I am not sure what to do or what they want when a provider says she wants "references"? I am relatively new at being a hobbyist and I haven't been to any "big" agencies yet. So far I have used one escort agency, one massage provider, and one independent provider who I have seen several times. What do I do about getting references?? Unforunately, I have been turned down by one provider because the only reference I had was not satifactory enough for them. Any tips would be so helpful??

Check this prior posting.

References are similar to experience.
"How can I get any if you wont give me any?"

The trick is to find one nice gal that doesnt require them. See her a few times until she trusts you. Then ask her if its OK to use her as a reference for other ladies. If she has any professionalism at all, she will say "yes".
Then you can give her number to the other ladies when they need the reference.
She wont ask for detailed info. She just wants to know "Is this guy safe?"
As for the issue about her not thinking the reference was good enough, well, I dont know. If she's so darn picky ask her what would make a good reference.
Does she not trust services?
Does she only trust services?
What will make her happy? Thats the key here. If she is particular she should also be specific.
Your her client, (or want to be). She needs to explain these things to you. Thats here job.

I can't speak for other providers, but in general what I'm looking for is a reference from an independent provider who will verify that you are a client, and not violent.  I say independent, because it is difficult (if not downright impossible) to get a reliable reference from an agency or massage parlor.  I'm also looking for an independent who has been reviewed for awhile to make sure that LE has not set up a site/number and is giving references to themselves.  All I can say is find a well established provider who will not mind giving you a reference after you've seen her.  Hope this helps.

My suggestion is to joim date-check.com (free for 3 months)then from there request the provider you've seen to send in a recomm.thru date-check. You then become a 'Bronze'member(1 provider reference).You can then look up all the providers listed on date-check- many require just 1 reference and others offer their services to all members w/o any references. Hope this helps!

I, too, prefer references from Independents.  It tells me that a potential client is safe, not violent, and is NOT LE.

You might also try some of the reference sites, like Preferred411, DateCheck or similar.

join RoomService2000. It also makes it easier for providers when traveling because they don't have to make a hundred calls to verify who you say you are.  Happy hunting!
