I contacted a well-reviewed provider off of an Eros ad this week and she asked me for four (!) references. Really? That was in addition to employer info.

That is a lot...I ask for 2...but i will take one if thats all they can give me...+ the rest..name...etc
We all have our method of screening...if one doesn,t do it...I'm sure another one will

The provider has the right of refusal if you don't follow their screening. If you're not happy with that, there's plenty of other opportunities.  

So why is four a deal-breaker?

In response to three active advertising independent providers I recently supplied screening information via email, exactly as requested by each provider.  Screening information was provided just before or at the start of their local area tours.  Having received no reply within two days, I followed up with a courteous email to each of the three providers, but again received no response.

providers who are lax on screening scream desperate for money to me and put others at risk. not saying that's you, but they do exist and are usually the same ones having to beg for business all day long.  

Hmmm... Sounds a little unprofessional, but for 3 well-reviewed ladies maybe there is a good reason. Have you checked their websites to see if you may have included information that was not kosher- like graphic words or requests for things that might make someone nervous? I never answer emails when someone includes certain things.  

Wasn't meaning to imply you're not smart.  Perhaps you are, perhaps not.  But, just to elaborate, there are lots of different ways girls screen and the number of references isn't the be-all and end-all. A guy could provide employer info, or have a bunch of OKs on P411 and Date-Check, for example. Or white lists here.  Or, if he's a reviewer, you can check with the gals who've reviewed him.  And so on.

The 10/10 talk lately ! Yup it really is that simple. L8r.
