Hey everyone, I'm a super newbie and am wondeirng if there are any providers that you think are really nice and easy to deal with for a starter?

go to the Newbie board and search for P411.  You'll find plenty of great insight on that subject and many others.  Personally I'm totally sold, makes verification way easier.

Couldn't agree more Goliath.  P411 will even let you know which ladies are newbie friendly.

I am a newbie. I am also newbie friendly. Message me we can talk.

Elan might knock your socks off if she's your 1st...Trinity Lake is another. Depends on how much you want to spend and what you're looking for...Goliath already gave you good advice plus Elan already sent you a PM...just follow the yellow brick road to Oz!

Same as the OP. For me this is like an on and off kinda situation. Like now I'm free for a month or so and then it maybe another year or so before I get this kind of opportunity to explore. So spending a year's worth of p411 fees seems an overkill for me. I am glad TER has monthly memberships
Any newbie-friendly PMs will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks.
