Okay, I know there are a lot of "agencies" out there (Brazilian and others) that are frequented by some of this crowd, as well as a lot of independents. I know the indies all have their own ways .. their own systems for verification, some more rigorous than others; some "friendlier" to the occasional hobbyist.

What about the agencies? Do most of them operate in a similar manner? What personal info do they require? Do any of them take referrals? From indies? (possibly from an indie who is still associated with the agency, or left on friendly terms...)

Have you seen any providers, AMP, agency or independent?  Nothing but lots of questions, small-talk, and no reviews.  What gives?

Any ladies seen this guy?  Seems very suspicious.

Thank you, Teri and Sofia. I'm glad some of Atlanta's fine ladies remember me, as I don't find much time to spend with them.

He may be right in that I've never really posted an actual review, but usually just comments that I've received enjoyable sessions as expected from reading the reviews. (I guess my take on that is I am certifying, or validating other's experience without having to spell out the details that sometimes ladies don't want told. In fact, there have been at least 2 times where I was asked not to tell about a part of the service I received. Of course, I respected her wishes on the matter. I guess it's that YMMV factor. I also don't see the value in restating what others have stated, in the case of some well-respected reviewers, in a style that would not begin to compare to their styles.)

Hmmm ...

To gather information about a few ladies ...
To share experiences ...
To gather knowledge in general to improve myself in certain areas ...
For fun ...
To start lively discussions that don't include so much drama ...
To get the rest of the TER crowd to interact and communicate reasons, ideas, fantasies ...

In my experience, the Brazilian/Latina agencies do not screen or verify at all, so they are friendly to the occassional hobbyist or guys that do not want to give out any information at all.

Loni's agency (under whatever name she's calling it these days) does do screening, but she will accept references from indie providers (you usually can't get a reference from an agency provider, since the number or email you have for her goes to the agency operator and not the individual lady).

Agencies like Pleasures Playhouse or Angels of Atlanta usually do screening, but they rely almost exclusively on the "what's your main work number" verification scheme, which is so amazingly easy to get around that I don't know why they bother.  They will require that you give them both a first and last name, and some of the ladies will ask for ID to make sure the ID shown matches the first and last name given when making the appointment. You will almost always have to provide a call back number, since the agency probably won't know at that moment if the lady is actually available (like one of the recent PPH lady reviews - she might be out running errands, with no shower or make-up, and be willing to run right over).

Once verified, and you've actually been to an appt, the lady will usually give you a "code word" to use when you call back, and if you provide the code word, you can skip the screening.  Some agencies DO keep records, because there has been more than one accossion when I called an agency for a 2nd time, told the operator "Yes, I saw X before, and she told me a code word, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was", and the operator replied "Hang on a sec", and came back with "Oh yeah, I see where you did see X before, so you're OK"

Thanks. I was wondering if anyone would actually address the questions.
