Dude. You deal with bottom feeders who don't screen. Of course you can expect those things. First, second, third, fourth choices. You have scared yourself into a crappy corner. Don't take him with you. You're that scared of a good time, go to church. Originally Posted by Tiffani JamesonYou seem to have misunderstood my point entirely.

The vast majority of the time it will be a non factor, until it isn't. It is reasonable to find a way to mitigate that risk entirely should he so desire.

And crazy isn't hard to spot when you go in with 'eyes wide open' as you suggest.
For you to pretend as if the scenarios I mentioned do not happen except among "bottom feeders" (whatever that means) is disingenuous. Let the man do what he is comfortable with but do so with eyes wide open rather than wear the rose colored glasses you'd have him don. Originally Posted by SpiceItUp

I am saying that one can find newbie friendly ladies who do not require personal info yet will also act as a reference. There's simply no reason for anyone to give up their anonymity when providers who do not require it exist.
Again, screening if no different from shaking hands with someone new at a party. You hand out business cards, tell people what you do, and what area you live in without thinking about what they're doing with your information. You're making things harder than it needs to be.
Tell you what, I'm going to start my own verification site. I promise to keep your information safe. I hope you join. I also have a great reputation for privacy. Originally Posted by Tiffani Jameson

Because you are either that good in bed where a WHO'RE, who's paid to LEAVE you alone would want to mess up your family life to be with you, or that much of a douche messing with the livelihood of a crazy one that believes in eye for an eye. Which one is it?
You know they exist, I know they exist, and yet you act as if every provider shares your philosophy on screening newbies. They do not. I'm suggesting he find one of those thus keeping his anonymity intact while simultaneously allowing the lady to do whatever she is comfortable with.
And, once again, your analogy is weak. I've never heard of someone handing out business cards at a party and then finding themselves blackmailed or in a relationship/custody/career damaging situation. It's ludicrous on its face. Are you being purposely obtuse? Originally Posted by SpiceItUp

I'd never thought about screening in a way that was so simplified. But it makes perfect sense. I guess the fear of "hookers" being unscrupulous runs deep.
