Leolist sucks

[rinamood]

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 🙏

• 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

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.

Forgive my rant... but it seems that Leolist now has more fakes than reality. Maybe even worse than the old Backpage days.

Seems like Backpage had more authentic independents than we gwt now...?

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.

Yes it sucks both ways 🙃 for you and us (not all I guess) and advertising on there can get up there in cost😭😭I have LL and tryst and perb .. I do ok with all of them, I agree that my ad on tryst sometimes makes me think I look super cheap 😟😖😁
I’m old so using blusky and twitter and whatever else just seems so complicated lmfao 😂.. but I should probably jump on board 🙃🩷
my biggest pet peeve is I pay for an ad on ll and in a couple hours (if that) I’m on page 499888 or so behind 5 million fake ads😫🥴🥴🥴🫩🫩 they all seem to have their good and bad..

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.

I have offered my suggestions based off of what my clients tell me they use locally. I'm not sure what you mean by filters not being "as good" on Tryst vs LL, looking at them both just now. The "available now" can be used whatever way individuals would like to use them - I don't have client experience myself.

My hope for you as well! 🙏

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.
