"bravery"?  More often than not laziness or stupidity.  As it's been said numerous times, there's  many was to verify legitimacy,  tin eye search,  recognize the obvious, google search phone number,  etc.

I agree that there is TOFTT, and then there is dumb

I have a few reviews for ladies where I was the first or second reviewer. Not doing that so much any more, mostly because I am not seeing new ladies much at all, but looking back it is pretty clear that I almost never TOFTT. My worst experiences have mostly been with ladies who had reviews and really disappointed, including a few ladies that I have not reviewed at all, either because they went NCNS, or for other reasons of discretion and consideration.

If it seems strange that my experiences with unreviewed ladies have included very few real disappointments, here is why. I screen the hell out of those providers, and will only do it if there is something that really attracts and intrigues me, and everything else seems right. On the other hand, with a "well-reviewed provider," I am more likely to let my guard down, ignore warning signs, and just barge ahead.

The moral of this story should be that I need to screen every lady, no matter how many reviews, the same way. But I get lazy. The message is not that there is a lot of joy in BP or those unreviewed little ladies offering us the world - it is a risky pursuit, you have to take your time and make sure it is good, otherwise you can easily end up with LE, a junkie rip off, or who knows what else. But if you are careful and screen, it can work just fine. You just have to work at it, and keep the little head in its place until the right time.

Having said that, like I said up top, I am sort of retired from trailblazing. BP=LE, and my hobbying has taken me in a different direction.
