I can't recall this topic ever being discussed before and interested in getting other perspectives on it.  While the vast majority of comments, especially on the Newbie board, always strongly suggest staying with ladies who have a review history.  I'm curious to know what would cause you to take a chance and seek out time with someone who has no review history, no ad history, etc?

100% gut feeling. Although I am looking for a certain trait that I can pick off a picture or how she presents herself on her first ad. I just know. It's always been that way for me.

I would never TOFTT again. In fact I have become extremely fussy about the well reviewed well known ladies I see.

I felt I had nothing to lose, now I know better. I am out as a hobbyist I didn't fear being outed, then a lady outed not only my real name but some other very personal information about me and it was embarrassing. I don't even know who did it. I also was robbed on my very first time doing this. Between the two not again if the lady has not been seen by someone I trust, and they are willing vouch for her discretion no thanks. Never again will I take the chance. It isn't worth it. In fact I almost gave up the hobby altogether after the my private medical information was plastered on the Internet.

Certainly not going to laugh.  I've done it as well on a number of occasions.  I've had the pleasure of being the first client with several ladies.  One in particular who was so nervous that she almost left.  As it turns out, she was very sexually inexperienced.  I made her a deal and she ended up being almost the equivalent of a SB.

I tried to schedule with two apparently new un-reviewed ladies (but both had p411 -- my minimum requirement.)  Neither of them bothered to get back to me (and as of months later, neither still has a review.)

..she was physically my ideal, and she touted that she was extremely girl friendly. I just wouldn't be able to pass that up.

recommendation of a trusted hobby bro, a trusted booker, or some white-hot photos.

Would you still reach out and take a chance and ask?  As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Perhaps. But I'd be a bit more hesitant. It would take that girl friendly aspect to seal the deal for sure.  
I have actually asked a few unreviewed providers in the past if they were girl friendly and they said that they were, but I chickened out. I would have to see her offer that info up first in order to proceed feeling she was genuine.

Good communication via email or phone, not just a few quick texts.
She was "careless" and used photos or phone number that could be linked to a RL person in the same city (probably not fake).
She has a high-end incall (4-5 star hotel or high-end apartment)
and as mentioned before, that gut feeling.

..was with a girl from an agency I use and trust. No need to worry about fake or doctored pics and when she was advertised as PSE I knew I could count on the services. What I couldn't count on (and never can) is how good she will be at those services but when I saw she was Brazilian I knew I was in the clear as every single Brazilian I have ever seen has loved sex and shown it.

imaginary people.... have you read those reviews or their review history? lol  

but I had already set up the appointment.

...and it rarely worked out.

Scoed I am just wondering what are some things that you tend to consider when you are thinking about seeing an unseasoned or novice provider? Also what other criteria would you have to consider since reviews wouldn't be available to you? I am sure that this is a pensive decision as a hobbyist because of the inherent uncertainty of her performance and her demeanor.

When another provider I knew recommended a new provider. I don't go on looks (or photos) because I've been let down before. However, I do have a weakness for spinners. There just is something about those 5 ft tall ladies that make me put aside all logic.

Ether she knew someone I knew, or her ad made me laugh. Personally is very important to me. The one who robbed me as picked because of looks. It was before I even heard of escort reviews, Tineye.com, and didn't think of using Google to check hER out.

Easy answer: special or below-market pricing.

OK, the writer in me had to update the grammar in the subject heading.  

1. Pictures are her pictures and not stolen.
2. Ad in other cities.
3. Has a smile on her face.  
4. Prices are disclosed in the ad.
5. Other stuff I can't post on a public message board. Lot of this stuff is common sense.

exchanges including (not all of these) posts, emails, phone conversations, or recommendations from either providers I have seen or fellow mongers.

Then again, the hosts and hostesses at all M&G's I've ever attended do their due diligence with screening, so it's not really TOFTT.

back in the day when CL was safe ... well, safer, it was all TOFTT sorta as there were no reviews ever for anyone...
so while I couldn't share my experience with others,  it was the same since I was flying completely blind.

I've been known from time to time to take a chance on meeting a lady who has nothing more than a single ad or two.  Having a website certainly helps.  If you're going to be active on the board, that of course increases your chances of being taken seriously.  But I will caution to be thoughtful in your posts and how you communicate because that will give us a better sense of who you are and whether meeting you is worth the risk
