Worse case scenario- A client gives out his info and is outed, lets say because he met with a "flaky" or " lunatic" escort, but remember he choose this escort. This escort is one who offers all clients a way to look into her, by having reviews, a website, forum posts, etc, so again this client picked her and for whatever reason, perhaps because of the clients doings , or perhaps she's just flaky....for whatever reason, the client is outed, he gets caught fucking around, his boss finds out, his wife, his neighbors. So... the cost to him= he might loose his job, his marriage, he becomes known as a philanderer- He choose to fuck around, he choose this escort.
If the client were supplied with her actual name, he would have been able to do a background and discovered she was unstable.
The info she provided was infact only the info she wished to supply.
Worse case scenario-An escort puts up an ad, is new, an indy and she accepts a client, she's working to put herself through college, has kids, so every client is dear. She does some research on a few review boards. This client, like many, thinks it's fine to contact her and see her without giving out any info, she feels pressured, and sees that through her research, it is somewhat normal and so she accepts the client. He turns out to be a "flaky" "lunatic" decides he doesn't like what she won't do, so he beats her till she passes out-cost to her=she dies, she suffers brain damage, can't work anymore, can't go back to school, and is now known as a whore. She choose her client, she choose her profession.....
So you are saying that he seemed so normal?????
Seems he turned out to be the lady in your first scenario.
In my books human life trumps all. You all seem to base not giving out your details because of what if's and then you mention 1 incident, to reinforce your reasoning and for putting sp's in harms way. Which is what you are doing when you encourage anon bookings. Do any of you ever stop and think of the sp's or is this board all client based......seriously!! Should I mention the
upteem times my personla info, and my parents personal info, has been misused and outed, because of "lunatic" "flaky" clients and sp's. Before I understood the benefits and necessity of screening? Nah, none of you would care....and it would take to long anyways.
This goes for both client and SP.
Some here will always side with clients, some with sp's, a few, with both. Regardless, there are those on both sides that are untrustworthy or "flaky lunatics". BUT that doesn't give anyone the right to devalue a sp's right to safety, her ways of obtaining it or those ways which will strengthen it and it sickens me when some of you so nonchalantly think it's your right to.
Do you believe a client has less of a right to safety?
Perhaps if more clients proved themselves to be trustworthy by showing up on dates they book, by not spreading about a ladies location, by not giving up any personal info they've learned, by not short changing, but not misusing contact methods, by not acting like flaky lunatics and spreading shit online and doing other nastiness , then perhaps more ladies would feel comfortable accepting dates with gents that want to use just a board handle or a burner phone

And maybe some sp's would also feel more comfortable networking and referencing with other sp's when some sp's truly put the well being of other sp's and the industry at the same level they put their clients interest. In other words, when some stop being client ass kissers
I believe this goes both ways.
