You have to give a little, to get a little!
[QUOTE=Fp1972;2189109]Thanks Jeepster and Cullen. I am not verified and have no references. In continuing the theme of my thread, verifying with 411 or another way worries me to death. I've read some horror stories (perhaps not about 411) about people using verification services and such. Makes me think it might be easier to roll the dice with a CG.[/QUOTE]You have to do a little research, PM or back channel and find out who you can trust. I have not had to be verified in about 8 years but had to start somewhere. I used P411 for a while. You will never see the quality providers without getting verified with someone. If you keep rolling the dice your going to come up a loser sooner or later.
Good luck and play safe!
Check This Mature Provider
I don't think Karma was zinging this mature provider. She says she just started a couple years ago! What took her so long? She probably buried a few husbands from heart attacks.

[QUOTE=Blackhawk101;2191580]I wonder who she was Zinging (IE Zingbot)! Does anyone know? Ouch![/QUOTE]
Verified, certified, rarified and sanctified

Good luck and play safe![/QUOTE]I am sure you have been verified by many over those 8 years, BH! You might not have been asked for any personal info, but if your references have been checked, or your posting history searched, the new ladies you have visited over those years have verified you somehow, at least the smart ones have. Its just that the Blackhawk name is instant verification, like having a Good Mongering seal of approval stamped on your forehead, LOL. It's going to take the newbie OP (and most of the rest of us too for that matter) a while to achieve that instant verification recognition status. It is rarified air you breathe, sir, but if you still seek out the fresh experiences, they will find their ways to assure themselves you are no faux hawk and you will be verified again, however they choose to do it. Just like you do to verify that they are the real deal. Only way to avoid it is to keep seeing the same providers again and again, which is not a bad thing -- we've got some good ones around. But most of us in this hobby crave variety, and are always looking for something new, or at least I am.
