Hi guys, wuz up? I have a question: I'm new at this, meaning that I don't have previous references or anything. I'm a college student(but don't get confused, I have the $$$ to spend on this) You may wonder why I'm attracted to this if am surrounded by beautiful girls in college... well, there's not a real specific reason! I've been into some lingerie modeling shops before, but my experience hasn't been very fulfilling(rip-offs!!!)... that's why I wanna try this out.

   But as you all know, Tampa Bay area is going through a hard time in terms on this... and I don't wanna be arrested or anything, because I heard that LE posted some false ads in eros-tampa.com... anyway, my question(or problem) is this: how the "screening" process of an escort would work for me, if I haven't had previous experiences or anything?

This question may sound dumb or too "inocent", but please help me out!

your age will work against you. You said it yourself, "why I'm attracted to this if am surrounded by beautiful girls in college..."

 Are you telling me I have no chance at all at this?

Based on similar posts from guys your age that I've read, the ladies tend to be more cautious.

  I expect them to be more cautious with me because of my age and lack of previous experiences... but I have to start somewhere! That's why I'm wondering how to... gain the ladies' trust... you understand? Thanks for taking the time and replying... and again, I'm a li'l bit scared with the lately happenings here in Tampa so... I think I won't try anything right now.

you can't get a job without experience and you can't get experience without a job.

I can imagine how you must feel. I had a similar problem getting verified initially because I couldn't provide employer info. In your area, you may have to wait until the "climate" is better.

Good luck!

You do have options. But in light of the Tampa/Orlando arrests, the single smartest thing you can do if you want to see an escort is to go out of town to do it. Can't imagine any Tampa woman who would see a new client under age 30 at this time.
Not the case if you go to Miami, Fort Lauderdale or up to Atlanta for example.
But because of your age, and the recent events, you need to be incredibly up front about who you are, what you do, and will need to pass the provider's scrutiny. If you want more info, and are a TER member, you can private email me here and I'll try and help.  For at least the next couple of months, I would strongly advise any provider in Tampa or Orlando not to see any new clients.

Misterado,
There will always be an escort who will see you. It's just a matter of making some calls and spending a little time on the phone letting a gal get comfortable with you. Make sure the lady you call has a strong TER review record and then give her whatever information she needs to feel comfortable with you.

  Thanks guys for answering... I'll guess I'll have to work a li'l bit more than you to get my 1st date done... but as I explained in my post, I'm cautious because here in Tampa things are not good. I've been doing research here and most of the ladies with good reviews have this disclaimers that say I gotta be 21 or older to "use her services"... is that just crap or it is a fact? By the way, how safe is to use Eros-Tampa now days... after all that has happened?

  Again, thanx for responding!

I would take them at their word. I would shy away from all the Web malls in Florida and stick with TER as your reference. TER has links to the ads, and these are the ones you know are real.

Check out the pics on Eros of Ariel at Sophisticats.
She is very understanding. Awesome boobs. Real sweetheart.
Tell her that Big Anaconda from DC said he misses her.
Look up Kya-Ann on Eros as well.
Big Anaconda misses her too.
Milan of Tampa on Eros is another wonderful beauty.
Tell them that although you're young, you really think they are totally hot, and you need the experience. They are!
Avoid any of the girls who were arrested June 18 since they are risky to see for many reasons. Tell Fla Mod you need that info so that you do not fall into a sting.
That's on the Fla Discussion Board. Maybe s/he's figured out by now that those arrested may be coerced into trading out info.

What if the situation was reversed and it was you WWJD ??

Would you want your personal info posted all over the board ?
I know I would noe like mine posted.

As Moderators we do try to keep "personal information"
off the boards for providers and hobbyists alike for obvious reasons. (I'm sure you all appreciate that, right ?)

Think how posting that info would affect the people
you are talking about first especially since you just said it
so how do I know its True ? Who told you that info ?
If I cant verify it then its just a rumor until verified.
And YES there are alot of rumors being spread in Florida right now so be careful.

So again stop linking to press releases that we have all seen before and if you have some pertinent info / proof of what you said then post it. Otherwise drop the issue...

You don't seem to get it. If I had been a hobbyist and arrested in the sting, my arrest record, photo, aliases, and the like would be posted on the Tampa Sheriff's website, or close to it.
That is not rumor. It is public record, there forever, unless the charges are dismissed or dropped. The Sheriff listed the name and address already of every person arrested and details of all the charges. It is no longer personal information, but about as public as it gets.

This discussion now is also moot. On July 8 the Court in Tampa issued a further order based on additional charges. Those named both the real names and aliases,  so now we know. The State prosecutor's release is posted on General Discussion. TBD's Board now seems shut down tight. A good argument can be made that the new order violates the First Amendment. I outlined that argument in a reply to the Santa Te post, but it is not up yet.

If you can't find it, you are not trying or not understanding the kinds of records that are kept and posted publicly.
The press releases have to be factual or the defense lawyers would have a field day with cross-examining prosecution witnesses. The people arrested are not some rumor. They were arrested, booked, and now stand charged. They have already been affected in a fundamental way. Their names and pictures have been on TV and in the press releases and news. Mentioning their aliases here would simply enable a hobbyist to avoid being set up by that person if she is followed or wired, as were the girls in the Naples, FL case. I'm not there. It's not my problem. But if a hobbyist sees a girl who was arrested, and does not know it, he is risking being exposed. I guess you just do not understand the process. Both of your responses have suggested that you are missing much of what is going on. If you think the material in the three sheriff press releases is just rumor, then think again. That's all I have to say about it. Hobbyists in or visiting central Florida are at great risk now, and TER could alleviate some of that by ID'ing those who were arrested. Personally I would not go near a central Florida provider now out of an abundance of precaution. The Baptist Gestapo is tough and relentless.
