I'm new to this type of entertainment and I'm having a hard time getting an appointment set up. I've emailed back and forth with a provider and had a date and time set up and then she asked for my references. I asked what kind of references she was looking for (knowing what she meant). She replied saying any lady I've had an appointment with during the last year. Well I'm a newbie, haven't been with any providers yet, so I don't have any references. I'm assuming at this point the deal is off. Most of the other providers I've checked out all require the same thing. I understand the reasoning but how does a newbie over come this issue?

joining P411 that will help. Also you might want to have a few sessions with Massage ladies, SOMETIMES they are not too worried about references. Get a few reviews written, and that will help.

alternative screening methods that are more newbie friendly.  

Many guys have pointed out how they could get references if providers don't see newbies...Relax! Many gals are newbie friendly but be prepared to provide work info as well as you personal info and a DNA sample (just kidding)..On a serious note... getting P411 or Date check helps, but keep in mind that every lady is different and her requirements of info may be higher, just connect with a couple of well reviewed, well established newbie friendly ladies and see where that takes you.. Even posting on the "in search of" board may get you a couple of answers...

It seems like you're stuck. Me too.  I don't have a girl to deal with but I do have a "relationship."  Your provider is all screwy in the head.  You don't need an honest gal to give good advice. Don't be passive about wanting to get laid.  If you really want references, I will try. Am I supposed to put a 'feeling' face?
