As far as I'm concerned, if a guy doesn't give you enough information (references, work info, etc.) to enable you to feel safe to spend time with him, then he can take a long walk off a short pier. A provider's safety and well-being should be number one!

That's me!

I admit I'm one of these guys.  I'm not registered with any verification system and I have yet to see a provider...even though I've been on TER for, what seems like, years.  But, I run two businesses so the extreme very few providers I have contacted I've given them my business information.  I was verified once for a date, but it was cancelled due to late scheduling conflicts

and one required employment information.  Obvious retired, self employed, and some others can not give it.  There are alternative methods if the gals want to bother.

Thank you all for the input! I do have a p411 so I have been successful with those who also have an account. I suppose I have never really tried asking for business information. I appreciate all of the love shown to me. Happy holidays all c:
