This needs to be out in the open for everyone to see. It's important for guys to know, especially the ones that are new. It's important for every new guy here to get references. It's the hardest thing they will do getting into the hobby. Why make it harder for them than need be. Originally Posted by tbone2uI agree.

Even if you have a personal problem with the other provider asking, put it aside and do the proper thing. If a lady won't give references, it should be on her website alongside the "No Review" policy.
However, we ladies do have to use every asset available when researching gentlemen, and other providers are just one of the options. I love P411 and Date-Check, and have also been very appreciative and discreet with gentlemen who have given me personal information in lieu of references and screening sites. One thing I've had to learn the old-fashioned hard way is to always go with your gut. Any time I had even a wee touch of a hinky feeling, I was right on some level.
We don't have to give up any secrets, and perhaps we can be more respectful and circumspect in our discussions, or is that wishful thinking on my part?
