Never had a problem, of course I do my research and try to see quality providers. Paying upfront gets the business out of the way and the provider is usually more relaxed if we do it that way.
The debate that often rages between our big and little heads can be fierce at times. Right?
What is the dumbest thing you've done based upon your little head winning the debate?
My dumbest thing? I was new to the hobby and didn't know about TER and was dependent on naughty reviews and city vibe. Not putting either site down, but I wasn't even a member and went strictly by the photo's and what the provider provided. So, I drive across town on a whim and the woman was certainly not the woman in the photo's. Not even close. On top of that, she was not even attractive. Not ugly, just not attractive. On top of that, the place was a dump. So we chit chatted a few minutes and she asked me to get her paper from the walkway outside. I went to get it and the door was locked behind me with the envelope inside. At that point the big head made itself heard and I did the smart thing and left. Oh, I took the paper with me.
For anyone that might be interested, I wrote a review. It can be found using my user name and her name was lily. It was one of my first reviews on TER.
has it backward. Your big head is what made you go out and get the paper. The little head would have said, "Get your own fucking paper." Little head knew what he was there for, the big head wasn't so sure, and so was suggestable. Just my warped take on your anecdote.
Well, I do respect your opinion. But if my big head was in the game, I would have taken the envelope with me. It was on the shelf beside the door.
has been one of my rules from the beginning. After all, providers always say that compensation is only for their time. Well, if that's the case why do you expect the envelope right away? Haven't spent anytime yet. Doing so undoubtedly saved me from some robs, schemes, and some very common surprises such as: oh by the way, forgot to tell you, my period started this morning or I really hurt my knee at the gym or just had a dental appointment. Most girls had no problem at all with that. And with a few that insisted, I just went back home.

make out? 
Yes, and you feel less stressed that the guy could be LE, paying upfront is the way to go to avoid feeling like there could be some possibility of an arrest which is completely scary!!!
