Even verification can be YMMV
[QUOTE=Camera3;2640988]BS,
It has been my experience that sometimes the ladies tells you something like this instead of the truth, that she doesn't want to see you because she just doesn't like something about you. Maybe it is something you said that reminds her of the high school football player that broke her heart or she senses some swagger that she just hates.
No means no, regardless of the stated or actual reason.
I guess you could write back and ask her who she would accept as a reference (and then go date that lady for the said purpose), but why would you want to? But, it's your call.
Just one man's opinion.
Now, for the other issue, I would NEVER send a pic of me, or my real phone number, address, place of work or anything else. There is no lady worth that breach of confidentiality. If my creds, reviews and verification on this and the couple of other sites I am on don't do it for me then it ain't gonna get done. Gruglok is right, it is JUST a hobby.
You can take that to the bank.

I know and read about many hobbyists having problems getting verified with certain providers which left me shaking my head. Why? Because I found it was very easy with these specific providers. I am not going to speculate all the reasons why, but I am sure the way we post on here has influence. In other cases, I have encountered more than a few providers (that are known to have a strict verification process) message me on here asking why I have not seen them? In this case it doesn't mean I still won't have to go though verification. Though it implied to me that this person has already vetted me or felt comfortable enough to believe I was nothing more than a regular hobbyist.
So I believe YMMV doesn't just mean how much you will be charged or level of service you will receive but also the verification process. Jmho.
