Screening processes are more variable than providers want us to believe
[QUOTE=HerbB;4213506]Bear with me folks. Just need to vent a bit. .
Let's talk about screening. As you all know, there are typically 3 types of screening processes to see an independent provider or a girl from an agency.
1. Through registration at services like P411, TER, etc. - Problem here is that most of these are closed by now.
2. Provide corporate and / or personal information. Uncle LEO will love this info!
3. At least 2 or more references from other independent providers in good standing.
Now let's talk about number 3 for a moment. How can I have references, if I need references to get these references in the first place?
And even if I have a reference, how would the new provider verify that unless I provided my personal information with both of them?
Let's not bring up the argument that she will remember you and can provide assurance that you are not LE. She won't.
If you saw her let's say 6 month ago, she wouldn't remember you unless you did something outrageous like wearing a pink hat while going down on her.
So the way I see this, this process is flawed and at least for me not working.
One alternative I could think of is, that when you arrive at the provider, before going down to business, you show your credentials like I'd, corporate I'd, your LinkedIn profile (from your phone), etc. And leave nothing behind.
That way she can be certain that you are not LE, and you that none of your personal information falls in the wrong hands.
What do you all think?[/QUOTE]Except for agencies, there are as many screening procedures around as there are individual providers and, IMHO, they needn't be taken at face value. While many providers stick firmly to their screening rules, others are more flexible. There's no way to know for sure until you contact them and try. As with everything else concerning providers, YMMV applies.
As one example, when a provider has plenty of clients, she can afford to be picky and strict with screening. But, when business is slow, that can definitely change things. By how much depends on the provider, how slow things are, and her individual need for cash. Also, many providers like to hear a client's voice and just a phone call can sometimes make the difference.
If I'm interested in a provider who has, at least on paper, a strict screening process, the first thing I do is search for more info and intel on the web, this forum, and sites like E-Monkey and Listcrawler. I'm looking for at least two things: First, any reviews or monger posts indicating any kind of flexibility or variability in her process. Second, whether ads she's posted on different sites say different things about screening. Maybe her Eros or Private Delights ad talks about strict screening but her ad on Listcrawler doesn't.
When I've done enough homework and I think it's worth a shot, I'll call and tell her I saw her ad on whatever site had the least restrictive language regarding screening. Once we have a conversation going, my goal is to make her feel as safe and comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes she doesn't even bring up a screening process and we move right into scheduling a session. Other times she brings it up and I give her my handle for this forum and for TER. Or I might ask if she'd consider an alternative like a brief meeting at Starbucks, etc. It's all about the art of persuasion so there are no hard and fast rules. I'd guess I've had about a 40% to 50% success rate with this approach. Again, it all depends on how badly she needs $ and how well you can persuade her that you're a low-risk client. If nothing works and you hit an impasse, thank her politely and move on.
But, as other members have pointed out, there are plenty of good providers who don't have strict screening. And seeing some of those, at least the more responsible ones, should also give you a base of references to use in the future.
Risk level still too high, IMHO
[QUOTE=HerbB;4217735]OK, I took the plunge and got myself screened at them. Their server is in Spain, so out of reach from uncle LEO. Glad I did.
Had a great session today with Giselle, a very hot looking Brazilian blonde with a fantastic attitude. True GFE and such a sweetheart. Booking was easy and very responsive.[/QUOTE]Glad you had a nice session with Giselle but I'm assuming, from the wording of your post, that you had to give them personal info to get verified.
My issue is that, even if the server is in Spain the agency booker or manager or someone still has to access that information in order to view it and approve you as a client. If that person is in the US, your info also resides on their laptop, desktop, tablet or phone. And that's exactly where LEO will find it If that agency gets taken down.
The problem is that once you hand over personal info you completely lose control of how it's used, how it's transmitted, where it's stored, etc. That keeps the risk level unacceptably high, IMHO. That's not to say there's no value in using foreign servers and domains. But the main benefit would seem to be making it more difficult for LEO to get server logs containing IP addresses and such that could then be used to track and identify a particular computer or access point. That's the strategy USASG uses, and it makes sense.
