so I had no idea if Bubba was going to be standing behind the door with a baseball bat ready to roll me.

Yet, I never came close to anything like that.

On the other hand, I have had my car broken into enough times, especially when parked in an urban area as many gals are wont to work in.

So, based on that, I'd say the safest place for your valuables is in your pockets where they normally are, or you could leave some things at home. (But be careful not to let the SO notice that.)

Either way, the odds favor you if you are seeing well reviewed providers.

Ok..... new hobbyist here..... so be gentle

When I visit a provider, what should I carry with me?  I.E. wallet with all my normal stuff, or just DL (for ID purposes)?  Is she likely to ask for the 2nd ID to match my entire p411 name?  Should I carry extra cash??  Should I be concerned about bringing my house and car keys with me?

I'm thinking that since I'll be visiting a gal with a long history of reviews, all should be fine.... but the paranoid freak in me has to ask.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Like ID, and the donation.  I go with what I normally have on me.  If you have researched the provider thoroughly, you should not have to worry about any problems.  Extra cash only if you think you might tip her for outstanding service.

Relax, and enjoy.  If you are worried, then just take what you need.  You will need your car keys if you are driving to her, but you can always leave any other keys in the car.  Otherwise, the $ and your DL should be all you need.  I will add, I have never been asked to show an ID, but that doesn't mean it won't happen some day.

If you have been verified by the gal, there is no reason for ID. Yes, there are girls who ID, but I don't see them.. If they say to me, get your ID... Adios.. My Driver's License has my DOB and Address on it. She doesn't need to know any of that..

I also don't carry my wallet to the incall. My wallet stays in the glove compartment of my car. All I take to the incall is my hobby bag, which has some toiletries for me to freshen up. I am not going to use the hotel soap that was used by last John...Sorry.  Also I carry my own towels and condoms.

As far as the donation goes, I will carry the exact amount that I need to for the session. No less.. You may want to carry extra cash if you interested in extras.. (For e.g.. Some girls will engage in Greek for extra $50 or $100 etc..)

As far as keys.. Yes.. I have my keys with me. Those are my car keys and house keys. There is no security risk there. She is not going to run away with your keys...Trust me.. They are not that crazy... LOL..

You will get different answers from different folks as each one hobbies a little differently - to suit their individual personality.

Good question...I usually only have the donation, my hobby phone, and my car keys on me when I visit.  I've only needed my ID once and I knew beforehand from her reviews that she checked IDs. So, I was prepared with my DL with tape over my last name, address, DL #, only showing first name, picture, and the 4 digits of the DL # that is part of my p411 ID.  It is a good idea to have extra cash in case you hit it off and want to extend your time if that is an option.  Other than that, I would travel light.

your SO or boss that you will be at least an hour late because you are waiting for the police to fill out an accident report after your car was broken into?  In what part of town did this happen?  What on earth where you doing there?

Similarly, in over 10 years of P4P, I've not met with any negative situations.  Depending on how well I know the provider, I may take my slacks (w/ wallet) into the bathroom for my shower."

Relax and enjoy.

No sense tempting fate, after all.

Otherwise, just cash.

I know on RS2K, it states for the gents to being a form of ID, so the lady can verify it's actually the same person. When I was a member, 99% of the time, those gents would have their ID sitting out next to the donation for verification purposes. What I have seen guys do, is they have an old ID that they don't use anymore, & black out EVERYTHING on the ID, except for their name & picture(some would also display birthdate or DL #, in cases of P411 appointments), using black permanent marker.. thought it was a pretty good idea.

with your membership number. If you are NOT on P411, I HIGHLY suggest joining. It is a way for you to give your info to ONLY Gina, and never have to give any personal info. to a provider. Now, some ladies will still require more info. but the site is excellent for newbies, and there are many ladies who will only see P411 members. It is less than 15 dollars a month when you break it down...small price to pay for your security and sanity.

On a side note...if you're having to worry about leaving your wallet in the same room with a provider, you're not seeing the right ones. If you can't trust her not to rip you off, do you trust her not to have an STD? Just sayin.

A business card  and extra cash (just in case you want to extend the time)... If it is a well reviewed, established provider you should not worry about house keys, car keys and cell, they will be safe at her location, I am quite discreet and well equipped with all the supplies needed so just bring the above and you will be very comfortable!

I do not belong and have never had a lady say that to me about P411 or DC. I only see high end ladies and they have always given me the choice of references/white lists OR verification services OR employment verification (which I turn down, except in very few cases). Some have said they PREFERRED a verification service, but when I point out I have numerous excellent references they always say thats fine.

That's your experience, not universal. I know so many providers who do not advertise or have reviews, and will ONLY meet guys directly from P411. They use it as a form of UTR network. This is of course, the exception and not the rule, so I was not suggesting he is going to have an issue meeting providers.

I **REALLY** appreciate all the great input that you all offered a newbie!  This site is truly awesome!  

nahtynikkey ....  I LOVE the idea of using an old driver's license for ID!  That's a fantastic idea.  I recently moved to a different state, so I have an old DL with a pretty current photo.  Perfect!  (Yes, I am a P411 member, and their website says that I should bring ID to the meetings)

I must say that I am a little surprised.... and VERY happy..... to have received so much input and so many intelligent responses.  Honestly, I was expecting significant newbie bashing when I posted this thread.  

I love TER!!

There are other discussion boards on this site where what you expected would have happened. Here is where you can ask without having to go through that. Have fun.
