I can't for the life of me see how getting payment up front works as a screening process.   LE can pay up front using cards specially arranged for that purpose.

I am not sure if I like the idea, at all. I get screamish, when the money is given to me upfront, when I meet with a client lol Good for you, for not giving in to his wishes. If a gentleman cannot provide me with either or of what I ask for, then I have no issues in just saying no.

A while back, I asked several of the regulars (guys) for some advice about privacy, screening, safety and etiquette.

I wanted to propose to a provider that for a small fee, we meet in a public place (restaurant, bar, museum, whatever) and chat for a few minutes.  She could check my I.D.s, bus card, whatever, just no electronic or written records.  Also, I had provider refs.  She could make a good character assessment and security check, and we would also develop some chemistry prior to the first appt.

ALL (not most) of the guys advised me that this would not work, so I never proposed it to the lady.  I simply decided not to pursue her.

Besides my information trail paranoia, this provider had a multi-hour minumum and significantly higher fee (and a few but not a lot of reviews).  So part of my concern was risking multiple sessions worth of coin for one that may or may not work out.

Shaye (and other ladies) - would you agree that my idea was "out of bounds"?

You were right to be scared. It feels wrong. Anyone who is that anxious to skip a routine screening is suspicious. And while I realize that there are certain situations that may make it slightly less or more "right" perhaps we can all discuss these scenarios in PM. Just my 2 cent.

This one is free!

depends on where you live and work.

I know of an instance in Las Vegas where a lady accepted a session fee in full thru paypal and then was arrested by the individual on their date. You have to look into the laws where you work, what is allowed, (i.e. entrapment, solicitation laws ect.)


I never saw anyone for any reason in lieu of screening. I understand some gents hesitation and we can thank ladies who are indiscreet and threaten to out gents for that paranoia. But as i always told my gents who were hesitant, my safety was as important as theirs. I never scoffed at screening. We all have far too much to lose.

"And then if made me think. So my question is do any providers offer this type of service.? And if so, aren't you worried that they your new client is LE or even worse a complete wacko??"

I'd be concerned about an LE sting. They can always front the money as part of the investigation. I think you were wise to turn him down.

You were right to turn him down since paying the money in advance does not mean that he is not a wacko or LE.  However since screening procedures vary from no screening to an advanced form of the Spanish Inquisition I would not be surprised that one provider out there might accept payment in full in lieu of screening.
