I'm REALLY new to all this. I'm all about consistency and familiarity. The agencies I've called said they were only taking clients with references. How you supposed to have references when you're new at this? I mean, you're welcomed to call my boss :-p
On a serious note, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

and you will find plenty of information about these.

Also, get VIP so you can read the details in the reviews. When you check providers' web sites, you will find that some will say "newbie friendly". This sometimes appears in reviews as well.

Did you read the Self-help section top right near the lifesaver?

no agency will want to take  a chance. What are you going to do? Bang the girls lights out, which means about 8 pops in two hours, and then make them  work for you? lol

...some may be hesitant when seeing your handle. But I don't think that is an issue really.

Remember you don't have to give out your TER handle if you don't want to.
You can however contact admin to ask to have it changed if you think it's necessary.

The real point though is references. A verification service such as P411 or DateCheck is a good solution.
P411 has providers that indicate they are "newbie friendly" in their P411 profile.

Don't know where you are so this may be different for you but some agencies don't take references. They want to do their own screening. Some accept P411 and/or DateCheck as verification.

I got the handle name from the Aquemini OutKast album, one of their best. Liked the name so it's stuck. Here's a question, which is better, P411 or DateCheck?

Thank you all for the advice

I've been a member of both for years--both have been quality, professional services in my dealings with them.

Each is more popular with the ladies in some areas.  Take a look and see which one has more ladies in the cities/states you care about.  You will find a lot of ladies are on both.

Also, if you care about the Chicago/Midwest area, look at Roomservice2K, a similar site that is more regional.

PS:  Agree thatthe name won't do much to help your cause.

You have a review with an agency based of Atlanta from Aug? Do you think people won't notice this? Nothing adds up here and people on Atlanta know what's going on around us!
