I see one of them wants a photo of the guy as part of her screening...can't imagine many doing that even if you're single. I never see those that have the screening process, even though I can see from their perspective why they think it's necessary. Thankfully few demand that.

A linkedIn profile...really? That was amusing. Funny timing about this article...on Friday I saw Rebecca Neals was coming to O town from Toronto, even thought she seems chummy with crazybitch Charlotte Edwards, I reached out with an email to try to se her on Tuesday. She gets back to me asking for not just one...but 2 references of recent providers...and this over a long weekend whe I have virtually no private time, I told her I could not pull it off in time (thought she might change let it slide since I reached out on cerb with my handle). Anyway...I think I did a reference one time 10 years ago...bit not recently, maybe referencing it back? I think I object to the philosophy of "I'm not prepared to see this clown, but i wil trust someone else to...", kinda like they are outsourcing their actual screening to someone else...

No way would I give my employment information to any working girl. Fuck that. The only girl that has ever requested a reference for me was Peachy/Val and that was some years ago. I don't see the type of girls who are use these methods generally.

I actually don't have a problem with sending them my picture if requested, as they're going to see me anyway eventually, and it'll help them recognize me when they finally see me. But obviously, if they're going to ask for social media, and references that's never gonna happen. But that's also never happened to me either. I think it's partly due to the fact that I see mostly massage girls that that business is still mainly a face-to-face transactional business. I think the younger ladies who do all of their transactions only on text messages are completely foolish not to simply pick up the phone and do the final transaction voice-to-voice, as you can pick up a lot of clues by talking to someone. Also my rule of not seeing anyone who is too high-priced also helps, because a lot of these girls belong in our Reality-Check thread.

BTW, they mentioned our site, HUBGFE, in this article! /-Thumbs-up::/

I think I was asked a few times who I had seen when I spoke to a new escort on the phone. This was years ago, not recently. Caught me off gaurd and pretty sure they were traveling girls. Since they don't know local girls it was kind of pointless. Seem to remember Jasmin Thai doing that, she saw me anyway, then I had a better known escort to use when asked next time.

Damn, I miss Jasmin. She retired a few years back, heard she got a BF and settled down. One time I was her last customer before heading to the airport, she squeezed me in as I almost missed seeing her. I offered to drop her at the airport as it was on my way. Such a pleasant smart girl, she told me about a stalker in TO and how she was soon ready to quit the biz and settle down. So glad we made it happen that night as it was the last time I saw her. Even more glad we got to share time in the car.