But handing over PII bypasses the need for IP info. If LEO has your DL or work info, that's all they need to link you to the agency. To my mind that completely changes the calculus and the odds, and not in a good way.
At the end of the day, everyone has to make their own risk analysis and decide for themselves. My uncrossable line is PII and keeping it under my control at all times. Foreign server storage sound good, in theory, but could be a false sense of security.
Always Be Nice to the Ladies
[QUOTE=NyHornet;4229536]So you stiff a waiter or waitress, if you never plan to return! It's not fine. C'mon man![/QUOTE]While tips are optional in our society, tips are also a principal part of waiter, waitress and provider income. It is up to each of us to decide the right tip. I will tip less for bad service, but never nothing. For me the right response to truly poor service is to not return.
Some clarification on this advice
[QUOTE=LiloLiku;4696238]Here is the link candy in tyson is way best in DMV [URL]https://nova.bedpage.com/Therapeutic-Massage/the-best-review-in-tysons-massage-by-candy-703-419-9662-here-mclean-tyson-real-pictures/9570532.html[/URL].
She is here until next week. House fee is 120 and the more tips you give the more you get. Good luck bro.[/QUOTE]While it's definitely true that "the more tips you give the more you get," you also need to factor in the menu limits of the individual provider. From my visits with Candy, and from other board reports, anyone expecting oral (either way) or FS is going to be disappointed. That being said, she's definitely worth a visit (IMHO) for her looks, personality, and the quality of the massage. As long as expectations aren't out of line with available service options, all should be fine.
Overpaying is in the eye of the payor
[QUOTE=Mustang946;4692790]I think you overpaid for what you received. You're close to FS rates there.[/QUOTE]I understand Mustang's perspective. However, depending on where I go, what I'm in the mood for, and what I receive paying what is a FS rate for a less than FS experience can be satisfying. I'll regularly pay a higher rate in Fairfax County for FS, BBBJ / CIM or a slightly lower rate for the same service in PG County. But I have a go to gal who doesn't give FS or even a CBJ, yet makes out like a teenager, gives a terrific TS, and enjoys DFK, DATY, DATO and has a great sense of humor. I happily pay her a fee approaching FS. Some would disagree with my approach, but it works for me.
Enjoy.

Rhino.[/QUOTE]I think every monger has paid too much at one point or another. Sometimes it's done on purpose, such as to leave a favorable impression for future visits, and sometimes it's done out of laziness or because of "thinking with the little head" syndrome.
I think once you've been in this game for a while you can tell the difference. The classic scenario for encouraging GPS is consistently paying higher than market rates for AMP services. When an AMP girl (and they're mostly all excellent at upsell) asks for an $80 tip for a plain HJ, and the client pays what he knows is a ripoff price, then I think it's fair to point out how that encourages GPS and has an adverse impact on others.
For a single provider with whom you have (or think you have) a special relationship, I don't think too many would find much fault with that. OTOH, wouldn't it be a pisser if you found out she provided the same level of service to others for less?
Paying for GPS is not the problem
I'd pay $500/ hr for Elite pussy if I didn't have to give up my PI. Guys paying for GPS is not the problem. It's the dummies out here giving away PI to play that causes the problem. Don't get desperate b / c they need us to survive.
Unable to pay for GPS just means that you need to work harder to pay for GPS. SMH.
[QUOTE=Nothumbs;4697593]I wanted to get verified by them too and they asked for similar info. I sent a selfie, a reference, and my drivers license with everything blocked out but my first name and picture. Not enough. I told them thanks but no thanks.
Stand your ground, gentlemen. Only you can determine what PII you're willing to give away and everyone has their own limits on screening. I understand the safety of the providers is important, but so is anonymity.[/QUOTE]
