They only tell us you are a member and how long you have been a member.  Nothing personal about you.  They do tell us if, another gal has complained about you.  Like, came over drunk or shorted woman a amount of cash. Only that u are fine to see and when you joined.

They went to my employer to see if I was who I said that I was in a round about way since I was divorced and all that.  Join a site to make it easy on the women.

I can see your concerns,,

1.  Most ladies ask for a lot more info for prescreening than a phone (can be a hobby phone), name and city of residence.  This is the info you give a provider to verify your RS2K.

2.  Room service verifies you once and then puts your name, phone and city into an encrypted database.  They do ask for complete prescreening to make sure you are the person you say you are. But only these three pieces of info are kept on file.

3.  While you are providing 3 pieces of info to the lady (see above).. You do not have to send complete info to make an appointment.  In other words the lady is not checking your employmenr, etc.

Other than verification info, the only thing room service maintains about you is info helpful to the provider: if you have ever been seen (ladies often let room service know you are an OK guy if its your first time), or comments about bad behavior (shortages, no-shows, rough handling, frequent cancellations).

Its up to you. However, in Illinois, many ladies require room service membership.

Thanks to all for the replies.  This info definitely helps with the decision.

Sinthia - thanks for directing me here.  I got more answers here than on the newbie board!
