging where you don't want that.

Great pointers that can help all of us in various situations. While most of us can withstand explaining purchase of a VPN, others cannot. So your advice and recommendations allow for that. And further pointers that address location services. Once again, clear and concise information. I do understand that LE did use location services to track a stalker who ultimately committed murder. However, I would certainly think none of us here see that as a viable concern for our personal future planned behavior. So, if we don't need a new hobby phone, we can solve the connectivity issue without a trip to a phone store with mumbling a password in hushed tones. I like it.

Thanks again OT.

In using the "Email Me" button on STG posts, does anyone know if it's required to create a STG login? According to the contact form that comes up, I've never seen a notification that says I need to have a login / account. It just says my email was successfully sent.

I've done this 10-12 times in 2023, "emailing" 10-12 providers using the STG contact form linked to the "Email Me" button. I've never gotten a single reply.

Yes, it's possible many of those providers just weren't interested.

But, statistically, it seems like *one* of them would've replied, by now. Even if to say, "Nah, get fucked. ".

Before I send any follow-up emails, I wanted to ask if anyone knew whether a login / account was required, to use the "Email Me" button successfully on STG. I don't necessarily want to send duplicate emails to providers who just didn't care to reply (because that's fine, if that's the case.).

Thanks for any help with this question.

We in general are just horrible at answering emails, LOL. I get bombarded with so many text messages that I can't keep up with those let alone remember to check emails. If you prefer to contact via email, perhaps just send a neutral text to her number first saying to check her email. This has worked for me in the past with certain clients. Good luck!

[QUOTE=FreeBeern;6346398]Definitely was my problem with her. When you say walk away, do you go somewhere else? My problem is I get worked up and want a release even with a messy smelly woman, unless I can go somewhere else quick. I have a time window before I need to be home from 'working out at gym' so I need quicker option. Maybe a walk in place? I make mistakes but try to learn from them.[/QUOTE]I know how you feel. You get worked up about it, excited -- and lo and behold, your little head has taken over when she's "negotiating" for giving less and asking for a lot more for what she advertised and what you expected that got you excited.

Here's how to resolve it: If it's a new girl or a 2nd visit with no solid reviews on consistency -- don't get excited about it. Your frame of mind should be that it very well may not work out. Assume it very well may not go thru. You're not going to the store to pick up some milk. You're fishing for a possibility still, just as you were texting them in the first place. Bear that in mind so your little head heeds excitement.

And, Cassidy, that makes total sense, I should've considered how much time must be spent on texts, alone. (It must take a minute just to sift through the totally-bonkers ones, ha.)

I like your suggestion about a neutral text, to give a "heads up" about an email.

Thanks again.

I know this is a random question but has anyone invited the date to your home? I have started to work from home and I have always wanted to play when I'm working. I don't get much free time to hobby so I haven't meant a lot of providers (3). I want to be safe and not get caught up that's why I've always picked Incall but since I started working at home I want to try out service.

I emailed you with some information, sometimes its best not to post things you don't want the providers to see.

It's one thing to outcall to your hotel, another to your home. Biggest potential threat is to your anonymity and safety. You open yourself up to all sorts of unintended / unexpected issues.
