It's not about the money or not wanting to share clients, many ladies have realized that solely depending on references has become dangerous, more dangerous because ladies feel like they don't have to do anymore screening outside of that. Not to mention, a client may be perfectly ok with me and completely different to the next. The last girl murdered just two weeks ago screened and had references. Also LE is starting to use references... yes they actually have legit references as used in the Texas sting just last week, while yes some girls are selfish it's not always about the money. I'm not reference friendly because I no longer want to feel responsible for a persons behavior or someone else relying on me for their safety, however I do white list and/or blacklist all clients and update each time they see me. which is my form of referencing.

It is foolish to think that if you give a reference for a hobbyist who was good with you (showed up when he made the appt, gave the right donation, did not overstay his time, ect.) that you are responsible for his actions he does with other providers you gave him a good reference to. We are all adults here (at least most of us are anyway) and know the risks associated even if we think all the boxes have been check that someone is safe to see, and that goes both ways.
It is also foolish for providers to count on and take to heart as references, good or bad, from providers and especially other hobbyists, who have not seen the hobbyist in question BCD.
Doing a white list is only good if you let the hobbyist know you are putting him on it. But again, he may be on YOUR whitelist, but that does not mean too much in the overall scheme of things as far as safety goes with another provider, so using your rationale, him being put on a white list by you and for example, he shorts a provider on her donation, then do you take responsibility for that too?
