I set up an account on the verification site the community likes to use.  It has made things very convenient.  Now that I have a few ok's, screening has turned into a non-event.

As I've paid more attention to this site, I have realized that it is used as an ad board for many ladies.  I am not sure I have this exactly correct, but it seems like a lady with post her profile (with no other obvious ads out there) when she is looking to meet new friends.  Seems like an added benefit of the site.  However ...

I have met three providers off this site with no reviews.  In each case, I went for it thinking that since they had a profile on the verification site, all would be good.  That turned out to be the case, but in two of the situations, I came to realize that the ladies in question had review profiles that are no longer active.  I don't know how this all works, but that is what they said.  One lady in particular mentioned she had dozens of reviews before she had her profile removed (for whatever reason).  It actually killed my mood.  Huge numbers of reviews turn me off (no disrespect to anyone).  Had I known, I would not have made the date.

So, is my experience typical?  How do I not find myself in the same situation again?  If a lady has no reviews, is it fair ground to ask if she has had a review profile in the past that is no longer active?  Seems like a question I shouldn't have to be asking.  Thanks to all who provide some insight.

to how good her performance is.  In any case, there is no way to find out, excepting she tells you, if a gal had a profile on TER at one time or not, so don't bother worrying about it.

 
As long as she has about 6 good reviews spanning no more than a couple of years, you should not have a problem.

Is to see providers with published reviews. Plain and simple.  

There are reason why a provider has no TER reviews, besides being new. I won't go into a long explanation. Some have been removed by TER and others are done at the request of the provider.  

So again just stick to providers with published TER reviews written by veteran reviewers and you should be ok.

That when I first started I was a little confused as well. I initially didn't want to see anyone that didn't have any reviews but I soon learned that these providers often do not link to other review sites. I have on occasion asked them if they have had an reviews and that may be the only way to find out. Sometimes using their p411 user name in a TER search is helpful.

I hate when I read that on a provider's web site. Without reviews, how am I to know if BBBJ/CIM is on the menu? The provider certainly will not post those details on her web site.

...you stated. There is another side to this however and that is the providers that have something to hide like poor reviews due to poor service. There are other reasons for providers not having reviews or wanting them such as they were not completely honest in their dealings with clients.  

 
I just wanted to point out the other side of the issue.

As they say, patience is a virtue.  I'm trying, a little anyway, to learn from the vets like Gaga who learned through experience and patience that you can get many of your answers by reading reviews.
But yeah, if she's not reviewed, doesn't advertise, not a lot you can do.  Either ask her anyway which she'll hate, or move on to the next one

to prevent inaccurate information getting out there that might confuse a newbie.

There is a reason we have two eyes.

...You'll be missing out on some of the best providers if you limit yourself to providers who have less than "dozens of reviews."  Just sayin'.

...if huge number of reviews bothers you, when you contact them mention, "oh, I saw on TER you're New to This, no Reviews, I can Break You In, wink wink, hint hint" lol..hope she plays along.  At the end of the day, we all know what this is right?  

So if you or anyone else doesn't want reviews, you're in the wrong place.
And you keep repeating you're new to this site, not the business but you persist in giving out incorrect information.  So feel free to keep doing that and we will FREELY correct you.

Neither should you be allowed to constantly and intentionally give bad, and potentially dangerous advice here on a board dedicated to steering Newbies in the "right" not "wrong" direction.

 
Say what you want on the GD board and we will have fun batting you around like a badminton shuttlecock, but you need to quit doing it here.  I know you don't LIKE the advice we give here, mainly because it's contrary to your own self interests since you are NOT a "well reviewed" provider, but that's simply tough shit. Newbies should NOT be seeing providers such as you until they have a LOT more experience, and IMHO not then either. Your claims to the contrary not withstanding you are NOT what any of us would call a "reputable" provider, the very best descriptor you could hope for in all honesty would be "questionable" and I find that VERY generous in all honesty.  Only well reviewed and reputable providers should be giving advice her, providers like you should be asking how to become "well reviewed and reputable".

 
For the record, the same thing applies to the guys, newbie clients shouldn't be giving advice here either, and newbie mongers who insist on giving bad advice are rebuked the same as newbie TER providers

You have a history of giving terrible advice and you have several posts, along with an attitude, that shows you don't care about the guys safety here.

 
I know you won't agree, as you seem to argue everything with people who have more experience, but we look out for the inexperienced people here to keep them out of jail and to advise them properly in other areas of p4p, as being new can be very problematic in this realm.

 
You really shouldn't be posting on this board as you clearly don't know what you are talking about because you are so new and so uneducated about so many topics.

 
But if you continue to post self serving and dangerous advice to others, you will be called out on it, each and every time.

 
Lastly, don't worry about about "more important things" we could be doing, as many of us believe keeping people safe here is worth the time spent.

It's all about perceived risk.  As was pointed out, if you are new you should definitely stay away from ladies with no reviews.  It's just a good course of action.  For self preservation's sake.    

As far as a lady having lots of reviews turning you off - well that's your own business.  But I would argue that consistent good reviews are a prime indicator of something important - consistent good service.  That goes without saying.  And in this business a sane, safe, stable, customer focused, strong performer of a provider is worth her weight in gold.  Whether she is high or low volume can probably never be truly known - and even what "high volume" means is endlessly debated around here.

Much like restaurants - reading reviews, doing your homework, networking with like minded friends, and knowing what's on the menu helps you optimize your time, money and enjoyment.  You already know basically what to expect when you dine there.  There are no guarantees in life, but there is a very high probability your experience will be like other patrons and you will have a nice time.

But some folks also like the thrill of finding that restaurant that nobody knows about yet.  The one that has the dish you have been craving and it is flawlessly combined with absolutely stellar service.

When you are new, like anywhere else - read a lot, ask questions, and listen to the crusty vets that have seen it all.

And then by all means - hobby the way you like.

Just don't get food poisoning.

Not really sure what your asking or what exactly seems to be the issue.as far as p411 you can be on there with or without reviews as you've already noticed.

Killed your mood? As someone already stated if having many reviews is a problem then I'm surprised you would even be into seeing providers at all. Just because a lady doesn't have pages of reviews doesn't mean she still hasn't fucked hundreds of men.

But if it makes you feel better then hey ignorance is bliss.
