LL is a weird space imo.
90% of clients do 0 research, even when the links to the website, the social media or reviews is on the ad, they don't bother clicking them.
Like everyone else said, you'd have a much better experience just clicking around a little bit before texting her. There are many real SP on LL who are not even mentionned on Merb, but you need to click and check.
I think the quality of ads on the site also reflect the quality of clients who use the site. For every dishonest profile, there are 2 fake clients wasting our time texting nonsense.
