This is how I learned about Backpage

Two guys as you entered, one pops out of the restroom. All wanting money. Then they get into a fight!

Exit stage left in a big hurry.

Grinds my gears when I see this ad.

Not even close to resembling the pictures.

I recognize those pictures. They've been used before.

Yeah- these pics have been around allot in multiple cities. I don't recall ever seeing them linked to a positive review.

Same here - I have seen those photos for at least a couple of years on various different ads in different cities.

 

Caution, caution, caution is the name of the game (for us).

 

Scammers, galore (no doubt about it)!

I don't recognize the pics, but I have learned to stay away from the signs of what I call "copycat" ads - which in this case is the "dingbats" titles (all those symbols mixed up in the words, etc), the "checklist" or "bullet" style lists that make up the ad text, and the tendency to use composite shots (like the double shot in the lower middle of this ad). I have met a few decent guys on BP, but none of them have used any of these gimmicks. Having seen enough BP ads in the time I've been browsing sites like this, I tend to just find something a little offputting about ads with those formats, and I think my intuition is right.

 

Also - there's always at least one odd misspelling somewhere (this time it's "powerfull") and one can often find an automatic reference to "fetishes" (often packaged with the word "fantasies" as if the two are always related). Those short "posing" vids are also becoming increasingly popular, and I tend to find them a turnoff as well, just in the tone they often give off.
