I saw a provider site recently that offered a public meeting, paid in advance, as an alternative to screening. I'm assuming this would mostly be used in the case of clients that are new to the hobby, self employed clients etc. I think it's a really interesting concept, but probably not as safe as actual screening. Thoughts?

most incall only providers don't drive and unless you will to may for this as well as session most just want there cash and guys want there cum gone.

There have always been some providers who screen that way, and some hobbyists who use that method. However it is not a common method at all. Key word there was "some" providers.

And it serves both as screening and a mid-day teaser for you, it might be more fun than and relaxing than emailing referenced of whatever. But if it has too much the tone of applying for consideration...uh-uh. Maybe if you remember it's a two-way screen, like you're giving her an opportunity to audition for the role of girlfriend, it could be interesting and make the evening fantasy more colorful. Or just better establish rapport and heat up the chemistry.

I connected with a lady who required a pubic meeting.  It was otc per her, and we met for lunch.  She came and went from the biz like the wind, but was spectacular while she was here.  And although I never had that sort of meeting 'before a meeting' before or since, I liked it, thought it was a nice way for both of us to kick the tires, and sort of wish it was more common

plenty of serial killers can get afake id's. what it comes down to is when your time is up your time is up and i feel that is already jotted in a cleneder by man upstairs, i feel you can be a boy in a bubble or worry wart or spend hours upon hours screening, i think if your gonna get abducted tied uo and raped as your final hours thats just your fate, its just gonna hapoen, i dont think you can roevent dodging death and i think going to extremes to avoid danger is stupid,  
 When you look at all the non escorts that got abdudted and killed at knife poijnt in broad day light.
They werent even putting them selves in dangerous situations! They certainly didn t deserve it either.
                  But i think one thing is ineveitable,
 We are all gonna die!
               we can take numerous precautions but a sociopathic ass wipe can pass screenign anyday, Half the guys arent even using thier real names, Fake i.d.'s are more than easily accessable.  
                     I dont think it is safe any way you do it, screening to the gills or none at all. i thoink in this world your just as at odds with meetin a killer walkin down the street in broad day light as you are hookin.
                    I think when ya times is up your time is up, so for me i dont screen dont care, and am excited to see the other side,  
 I am sure its better than here!
 But screening is just a watse of time,  
if your gonna die at the hands of a killer your gonna die at the hands of a killer, Plenty that dont even take any risks do .
                                     i think the more difficult and complicated people try and make hooking the less they will make and the more aggravation they face, If they think it is gonna possibly save them from danger great,
                    I dont think asin a guy for his real name is gonna protect me from shit, I do know i am ready to fihgt for my life every day, but i dont think askin a guy for personal info or lookin him up on a blacklist site is gonna matter, I am also not afraid to die and refuzse to do a dangerous job and actually kid myself it is ever fuxkin safe, screening or no screening  you could die at each time you open the door, i dont care if you screened, Either face it and make a decision if you can handle that lifestyle or get another job.That doesnt involve fucking strangers. Plenty of safer jobs, .

Can't say I could do it in place of screening. OTC meetings yes, I have met verifiable guys just for GP because I am that laid back and not always out to get a buck. But at my discretion and with no expectations other than he picks up the check. I have heard that checking out newbies is why some providers do it but I don't see newbies so I guess o wouldn't know. Haha! However, I do offer social dates now, I get the need some guys have to have a cute chick to hang out with and "date" not always BCD. Too each his own I guess.  

Not saying the public meeting is a good screening method, but the point is there are ways to get around all screening methods if someone wants to hurt you. Whether it's through provider references, real life info, verification sites, etc. Nothing is fool proof. Every gal can only do what makes her comfortable.

It's pretty common I think even if providers don't advertise that they're willing to meet. I do it even though I don't put it in my ad but it is one of those YMMV type situations because if I get a "bad" vibe before we meet then I'll just go back to my stated screening policy. I've met some of my best clients just by taking a chance on some of those shy or infrequent guys and on the flip I met a few dickheads through reviews. It's all a gamble in the end either way, you just have to try to lessen the chances of negative outcomes. I say no matter what go with your intuition and if you're making an appt. with no refs or reviews try to be flexible with the lady you're choosing as far as meeting her where's she comfortable.
