I understand the need for the ladies (and us) to conduct a basic verification.  And I realize that many of you are willing to comply with a fairly specific list of required information.  But, I find it fairly irritating that many independents want info such as Full Name, Place of Employment, Photo, Work Email, etc.  I know it is my decision to comply or see another lady but seriously what I if emailed someone and said - your pics look hot and I noticed you swallow cum so I'd be interested in seeing you if you could just send me you Real First and Last name, the name of a relative you are still close to, your home address and current weight compared with that great pic on your site.  Would they be satisfied that the information is "destroyed and never used again" or feel that every almost bit ever submitted across the internet is preserved in some manner and potentially viewable with a warrant?

I have NEVER had a problem with whatever system a girl uses. I don't argue with her as she feels she is doing what is in her best interest safety wise.  

OK - so I agree with the OP in general.  

I take your point and don't dispute it.  And correct in the city there is no shortage of well reviewed 9 or 10's that are less strict.  My only complaint about NYC is the damn pricing.

that do not involve such detailed verification and personal revelations. If you want to whine, enjoy this with it

And you get to see pics, read reviews, email about specifics such as attire, physique, roleplay requests. Providers typically don't ask new clients for selfies, if they will wear a certain outfit, do a certain act, have any scars or stretch marks, etc.  They could, but I doubt that would go over well.

Not whining. Just expressing an opinion. The whole point of a message board

See but that is marketing the product and service they are selling.  The reason we pay rates like we do is for certainty. Otherwise we could find much less expensive options.  Not comparable to identifiable info in my opinion.

Very cool.  Consider me saving my "hobby allowance" for a visit very soon. I'm thrilled you responded to his thread and I was able to learn about you.

Right, and when you make purchases at other places, you likely don't feel upset if they are getting your info without your getting theirs.If you do, you shop elsewhere, but you may not say to them "How would you like it if...". Yes, those places may not be making illegal transactions, but your info could still be used in damaging ways.  

That is actually a really interesting point and completely valid.  It's really annoying to make a purchase and 30 days later start receiving calls for warranties, support, extra services but, you are right, completely common. It's never a visit from a cop with a subpoena though!

because you wouldn't provide her with the info needed. Since you are using an alias, I don't know if you are a vetted guy or are relatively new. If someone is new, I do have to verify him with work info. If his has references, no work info is necessary. I've never asked for a photo-ever. Some ladies will take P411 or other verification site okays and nothing more. These sites are important tools for me but not the be all, end all.  

isn't this all about safety........of course for providers and us hobbyists as well?  Yet, both parties must be comfortable about the exchange of information.  The more detailed the information exchanged, the more vulnerable each party becomes.  After all, if we have not been with a provider before and that provider has not yet been with us...........can we really be sure?

get some white lists or some oks on the p info site from ladies who have seen you.

Until this gentleman 'tries' this gig on his own (selling his time and companionship then perhaps he should find another hobby.  

some here would disagree that expressing an opinion here, is indeed 'whining'. I for one, think it is just that, expressing an opinion. So ask yourself what this is really all about, and move on.  

every time some stranger danger comes around, attempting to drug, rape, and pimp us. Stranger dangers know the odds of getting away with hurting a sex worker are higher, especially one naive enough to let down her guard just because someone bitches about it.

Now I wouldn't contact you and waste your time, not based on your pics or your reviews, but on your verification demands. I would never give up that info.

as you seem to get it:

Clever and true. Great reviews by the way!

I could put it on ebay and have the proceeds go to Hotplants VIP. LOL

If you have TER are a VIP and have at least 3 providers on your whitelist, i am comfortable with just that.

I am very reference friendly and not a shady provider, nor am I territorial. Any man who knows me after my screening knows I am always happy to make referrals for him, and also send/recommend him to other providers in my area and abroad - that I trust and know would be a good fit for his taste.
