1. I use the gallery option, then sort it by date.
2. If you are new and super hot, I do extra checks on you as you're probably a hairy cock sucker trying to rob me
3. Immediately skip your ad if it's full of 13 year old child jibberish like this. KuM@•○● c mYy ^&^ unEDukaaated PusSSSeEe^^♤●>
4. Skip ad id your house looks like welfare central
5. Cigarette in picture means you're a discusting pig that can't piece together what an attractive ad should be for your line of work
6. Laugh really hard if you charge 300+
7. Almost consider if you're well reviewed and sub 250
6. 100% consider if sub 220 and good reviews
7. Face pics are nice, but not needed
8. Structure and spelling in the ad go a long way for me. It just shows how serious you are
9. Skip if you ask for references, honestly? Are you that special?
10. Avoid any ads that scream sketchy
11. I always x-ref / check the review boards before booking anyways regardless of how well an ad looks. Chances are, no review, no booking...
12. I also skip on the ladies that advertise "specials" everyday and have been for 3+ years. Guess what hunny(s), that's desperate and also your regular rate at that point. I avoid these out of annoyance. Maybe make a special, an actual special or look up the word in the dictionary....
13. Sometimes use the "search" feature if looking for a girl in my part of town or looking for a specific name.
14. Call only ads, not a fan. I don't mind a call for confirmation, but a quick text for initial contact is what I prefer.
That's my general priority list for checking backpage ads.
Negative shit eh? Honestly I used the take chances and gove SPs the benefit of the doubt and that burned me multiple times for a decent chunk of change. So now, I'm just cautious. When you're making a few hundred bucks in 30 or 60 minutes, you better be selling pills that make me live forever OR be able to put together a great, simple, professional ad and follow up on it with amazing service!
Later guys!
