Selling Pics as a Screening Method?
[QUOTE=Gator1970;6517697]I can say that Frankie is the only one out of the 3 you'll get to see. She has a tendency to make you wait a little after agreed on time. But she's not going to ask for deposit. She will definitely make you comfortable. Very easy going lady. [b]However I did see an utr girl a couple years ago that said she uses the selling of pics and videos as a screening method that your not Johnny Law.[/b] Good luck.[/QUOTE]I agree with you Gator, good post!
I guess I have been around too long and ripped off enough that [B]I NEVER violate the Rule: No Money Up Front![/B] No deposits, no buying pics, no joining OF, no signing up for sites, no payments for rooms, etc. No money until the project is complete. But it seems like most dudes ignore this rule, until they get ripped off.
I can see a girl thinking that selling pics is a screening tool, but it's false. I remember reading that when LE was on the trail of the Elkton Pimp Dude, one LE guy texted a pic of his I'd and a pic of him holding up his I'd to the site, in order to gain access. So how did the text number, photo I'd and pic of the dude holding up his I'd help protect the Pimp Dude from LE?
So I see no reason why LE wouldn't spend $10 or whatever if they want to catch a girl. So my thinking is she is using that "excuse" to get money up front. Sounds reasonable to guys, and prolly convinces a few to send money upfront, but in reality is a poor screening tool. An INCREDIBLE number of dudes SAY they are coming for a date and never show, or cancel, so girl getting money upfront could make up for the No Call No Shows.
I dunno, I see stuff like that all the time and my reaction to deposits, buying content for date discounts, gas money, travel fee and money upfront is simple: NEXT! Too man fish in the sea!
Getting so desperate that one forces a situation?
[QUOTE=PaulBunyon1996;6525304]Thanks for the information. I'm still going to see her. I don't want to back out now. She's only 25 min away. Nobody else is coming through.[/QUOTE]Ah Grasshopper! One of the things I had to learn in this hobby was when to walk away and when to fold. I had to learn that no matter how frustrating the hunt got, It was better to not force a situation. Learned to [B]never get so desperate as to ignore the Spidey Senses or let the little head do the thinking.[/B].
While I know YMMV rings true in this game, I also learned that it was hubris to think I could over come a bunch of bad reviews, because I was smarter, more capable, nicer or whatever than all of those reviewers. I could turn a girl around, thinking never worked.
So hope it works out for you, but if it doesn't, sigh.
[i]PS- You can ALWAYS back out of a date, IF you do it politely and kindly. Even at the point of meeting, IF the girl is a mess one can back out gracefully. If one is not willing to walk away, then one is going to find trouble or end up with a bad date from time to time. [/i]
