Nobody wants to give any verification information whatsoever. Are you all LE or just expecting a provider to meet with you on no info???  Glad I'm not here for a real tour. Have never had such a situation in any other city. Disappointed...

well, no possible appointment is worth sacrificing my safety.

...Real name. No. Company name. You must be kidding. Work phone#. See Ya.  

Hopefully you'll get some guys from there. Although I find New Yorkers very unique, I had no problems on my first trip there in late Feb of this year. I expect you'll get some guys who wait until a few days before, or even day of, I feel the ones who truly want to meet you with give you what you need to feel comfortable meeting them. Don't panic if you visit isn't until a week or so away. There are some really great guys in NY!

Overall I never had a issue with screening people in NYC however I don't see a lot of people in NYC like I do in other cities and it could be due to my screening methods so I've been told.  

I hope you decide to come to this great town. No place in the world for better Pizza, Bagels and so many other great foods.  

I make sure i have TER Whitelist and/or P411 OK's when meeting a provider for first time.  If she doesn't have any of those and ask for employment info then no i wouldn't even ask for appt so yes i do value my personal/private info.

current reputable references
personal information
P411, TER WhiteList & Date-Check

i don't ask for a lot. Can't get references, a name, membership verification, phone number, email, nothing. Emails with no name  and no other info, a phone call or text with nothing but first name, etc..

Yes,  i've had a visiting ad on there for two weeks.

I'd be ecstatic and pleased with references...couldn't get any from anyone....wth. Love the direct email from p411, datecheck...makes it a lot easier for all of us.

References from other providers are especially good and appreciated. Yea, just give me those and I'll be happy.

You DONT screen? ANYONE?

I learn something with the years of experience that my intuition is by far my best friend.

..be glad you aren't seeing them.

"The way someone talk, the vocabulary is using and the demeanor are better than any type of verification.  
My woman instinct always tells me what to do."

I really hope that you don't meet LE or someone dangerous. Ted Bundy was apparently very charming but yet again liked his women bludgeoned to death.

If we are white listed on TER that should be enough one would think.

Nyc is a great hobby town. We can be last minute though. You will get the legit hobbyists with white list, references and p411. Hopefully you are not requiring more than that from experienced hobbyists. Of course newbies require addittional work. And they should expect that. You have great credentials so you should do fine, but understand July and August  in NYC can be slow at times with vacations,and weekend get aways. But there's plenty of great shopping, shows and restaurants to keep you busy.

I initially came in for a private party. Just thought I would look to see a few more clients while I was here. No biggie. I do well in Vegas and other places. Take care New York.

Is something I will do, and it gets a positive response back over 90% of the time.  Since I also screen carefully by reading recent reviews, attending M&G's, and thus know a large body of quality ladies, I've never had a negative experience in regards to providing screening info to reputable providers.

Personally for me whether you have so many whitelisted references or OKs on P411 I reach out to the two most recent references. Sometimes the references are months ago or even a year apart from each other. There was one time a guy tried to book with me using his whitelist references, after reaching out to them one actually gave me the no-go saying she doesn't even know how he got whitelisted from her because she wouldn't recommend him at all. Also, many hits on verifyhim also came back bad. I don't believe in screening guys through work/personal information, I surely don't want you knowing my information. So, I would you suggest you stick to screen and don't just bank off of references on verification sites. Actually hear from the people that have seen him recently.

She has insulted hobbyists on the DC & Chicago board in the past.

Why would you not screen "formally?" You don't care about your well being?

And please, stop with this nonsense that you screen less formally. Using "tuition" is bullshit and not screening at all. If it was "obvious" you screen, we wouldn't be having this convo. It's "obvious" from your OP you DONT screen.  

"Formal" screening takes, what, 5 minutes tops? I agree with JackD, you have a lot to learn. Please stop posting before you further embarrass yourselves..

Often personal information only did not provides enough insight on person"s character if it is reputable professional with somewhat public name - then risks are mitigating, yet if personal information let say construction worker or some one who is free lancing with company in India - what a help then his personal info? He is not bound by public reputation to be nice and as a rule, in 95 percent - if he not proffessional and new to hobby - there be soooo much out of rules incidents even to talk over emails - that I just do not proceed to booking - even he is ready give deposit - those people do not know where to stop and where drew a line.

It really isn't difficult, is it?  BTW, we have a big next next meeting coming up soon...

Really?  Well aren't you the smart one! Wtf....your advice sucks ass baby girl. Op PLEASE do NOT listen to this woman.  Absolutely screen.

I just quoted you from your own post! Now I'm "attacking" you and you "have misspoke"?

...is why while refs are great they should be taken with several grains of salt.
