When providing references, do you have a staple 3-4 that you use regularly?  
Or do you use the most recent and back track from there?  

to give me a white list referrals or Date-Check referrals (whichever they prefer...or both) and never have to bother them again.  

I'm a member of P411 and D-C, with a dozen OKs on each, plus a bunch  of reviews and White Lists here.  I don't get asked for references.

 But most girls I contact through TER, don't even ask me for referrals. They already know who I am

and I almost never get asked for references either, I am a member of p 411 though and that is a huge help.

Truth be told, I don't like bothering women I've seen for references, OTOH I don't really mind giving out my personal info, just as long as it isn't via one of those insipid forms. I don't "apply" for pussy. lol

and just like my fellow blabbermouth Inicky, most TER ladies already know who I am. So if they still want to see me, their standards, almost by definition are rather low. rofl

the site not to be named then lol  

When I lived in Atlanta it was completely unnecessary, and even outside of Atlanta I was a mod here for years, and I didn't have to jump through many hoops to get screened. All I had to do was send a PM or make a post disappear and then reappear to prove who I was. Pretty neat, isn't it? Or maybe I should say "Wasn't it?" lol

a known presence on the boards... Does not work for the average guy, just browsing the classifieds/ad

There are some advantages to being a blabbermouth here. lol

New clients get 90 days and 3 times to use me as a reference.  
I had one guy use me for a reference twice in 90 days then a third time 6 months later.
Since I couldn't recall who he was, I didn't give the provider the go ahead.
He sent an email asking why me I said no.  
Needless to say that it was not a nice email and he was put on my DNS list.
 

I thought I was bad at saying 6 months, maybe a year if they had been regulars...

I've been a member of Room Service 2000 for many years and also DateCheck.  RS2000 is very popular in my region, so most providers won't see clients who aren't members.  So far, the providers that I've seen were satisfied with those services and didn't require any additional provider references.

Not that I would ever see her in the first place, but sheesh, what a bitch.

Truth be told, I don't really like to bother ladies that I've seen, but haven't seen lately, just to ask her to help me spend my money elsewhere.

I know men do like different women for different reasons... I am totally ok with their variety needs.  

Most the time I use P411 or D-C, and it is not an issue--they can check whomever they want off my list of OKs.  When a lady wants specific references I tend to use a small number of references, generally ladies who know me quite well.  We may not have seen each other for a while, but we stay in touch enough they are comfortable with vouching for me.

I once used a 4 year old reference and it was accepted.

I know that isn't the norm and I wouldn't expect ladies to give or accept a reference that old, and wouldn't recommend hobbyists to try to use an old reference, but it did work for me. We were all totally honest. I asked the first provider if she would give a reference for me even though it's been so long. I asked the new provider if she would accept an old reference. The reference giver gave a good reference but definitely made the new lady aware that it had been a long time, so it was up to the new lady to accept or not and she did. (oh and the lady that gave the reference...I only saw one time)
