references and thoughts on finding what you're looking for
Of all the screening techniques, I suppose that reference screening is the least dangerous but it isn't without faults.
If a provider requires references, I question her reviews. Especially if these reviews are for someone that posts on any board of this type. I tend to look look for girls that know how to play the game. References do not make them safe. Anyone looking to do them harm will have no problem getting around that. Your first concern is your safety. Is that one sided? Can't say I care. When they're paying me for sex maybe I will. You know, when hell freezes over. (And no, I don't wish them harm in any way.)
That being said, I have provided references and may do so again. Depends on the girl and situation. At least I'm not giving out personal information. All I'm saying is, it's not really making anyone safer and it is a pain. If I can find someone else, I tend to do that.
Other thoughts:
Don't do incalls unless you know the provider. Especially true of CL and BPage. I'm referring to the Hotel type places or a house. Stick AMPs or travel to Houston or other big city that have more in-calls like AMPs but aren't in hotels and such.
Don't give out your personal information. Know how to check if someone is a cop. Never drive the street looking for someone, or if you must, go to that section and learn all you can about minimizing the risk there. (If that's even possible.)
Cuts down on the possibilities in Nashville doesn't it? If you can, check out nearby areas like Huntsville, Birmingham and even Atlanta.
Vote the current morons out of office.
