Okay I’d like to set the record straight about my recent suggestion that more TS ladies should consider using preferred411.com and provide some more detail about why I think it would be a good option for all of us here in the TS community.  Allison mentioned in a thread below that she had never gotten a single date from her profile on p411.  That is not the point of p411 – it is NOT an escort mall – it IS a referral/screening site.  In order for a client to become a member he/she has to be verified by at least two active p411 provider members.  In order for a provider to become a member they need a review posted on a major review site from an established reviewer and/or at least one p411 client member that can vouch for the provider.  They also agree to only post pictures of themselves and must have all rights necessary for use of any pictures uploaded.  In addition providers and client members may have their accounts suspended for any of a variety of reasons including:  complaints are received about their behavior, a member develops a bad reputation in the community, reviews start to be more negative than positive, uploading of misleading or false photos, failing to report a problem with a P411 member to staff immediately, sharing P411 information with someone else or letting someone else use your account.  Here’s what p411 says about their service:  “While P411 is an important tool to use in your screening process, we cannot make any guarantee on any of our members, be they client or provider.  We are diligent, however, in screening all applicants thoroughly and do not want any problem clients or providers in our network.”

If I set my search parameters correctly there are approximately 5,500 provider ads currently running on p411 world-wide.  Even though p411 is all about referrals and screening it is still true that once a client becomes a member of p411 why would he/she ever want to go back to the Russian Roulette of using Eros, Backpage, et. al., when it is far more reassuring to seek out providers with profiles on p411?  Actually p411 has a fairly robust search function for clients to seek out compatible providers and p411 allows providers to post “visiting” ads as well as their main profile, so in reality there is little or no reason to use any other site once you become a member, other than the review sites to check on p411 providers in more detail.  Maybe you use Eros, Backpage, TER and other sites to find new/visiting talent and certainly the review boards to validate p411 info, but again why would you ever bother seeing someone that wasn’t already a p411 member?  Unless you wish to find a TS of course, then it is back to spinning revolver cylinders…

Nowhere in Allison’s advertising materials have I ever seen her refer to p411 for screening purposes – maybe she has in the past and I just missed it but her current Eros ad does not mention p411.  There are only two GG Eros ads in DC out of 213 that mention p411 as a referral/screening source; however, there are 91 providers in DC with ads on p411.  Perhaps Eros is excluding ads that refer to p411 and a few still slip through anyway?  The same thing is true in Houston, only two GG Eros ads out of 110 mention p411, but there are 249 Houston ads on p411!  There are obviously quite a few ladies in Houston that no longer use Eros as a resource.  Preferred411 is clearly working in some markets.  Ladies if you are a p411 member be sure to list this screening option in your advertisements.  The more the ladies use p411 for screening the more clients will be incentivized to join p411.  The more p411 members seeking TS the more TS providers will join p411 and so on.  I do not see p411 as a replacement to TER and other such review websites.  P411 is indeed most complementary to review websites as providers couldn’t get to be p411 members without reviews in the first place and many providers list links to their reviews on these various websites in their p411 profiles.

Unfortunately one thing p411 does not do well at this time is identify TS providers.  Why should they?  Nearest I can tell there are a little more than a dozen TS providers with profiles on p411.  This is difficult to verify because there are only two ways to find them – search for TS/TG “activities” or search for keywords such as “transsexual”, “transexual”, or “shemale”.  Interestingly enough there are at least three TS with profiles on p411 who cannot be found using any of these search parameters, Allison being one of them!  [Allison - put the words shemale and transsexual somewhere in your profile and be sure to check the TS/TG activities option.]  If more TS providers became members you can bet that p411 would make some changes to their profiles to facilitate finding (or screening out, as the case may be) TS providers.

Most p411 ads/profiles are public, but some may only be accessible by members, so apologies in advance should you have any problems accessing any of the links above.

I know we’ll have to deal with the homophobes out there as usual but I have no reason to believe anything other than p411 is open to all reputable members of this broad community.  Generally the exchange of client/provider info is private on p411.  Members have an incentive to seek provider “Okays” which are visible to other providers when they access your profile – providers often set the criteria for which they will see a p411 client such as “basic+3” which means that someone is a member with three Okays.  A client’s profile can only be accessed by providers to whom the client has given their unique client ID and it is there that providers can see all of a client’s Okays and when they were last updated – if clients seek and receive TS provider Okays they will be listed here.  P411 also tracks all providers who access a client’s profile (I do not know if this can be seen by other providers but I would think not – only the Okays seem relevant).  So there may be enough privacy built in the system to deal with the homophobes but we could always ask p411 to provide more discretion in this area somehow.

I’d be very interested to learn of any other experiences our hobbyists or providers may have had with p411.  It seems to me to be a much needed option within the TS community.

Take care,
