You are right, some of the crazy Locanto gals are mad fun.
I'm guilty of the odd Locanto gamble myself, but that'd be out of my risk/reward zone, sorry!
I would run. I enjoy finding some less mainstream people on non escort sites. Have tried punting on locanto a couple of times and it's just a waste of time. 100% miss rate, mostly spam ads or people you'd rather burn your eyes out than see.
Back in the day Craigslist used to be great for genuine local independent service providers or kinks. Locanto didn't fill the gap.
These days I pretty much fall back to this forum, Escortify and FetLife.
Craigslist was also. Sometimes you'd find just regular local girls trying their hand at the escort game or just doing a one off weekend to make some extra cash. Locanto is an absolute waste of time, if you do find anything real on their its usually not worth it.
