Really have enjoyed the hobby this year and have taken it a bit more serious (and quite often) since my return. Ive been screened on many occasion and i definitely understand why and support it 100%.  As a hobbyist though, i always fear coming into contact with LEO especially in areas where im visiting and not familiar.  A question to the either hobbyist here is how do you screen potential service providers and what questions do you ask?  Same question is posed to you gals as well...how have you been screened in the past. I know the beat way is to search for reviews and use tineye but sometimes they don't return any results. Thanks in advance.

Unless you're willing to toftt and risk it. I'm not.

References are best but if not you try to work around it. TOFFT isn't for everyone.

Little piece of info : Last 30 new reviews all but 3 advertise on backpage.

I ready reviews and pick out who I want to see.  Every once in a while I find a provider on eros that I want to see that has no reviews.  I usually email and ask if I am searching under the wrong name and she usually isn't that happy about asking about reviews which throws up an immediate red flag in my mind.  I like seeing the providers that are established and have solid repuations.  Ever since I put this policy in place I have had mostly good experiences.  

You can look for providers anywhere, but if she has no reviews, like others have said, she will not be seen by me.  Check out the phone number and the pics.  The only exceptions would be if she was recommended to me by a trusted hobby buddy or provider.  

It's just as important for us guys to check out the ladies as it is for them to screen us.

has been recommended to me from a provider or hobbyist I trust, or has established a good board presence as well as a good feel from either PM or email exchanges, there will be no date.

I absolutely agree with everyone.  Since I've started only seeing ladies that are reviewed it's been day and night from years ago. This year has been more enjoyable.  Because of this board, I'm able to research and make a much more informed decision.  I have a list of favorites that I've saved and will be visiting when time is right.  Thanks for all the input.
