Never underestimate screening. Screening really makes the experience really good for all parties. Instead of avoiding participating in screening, we should all actively participate in it. As a result from that my job its not a job at all 😃.  

screening improves or detracts from a session one way or another.  Whether I was vigorously screened or lightly screened had no impact on the quality of the session.   Its about the connection between two people. Sometimes two people connect and sometimes they don't.  The session is about the sexual chemistry, not about knowing where somebody works or who they have seen before.  Just my own observation in 9 years of hobbying.  Others may disagree.

Everyone should screen everyone in this game. Some very bad things can happen to those who don't screen, provider and hobbyist alike.

But not everyone is good honest and respectful. In my first attempt at this I was robbed. I know a lady that was beaten and raped. Both likely would have been avoided has we each screened. With screening odds of a session going horribly sideways is small, with screening you have no idea what kind a person is walking through that door. LE for an example.

You found the lady that robbed you on BP, right?

But if not Backpage it was something similar. But through screening I have found less then honorable on a great many sites and avoided them, including this one. Most guys on TER do screen through reviews and the like. It was why this and all other decent review sites exists. Even using sites like P411 which prescreen there members is a form of screening. I stand by my statement everyone should screen everyone in this game. Hobbyist and provider alike. Bad things can happen if you don't.

I, and many other providers, can often get the feeling that we will NOT click with certain gentlemen during the screening & scheduling process.  

And I don't believe there's any correlation between the amount of screening and the quality of the session.

Just by judging based on their willingness to be screened. Sometimes it's not about the type of screening but just their willingness to be actively involved in it.  

I don't mind giving out the info, but I am not "applying" for a session, at the first hint of a provider acting like I have to "apply" to see her, I am out of there.

You mentioned you have vouches but in order for the lady to contact your vouches or know more about you I'm sure she would ask you things like your name, e-mail, etc.  The reason I ask is because I'm trying to understanding what you mean by not getting activity involved.

Everything but my real name is already provided in my profile, including dozens of okays.

Oh ok I get it so filling out a screening form would probably spark the feelings of " applying for a date" so you wouldn't do it. I get it, everyone is different.  

I most definitely will NEVER fill out one of those insipid screening forms, I will however provide most any "reasonable" information that a lady asks about me, part of my willingness to provide information is the "tone" in which it is asked. The moment a provider "demands" anything from me is the last communication we will ever have. Or at least the last "pleasant" communication. "GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!" doesn't really count as pleasant, does it? lol

But I have a fair number.  I never ever provide my name.  In addition to WhiteListings etc. I will sometimes provide info of my references (websites, email).  If Provider requires my name or employer's company name, forgetaboutit - ain't gonna happen.  I've only been "rejected" twice in 10 years

whichever name your references know you by because we have to contact them.  

I'm sorry but I am not jumping thru hoops to see a provider...or doctor or dentist or carpet cleaner.
It's a service business and you'll love some people you see and dislike others just as intensely.  
And after moving into medicine after the PD I can tell you some doctors are scarier.  

I said P 411 okays, of which I have dozens.

I can't see myself having a session with a client and I don't know his real name... It's just not smart on my end. Something happens and I'm now looking for "john242" how does that even play out? lol.

Screening easy by giving my board info up front. I have my TER stuff, P411 with 20 something OKs and even DateCheck (when it works) with seven or so provider referrals. So I try to make it easy and hope my date request emails get moved to the short stack. Rarely am I asked for anything else.

I just knew the phrase "insipid forms" was going to be in there somewhere.  

This is a topic that can get many providers and hobbyists "invested."  Clearly, screening is necessary to make providers/hobbyists feel safe and comfortable.

and my reply and sarcasm was to Him.

Leaving the thing of dealing with an agency or an assistant aside for a moment, if the provider does her own screening some communication can happen.

You can have all the personal information you want about me. Come to think of it, you probably already have it. lol

you seem to only be concerned about your side of the process.  There have been some providers that I got a "feeling" on during the screening process that made me decide to pass as well.  There is a buyer and a seller in these transactions.  There are not enough buyers to go around and make all of the sellers happy, and competition happens as a result.  Like any mercantile relationship, a flexible seller (no pun intended) is the one that will usually land the sale.
