I know this is covered on the newbie board, but I wanted to see what is expected locally.  I just got my p411 account approved, and there was a section for adding an image.  My first inclination is not to add a photo.  However, as a newbie, with no references, would a photo help providers verify me?  
  Thanks

You are already lost. I really need to write a book called "The Hobby for dummies".

I bet you are the cop that tasered the guy because you thought he was drunk and unresponsive, but he was really going into diabetic shock.

You could have just said "I don't like your comment."

Your photo is not needed... Being verified on P411 is a good first step. Now search for newbie friendly ladies in your area and begin establishing your rep by being an upstanding guy, showing up on time,being clean and respectful with the full donation. After your session, ask if she would be willing to okay you, if so, then request the okay through P411. Before you know it, you'll have several okays and the you'll find no problems getting appointments. Of course, I'm assuming you are doing your research here on TER and seeing well reviewed gals.

Good advice Senator. I would add that you don't need whitelist's or OK's. There are plenty of ladies out there that are safe and don't require references. In my enlightened state(previous thread) I will say due diligence is due. Once you have a few Working Girls that will reference you whitelist's and OK's are irrelevant. They are mostly just to stroke a hobbyist ego.  

...but, I think P411 makes the whole appointment/verification/screening process so much easier IMHO.  

...chicks just LOVE dick pics!
