Carrie,
Thank you for the excellent advice, and for the open mind. The other posters made some ridiculous assumptions, which you did not, and I appreciate it.
Funny, because my pal wanted me to ask because he didn't want to get tangled up in the idiocy that's been displayed in this thread so far (except for your post, of course). I guess I was the naive one in thinking there wouldn't be hostility! I guess he knew more than I did, given his life experiences.
Again, tried to keep the parameter as open as possible (including location) so as not limit the options. I'm sure he can get a rental car if he so chooses.
Your points are helpful. Talking to my pal last night, he was thinking about just forgetting the whole thing. He hasn't had to deal with this issue in other parts of the country or the world. He generally has stuck with the top providers in an area or region, sometimes from suggestions I make. Money doesn't play into it -- he just wants a good time and somebody beautiful and nice.
Thanks again, Carrie.
And for the other posters -- really? Suggesting a provider website that hasn't been updated in almost a year? Suggesting he stick with his own kind (though a lovely lady she is, but it's an assumption she sees "her own kind.")? The hostility? The stupid assumptions? Talking about VIP status when you don't have it either, it seems?
Friends, I always try to be polite to everyone, cause you never know who you might be talking to on the other end. My pal isn't asking to spend time with you...unless that's what you fear. 
There is therapy for that, you know.
Chill out people -- this is about fun.
no you were not polite. you immediately started your infantile bullshit when we stated the obvious and you did not like it. did you book an appt. from this thread? i highly doubt it!
Sorry you got so much crap just for asking for recommendations.
First off I didn't mention race at all, too many people want to play the race card and I just think it's an easy excuse with no relevance in an argument. My problem is that the idiocy that you mention is more that you are speaking for your more experienced "pal". If he knew better than why didn't he ask in the first place.
You state that he has not had this problem in other states, did you set those up for him as well or was he a big boy and do it for himself? Will you be setting up his rental car as well?
I don't give a rats ass what color any of you are. I was raised in a very infamous area of New Orleans, where being white made me the minority. So can't you see I'm calling you out on setting something up for another grown man that I'm sure is capable of doing it himself especially since he has done it in other cities.
As far as being VIP, well I do have a VIP so that is not a valid argument in regards to me. The other poster you are referring to, most likely thats an alias of someone that has VIP status.
My wish for your pal is that he visits and experiences the best pussy he has ever had the pleasure of being in, and that he grows a pair and finds that pussy for himself. This is not hostile, but just a wake up call. It's simple, honestly it just makes you seem like a yes man. Do you understand?

MagicMedic,
I think we're all getting too hot under the collar over small issues.
Certainly there is a racial component to this that I brought up simply because OTHER PEOPLE put it in their preferences. I agree that whining about stupid shit like this is useless. Until the racist knuckle-draggers are (interracially) bred out of existence (and I say that as a white dude) we'll have to deal with their silly crap.
I thought hobbyists were supposed to help one another, and in that vein I was trying to help my friend. Asking an innocuous question ended up becoming a tempest in a teapot.
I don't mean to offend anybody, but I will defend myself and my friend.
Asking for help doesn't mean my friend lacks balls. If anything, I feel quite the opposite. He reached out because he thought maybe I could help him be objective. Also, there were discretion issues, too.
In the end, I suggested that he forget it. Thanks to those who gave constructive input -- maybe a more under the radar approach would work better next time, in order to avoid the hostility that was displayed by some on this forum.
