No Burner For Me - At Least Not Yet...
Although my leash is not particularly tight, I've opted to avoid the two phone strategy and rely on GV. I have an iPhone and use the GV app. I have a ton of apps so the GV app icon kind of disappears in the mess. Texting works great and there's no indication of any incoming texts to alert anybody. You can use GV to select which phone you want it to use to connect. I just keep the Do Not Disturb function activated so there are no interruptions. I keep my History mostly purged just in case. The only minus for me it doesn't allow picture attachments. And I dunno how it would work for non-iPhones. So far, so good, though. Knock on wood!
Best part? It's free!!
[QUOTE=GoBig;1995074]Unless you're in some line of work where you might need a burner phone for legitimate purposes -- and these are few and far between -- there's not an explanation.
But here's the thing: If your leash doesn't have enough slack in it that you can reasonably expect to conceal and charge a burner phone, then you probably should avoid the hobby. That is, if you don't have your own car, your own office, etc., it's probably not going to work. You could use your regular phone, but that's likely worse given the probability that some provider will text or call you out of the blue to drum up business.
I guess Google Voice may be an option. I don't know. I'd be happy to learn and may give it a try.[/QUOTE]
Wall of Shame for Non-Reference Friendly Providers
I know we have had this discussion before, and I'm starting a project called the Wall of Shame on my website. It's a list of providers who don't respond to reference requests. Ladies can post their experiences anonymously. Hopefully it will help us all with the issue of reliable references. I have a couple entries so far; I just need a few more before I update the table.

Any feedback or help is appreciated.
Somebody gotta splain sungthin to me
So this is me, the guy, not the godlike presence on the forum with a question. I was working today and I saw this;.
[QUOTE]I'm 45, 260, 5'6" 55 hh. 90 h.[/QUOTE]I don't judge, I never do, whatever two consenting adults want to do is not only fine by me, but also none of my fucking business. It does seem to me that if one was into short, really, really heavy middle aged women, that one might just need to stop in at some honky tonk near any big trailer park and one could find pert near as many as one might want. Shit seems like you could do it by going to Wally World if no trailer parks were handy.
Believe me I'm behind the idea of how easy P4 P sex is, no drama, my terms, ect. One of my minimums though is if I'm going to give some chick some money, she needs to be hotter than I can normally pull by just buying her a drink. Or in this case walking up and asking her if she feels like fucking.
Somebody got to school me on this because I just don't get it.

One of my new favorite things
Baiting assholes that threaten me through PM's. It's always the same. First they accuse me of being some kind of keyboard commando, then they get brave and tell me how they would kick my ass if I was in front of them. Actually it's usually more like "I wud kik you're azz if your in front of me." I live in a country where I can get that kind of shit handled for a chicken leg. Sure come on down, send me a photo and I'll meet you, no seriously, I will. I live in a place called Villa 31, right in between the two burned out shacks by the paco dealer. Yeah the favella with the 100 dead bodies rotting behind it. It's like the 2nd or 3rd most corrupt country in Latin America depending on what list you read AND it's in the middle of a political and economic meltdown. Sure, come on down and kick my ass, don't forget that picture though. Flight information would be great.
Then they try and humiliate me by saying I'm an admin on a hooker board and I'm such a loser I have to pay for sex. I think to myself, "wait, this started on a forum where you were posting about paying for sex." Seriously, how can they be so fucking stupid?
Don't get me wrong, the vast majority of people here, especially in my adopted home town are pretty interesting and I'm proud to consider myself a member of this community but some of them are just unbelievably stupid.
Ok end of rant.

Acknowlegding a review is better than verifying
Instead of complaining which provider is or isn't returning phone calls, why don't providers just acknowledge a review when one is posted, specially by a newbie? Good review or bad review, a simple, "Thank you. I had a good time too.", or a "I'm sorry you didn't have a good time. I will work on the issues you brought up." will get you more repeat business that back channeling each other.
Also, if an established provider "taps" a newbie on the shoulder, anointing him, so to speak, it alerts other people that he is a legitimate, his reviews will carry more weight with other clients.
It's the same for senior members, mentioning that they have spent time with a new girl. When a senior verifies a provider with a public review, there is less jockeying and pushing as to who will risk taking one for the team.
Arguing a review is not permitted, but a simple "thank you" is always a welcome addition. When I see a provider do that, and even acknowledge some of the problems that might have been mentioned in the review, my respect for them goes up. Natti GFE did that when people complained about the neatness of her incall; she apologized, cleaned up, and things were better.
