After years of reviewing escorts on this site and others, I've decided to take the plunge...so to speak. I'm moving to a new area in a few months and obviously don't want to tie myself down to any woman here (Philly).

Anyway, I've reached out to a few ladies via e-mail and gotten responses indicating that they require references. Obviously, having never hobbied before, this is impossible for me to come by... thus, the catch 22. I'm wondering what the easiest way to develop a resume is, while still seeing quality women.

Additionally, while I know research is your best way to avoid issues with the police, I'm curious if there are any surefire ways to determine whether someone is legit.

Any help is appreciated!

I am also located in Philly and I have the exact same problem. Can anyone help?

Join one or more of the verification sites, DateCheck, Preferred411, or RoomService2000.  P411 does allow the providers to indicate if they are 'newbie friendly' which is can be very helpful.  The second thing, if you don't already have it, is to get VIP membership on this site.  You can't see all the real important information on the providers' profiles without it.  You need that information to properly research the ladies.

You can search the Philly area for newbie friendly providers.  If and when you find some you like, contact them, make some dates, and ask if they will reference you, either here (whitelist), or on the verification sites.  To join one of those sites, you might have to give up some personal information to get accepted.  That, IMHO, is better than having to do same to several different providers to get a date.

Stick to well reviewed providers that have reviews by seasoned hobbyists with plenty of reviews on ltheir list.  The more reviews she has by veteran hobbyists, the less chance that she is not legit.  You can look on any site you wish, but check the reviews!!!!  There are other review sites, but I cannot name them per TER rules, but TER is probably the biggest.

Finally, read the self help center, link is under the life preserver at the top of this page.

I just moved out of the Philly area to an area that is a tad short on providers lest I head north into Lower NY or even Canada. I do recommend P411 its money well spent, also get the VIP (recommend trustcash) to and check the juicier details for the services you may like. They don't seem to update the actual services page part but do look at the recent reviews of the provider your interested in. And look for newbie friendly providers. I know one in particular that I enjoyed I hope to get the chance to see her again.

..with swimtrekr.  That is the same information I have been given for advice for a new lady starting out too.  Good luck kevin and enjoy this wonderful and fun hobby.  I know I do.

There's a way!  As a relatively new provider, being newbie friendly is kind of important.  So, I've found that I can do a fairly comprehensive background check using only your real name, age, and city that you live in.  I'm really just trying to check out your criminal background and make sure you're not an axe murderer...  

After the background check, I like to chat and get to know you a little bit more, before we meet, to make sure there's a connection.  Hopefully, that will also make you feel more comfortable about me.  And I'm all about giving okays on P411 and Date-Check, because it helps out everyone!

Good luck!!!!
