I've just started hobbying about a month ago and have had mostly good experiences, all with providers I found through Craigslist or Backpage.  I've seen so many warnings regarding LE stings, etc, through Craigslist that I'm beginning to be a bit apprehensive about continuing.  I'm not in a New York, Miami or Los Angeles sized metro area, so any suggestions about how I might find relatively secure accomodations would be appreciated.

Well, you found youself here on TER. Why not here?  I started to hoby because of TER.  Thanks TER and all.

Cityvibe, Exotics, Room Service 2000, Back Pages et al. Do NOT see anyone that is not well reviewed on TER!

Avoid CL like the plague! It is the trailer park of escort malls, and LE busts the idiots that use it regularly.

I often put in things like area codes into the filters and see what comes up.

Go to the Review section and click "Search Reviews"

You will find all types of filters.  Select those attributes and areas you want.  I have found it a most efficient way to find someone.

There are also the national mall sites such as Eros and of course, the Local Boards on TER where you may find someone nearby who will travel to you.

I suggest avoid craigslist like the plague.  To easy to get a bait and switch, ripped off, stood up, and a drama queen.  Stick to TER, they do it righgt and I've yet to go wrong with them.  Good hunting and play safe.

That will give you access to the complete reviews on the ladies. Stick with well reviewed ladies to start off. You can TOFTT later, if you want. We'll all appreciate your efforts. You may also want to join one of the verification sites like Date-Check, Room Srevice, Preferred411. With all these options, you should be able to find someone safe near you.

Good luck & have fun.

A VIP membership and plenty of research go along way.

Why would you risk anything on CL?

Try searching your area (or close proximity) by area codes.

just be sure that whoever you decide on is well reviewed here at TER by people who have done multiple reviews themselves. Where that provider advertises is largely irrelevant if they are well reviewed.

As many well known providers on the boards here have indicated, they sometimes advertise on CL from time to time.

The point is that your search should only start with CL (if at all) but certainly not end there. No matter where you start searching (CL, Eros, etc..) always end at TER. And nothing wrong with starting at TER either. Aside from using the search function, if you have a feel of trust for a well known poster who is in your area, click on his reviews to see who he has rated high. Or do the same for several locals who have each reviewed a bunch to see who they have reviewed in common with high marks. If it turns out the provider website link is to a CL ad, at that point it should not be a concern.

But be sure to sign up for VIP and read the reviews. Merely looking at the numbers is not enough.

Too often we leave that important part out. Read the entire review. The numbers are only a guideline to tell you if you should continue on.
