I have been off TER for 5yrs and was wondering when searching  for a date is TER the only place you shop? If she does not have reviews  here do you pass or would you consider other review sourses? Do most of you have VIP  or do you just read  the general  details ? If someone does not have VIP can  you not pm them? If they write a review  do they  the hobbiesr get 2 weeks time  of VIP to contact them ? Thanks  in advance

Me personally I shop else where but always come here to do my homework before buying. If no reviews here will look for them at a local site, thank you Victoria for turning me on to it. VIP membership is a most I like to know all I can before buying and the juicy details give you that, only problem I have is sometimes I just don't like to get to graphic with details but that's what you need to get approved. 2 weeks per review written as for PM I do not know. When do we get to see some new pics Vic?

on BP.  Mostly closeouts, end-of-season, and irregulars mind you. Occasionally there's a good clearance sale. I don't recommend it though. It's risky if you don't know what you are doing. It's not for the average joe, but I have done very well thank you very much.

For first run merchandise, whether custom order or off the rack, I go with personal recommendations and networking. I have met so many fabulous, gorgeous, charming, sexy local ladies that I have yet to spend time with, or enough time with to shop reviews for something new. Besides, in my old age, I find myself far more stimilated by a womans spirit than her other charms. You can't tell that until you've met.

I also now completely avoid mechandise found in traveling road shows and special one-time offers, no matter how unique. There is just no time. I Shop Local!!!

If I grow weary from shopping, I may refresh myself with a spiritually uplifting time at the Goddess Temple. That could keep me busy for a couple of years.

Now if I feel REALLY randy and want to get way twisted hot with no thought as in my younger days, I just may spend some time in the strip clubs and help turn out, uh, er, I mean, facilitate a career advancement of a struggling young stripper, helping new merchandise to enter into the mart of competative commerce that we call the hobby. That's just effin delightful!

I like to check the reviews to see the names of the hidden treasures I have enjoyed pop-up with their first, then second and third review knowing they on on their way to a MUCH BETTER way of doing business as they are "discovered."

The best thing about it all is I show no reviews, have no name, and an gleefully under the radar. Heck, I'm not even a "hobbyist!"

By the way, has anyone seen AZ Candy Cane? She was supposed to be coming back from the midwest a little while ago.

Victoria, some good questions and I would be interested in other Hobbyists responses, so I will supply mine.

TER is absolutely the best information sources for information on Ladies and
likely is the same for information about Hobbyists.

When I first started  Hobbying; almost four years ago, I didn’t even know about Reviews and was VERY adventurous. (That is how I met you Victoria!) During the past six months I have stopped seeing “Unreviewed Ladies” (including other Review Sites) as I had a string of wildly successful “discoveries” and didn’t want to “press my luck.” I have just this week ventured forth into “the land of the unreviewed” and it was NOT a really good experience. Back to being not so adventurous, so yes NO REVIEWS and I will “pass” on a unreviewed Lady.

I do consider other Review Sources (Provider Report, PHXASP and P411) but there are so many excellent Reviewers here on TER I weigh their opinions VERY heavily. Would love to be made aware of any other sources; at least as far as Phoenix ladies are concerned.

Can’t imagine NOT being a VIP and can’t understand why a Lady wouldn’t as well. It makes the verification of a VIP requesting an appointment a snap for the Lady.

Don’t know if I can PM non-vip’s. Never thought about it. I believe, with very rare exception, I only use PM’s to respond to PM’s I have received.

Not sure I clearly understand what you mean – “If they write a review do they the hobbiesr get 2 weeks time of VIP to contact them ?”

Hope this will get some Hobbyists started with responses that we can all learn from.

I am a serious plotter and planner. I frequently start my shopping expedition 2 or 3 months before my intended trip. I shop for entertainment in many places. On a regular basis I will peruse P411, Date Check, Eros, City Vibe, and local review sites of the city of my planned visit. I will read the reviews, board posts, advertisements, and website content of the ladies that peak my interest. I backchannel often with other respected hobbyists, sharing information and experiences.  I have one rule that I stand by, I will only see TER reviewed ladies. The only exception to that rule is if I get a recommendation from a very well respected hobbyist, or provider.

I have an ATF that knows me very, very well, and has given me the “heads up” on many of my most memorable experiences. Unlike many providers that want to keep their clients for themselves, she thrives on sharing her friends and acquaintances’.

I have had and maintained VIP from the very beginning of my short hobby life, and I can’t imagine how anyone can make an informed decision without it.

When a hobbyist’s review gets posted, their account will be credited for an additional 15 days of VIP.

I have been extremely lucky and successful, with my hobby experiences. I feel that there has to be some spark or connection during an adventure, and I try to know as much as I can about my prospective date before we meet. I am convinced that the key to wonderful journey is research, research, research, and TER has been a terrific tool to accomplish that end.

I always start with TER if they are reviewed I will check their websites to see where else they may be reviewed.  I am a member of Date Check and NR.  I have been very fortuante and have never had a real bad experience, and most have been great.

I check TER, and two other boards.  Also, Eros, but them with a grain of salt.  I kinda have a few, on my list to meet and see.  As far as locals go, I just have a few regulars, that I see.  I, still, have a few on the bucket list.  Mostly found on TER.  
I don't have TER PM, so I either e-mail or call. I have had very few problems, with B/S or C/D.
I guess, that I'm a very pickey shopper.  
Short version:  I see someone I like, keep seeing them.
Good Topic, Vic

You found me years ago on PHX 411  now that was a one of  a kind ...great site I sure miss it  !
