1. I wonder why guys don't like to get screened . Is it really a big deal giving a bit of info for mutual safety and security?  
I understand keeping the privacy but if I were a hobbyist I wouldn't want to see a girl that doesn't screen clients.

Actually, I can't remember the last time a Provider didn't wanna bother to screen me.

Second question is easier to answer without ruffling feathers, local gals no question easier to build a rapore and have more fun after the first session butterflies.  

Many guys don't like giving out their personal info because they don't know for sure if it will come back to haunt them. We are strangers to the men as much as they are strangers to us. I only screen if the guy triggers my spidy sensors when he contacts me.

Thats what I would think too.... it's nice to have a regular or two.

being screened..I would not want to see a lady that didn't screen her clients.

over the visiting gals because of the friendships that are developed and easier maintained because they are local..

if she screened you or not. Even if one provides the info, which I don't mind, you really don't know .. I guess that is a sort of screening.  

1-screening is difficult for me due to being self employed, along with the fact that I often go over 6 months without seeing a provider, so references are tough to come by.

she has in on her computer. This can put you at risk if you are dealing with an unstable provider or one that is not careful with the personal information she receives

we live in a world full of risk. Some risks are worth taking and some are not. If I have done my homework, I can minimize that risk. However, I have know folks that were OK for a while and then they just snapped. I was married to one hundreds of years ago, and I still got married again. Go figure. So, it always somewhat of a risk.

on ties. Seems like someone took them.  

I hadn't really thought about it, but I "screen" Providers by looking at their website and some reviews.  There's no threat that a Provider with a website and reviews is LE.

1: Personally, I don't mind it at all. I do understand that Mutual Trust is an issue and the concerns regarding an unstable provider, personal info getting tossed around, etc... Yet I also understand why it is better for both as well. A provider needs that security for many reasons other than the obvious. Their personal safety... So to me, no it isn't a big deal at all. I'm sure there are far more unstable Clients than providers out there. (I've had a few share some stories and some mad me sad and extremely Angry! Would love to catch a guy treating a Lady bad...)  

you give her quite a bit of personal info due to her being on TER for 15 years with stellar reviews and because she has a reputation for having a good head on her shoulders.

Marie, you threw a good one out here that is indeed a thought provoking scenario and most certainly could happen.  

I saw this one hobbyist for well over five years, even had a tryst with he and his wife. I had been to his house. He had been to mine This guy was no slouch....A Type personality, professional, educated, kind..... I get a call from a provider wanting a reference for this guy, of course I give him a stellar verbal review.  He and I are buds. Days later I get a call from the provider. She is pissed! He got really rough with her. She was scared it was going to be her last appointment....ever. Basically he used me to satisfy a sadistic fantasy. He knew I would talk him up and she would then have her guard down

Yeah, somebody can turn crazy, but, odds are, once OK, almost always OK

1. As guy you worry the information can used against you for blackmail - being held up. p411 as an intermediary helps until it gets hacked (we are all basically trusting someone with our information).  Screening to me is part of building trust. Irony is for guys is women who require screening are actually the most trust worthy as these ladies are really thinking with their heads.  So in a sense screening is an ironic plus.  

And I love your reply and wish I could "like" it more than once!

That's true...sometimes you can easily screen with phone numbers and/or email addresses.  In that case he may not even know he's been screened.

An Accident Is Going To Happen

I guess that I've led a sheltered life.  I've been hobbyin for 12 years but I've only been on this Board for ~1 year.  I've learned a lot on this board.  None of the Providers I've seen have ever told me about stuff that you just listed.

"I have know(n) folks that were O.K. for a while, and then they just snapped."  

I think that what it boils down to is it being a two way street:

There is risk on both sides.  And once it is on someone's computer it is there.  The same with email.  It's never "totally" gone or erased.  And there are some looney tunes on both sides.  I have had the unpleasant experience of a provider try to threaten me.  Fortunately for me I know how and had the means to put an immediate halt to it.

I have seen it happen and people get busted on more than one occasion.  It is nothing to create a website and nothing to get some fake reviews up.

It can happen in reverse.  Providers getting to friendly, wanting something free, looking for a handout, sob stories, strung out on drugs, etc.  It's a two way street for sure!

BURNOUT.  

