It's hard to find a good deal on LeoList these days. You see fake photos 8 times out of 10!
All the fat chicks use the "BBW" tag - and they tend to be morbidly obese & wildly unattractive (not to mention a fee of $150 for half-hour - which is ridiculous).
The "Latinas" are literally the worst. They advertise services by asking $80 or $100 for half-hour, and then when you show up and hand over the money, they don't do their jobs and literally get you to finish on your own. You may see different ads & phone numbers, but when they reveal the address (example: 500 Wilson Ave, Unit 701), you find out that it's the same damn apartment or condo - which literally tells you that there is definitely a pimp or some human trafficking involved. Stay away from those (especially the ugly Mexican ones - holy shit)!
As for bait-and-switch, unfortunately the Asians do it most often (if we're talking about escorts who are not MPAs working at spas - although spas post fake photos too - but at least they will offer a decent massage). It would be one hell of a miracle if you found a Chinese provider posting her REAL photos on LeoList! Sometimes, they will even use the "CBC" label (i.e. Canadian-born Chinese) to get past the stigma.
As for white escorts, any pretty girl posting for less than $300/hour and servicing at some ghetto location has something up her sleeve. Some of these ladies also work as strippers and dancers elsewhere - or they are selling services on OnlyFans (meaning they have handlers somewhere). A lot of the Eastern European chicks posting on LeoList are on the older side (while the younger ones are high rollers and working for agencies). In this case, the reverse applies (compared to Asians): white chicks are better as escorts (as opposed to MPAs).
When it comes to black women, I just avoid them like the plague. This is just a matter of personal preference. I don't find them attractive, and on top of that, they charge way too much (example: fee of $300/hour for just erotic massage). Any ladies wearing a weave or wig just turns me off.
The South Asian escorts (which are rare) are clearly past their prime and put no effort into their looks - hygiene and maintenance are disgustingly poor.
I agree with the other commenters here: reputation is key. If you find positive reviews on other websites, then you're playing it safe. Otherwise, if the escort is posting hundreds of times in a month and there is not a single review, then it's best to ignore and move the fuck on.
(just my two cents on this topic overall)
