I start looking at the new reviews and the first one is a "double-newbie"--a guy's first review of a provider with no prior reviews.

It is amazing, especially given the present economy, that some guys spend their money so unwisely.  

Anyone taking the time to do some reading here should know:

1) Start off seeing only well-reviewed providers until you "earn your hobbyist's wings"--meaning some common hobbyist sense.

2)  If you are going to take a chance on a gal with no reviews, only see one who does incall.  Once you clear screening if she does it after her door is closed, then you can verify what is on her menu and for what price.  If she will not meet your needs, walk out, perhaps giving her a tip for her time.  (This can be anticipated by telling her during the phone call/email that if her menu does not provide what you need, you will not feel obligated to pay her fee.)

By inviting a "provider" (not accurate in this instance) into your home, you take the chance that she has a driver/enforcer with her.  Even if she is alone, she now knows where you live.  How much sleep will you lose wondering what she might do if you have shoved her out the door without meeting her monetary demands?

3)  A VIP membership here is cheap insurance.
