Hello Carolinas, I've been at TER member since 2005, out of the hobby for years.  I want to jump back in.  Problem is I don't have any references anymore, my Preferred 411 expired long ago, and even my account here is no longer VIP.  I've been away so long I don't know where to go for credible resources, except for here of course.  

Fellow hobbyists, can you tell me:

1) what sites do you go to these days to find providers these days and can you comment on the good and bad ones (TER, Backpage, Eros, Provider guide, etc)?

2) best way for me to get to 2 references?  What hasn't changed is I still prefer cute coed/beach babes so I will be looking for those in the Charlotte/Concord area.

[Please note I have basic membership so I cannot access any private messages you send me].

I'd appreciate any input to help me get re-launched in 2014.  

Thanks!

You may want to contact some of the providers with whom you had previous sessions to rebuild your references.

You may be surprised by who actually does remember you..

If you are unable to locate one of your previous friends..

Just simply start over.. follow the rules.  

There are many wonderful ladies in the Charlotte and Concord area ( me for one) and they all have their own methods for screening..  

Good Luck

Most of my regular places/ladies I am finding no longer exist/left the hobby, which was in part why I left.   What do you think of new sites like escortads and other places like that

Yeah, most have moved on so it is looking more and more like I will need to start over from scratch.  I am hoping to at least get a sense of the "lay-of-the-land" these days (no pun intended) so I can be sure to avoid any trouble spots or find out any new good hobby scoop.

thanks for replying!

You might try some of the strip clubs. I've been fortunate to find a few quality strippers that provide. Seems they don't make what they used to dancing, so they have to supplement their income. Some of the best experiences I've had in the hobby. No worries about them being LE and no jumping thru hoops to get screened. Good Luck!

You have 37 reviews to use as somewhat of a reference.  I would use your TER username and try local Charlotte ladies listed on P411.

I am in the same boat, going to start back in the hobby. I do get email about one of the ladies I did review. I my have to start there if she still remember me. Good luck
