How many reviews do you all prefer a provider to have before you'll meet up with her? If you see a great ad of a new or newer provider, what do you look for to help you feel safe meeting her, especially if she has no reviews yet? What are some red flags and green lights for you?

I don't have any strict guidelines when it comes to the number of reviews. It is more of just a gut feeling for me. I will see a provider who only has 1 review if I feel the review was legitimate, and it gives me the essential information I need to know whether I am going to have a great time. I know you can't always tell if the review is legit, but if she has a presence on the internet and the review tells me enough details, then I can pull the trigger. I wish I could be more specific, but I google numbers and check websites and reviews.  

many reviews.  And at least some of those reviews must be by reviewers with a history of well reviewed ladies. I won't see ladies with P411 accounts and no reviews.  
I've broken those rules twice. But, both the ladies were referred to me by guys with a lot of reviews.

Adventurous and in the mood to TOFTT,  then she doesn't need any, but under normal circumstances, three or four.  I usually discount the first one because its often a shill review to get her started, unless its from someone that I know.

What has your experience generally been in TOFTT? Was she what you expected? What did you require at minimum to feel comfortable enough to TOFTT?

I've TOFTT on many occasions. There really isn't a "number" of reviews that I look for. If I like the ad, I'll google her number and email account. If I see she that has multiple of ads with different pictures, then I'm gone. If she responds to my inquires with the "Babe, honey, sweetie" then I'll probably bail.....But it's mostly gut or a feeling I'll get.
But in a perfect world, 3-5 reviews would seal the deal....I know why didn't I say that sooner...lol

...before I take the plunge, tho I have been the first for a few girls that I knew as strippers before they were providing. Oh the sacrifices that I make!  

and I would say it runs about 50-50 on whether she exceeds my expectations.  The real joy of TOFTT is finding an undiscovered gem, and keeping it to yourself for a few weeks and repeating two or three times before she gets "discovered" and starts getting 9/9 reviews consistently, her dance card fills up, and it gets much more difficult to book a time a works for me.  I have had my share of these discoveries, and it makes it worth seeing the clunkers that go with the TOFTT territory, at least IMO.  

I grew up in the hobby world without the internet or TER to guide me.  Therefore, I'm comfortable seeing someone without reviews if I detect good vibes from whatever sources I can find.

Stick to providers with at least 3-5 reviews fromm guys with multiple reviews. TER reviews are not the only reviews, nor only way to research a woman... they are simply the easiest and most direct way.

Being the adventurous fellow that I am, she doesn't need any. Especially, if she has a P411 account.  

This is such an interesting thread. I have been a provider for about a year now and I just received my first review... Do you think it has hindered my business so far?

There are a lot of clients who wait until a provider has a number of reviews. What that number is, is hard to say.  
If you read the newbie board, it could be 5 or 10 reviews by veteran reviewers.  

One review is plenty for me, and if both her pics and her ad grabs me AND I am reasonably assured I am not walking into a sting, IOW someone I find either on P 411 or a TER post or ad, I am more than willing to TOFTT.

If she has a "gut" I am not seeing her, no matter how many reviews she has. lol

I was doing this before I discovered TER, and I can smell bullshit from a mile away.  The only reason I generally stick with the reviewed ladies is the simple fact that they know what's expected of them professionally, while newbie girls will pull crap like leaving after 20 minutes when you paid for an hour, just because you popped once.

It totally depends on who does the review(s). If a too good to be true lady has a few unbelievably great reviews but all those reviews are by individuals with no other reviews or board histories I figure she indeed is to good to be true and pass.
But if a lady has even a single review from a TER member with a solid board presence  I'd have no prob seeing her.

I typically just enter a minimum of 2 reviews (along with other more important criteria).

have solid good reviews.She has to have more than one..preferably 4 or 5 at least. Hopefully her reviews are from guys or gals that have a board presence on this site...
I normally only see gals that have a P411 account.

newbies is that newbies should only see well-reviewed ladies (5 or 6 reviews from established reviewers). Newbies usually haven't gained the experience to spot the fakes, ROB, in it for the money only and how fast can I get him?her to cum so I can leave crowd.  

Should review, just saying. Maybe there should be a different term for it. Shooting blind, maybe? LoL

It really is more of a matter of "taking one for myself" but no one would know what I meant if I called it "TOFM"

You might have luck with said flighty indie girls by doing some DATY after you pop once, so there's no break in the action.

I always tell newbies to look for providers with at least 6 reviews with at least half of them coming from reviewers who have written at least 5 or 6 reviews themselves. I think that is a good rule for newbies. Newbies should not TOFTT.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
