I know a lot of guys, myself included, hate to be put through the ringer during the screening process but we ultimately know it is for the safety of all involved.

My question is "when that process is either nonexistent or extremely light, does that cause anyone concern?"

I just get a little concerned when the first email reply I get to an inquiry is:

"Name the time and place and I will make it happen."

Does that weird anyone else out when that happens?

BTW, she was well reviewed on another board but not at all on TER.

and especially when asked for first name only. It did happen to me several times with touring ladies, one of whom refused to take any further screening info, and I got the impression that she knew me or recognized my number.

The little head said go for it; the logical one pointed out the pitfalls i.e. LE, a scam, B&S, etc. Well, it turned out one of the best.

She might have already screened you via the back channel. Many providers trade information back and forth on a daily basis.

There is a provider on another site that did the same thing with me. I found out she did her research on me way before I was interested.

When you look good, have good rep, pay good, and fuck good you are in high demand.

1 out of 4 ain't bad...  lol

your wife tells you who to fuck?!?

when getting the info out of someone is like pulling teeth.
you have most of you anyway, have been at this game long enough to know you need references, info on yourself and contact info as well as on your references.
Yet too often it seems to take several emails to get what I need to screen someone. I really hate that.
Its as though some are just trying to see how little info they can get away with.
Try offering up the info without having to beg you for it.

Well thats my rant!

MP"I call or email a lady and tell them I want to meet. Done. I get a call or email saying where and when."

Thats you..with me I send  three refs on first contact by email, Occasionally she asks for two  more.Then she wants a PM from TER to verify I am who I say.That doesn't bother me..If she's comfortable I will most likely be comfortable, when we meet ..What bothers me the most ...  I hate it when a provider tells me she wishes I was more like MP67 and less like Rin Tin Tin ..That frosts my gizzard.
Age isn't everything, except in the eyes of some  younger ladies.

Some say "you better not be fucking around".  Others say "go fuck yourself".  In his case, she's apparently ok with it.  The only real difference is whether we listen.

Why do I keep hearing this word? My back door in my house is screened, that's it.

I call or email a lady and tell them I want to meet. Done. I get a call or email saying where and when.

I don't know what the big deal is?

I expect them to at least contact a couple of providers I've reviewed. Some girls don't screen much but go on intuition instead. Some don't feel the need to screen me because I've been around a while and post enough that they know I'm not a bad guy. Still, I'd prefer they show some interest in verifying me because if they're not verifying me, they're not verifying others and they're gonna get popped eventually.

In general, be wary of providers who don't screen. LE doesn't need to screen so keep that in mind.

If I am contacting the lady I have already screened her. First I ether seen reviews on TER from people who have a history of reviews and have reviewed someone I know to be legitimate, know from outside the hobby, a provider I trust gave me a thumbs up on them,and/or have back-channeled them extensively. If one or more of these things check out I then read her whole webpage and/or ad, check TER and read all of her reviews, ask some provider friends I know about her, do some back-channeling on her, look at her ad history, Google her name, number, and email, do a reverse number search, Tinyeye her pictures, Copyscape her webpage and/or ad and check other lesser used review sites for bad reviews. Then I get an OK from my wife.  So if I did my job there is no need for concern. If I only seen ladies that screen there would only be maybe 5 or 6 ladies I could see in my town and none of them really float my boat. It is not the ladies job to keep me safe, it is mine. I screen all the ladies I see to keep me safe it is her job to decide if and how she keeps herself safe. If you are put your safety in the hands of the lady you will get burned sooner or latter. If I screened her properly my risk, as I see it, is minimal. So, why would I care if she screens me? I do not see how her screening keeps me safe. Please note I do not mind bing screened and I do think that they should screen me. The ladies have as much to lose as us guys. I screen quite heavily and feel they ladies I see should do the same for their own protection. But my screening does not protect her and in my opinion her screening does nothing to protect me. Maybe someone will show me where I am wrong. Maybe I am, and if so I would like to know how.

nude photo, I'm alright with that! lol Does begging also consist of being down on all fours?

Yes, don't most wives? The only differents is mine is more than OK with me hobbying and most women aren't OK with their mam hobbying. She asks to help screen them as she knows people in the business and sometimes joins me seeing her. My wife has yet to turn down anyone I have screened. How about you wife?

anyone in the door, no questions asked. shouldn't you wonder about her sense of safety and self esteem. I promise you if she is willing to see anyone just because she needs the money. There is more going on then you probably want to know about..

I'm not married. When I was we were monogomous. (very funny iPhone tried to auto correct monogomous to monotonous, I guess it knows) I could not sustain it, but good for you two going the non traditional route!

That's what I am saying Jess.... it is the inattention as well as the other drivers on the road that cause a biker to get nervous.

Chased both of those to no avail.  Not used anywhere that I can find.

It was my wifes idea. I was happy being monogamous. I would go back to it if my wife would let me. I do not have her sexual appetite. She gets more out of my hobbying than I do.
