Has anybody had any luck with City Pages line ads?  Seems like a lot of potential dates are located their....wondering if it is worth the risk.

MIke, just like Tc Uncovered, you get waht you pay for.  most of these ladies are on the lower end.  You also may get some unwanted surprises on the looks scale since most of them are just line ads.  My rule is they have to have a picture and reviews before I will consider unless they have a really smokin hot body.  Be careful

TC Uncovered is the online site for the Adult Classifieds in City Pages.  99% of the ads appear in both.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  In my experience, you are shooting craps unless you can verify past performance through TER or someone that has been with provider.  I am not saying that there are no good ones out there but I have wasted more money than I care to admit on untested waters...

I have to agree, I have been burned more than not unless the provider has reviews.

What I find difficult is getting that first vital reference.  It seems that someone new to the hobby has no shot, its a catch-22, to see one of the "elite" providers you have to have seen someone they will accept as a reference, but you have to have a reference to get a reference.  

What is the best way to break this vicous circle?

Mn Jeff,  you can always get a RSK2000 membership. only costs $50 one time fee.  this may help you out. Otherwise another option would be to see the traveling agency providers such as MC or Taylors.  They do not require references, just adequate id.

Jeff,

The traveling girls are, in general, a much better value. Many of us now rely heavily on this endless supply of beauties.

Jeff,
Not every provider needs a reference, just adequate ID... I'd recommend Kamry for instance... she has been around and will be around and is worth a visit and then you have your first reference!
