Unless you want to be out of a lot of money and get screwed (and not the good way).

You can always see reputable providers who have longevity, good reviews, and a professional online presence

You cannot see upscale ladies who verify if you are unwilling to be screened.  Do your homework on a lady first and contact her only after you feel comfortable.  There are some bad seeds in this industry who make it bad for the rest of us honest ladies who never kiss and tell.  Stay safe!

Who said anything about not being screened, boo?  

X2 that is why I use p411 and Roomservice 2000.

do what you are comfortable with, choose wisely and do your homework. then you will never find yourself in this situation.

If you are so comfortable with strangers having your personal information, please post it here.  Why not?  What could possibly go wrong?

If good reputations were all that was needed no one should worry. It just takes a life changing event for girls in this biz to go BSC.  
So never give out any personal info in this biz to anyone.

Agreed Norman.  unless you have nothing to lose.  If you have money/family/reputation, then you are risking all three by putting your data in the hands of strangers.  I saw it happen to a hobbyist friend of mine.  Be careful gents

if you don't like someone's screening policies, just move on. It's really senseless to bitch about it when there are lots of ladies out there that will happily see you with solid references and an alias.  

disclosing information privately to a professional is the exact opposite of disclosing personal information in a public forum. Your equivocation is false. Just ask Facebook.

O wise one practice what you preach. The op was not for you only for guys who don't know all the risks, so you should have just moved on and not commented. Or was that just a threAD.

Oh, I learned something today!

No, not really. Through being opinionated has granted me lots of attention, both negative and positive. If having an opinion is a threAD, then consider my whole existence and presence is an advertisement.

Of having an opinion that is. lol

As for the OP, although I largely agree with his advice, I much preer the advice to "Never give out more information than you are comfortable with giving"

I will certainly agree that you have no idea when a seemingly well reviewed and well balanced provider will turn BSC on you and become the hooker from hell for no apparent reason, but I have to temper that fact with the fact that I have given out personal information to dozens if not hundreds of different hookers over the years without ill effect. Not that they could do anything with the info anyhow as I am blackmail proof and  could not care less who knows I fuck hookers.

I assume that if the lady is reputable, she will continue to be reputable.   My worry is where is the information stored?    Will some unhappy H or SO have access to it now or at a future point in time?   Second, although unlikely with a well-reviewed provider, how about a bust?   Again, for many the worry is not a retroactive prosecution for something LE cannot prove, the worry is the mere involvement in anything relating to LE, because even a call from LE can absolutely screw up someone's life.

I never ask for it. It is really hypocritical to ask guys to give out personal info when girls are unwilling to do the same.  

Let's see, I'm supposed to give you my name but you don't have to give me yours?  Yeah, no thanks.

why do you give your personal info to utility companies and the like..aren't they strangers? by the way, they are more likely to sell your info than even the worst providers. what a silly argument..

They illegally looked up his license plate to get his personal information. The real lesson here is to use a rental car when visiting shady hookers.

she was not shady but one of the best rated in Minneapolis

Exactly.  Why make it easy for some girl who might go BSC
