that has been debated on this site. I prefer independents, however, newbie clients may gravitate towards agencies as the screening process for them is less rigorous most of the time. It seems most escorts after they transition from agency to independent are very pleased. Good luck with your decision.

a late change in plans (lady has something come up and has to cancel) I have learned to have a plan B ready if needed.

Independent ladies are more apt to be flexible with their time.  Depending on the chemistry, I like to end the date gracefully rather than rush to get showered, dressed and out the door.

With most escort services, there is a phone call 10 minutes before the time is up and you have to hurry out the door.  Appointments are scheduled close together when possible to maximize income.

Have never used agency.  There are too many indies out there to go thru an agency and know that the girl is only getting part of my donation.  Rather know that she is getting all of it.

I do realize that some girls find using an agency is easier than doing all the booking and screening themselves.

I think you made the right move, FWIW.

and when they get busted, your personal info is now in the hands of LE.

That's not something I like to think about.

Good luck to you.  I'm sure you will find it most rewarding in many ways.

And based on the mess in Phoenix with the agency busts there over the last year or so, I am very glad I did not see any of the agency ladies I'd had my eye on....

Good luck as an indy!
