I've noticed more and more ladies starting to screen clients, which i think it great.
At first I thought it was kind of a hassle but now I actually wont see a provider who doesnt screen.

 
It kind of works out for the better when screened anyway, then i feel like the provider is more at ease and offers a better experience.

If a provider doesnt screen and she works with other ladies, who knows who could be in the building with you while your getting your session and what kind of a mess you could end up in ! I've also noticed the providers that don't screen their clients seem to not offer top quality service for whatever reason.  (in my experiences)

I know a few ladies that i have seen have been losing business because some clients dont want to give out info about what ladies they have seen.. maybe they dont want their regular provider to find out or maybe they think its too much work. But honestly , All I do Is send over the name of a provider i have seen and the provider im trying to see reached out to her and all she has to do is type my Email into her Gmail account and bam good to go . It's that simple.
And every now and then you get those providers who wont provide a reference check and just ignore the girl asking for verification ( those are the providers i wont repeat with lol)  
I think everyone should work together and help each other out.. Whenever someone PM's me on here asking about a provider i always respond and give them some info ..

Anyways, thought i would share my thoughts on screening because its been brought up a few times recently

This is an issue I have taken very seriously since the day I started providing way too many years ago, and I am so pleased that you brought it up as a discussion point today as I am re-entering the business!

I truly believe that screening is an integral part of providing.  It is so important to be able to feel safe and comfortable in order to provide the top level of service that I expect to give of myself to you!  I also would feel nervous on your end seeing anyone that doesn't require references, because to me that means they don't value their own discretion enough to check on potential clients.  

I am also always happy to provide references in a timely fashion for the gentlemen I have seen, or at least I always was happy to in the past.  I will certainly again for anyone that sees me now, as I probably don't have the most current information on past visitors

Anyway, I am happy to be rejoining the boards, and hope that this opinion is helpful to the discussion!

Hugs & Kisses,

But it does suck when people do not
Want to screen
And you have to lose a potential friend.  

Stay safe everyone 💋💋💋💋

I don't have a problem providing screening information. I've tended to stick with familiar providers for the past few years, but I'm fine with using my regulars as references. Like any other reference, I've contacted them first to let them know I'm going to do it.  

I'm happy to say the women I use as references are well-known in town and I've done my best to ensure they say nice things about me (respectful, on time, clean, etc.). I'll also ask them for whitelist recommendations for that something extra if I decide to see someone new. I see my hobbying history as a passport. It makes travel smoother. Just like in other parts of life, too, it pays to maintain a good reputation.

Personal information, on the other hand, is kind of borderline for me. If my references and whitelists weren't good enough, I think I'd move along. Same thing with a provider who doesn't screen. We're both asking for trouble. That's why TER, with all its faults, is so valuable, at least to me.

Id they decide not screen should be a welcome goodbye.
It only takes one.

it is truly a two way street with screening.  

both sides are apprehensive about the other prior to the first meeting, during, and after.  

Screening is only good if both sides does it, even a call to see if a recent reference would check out, height, weight, hair colour, eye colour, etc. etc...  

I have even had a lady ask me to send her a photo, to remind her what I looked like. (saw her at a M&G).  

security and safety is the number one concern for the bulk of us on this site, the moment it isn't, then that would be the moment for self-reflection.  

For myself I have not seen anyone 'new' for a long while and the ladies I have seen are constantly dwindling; they leave for love, better paying real world jobs and such. I always wish them well if I am able to speak to them one last time.   When the last lady's number from this site, or a similar site, have been deleted from my phone would be the day the music dies

Spot on! Not only in this case, but what is even worth, when provider or agency doesn't do screening well, and close their eyes sometimes on something(believe their instincts), then you might end up being in trouble. Just imagine, you have an appointment at 5PM for example. Before your appointment, there possibly could have been other visitors, and what if one of those visitors is a problem person?(criminal, psychopath, LE etc) You are arriving to the hotel, getting a room number, knocking the door and---> "surprise"

why do you no longer provide references?

Good info, thanks Belinda!

I second that comment. I've asked CG for references in the past only to be told they don't provide references. The process hits a dead end when one party refuses to reciprocate.

Providing references should be a two way street.
