BP's Natural Progression a la Craigslist
The nature of BP is changing. In order to understand the shift in BP, you need to look at the progression of the industry. The internet has significantly affected the quality of escorts by allowing a lower class of escort to reach a greater number of people through inexpensive advertising and providing escorts with a means to completely reinvent themselves.
In the past, to find escorts one would either have to go to a stroll, a strip club, a casino, a bar / club frequented by escorts, or to an ADVERTISEMENT (I. E. Newspaper). Although all are working girls, some working girls are of better quality than others: Some escorts will only escort at a casino or club, but will never go to the strip, whereas others will never advertise but will escort out of a strip club.
The quality of the women on the stroll, strip club, casino, bar / club, have not changed. However, the type and nature of women that sell themselves via Advertisements have changed, since the advent of self-posting internet sites, I. E. BP.
In the past. The only advertising was via newspaper / periodicals. It took planning and forethought for to advertise in a newspaper. A proof had to be prepared and submitted before hand, and because of the investment in the newspaper ad, escorts that traveled tended to stay in one place longer (remember, I'm talking about those that advertised via newspaper). Moreover, there was no Voice Over IP (VOIP) , so effort was needed to change a telephone number and cellular phones were a luxury item for the very wealthy / businessman. As such, escorts had land lines and those that advertised were either affiliated with different agencies, long term local escorts, or escorts that intended to stay a sufficient period of time to make the print ad work. As such, transients did not usually engage in the advertisement mode of finding dates, and they stuck to in-person methods (strolls, clubs, casinos, etc.).
Now. The Internet allows ANYONE to post an advertisement, with no forethought, planning, or investment in the locale. This means that the street walker, strip club working girl, down on her luck bar fly, casino escort, and traditionally print advertisement escort, all are bundled up in the same place. However, there is a fundamental difference between a street walker and a casino working girl, both in service, work ethic, and quality (usually). Moreover, VOIP, disposable phones, G-Voice, etc, make it easy for an escort to move location to location, change numbers, and completely shed ANY trace of her previous self, particularly if she uses fake pictures. This allows escorts to have not investment in their craft or the community that they service because their reputation will NEVER follow them.
Backpage's Problem – BP has no filter. When BP was first getting started w / escorts, most of the lower end escorts were using Craigslist. There were no double and triple posts by the same provider during the same day, etc. (at least none that I observed when BP first became somewhat popular for escorts). Quality escorts were on BP, and they chose not to post on Craigslist, due to the same reason why many escorts are no longer posting on BP now – because there is no filter to exclude lower quality / fly-by-night escorts. BP is now a hodgepodge of sex workers from all walks / genre of whoredom and all levels of quality. In essence, the same thing that is BP's biggest benefit, is its biggest detriment: The fact that anyone can post (you can find something new and fresh, I. E, the opportunistic / first time working girl new to escorting that just decided to post because she was down on her luck; and the used up escort that can no longer get dates in person because she is too unappealing).
Just my two cents.

BP will start seeing heat
Whats going to start to happen to BP is what happened to Craigslist, there will probably be some incident where some monger is going to f-up a chick or kill her and the media, with its salacious apetite is going to pick up the story and run with it. And as usual and miraculously once prostitution comes into the spotlight it suddenly turns into "human trafficking","sex slavey", and "child prostitution" all loaded terms that gets soccer moms and "soccer dads" to become activists. Then BP execs will start to see some investigative / ambush journalism coming their way, where the reporter shows up unannounced as they are leaving home / gym and start asking crap like" Do you think its right, for children to be trafficked in sex slavery rings?" Its like voter I. D where they try to fix a problem that is minimal in occurrence by making the rest of us have to endure unreasonable restrictions.
Don't get me wrong I am not suggesting that child prostitution, sex slavery or human trafficking are insignificant, and I am sure the majority of us on here if we knew a particular provider was any of these categories would not see her. Its just that in my guestimation and thats all it is a guess, I suspect the percentage of girls that fall in these categories is well into the low single digits. By a much larger percentage the girls on BP are chicks down on their luck who don't have a support system or refuse to fall back on it and need to survive and get paid more than the minimum wage which most would have to settle for if they went out into the job market. But the hypocrisy that sends me crazy about our past time is that so many of these legislators who won't legalise prostitution or make sites like BP an over-regulated nightmare are active consumers and have the resources to indulge in the real high end $1000 / hr hookers but will try and restrict the middle class from their BP options. BTW the girl in the BP child prostitution ad is an actress.
To the points made earlier the quality has been falling in Bmore for a while, I think the NoVa area still has some decent options however, but like everything in NoVa its probably $20 more.

Multiple girls use that number
[QUOTE=ButtersStotch;1502143]This review's a little late but better than never I guess. Lacie is a tall Latina with nice curves and a thick ass. Not fat, but thicker than I expected from the pics. Wears it well and looks great in a dress. Allows DATY, and +.4 for BBBJ. Easy to deal with, but no CG, and she's a clock watcher. Once your time is up (or close to it) , she really shuts it down. Had an OK time.[/QUOTE]Lacie and Skylar both show up, with different pix. Did you get this girl?

Or this one?

Or neither?
WHY don't you use Google?

Saw Chelsea this week. Nice girl with big tits but, definitely does not live up to her pics. She is much heavier than pictured and not as shapely. Okay CBJ but would only do mish. YMMV but I would not repeat.[/QUOTE]Many of us post over and over, telling people to do their research BEFORE setting out with $ in hand? Had you Googled her phone number, the FIRST result you'd have seen would be 4 reviews on anoThER board saying her pix are fake, with 3 out of 4 saying they would not repeat.
Another 10 seconds to copy her picture URL, paste it into Google, then click search by image, and you'd have found this:

Those of us who post frequent reviews, warnings, and lessons give detailed instructions on how to get the info on a girl in TWO MINUTES. It's 2012, not 1994. You don't have to set out blind and wonder what's going to be behind Door #1 anymore.
It was good of you to post the experience
[QUOTE=Prince Of P;1503097]I did google her number and found a few mixed reviews. I only saw her because she was the only one out of four providers I called who answered at the time. The others providers did have good reviews but, I guess it was just bad timing. It was my own fault for taking a chance and settling for the situation. I just posted my experience just in case another newbie was in that situation. Thanks for the constructive criticism. I definitely won't make that mistake again.[/QUOTE]If nothing else, you've helped warn off the next guy.
