Hello - long time lurker, first time poster. I'm interested in easing into the hobby through a newbie-friendly provider willing to show me the ropes. I have VIP on TER, but no other accounts yet. I'm hoping to have an experience before deciding if I want to invest in other verification systems.

do your research. Find a lady you like. See if you can comply with her screening policies. If not, move on. Lots of ladies (myself included) are newb-friendly, but that doesn't mean they are lax about screening. You'll more than likely need to provide employment verification information or additional personal info if you're interested in seeing most of the ladies who advertise here.

some don't like it because unlike P411 personal info is exposed to the provider. Double edged sword, because many providers also feel more comfortable when they have your personal information, for obvious reasons. I've never had a problem using RS2K, but you have to decide what you're comfortable with info-wise. If you plan to do this in other cities you may want to go the P411 route as RS2K is mostly a Chicago thing.

Thanks for the advice. I'm happy to work with someone on their screening process. I get that it's for everyone's protection.

Thanks for the guidance!

Same here. A wise investment that has opened a lot of doors for me.

Thanks for the tips! Should this be something I want to dive into, I will explore P411 further.

I am very newbie friendly

While I absolutely love when a new gent takes the initiative and signs up for a verification site, it is not something I require.
