Outraged guy

Be relieved that that guy got outraged and showed his true colours. Now you know that by asking for screening information you avoided meeting him.  That's a very successful outcome in that case.

Of course you will lose some clients because they don't want to give you personal information.  It's perfectly understandable that they worry about this, just as it's equally understandable that you must try to stay safe.

Do what you think is right for you and don't be swayed by what anybody else thinks, especially not guys who get abusive.

I'm a GFE here in Vegas. I just got here a little over a week ago. I work alone and although I most likely make less then an agency, is it fair to demand referances? I'm torn. In one way a really nice guy I got a vibe on the phone seemed really nice but told him thats my rule. I realize all states are different so I'm willing to take into consideration some advice.There was one guy who got outraged and then minuets later wrote me hate e-mail about rape and hitting women. I don't need wild goose chases nor violence.Maybe my point I'm making is who ever calls me and gets the wrong idea about my rule please know I'm not trying to be a snob. I'm trying to protect myself. Again, any advice ?

You sound like some real jerks were calling. Blow them off litterally.

Make sure on your website it is clear their is a screening policy and that not to bother unless they understand that.

The jerk that called you with the threats is the kind that looks at a website of a ladie that maybe he can victimize or play dirty phone stuff with. Screen them all. You really need to get with some more experienced provider ladies here that know all the tricks that I and other clients don't.

Except me. No need to screen me. I am harmless, I promise.

i think provider references are among one of the best ways to make sure you are safe.  not only from LE but some psycho hobbyist.  you have your own level of comfort and i would not compromise it ever.

Privacy is as big to the hobbyist as Safety is to you ladies. Many hobbyists are either married or worried about someone at their workplace finding out about their activities. So they will look elsewhere once they find out about your policy. That's the way it is...

1) You want to avoid the psychos and LE.  Screening, while not 100% reliable, is pretty effective.

2) Those that value their privacy need to pay a premium for that privilege.

3) Just because you work for an agency doesn't mean they'll protect or help you when you get into trouble.

Stay within your comfort zone and provide a high level of service and you'll be OK.  Some thicker skin and little paranoia goes a long way to surviving in this world.

Don't worry about the ones you lose because they wont' screen for you.  They're the ones you don't want as clients in the first place, and how would you ever know if you weren't screening?

I have a very upfront screening process that seems to work great.  If I feel a little iffy about the info a guy is willing to divulge, then I rely on references as the final determining factor.  If I get great references up front, then I'm not that concerned with most of the other stuff (except general occupation info, LOL).  

Every now and then someone will refuse and although I'm sure most of those guys are still good clients, I just don't want to see someone if I'm not comfortable up front.  In the end, I'd rather see fewer, high quality clients, and I just don't seem to have a problem finding enough high quality guys that are willing to share information, thank goodness!

p.s. psst, hey carrie, your new site is cool but I miss those big blue eyes staring at me from your old site ;)

when a girl ask me for referances i gave all she asks, except for my work phone.  i will not give that.  twice i have gotten around giving it out by giving names of past providers i have seen.  as long as your will to except that i would see like to see you

Talk on the phone for some time and get a vibe, if you trust your judgment.  Asking personal and company info, or references is a turn off to some of the best customers.
