membership to sites like DateCheck and P411? I know these sites are important for gents as far as we are concerned. But how important are they for us as far as gents are concerned?

to verify them if you aren't a member of the site?

i use P411 almost exclusively..easy to set up appointments and convenient for the ladies to check references..basic P411 membership is free and invaluable..i can even recommend you because you are so sweet and sexy..

TER combined with P411 is my primary method of finding a new lady.

Having a positive presence on TER and a good review history is the most important thing to me.
But membership in other site like the ones you mention is also helpful. For one thing it might be what gets ya on my radar.  Plus if it is a varification site like Date-Check it is an additional good tool for you to feel comfortable with me.

guys find providers in many different ways.  So it's best to cover all your bases and have membership at both sites.  Neither of them are my primary way of finding out who's around but they are very good as fallbacks.  Also, for some guys, especially newbies, they may be the primary means.

Aww! So sweet! Thank you.

It is just one of many sources I use in looking for providers, but I am in a small market. I use TER, p411, date-check, eros, BP, other ad mall sites, and other review sites as sources to see what and who is available. I could see if I was in a big city, possibly just using one source like p411. P411 does make it easy for contact and screening, but in my area, at any given time there are only 10-20 ladies on there and the majority are not my type or budget.

I don't see enough new gents to keep my membership for free, but DC is not that much $. I don't get much traffic from them, but membership doesn't hurt. And you're right- about covering my bases.  

So nowadays I only see ladies that advertise on Date-Check, P411 or TER  

Fairly important for p411 and DC
Most important that they have reviews that are verifiable (ie by reviewers on here that have more than 5 reviews and do not read like shills or bots...)

So far I've been able to find everything I need by either searching reviews on TER or just looking online.  

Dear Sarah:
Keep in mind that we are connoisseurs and purveyors of companionship and comfort. Henceforth, we are a selective and discerning group of consumers that shop and participate in the hobby safely.  Thus you ask why are hobby site so important. They have an immense salience because unlike a lot of mainstream businesses they tend to be part in parcel of the adult companionship participant's agency of the Better Business Bureau. We know and providers know that once they have membership in those sites, that they will attract a higher grade and quality of customer. Thus they begin to charge accordingly and begin to receive there compensation on the economies of scale for  the hobby. They also know that they have reached a certain tier within the hobby and within the ranks of order of those who ply their trade for compensation once they have begun to establish themselves in cyberspace.
 The verification sites are like a rite of passage and a necessity to the progress providers because they tend to separate the wheat from the chaff as the providers tend to seek the upwardly mobile men in the community that can afford and provide them the revenue and social interaction that they seek within their careers.  At this point they truly have set a standard because only a select few men have membership of these sites and it is the concomitant of being on linked in for the white collar professional. At this point, these esteemed providers can confirm, conversate and verify with women who are like them and have an equal presence in cyberspace.  Thus it is a way of saying to those who constantly ask this question on the newbie board that you are well on your way to success and progression. However these sites have their place and are growing in importance within the hobby however it is also equally important to have a presence and interaction on an industry board.
 The salience on being on an industry board is critical because you learn certain things that are happening within the industry. Also the chat rooms
and the interaction you can have with other providers and hobbyist that you might not necessarily run into come in handy because the provider can being to act like a double agent as she begins to verify the hobbyist lightly as a potential client. It is also important because it has a provider's and hobbyist only board where one can discuss issues relevant to the hobby and trade information on potential client's, LE, and other issues related to travel within the industry. Finally this is a way to become more immersed within the hobby because it is a venue where you can openly advertise meet and greets. This is a very critical networking tool for both hobbyist and providers. From here they can plan interact and address their business and social needs as they increase their roster of clients and All time  favorites.
 This is why these sites are essential and critical to the growth and development of the modern day adult companionship professional. Due to the fact that we all know that we can't be totally open with everyone about our thing, these are places designed to help keep you safe as well as help you cultivate relationships which are critical to the modern day participant in the cyberspace age.

more cryptic long winded bullshit..

TER's Official Word Clown

even Rasha makes more sense than this imbecilic twit...

The reason I asked, as I mentioned a couple times above, is that my DC membership recently expired. I don't see enough newbies to keep my membership by referrals, so I will have to go ahead and get a paid membership. I was just wondering if that would be worth it because I hadn't to my knowledge garnered any clients from there yet. But I guess it can't hurt, and it isn't that expensive.  

Actually, rasha makes more sense then almost anyone else in this looney bin.  I'll also bet she looks a LOT better than Dupy.  I've seen one of them.  Guess which?

if you are a provider on P411 as you said..putting the P411 info on your ad website on your profile would certainly help..i know i did not see it..

P411 is a private network of men who will only see other women on that site in many cases, so considering it costs nothing for us to use it, may as well.

Or was my guess wrong  

the sites, DC and P411 (not RS2K in FL) may be a hobbyist's primary source of finding a provider to spend time with. Some parts of the country are stronger with DC or P411 as opposed to TER.

Simple humanity caused me to still my pen.  I mean, the man has to live, right?  Had I reviewed him, he might have had to move out of his refrigerator carton down by the river.
Oh, and Devin says, "hi!"

Something about a skin tight red dress?

Since joining P411 I haven't seen anyone not using it. I feel more comfortable with one more layer of validation of my new friends. I check the ads a couple times a week and scanning the profiles keeps my favorite ladies in my mind.
Having P411 on your website would pique my interest as much as your TER presence does.

It set those lovely curves off nicely.
PS:  She says you're really a pussycat.  Or was it just a pussy.  I forget.

Though I do cross-check here to read their reviews of course.
My okays there just make the scheduling so easy.
Plus, like you say, it's another layer of protection, which is important to me.

I thought providers have free memberships. This makes no sense. If you have to pay to remain a member there, how is it that they have so many profiles of providers who retired years ago?? They are obviously not paying for memberships.

There are ladies listed on those sites that have horrible reputations, but you couldn't tell from the listing.

I have gotten business from both P411 and DC, but definitely much more from P411.  My DC free 'trial' membership is good through Dec 2015 right now thanks to references given, so I will keep it, but if I had to pay for it, I would let it go.  I find the DC website to be cumbersome and unintuitive and the business I've gotten from it is not worth paying for.

Well, you don't have to pay as long as you keep referring gents to them. But I see mostly regulars and an occasional new guy, and usually the new guy is already a member. So I would have to pay to remain a member. They keep our profiles up for the gents to see, but I can't screen anyone there if I don't pay or refer.

I've never paid for it, but based on the recommendations I've given for various clients over the years, I have accrued a large amount of credits (I'm good through the end of 2015 at this point).  

I am on datecheck, but haven't bothered renewing. I found it next to useless. Many providers want provider references in addition to datecheck. I haven't used it since I was new to the hobby. I have considered renewing for a month to update my references though, in case I ever use it.

thinking that if I'd ever need it I'd pay.

Same here. P411 gets my thumbs up.

Could you also recommend me - because I am having a heck of a time getting started with the sites!
