I have a couple of questions for the hobbiests.
I didn't want to post this newbie board.
I've been a member for quite a while. I feel at home on this board.  I've posted many times but that's as far as I've gone.
I'm a widower now 4 years and beginning to go a little crazy.
I've never participated in the hobby (really) but plan to begin very soon.  Enough about me.
My question is credibility.  Many providers I peruse require references and you to "have your stripes".
When some of your began, you must have had zero reviews and nothing to base yourself on.  How did you handle this?
My other question is do you providers have some sort of discussion board?  He's real nice or stay away from him or psycho/druggie/alchololic or whatever?
I'm hoping to take the plunge very soon, start slow and move my way along.  You can reply to me personally if you like at [email protected].
Thanks,
Fibes

Most providers have an alternative verification system to other providers.  Just follow your instincts, and proceed.  I did.  It is not leaping off a cliff!

Enjoy!

Don't start. It's worst than drugs, you might end up hooked. Go directly to MM.com and get yourself a real girl before it's too late.

I guess it depends on whether you see an independent provider or one with an agency.  I tend to see ladies from an agency and they only require basic info (home and job # etc).  Having reviews has not mattered for me in this respect.

Well, good luck and take care.
