are you that dense?

I was making a direct response to your driver's license statement and you were referring to hobbyists going through a screening process that the provider requires a driver's license along with a picture of themselves. I wasn't even talking about providers at all.

so... yea... I was talking to you.

Re: Who was talking to you? Not I.    
   
 The OP is in a totally different situation than you, and there are plenty of good providers who won't compromise personal information.  Just ask Mr. Fisher.  You could take a lesson from him.

... and I turned them down. why? because I'm not that stupid to provide them with an ID that can compromise my identity and give them opportunities to use my identity to steal money from me. no, thanks!!  
     
  I responded back to those providers and asked them to use a different screening method... like provider references. I have plenty of provider references, so it's not a problem for me.  
     
  I disagree with you that a photo with an ID is a "legitimate offer" because I do not know the end result when the providers get that photo. are those providers going to delete that photo after seeing it? how can I trust them? I can't... therefore, I refuse to do it in the first place.

Re: Actually there are some providers who would accept that. They have you hold up your DL next to your face and e-mail a photo of it to them.  It's a legitimate offer that a few will accept but you'll probably get turned down by most ladies.  Perseverance is your friend.  ;)

So I recently read a thread and found out that newbie friendly doesn't mean what I thought it meant. I used to think it meant "inexperienced" such as myself or new to this hobby specifically, which it pretty much does mean that. But I found out it also means that providers are willing to toftt and use other forms to screen you. I found provider willing to see me and asked for a LinkedIn, which I don't have, or my Facebook which I don't feel safe giving out. But I thought of something I could possibly use if its ok with a provider.
     To any provider who reads this would it be possible for me to use my YouTube account as something? I made it about 6 years ago and I have uploaded regularly. I was about 13 when I started uploading and I am currently 19 and I personally think it would be able to verify who I am.  
     Here's the thing I'm pretty sure my account, while it may be verifiable, some providers might want more info, so I was planning on making a private video with any other requests a provider might have in order to verify me. I would make a video make it private then send them the link so only they could access it.
     So to any providers who think this is a decent way to verify me please let me know or any providers within LI, Ny willing to see me with this method please let me know. Thank you for your time. :)

I currently don't have VIP and I received two messages so if your reading this again please send it to my alternate email, (TER username)villa at aol. Reason is I'm not sure when I'm getting VIP so I wouldn't know how relevant your message would be by the time I read it thank you.

Ok, first your 19, your probably not married so no worries there.  Do your research first, check out Preferred411 this is what they do.  DO NOT make the video and show your info, you'll be safer to give it to a source that will verify you.  Find a well reviewed provider who is Newbie friendly contact her they way she (website) asks you to.  Explain yourself DO NOT LIE to her be honest, it will probably work out.  The first one is the hardest.  Good luck my friend...

your idea is not good, and I totally agree with them.  On a side note, number one, get VIP, it's worth it, and number two, you are probably going to get some turn-downs because of your age.  Many providers will not see someone as young as you are.  Yeah, I know, it sucks, but that's the way of the hobby.  It's their choice as to who they see for whatever reason.

Your best bet is to join one of the verification sites.  That way you only have to give out personal info once, instead of to several providers.
