by a provider that had reviews, ladies have you ever been asked to work in a sting?

never for anything to do with prostitution.

Hehehehehe... Bwa hahahahaha!

When you let just anyone in the door, then just anything can happen

I DO NOT let just anyone in... I never said I did.

I have been this business a long time
& YOU have no idea of what you speak.

YOU are now on my list of NO REPLY TO...

& I might BUT, for now...

I am sorry for calling you a "little girl", I know that wasn't nice.

WHY are some of you SO ANGRY simply because I do not "fit the mold" here?

IF everyone thought like some of you...
there would never be a new Lady of TER OR hobbyist.

For G - d's sake people PLEASE stop attacking me!

I GIVE references to MANY ladies.
Just because I do NOT REQUIRE them does NOT mean
that I am not a team player... I AM.

I am on total DEFENSE here in this forum at the moment
& it is sad that some of you are so closed minded & judgmental.

...it appears that everyone's concern stems from the fact that you advertise that "you do not require references."  This gives the impression that you do not screen, which as everyone knows, would be a dangerous practice. I hope you screen. You do screen, right?

I think if you just told everyone that you DO SCREEN but your screening process does not require references, everyone would relax a bit.  I don't think they are attacking you, they are worried and concerned for your safety and the safety of the community. Just word it differently, let people know what you do to be safe, and I am sure they will calm down.

You know, every day ladies are being beat up, murdered, arrested...this is what screening and references help to avoid. By announcing you do not require references, perhaps some feel that you are increasing your odds for these dreadful things to happen.

Just a thought!

Thank you for your input.

Peoples ASSUMPTIONS are not for me to clear up.

I do not answer to ANYONE when it comes to way I conduct my business.
I do not ask for permission before I post what's on my mind &...
I do not OWE anyone an explanation of any kind for anything.

I did not make it this far to jeopardize my safety
& ability to make a living & if people can't SEE THAT that is very sad.

I go OUT OF MY WAY to help people HERE everyday.
I GIVE references several times a Wk & I AM NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO.

You are so sweet Toni,
believe in my judgement or don't, TIME SPEAKS VOLUMES
& I have been in this business long enough to have EARNED respect in it.

...you do not have to answer to anyone about your business, but you publicly announce your business on the boards by discussing your policies, so that is where some may feel it IS their business and it jeopardizes the community as a whole. I am just playing Devil's Advocate and wanted you to see that people are not "attacking you" and you should not feel defensive. It appears that they are concerned about the business that you post about.

Anyhow, let me just put forth something:

Hypothetically, if a few years ago in Chicago, a lady had an inquiry from a new gentleman. She did not require references either, just work verification and driver's license. He said he was a mortgage broker for ABC, Co. She called ABC, Co. a secretary answered, transferred her call to his voicemail...She called another time and was transferred directly to him. All seemed okay. He showed up at her home driving a Mercedes, all seemed fine, an older gentlemen entered her home, his license verified with the name, a few minutes later without even discussing anything...BOOM....arrested. He was a law enforcement agent. They had created an alias for him to use, a fake company, a fake dl, a fake name of a "real person" who checked out. Now, had she requested references, he would not have been able to produce a "valid" one.  Because, he is not allowed to see anyone (in the line of duty, anyhow).  BUT, it has been known that even if you do require references, "fake providers" are set up where they are law enforcement, and they will say a guy fine and they are ALL law enforcement. That is why, if someday you do decide to accept references, and I really hope  you reconsider this issue, you would need to verify that the lady is a "real" provider.

Also, we are a close community. The ladies stick together and protect each other.  I give helpful details to the ladies and they do me... Okay guys, close your ears on this one... I will sometimes tell a lady "yes, have this to drink, or have this to snack on or have this kind of music"...   Wouldn't it be nice to have a little information prior to meeting someone new anyhow?

Okay, I will "step down from the pulpit now"...lol....I am sure if you wanted a sermon  you would have gone to church this morning...maybe you did...lol....Anyway, I am not attacking you (I hope you don't think I am; hell Girl, your from Pittsburgh...Go Steelers!...I luv ya') and I am sure others are not attacking you. We are just concerned about your safety and well-being as that of the community as well.

Now, go get some sun...it's a beautiful day out there today! I am heading to the Beach...

Enjoy & be SAFE!
