Here are the two choices you have if you want to hobby:

1.  See gals who ask for little of any screening info, knowing that gals like that are often risky and that also you might be meeting LE instead of a provider because LE doesn't ask for screening.

2.  See gals who do ask for personal info and maybe end up like the Zumba clients.

I prefer to go with the second group, but we all decide what we think is best for ourselves in the final analysis.

Either way, the law of averages is your best protection.

Or, you can decide not to hobby, but that's no fun.

...most reputable ladies would never be so careless.

Second, I completely understand your concern. I dont blame you whatsoever. I suggest you get together some references that you can use or maybe get a verified lady youve seen to vouch for you on one of the many verification sites like date-check or p411 or roomservice. That tends to make verification pretty painless.

At the end of the day we have to be careful just like you have to be careful. Always remember to be discreet when making contact & booking. Always trust your instinct. Most importantly.... dont let this stupid girl ruin your impression of us all.

We all have to make a decision when scheduling our little adventures. That decision should be based on your own particular situation and your level of risk your willing to take. I would assume a married man has way more (risk) to consider then a single man. This nightmare that has happened in Maine will ruin so many lives...all for what...an hour of adult fun?? Was it worth it? Were these guys trusting this girl to dispose of there personal info...of course they were. I know for a fact that MANY girls save client information for future reference, this information can and will be used by LE if this girl ends up getting pinched!

I have decided that my personal life and the chances of destroying that for a long time is no where near worth the hour of pleasure I may derive from meeting a girl who insist on my own verifiable information...No way no how! I have never had any issue with seeing any girl I have been interested in without supplying all this "Verification" info.... While i feel terrible for each guy in Maine who is in the midst of having there lives turned upside down, I must say you all should have used your big head first to understand your level of risk before u handed  the keys to your life out. Anyone at anytime in this business could use what info they have against you!

And to the girls who require this information....I do understand your need for this information, thats your right but don't think for one minute either you or LE can't access and use that information regardless of the care you take in securing or deleting it. Once its in your hands there are no guarantee's as to how it could be used in the future.

Stepping of my pedestal...LOL
Muffy

Never give your personal info

Muffy is dead on.  I never give any of my real personal info to anyone.  They don't get my real name, real address, real place of work, monger phone # only,  try to park away and walk to them, never give city I live in, what I really do for work, never will I show them an ID or biz card...PERIOD.  Frankly, I've seen just about every lady I've wanted to see.  Once I met with a couple now I had references.  I treat ladies well, I show up clean, and prepared.  I arrive and leave discretely.  I am not LE and I treat ladies well...I have too much to lose personally and professionally to give my personal info to anyone.  AW had the private eye connection to run plate #'s.  That is a pretty rare thing.

I always back up an ad with a review or a reference through backchannel.  If you see prevously reviewed ladies that have a trusted reviewer you are in pretty good shape.

Someday, if I see the need I'll get verified through P411.  That way I'm giving some info to a 3rd party that can't be linked to any particular lady.

I'm sure this ticks off some of the gals...sorry.

good luck and stay safe.

I never give any of my real info nor would I ever use a "service".  I don't care how many promises are given.  Information can easily be retrieved from a deleted file on a hard drive (easy to do), and why should I trust a stranger (sorry ladies) who says they will delete my info later?
(I have heard stories of bribery, etc.)
Heck I just had a gal (she recently posted on here) that she needed me to connect with her on LinkedIn before seeing me.  Ha! Deleted!

Only participating rarely, I can then provide a reference.... if not good enough, I move on.  I suspect (from my experience) that the sharp ladies can easily determine a solid date from a quick conversation as well (email, YM, AIM

I also always do complete searches on the gal, and even sometimes I try to help her out if I find some incriminating information online about her (e.g., she doesn't register her web site with privacy block) - perhaps that alleviates her concerns about me... Regardless I can easily move on if the requirements are too intrusive.

I understand the ladies perspective but please understand ours too....and think about the potential losses given such strict requirements... which you are entitled to.

Useful though it takes a long time to run fully.  

Delete only removes the first letter of a file...  easily recovered.  I clean my hard drive often...  do other things while it runs.  I keep my hobby phone clean.  

I've not had to give my info in a long time.  

This business should always be discreet...  providing from a location easily linked to HER is playing with fire.  If either party is sloppy...  risk increases.
