So, my question is: Are there very many ladies who are members here that will see someone without a P411 or is a P411 without provider references sufficient? I have been seriously thinking about changing my hobby routine, but hate jumping through the hoops to see indies. I understand all your reasons for screening, but for me it's just a lot easier to go to the AMP. I recently PMed a provider that I thought I would like and asked if I got a P411, would that be enough for her to see me? I wasn't surprised when she never answered. I mean, hell, that seems to be a common problem for guys with P411's and references. Maybe I should ask about this in the ML, but I guess I'm putting out a threAD. I've been trying to convince myself to test the waters in the other pool. Don't mind doing what is necessary, but don't want to go the extra miles that some seem to go through to find the gold.

On P411 the ladies have an option to either see newbies, or only see members with a specific number of provider okays. If you did register for P411, you can sort through the providers that accept newbies and find a few that you want to see and send them appt requests. If you don't go the P411 route, I would think that among the ladies that say they are newbie friendly you should be able to find one to screen you.
As far as your PM not being returned, that depends upon a lot of factors. We get tons of time waster e-mails and PMs. Sometimes in the deluge of time wasters and trolls sincere requests for appts can get filtered out. OR, maybe she just doesn't like your board persona. Maybe she's on vacation, lol. I looked at your posts, are all of your reviews from AMPs? My guess is that some of the ladies won't like that. Just like the hobbyists cross providers off their list for certain activites they partake in, the reverse is also true. There is no real way to know why she didn't write back. For me personally, if the e-mail you sent was polite and I didn't answer it back, I would want the hobbyist to send me a 2nd, follow up e-mail (also very polite) to be sure I even recieved the first one. After two e-mails I would consider it a lost cause and move on.
