Is that why your VCR is always flashing 12:00 every time I have an appointment?
Leolist sucks
- Thread starter Luv_Kitty
- Start date
As examples:
- on leolist I can pick my city (Victoria) and see only ads for that city. On Tryst the best I can do is within 5/15/30/60 miles of my city. That's almost the same, yet if I pick 30 miles I often see escorts from the Lower Mainland or Bellingham which is not at all what I'm looking for. If I pick 15 I'm left thinking "have I accidentally restricted my search to too small of an area?"
- note: not saying Leolist is perfect as it isn't. -- I'd love to have more fine grained regions like "downtown" or "esquimalt" or "langford" rather than just "Victoria", much like the greater Vancouver section of Leo has Vancouver, Surrey, New West/Burnaby, etc.
- on tryst even when I do get my distance and location search right, I will often see matches for girls who are visiting in a month, not at all what I'm interested in when I'm looking for local SPs who are here now. Similarly, I'll see matches for SPs who are based in Vic, but might be travelling elsewhere at the time I'm searching.
- there's no incall/outcall/online filter on Tryst like there is on Leolist (or at least I don't see one) and normally I only search for incall since I'm not able to host an outcall
- to search by name, it's the basic search field that's prominent on all listings on Leolist. On Tryst, I have to expand the filter selection, find the keyword box and search there. Admittedly a small annoyance, but still an annoyance
- most of the girls on Tryst are higher end escorts. That's fine and that can sometimes be what one is looking for, but sometimes clients are looking for a quick fling rather than a longer/more upscale experience
- similarly, when I go to Tryst (maybe this is a Victoria issue since we're a smaller market?) I see the same two pages of escorts every time I visit. There's virtually no change, almost never see a new face show up. Leolist is better for the "novelty" of seeing someone new (which of course comes with its own risks/downsides)
- in terms of the "availability", yeah Tryst does have that "available now" filter, but that's not the same as the "bump to the top so likely available" mechanics of Leolist. I've had times where I've messaged SPs on Tryst who show as Available now and not gotten responses. 🤷♂️
I see where you're coming from overall! I wouldn't have noticed most of your points at all since I just advertise 🩵 A lot of it comes down to a UI built for real clients and I think Tryst would benefit from some of your suggestions for sure 🙏
Though there is a filter for rates per hour on tryst, there are not as many advertising sub 400/h there for FS and it would be rare to find 30min engagements available. New listings must be fully verified or they don't go up at all - there are SPs who are not comfortable with this and would not use Tryst, such as those who are only working here for a short time.
i guess as a general rule of thumb the amount of OF scams are outnumbering the real ads, but there are still plenty of real ads. some cities will generally have much less ads than others.
still, i find leolist to be one of the best platforms for finding SPs. nothing else comes close in rivalling it at this point.
I have gotten a few clients that wouldn’t have booked me without following me on blue sky. And I’ve had 2 (so far) find me on Bluesky. Both Americans and great dates. I highly recommend getting on Bluesky and just chat and share things. I’m not as sexy as I should be on these platforms. I hate taking selfies and I hate being pick me pick me. So I just share politics and other sw’s stuff (the occasional selfie ugh) and I have traction from there. I find Twitter to be a toxic hellhole so I left there and I just concentrate on blue sky and perb for social media. Tryst and occasionally leolist keeps me as busy as I want to be. I just bumped my leolist ad a few days ago and I was on page 72 lol.
Another thing I noticed about leolist yesterday. I bumped my leolist ads on Friday. I was curious where I was on Saturday. I couldn’t find my ad on the first or the second escort page. Then I filtered first vancouver and I couldn’t find my ad on the first 2 pages. Then I added Caucasian and I was on the second page. And then added min 40 and I was the 4th ad down. Which explains how people book me on a days old ad. I find clients are better when they seek somebody out with my specifics. Not every date is worth allowing into my home. So I was happy to see I was the 4th ad down on a 24 hour old ad
Tryst also has some pretty great articles, most written by SWs, which were really interesting to read. I swear, I’m only on there for the articles.
There’s no LL in Seattle, so I use Tryst a LOT. And I’m sorry to have to inform folks, but Tryst has a ton of ladies attempting to get OF subs too. It’s so bad that… if I see an OF link in a profile, I’m highly likely to ignore the person.
For the REAL providers posting ads on Tryst… I highly suggest limiting your OF mention to the bottom of your contact info. Any mention of OF in your intro area is a huge Red flag.
