Ask for favorite / recommendation for providers on regional boards in cities you plan to travel to? I know ( read the reviews) . I have read tons. I just want a vets recommendation for a provider they may know in the area that they think a newbie like myself would be the most comfortable around .

...you're a newbie with no review history.  Many will be suspicious that you're LE.

I figured that . that is one the reasons I asked here first. I just didn't want to offend anyone right of the bat. I'm IP of getting my p411 verification so maybe that will help a little.  

If I were the OP, I would not hesitate to post an "iso" on a regional board.

   Yes, there is a remote chance that the gentleman could be le, but that is where the screening process comes in.  I reply to, and visit with newbies all the time, and have never encountered problems.

   Just my .02.

Beauty, the OP is not talking about posting an ISO. He is talking about asking, on a regional board, for the input of experienced hobbyists regarding local providers.

OP, your P411 membership will not help you in this - no hobbyists is going to research your P411 status before answering your questions. Big Papa is telling you that until your name becomes better known on those regional boards, and/or until you have something of a review history, posting questions about providers on Regional Boards is not likely to produce many results. He didn't say you'll never get a response, just that many experienced hobbyists won't answer you, since the possibility exists that you are trolling LE, or a jealous boyfriend, or the wife of a busted hobbyist, or a local provider looking for info on the competitiion (Yes, all those things are possible).

Until then, read the reviews - and write some reviews

....that is what happens when one posts without having sufficient amounts of morning coffee.

You are basically asking another guy to make up your mind for you, and those posts are seen as lazy. But, go right ahead. You will get a slew of PMs from providers trying to get you to see them.

I'm going to guess most, not all, hobbyists first post on TER isn't an ISO post. It's really not that hard to find a newbie friendly provider on your own. Have you checked the regional ad board, or the daily new reviews.  Write a review of your first time and you'll be on your way.
Once you've written reviews, than, hobbyists and providers alike will open up andrespond. Remember this is ILLEGAL.  

However, there are regional boards where providers and hobbyists will respond, and other boards which will be skewered.  

I do not make recs to hobbyists I don't know, or hobbyists with no  review history.  

but my take on this is I will not give you the link to One of my Favs because I do not know you & you have no history or references.  Breaking into the hobby can be hard for both guys & gals.  You must be willing to give up some information about yourself so they can verify who you are.  This is not Match dot com.  You don't need to find "the perfect one"...  if fact there is something to be said for rotating among Favorite providers as it's easy for emotions to run away.  (It's hormonal.)    

It takes a lot of research & yes, you'll need to buy VIP to read the complete reviews to complete your bucket list.  (Maybe not continuously but for a few intervals.)  So you can see why experienced hobbiests might see you as 'lazy' or 'cherry picking'.    

And people have different requirements, attractiveness, height, weight, ranking which services are offered...  How could I recommend for you?  

What I do is use my VIP to add to my TER Favorites those in my area who have caught my eye from their recent reviews.   I do my research & add a note (only I can see) in my Favorites list, so when I am in my play area, my research is ready.   If your VIP expires, you can not access the TER Favorites section but the info is still there when you buy another month, post a review, or update a gal's data by filing a problem report (like her ad expires)...  all of which gets you varying numbers of VIP days.  

By the way...   use a hobby email & hobby phone...  and unless you have no one to answer to, do not access adult sites on company equipment or internet.

than a smoking hot woman agreeing with me? I think not...

IMHO, the majority of us will not give recommendations of our faves to strangers.  It's not that we don't like you, but discretion and safety are the primary concerns of all us involved here.  For myself, I don't like doing research for others.  In addition, we don't know your likes and dislikes or what you are looking for in a provider, i.e., hair color, body type, race, etc.

Preferred 411 is a good place to start, as they will work with you to get you verified, and also allow the provider members to indicate if they are newbie friendly, which is good for someone like you.  Post on your local regional board so people can get a feel for your personality.  That also helps dispel any thoughts that you might be a LEO on the prowl.

VIP membership here is valuable for research on providers.  Without it, you can't read the juicy details in the reviews or see her rates and how the reviewers ranked her.

research for you". TER has a great researchable database of reviews. Just plug in the fields that are important to you and click away.

Some posters take exception to this because there is an In Search Of board, but not all posters read it.  TER allows you to post those types on the region board, so everyone should accept it and not try to enforce their opinions on the subject upon others, after all providers and hobbyists should be more open minded than the general population, oops an opinion.

Thanks to everyone for the response . those who took my post as lazy and trying to get others to do my "homework" for me I apologize. My post was ment more to be about thoughts on the best newbie friendly providers and not giving up links to favorites. I have read what seems to be thousands of reviews on the local board and was just trying to better the odds . so to speak! With a vets advice. Thank again to all.
