I've been here longer than most of you.  Let's just say I'm old enough to remember Paige's (and it's truly stunning Old City location in the late 90s) and when Joy's was new.

I've been out of the game though for a few years and attempting to come back has been quite an eye opener.  It seems most of the popular providers ask for 2 recent references, and sometimes Date Check or p411 info.

First the obvious question: If all the quality escorts are asking for references from other quality escorts how do the good escorts manage to actually see anyone new?

Second question:  I'd also like opinions on the screening sites.  Are they worth it?  Which one is the best one to go with and why?  Would that work as well as providing references?

Thanks for any insights...

it was hard for me to get started again.  Joined preferred 411 and used that for my first recontact and that for the next two and those for the ....etc. I use TER for reviews and to keep up to date, but I use P 411 for references and to get screened and it has worked fine.

I use date check as you see the girls that are verified as well. So we, us guys, know who are legit providers as well. Most of the ladies have their reviews linked as well

Date-Ck is also very good, as is RS2K, although mostly used in the mid west.
Get verified.  It makes everything so much easier

Thanks for everyone's input.  Back when I was traveling to NYC a lot I was a member of P411.   When I those trips stopped, I was surprised to find P411s presence in Philly to be almost non-existent.  Hopefully things have changed in that regard

For the ladies, they no longer allow links to our websites, at least not to the ad site types. So if you search P411 exclusively, your information will be limited. You will no longer be able to 'click' to our websites to find the bulk of our information. I, and many others can no longer include our websites.  
It is, however, still a great resource for references and verifications. Easy screening, and easy contact. Just limited information now.
