I was entertaining the idea of joining Preferred411, but kind of got the vibe that it was just another "membership to something".

How beneficial do you feel Preferred411 is and how often do you use it? (ladies and gents)

How safe do you feel it it? (ladies)

Any suggestions?

Thank you all!

I joined P411 and Date-Check.
I use Date-Check more often and prefer it.
You may want to wait to hear the ladies opinions.
I'm curious also.

with respect to being a member of both.    IMO, it's a win-win.  I have more confidence in the quality of the ladies and, with my references on each, screening is never an issue.

But I lean more toward P411.

i don't subscribe to P411 but i've heard good things about it.

i do subscribe to Date-Check and have found it very useful. so i think such services are fin and have value.

the thing is that the value they have increases as the number of ladies you see increases. that comforts a lady considering seeing you for a visit.

I have let my P411 membeership lapse, but Date-Check I have kept up to date. I REALLY like the way DC lets you screen, and P411 is great too.. I just think in Georgia, DC is more popular. If you entertain lots of out of state or NE gents, then I think P411 is a definite GO!

I am more likely to trust a system that is a pain in the ass even if it's for my own good, if ya know what I'm sayin'.

FWIW, I have Date Check, worked great for a smooth screening for my last date.

All depends where you hobby

Boston 100+ providers
Texas 1100+
NY     250+
CA     550+

I think they are both useful.  I know I would feel comfortable with a client using either, both is a bonus too.

I use P411 frequently. Daily, at least. Date-Check, on the other hand, I use less than once every two months. I'm based in Dallas, and most of the clients I see/meet through P411 are from around here or other areas in the south or great plains areas (or Colorado). Do a search on P411 for ladies in your city/the area you'll be in. If there are few signed up, it probably won't be worth it for you. If there are a bunch, however, then I'd recommend it.

I agree with Carrie on this, and I've been a P-411 member for over three years now (as a hobbyist). I've visited with 5 different women in the Ft. Worth area (also listed in Dallas), and with only one exception, they've all been fabulous. Because it's the "Big-D" area, there are literally hundreds of providers listed, and a good bet you'll find someone you enjoy!

Since I live in Wisconsin, and there are only about 35 ladies listed, it's kind of slim-pick'ns in this area, but as Carrie said, the site is great for finding who you're looking for. Good luck out there!
