In the past month or so the escort listings on backpage have gone downhill badly. There are many more listings, but sorting out the grain from the chaff has become almost impossible. There are a very few known reliable escorts, but it looks like a large number are ones members have issued warnings about.
Backpage - Useful??????
- Thread starter sensualsixty
- Start date
When backpage got shut down, (due to the Sheriff in the states convincing the credit card companies to stop allowing us to pay for our ads), backpage came up with all these ways for us to continue posting. They offered free ads, free bumps, and offers to advertise in other cities cheaply. So, I bit, and posted in my main area - Victoria, but it also shows as Nanaimo, Comox Valley etc. I've tried deleting them, but it just doesn't work. So, that might be why there are so many new ads there, of ladies that are not local to the area.
For those that have asked me, I tell them that if they can host me, I will travel to them, but I do not have an incall location there. When I did work there briefly in the summer, I had a record number of no shows and address collectors, I will not have an incall location there for that reason. I loose too much money.

Plus one sensualsixty. I can't agreed more. There is a vast divide between good and "bad" providers on backpages. Nanaimo has not really had anything new and note worthy in some time. Which is too bad. It seems the reputable providers are raising the bar in regards to the standards here, which I applaud. I almost never waste my time looking at backpages anymore, and have grown a bit tired of my rotatatipn of regulars. That's not a complaint ladies, just a fact.
I also never frequent BME, for two reasons. One I'm not a fan of seeing my truck on the John watch or cl. Second being the rampant drug use in her drug free environment. If she implemented some sort of drug testing as part of the employment contract, I may consider returning. I just have zero tolerance for that kind of stuff.

People keep throwing out this drug use accusation about the ladies at BME, yet I haven't seen signs of that as of yet in the three years I've been visiting BME.
Now, I haven't seen all the ladies working there but I'm betting neither have any of the members making these claims. Even if there were a few ladies there that are trying to overcome a history with drug use, it seems unfair to paint all the women at BME with the same brush.
That would be like an SP saying that all Perb men are assholes... Maybe true in some cases, but untrue for most.

Totally agree with majordomo on this one, people on this board talk about BME like its some shady crackhouse and I can't really understand why. It seems to all go back to a single accusation that Gemma must be a drug user as she's so skinny and spent a suspicious amount of time in the bathroom one time. I've been there a number of times and have always found the facilities immaculate and have never had concerns that the SP was an obvious drug user.
I never referenced Gemma, nor claimed bme was a crack shack. But your a fool if you believe that addiction is not the large part of those ladies fuel to work as an sp. without divulging what I do for a living, it makes it difficult to argue this. But my question to you is, you have a 20 something girl seeing approx 5-10 guys a day, lives on thirds st, collects a welfare cheque and has absolutely no money? Which doesn't mean that she is fact an addict but, this is an actual current girl on the BME line up. who is completely addicted, and fed by men with blinders. It's the nature of this industry, and I 100% believe riki is brilliant. I refuse to contribute. But. Then again I have always, since joining perb, been the asshole.
Thanks , that shed some light on the situation. Sadly, it does make bp somewhat useless.
Look, I'm not a fool, I know that addictions issues are probably what motivates 95% of SPs to do what they do but to say "there's rampant drug use at BME" gives totally the wrong impression of the place. The place is clean, I've never seen any evidence of any drug use on the premises, and have never seen an SP who was obviously high during our session or had any of the typical indicators of drug use (bad teeth, scabs, track marks, blown pupils, etc). I can't say that they're not taking the money and going out to get high after their shift but drug use has never been an issue any time I've been there.
Anyway I totally understand your position and understand why you would choose to only see indys but for an agency BME is not bad.

There we go again... You profess to know that "most" of the ladies at BME are drug users, and we are supposed to take you at your word and ignore our own experiences. How exactly is that of help to anyone?
If I say that most mechanics in Nanaimo are crooks while not disclosing any useful information about which mechanics I've used and which ones have screwed me over, just how credible are my claims to you?
Will you stop visiting all mechanics in Nanaimo based on my statements, even though you've had good experiences with the garages you've used ?
Or perhaps would I sound a bit like someone that was burned by a mechanic or two and have decided that they must all be crooks?
If your intention is to warn other gentlemen so we can avoid the risks of seeing a drug user, then say who we should be concerned about.
And as for your moral concerns about supporting a business that might (MIGHT) include a few drug users, do you watch any professional league sports? Everyone knows that professional athletes never ever use drugs, so no need to worry about applying that same morality to your support of those organizations.
I do not wish to see a drug user nor support their habit, but that doesn't mean I am going to stop seeing and supporting the ladies I've visited that have show zero signs of any drug use.
Back pages had been a useful tool for me, however mostly when I check it against reviews here. Or have a quick urge and use my tiny screens phone to loose some money. The stuff being said here about BME seems to be a tug of war. I have seen three ladies from there. One is always in detox, and then rehab, one was too young and boring (although very attractive), and the third was a new addition who did say she she enhances her desire to make us more palatable. Apparently most of us aren't hot! That's a huge turn off for me to know she needed help to get through our app.
Are you sure about the percentage? As far as the Anti's its really 100%...So, I'm wondering where you are getting your numbers. It seems to me, that some people will throw a number out based on their "perception". It could be that they chose to see those that are willing to take a call, no matter what time of day or night it is. Some who will accept an invitation for a low ball dollar sign. Others that will not screen at all, and take every Tom, Dick and Harry to her pad. While others will run at the red flags, there are always some who go forward.
My experience is that for the established providers, those that are willing to actually provide a great service, the number of us that are "addicts", are actually really low. So, unless you have some real actual facts, please don't lump everyone in with those that are partaking in it. I will never understand why some choose to see the "red flag" girls. I can understand those that are new to the hobby, but when you have the resources and information to find the real gems, but choose to go elsewhere. Sorry, I'm not surprised.
I'm signing off, before I get into trouble. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! xo
It was only an example ! are you really thinking this is about you ? lordy , lordy , its all bad ! I"M Done !