The person you refer to is said to be "on the juice" in a vain effort to stave off aging and build muscle.  The result can be "roid rage" and I'm not talking about hemorrhoids.  It can also lead to an enlarged clit and adam's apple.  One would hope someone would report on this but I believe she claims to have many mens' balls in her purse.  LMAO!

What I do know to be accurate is "roid rage" or anyone strung out on steroids to be very scary. I'm a pretty brave gal, but when I was alone with an admitted steroid user, I was DAMN nervous. It's not the kind of appointment I'd ever want to experience again. I'd also like to throw in that I knew this guy for quite a few years, so I was very familiar with his behavior and appearance before he started using steroids.

They are trying to keep the community safe, which is the purpose of these boards. I bashed a provider for years...publically. She did her damnedest to destroy my life and I was on a mission to warm others about what she was capable of.  I was by far not her only victim

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with her being on steroids. If she WAS, she'd quite frankly have a lot more muscle. And steroids don't help with aging. You're confusing them with Human Growth Hormone.

1) The person in question bragged continually about growth in muscle mass and drops in body fat.
2) Photos that this person posted showed an increase in muscularity and vascularity.
3) I never said steroids themselves help with aging, simply that they were part of an effort in this case to change body image as a reaction to aging.
I hope this clarifies things for you.

I did not mean that in a snarky way (sometimes I don't come across as I intend). Steroids can change a persons personality (and not necessarily in a good way) and they are illegal to be on without a prescription. I personally would not want to hang out with someone who had a controlled drug on them.....or was under the influence of a controlled substance. I believe anabolic steroids are a schedule lll drug. I'm double checking that info right now

Some steroids are for getting cut while burning fat like Winstrol, Trenbolone and Anavar.  

Like whatsoever. Maybe educate yourself on weightlifting and the general lifestyle around it? She and I both are very into fitness and I can boast having the same things happen at different times as her. I certainly don't use anything illegal. Know what happens when you get onto weight lifting? And adopt the overall regimen that goes along with it? You see those exact things happen. DUH. So again- educate yourself on it. Why are you so obsessed with her life Lol?  

I've been around the body building scene for several years now. I've known guys that use them. I know the effects. I can point out effects on people that use because I've been around it so much.  

It's so attractive.  Best of luck with your counter-intuitive marketing plan.  As for your "peeps," it seems like you should have used the singular.  And as for this being "my board," grandiose much?

LMAO!  I know you're still pissed about the way I kicked your ass on the GD Board a couple of days ago, but for you own mental health, just let it go.

Wish I could see it in person one day

but she is a VERY angry woman, anyone who has ever read her posts can attest to that fact.

Whatever happened to Corrine?

It is one thing for someone like JLS to be on here for the millionth time desperately trying to salvage her bad rep, but for you to WK for her makes you to be the fool.

None of my statements show me in ANY kind of light, really. So I could really care less about anything you have to say. I only responded to the statements about her being on steroids. Nothing more. I'm not a board whore like you and the others who sit on here all day obsessing over her. So I don't follow all her posts and I don't read her blog. Has nothing to do with me. I commented on the subject of steroids ONLY. Because extremely ignorant statements were made. Nothing for me to rethink.  

I find it hugely ironic that your only male defender has NEVER met you in person. lmao

I didn't know you were THIS stupid but WK for JLS gave me an early indication.

Where did that girl go? LOL

You also clearly have poor reading comprehension or a bad case of Munchausen Syndrome.  IOW, go back and read the thread again.  You embarrassed yourself and you know it.

Didn't want to jump into a war, but Gabby is right.  
Everyone should try to stay fit. If you workout, eat right, use the right amount of Protein, you're gonna look good. Add  L-Arginine (An Amino Acid which is also a Vasodilator, among many other potential health benefits) and you will see Veins for sure. All natural and can get at Walmart if need be.  

I haven't lived in Atlanta for many years and I still have loads of friends there.

Stay on good terms with GaGambler Lol!

This got to be quite the thread didn't it?  It has been a while since Julia and I have seen each other, but I have to say I don't get all this animosity.  I found her fun to share a Mimosa with, frisky to the right degree, and easy to talk to.  All in all a good way to spend a couple of hours.  I imagine others haven't spoken up because they just don't care for the drama.  Understandable given some of the rather caustic comments so far.

and you have to admit, she makes it SO easy. lol
