So I'm new to this, trying to get started and just have a question. When a provider says they are "newbie friendly", should this raise any red flags? The person I am considering is well reviewed on this site. Any response is appreciated, thanks.

However, it does mean that her screening is probably lighter than many providers.  This is the kind of lady you want to see when starting out.  If she is well-reviewed, then you should be good to go with her.  Read the self help center on this page if you have not already done so.

Sounds good, thanks.

she has to go about it a different way, that is all. It actually is a bit more personal when he is a newbie without any references or referrals from anyone verifying who he is. No matter who it is, just because she is 'newbie friendly' does not get you out of screening, trust me. At least, I can speak for me only. I am just willing to see gentleman 'new' to the hobby, that is all it means. You don't have to have a plethora of references from other providers.
