i am always surprised when i see on a lady's website the requirement of identification including drivers license,  linkedin account, business phone etc ....   do any guys really give out that info??.   i certainly didn't even when i was single.  and how does that help unless the guy is on a sex offenders police list ??  

I'm a Bay Area full disclosure monger who primarily sessions with fiery spirited kgirls.  I provide my name and I've got a profile on Google with pics.  Plus I've got at least five POs and just as many singing birds who'll vouch for me.  Never been burned in 30 + years of mongering.  Call me lucky?!  Just my style...

It's completely beyond the boundaries of this interaction to request or provide that info.  I suppose they feel it provides ammunition in case the interaction didn't go well, but of course also provides ample opportunity for nefarious activities, extortion, blackmail, or leverage if facing prosecution.  You think the girls will provide their personal info so you can out them to family and friends? Of course not. Nor should they.  These requests may also be coming from the third parties, ie the pimps or managers, who turn it into a business of itself, a racket. Discretion is an essential dimension to this hobby.  The joy of this hobby derives from the exercise of absolute freedom, and what enables such freedom is the absence of strings.   There are plenty of other methods for screening these days that are commonplace and most girls use.

Much of the full-ID screening requests come from the 20-something Twitter universe providers who consider most to be morons unless you fully agree with their view of the world.  Nothing misogynistic here, but the truth is that many of these ladies are inexperienced and often immature.  Yet another reason to never provide ID copies, etc.  A few months back I wanted to set up a date with a young hottie who wanted all of the info.  It took some time but she finally agreed to accept references from some of my other provider friends.  It was a dinner date and a few more bucks so that, most likely, influenced her decision.  When the night ended, she left my hotel room in early morning hours only to text me back 10 minutes later.  She was upset that her uber ride home was going to cost $194.  I looked at it as a money grab and ignored the text although I felt uneasy as I suspected she was still around the hotel.  Thirty minutes later she texts back to apologize.  When she first tried to set up the uber ride home, she input the name of the hotel correctly but had the hotel's city and state info. incorrect!  I wasn't about to ask how that was possible.  Not sure I would every be comfortable trusting someone like that with my personal info.  There are simply too made other intelligent and attractive ladies out there to take the risk.

She could be Gal Gadot and her twin sister. Still no fucking way I'm showing them my driver's license or any other personally identifiable information.

I figure, whatever makes them comfortable. If I thought I could be RUINED, I wouldn't bother at all. But, I can understand different points of view.

Was a time when I saw 20-somethings (very rare nowadays cos flake quotient way too high). Were a few times when client arrived and I was concerned whether he was of age & so had to see his ID before proceeding. Mama don't need that sort of trouble! lol

She flat out told me I was the kind of client she HATED to have to screen, actually I am one of the easiest mongers in the world to screen so I asked her why. She replied "because you are blackmail proof" She went on the say "There is NOTHING I can use as leverage against someone like you because you are already "OUT""

A number of years ago, I received an email from a provider whom I'd never met.  She and I had tried unsuccessfully to schedule a date a few months prior.  Anyway, the email was sent to about ten guys and I could see all of their email addresses including a few that were work accounts showing their real names.

...but that doesn't mean you must comply.

there are certainly nicer ways to say "NO" other than GFY, but sometimes I forget what they are.  

I will sometimes say "PLEASE, go fuck yourself" when I am in a really good mood. lol

...I have had a few providers ask for a pic, usually to verify my gender. I'll usually send a body shot. No way I would ever send DL or LinkedIn type data to anyone. Altho I believe that most don't have malicious intentions, all it takes is one to ruin someone's life.

So glad she stood me up years ago. I dodged a bullet from this psycho and I'm glad the truth about her finally came out.

what a coincidence after talking about this ...  a stripper from Dallas  ( i am in LA)   texted me to confirm our "meeting" monday .. i go who is this, no but send me a picture.   she wants mine first .. well sure why not just a head shot.....   anyway .. she goes this isn't you .. i say yep it is ..  she then sends me photo of a Texas guy drivers license ..  with all the info on it ... i go .....  well you confused me with someone else.   she doesn't  believe me .. i point out my phone is a CA area code ..    i dont know who is the bigger idiot ..  her or the guy.
