I look at P411 first, either the visiting ads for my city or all the ads for a city I'll be visiting and pick the ones I'm attracted to. My next step would have been to skim their reviews. In some cases, I still can. (i.e. Some have relocated outside the US).  

I'm see a combination of repeats and new women. I have seen a few of new ladies since the changes and all were great. I'm really not worried about the pictures not being accurate. If they aren't, I'll just leave. However, in my seven plus years on P411, I have yet to see anyone from the site who wasn't just like her pictures.  

Now, the performance thing is more of a risk without reviews, but I've found there are certain tells that can help in this area. So, I'm not that worried here either. Bottom line: not much change in my enjoying this lifestyle.

Many of the ladies I see are agency girls and don't have individual websites, so I have told the agencies when they get new girls to let me know.  I have also been seeing a few more indies, mostly the ones that post on the various boards, especially the SoCal boards.  I use my provider references to book, not my CDL handle, or I would most likely get crickets.  Lol      

 
I have to agree with you that its like TOFTT half the time I see a new girl, so I have been spending a larger amount of my time with regulars.   TOFTT has always been about a 50-50 proposition for me as far as the potential for disappointment, and that's a pretty big percentage of bad experiences to try to shake off. But without the research capability, what are you going to do?  I'm still trying to find the sweet spot between new girls and regulars given this new low-information environment we are in.  

Pre-internet you never had an opportunity to see the girl who was coming to visit you much less read any reviews on her. I started a new profile on P411 so am technically a new girl on their website however I have several reviews under my previous alias. I imagine it would be fine to request a link to a girl's previous reviews after starting a conversation with her but it will be up to you to go find them. You'll need to use TOR (see my post on general discussion) to get to them. Good luck, be safe and trust your gut. If you listen closely t'will rarely steer you in the wrong direction.

I updated my favorites list to include about 30 providers in a 100 mile radius that I found interesting.  I'm not too concerned that any of them might "change" now that their reviews are no longer up. Biggest challenge will be tracking down a few since many lost their personal website and changed email address.

Seeing my fbsm regulars and taking chances on new ladies from Switter. So far so good

I had the foresight to save the numbers of a few providers who google showed me were TER reviewed. I'm sticking with regulars for now, but I at least have a place to start if I want to try someone new.

I'm reaching out to ladies that I saw a few years back, ladies that I always had wanted to see again but at that time I was caught up in that whirlwind of new ladies. But for now, it's great to see how most are doing...and just catching up.
Right now, I'm not mentally into the whole intro, reference thing. Too old for that dog and pony show.

While I have been semi retired for several yrs now, lately I have seen a few new clients via p411.  Before this new problem I was thinking to become more active and rebuilding my website so the p411 is nice. Now I just need to figure out if I still want to go that direction and if so hosting options etc in new environment.

I would choose someone from my TER+P411 list of "to do" providers because I know they are "safe" (as LE concern) and they have good reviews.

I have a number of ATF in each market. But I do look around. I like to find new ladies online. I tend to look for tall blondes or redheads who are mature. I will try and find what I can but since they are new not much out there. So I now have a MO. I will email them with information on me and see if they are interested in a supporting role in one of my fantasies.  

I will meet them for a "meet and greet." A one hour or two-hour introduction. I pay their normal rates. If we connect then I will set up a dinner date. A 3 or 4-hour event. Once again if we connect then I will set up a overnight. If that goes well I will set up travel dates.  

The email exchange is critical. Do they take an interest in me and my adventure? I am not interested in an hour or two-hour crowd. I want more out of my experiences. If they invest. I invest.  

I have been lucky a few providers have pursued me and those providers have resulted in more dates with them. I notice my $100,000 club members have increased in recent years. I spend more with fewer ladies. However, they contribute to my success by giving me a recollection of our time together meaning I make a difference for them and me. I am learning to be a better client. They end up giving me what I want and I give them what they want a good relationship.  

I am a pleaser and nothing better than a pleaser meeting a pleaser.  

I think my success has come from better screening and premeeting communication as well sharing of my experiences so the provider knows what she is getting into.  

I hope that helps.

Unfortunately I did not compile a list of favorites before the information was cut off. As a result I only have a handful of contacts and 2 or 3 booker numbers or private websites. Any suggestions would be helpful so I can rebuild my favorite and reviewed list. So far I have stuck with my small list of favorites. I miss the newbies hunt!

It seems simple enough for people to get a VPN and get back on TER.  So, why aren’t women doing so?  My guess is that an awefull of of escorts hated TER for incentivizing performance.  So, they were all delighted to see TER go down and figured they would be able to advertise elsewhere.  But TER was a market that facilitated transactions and reduced risk.  Without it, I’m simply not going to visit providers as much in the future—which I’m sure the Puritans that created SESTA will be very happy to read.  But providers, as a whole, need to get their VPNs and move out of the United States in order to keep TER a teaming market place.

Here is how I select a provider.  I wake up one morning with a hankering for a certain type of woman or a certain experience.  For example, there is a new girl where I work.  Young, aggressive, super tight body, wears no makeup, direct, no nonsense kind of demeanor, dresses very professionally—but her cloths fit perfectly.  So, I find myself inadvertently checking her out from time to time.  Once, she was wearing wool slacks that did not appear tight.  But when she bent over to pick something up a couple of weeks ago, I could very easily make out the outline of her granny panties (I just leaned back in my chair and counted the light fixtures on the ceiling until she sat back down... and God knows what was laying on the ground that took her so long to gather up.  If I knew what it was—a pen for example—I’d have slapped a pen down on the desk and said, “Here is a pen!  Now stand up, turn around, and sit down!”).  

I always wrote her off as either a little neurotic or a lesbian.  Well, we worked on the same team recently and I found that she’s really very elegant and easy going once you are working on the same thing together.  And she was flirting with me in this sophisticated manner—saying innocuous things, skillfully woven into the conversation, that would have easily segwayed into an invitation to go do something.  She was so disarming I had to catch myself before I just naturally invited her to go do whatever she had set up to go do.  

First I’m married, second I out-rank her and if anyone even suspected we had done anything innappropriate, I’d at least be given a formal warning—even if she never complained, third there’s this me too thing going on—even though she would no doubt be ready to grab a drink after work, there is no telling what the repercussions could be 20 years down the road.  It’s just obviously and clearly a temptation to be avoided.

So, I put her out of my mind.  But, every now and then I wake up hankering for a 25 year old professional with an ass that looks like she does 2,500 lunges every morning and with a confident and aggressive demeanor and I just think about it more and more frequently until I just have to find that experience.  And once I realize that I’m not going to stop thinking about it until I satisfy my desires by proxy, I sort for what I’m looking for on TER.  

I’m not looking to get laid.  I’m not looking for a perfect 10.  I’m not looking for the same experience as last time.  I’m looking for a certain race and a certain build and a certain attitude.  So, for me, flying blind is just not going to cut it.  I don’t know what I’m going to do without TER.
