Newbies Start Here

That makes sense, thanks.
I think we've discussed this a bit before, but recent events make me think it's time to discuss it again.

My own opinion (and I know there may be some who disagree) is that you should not use your personal phone number for any hobby business.

You may be a bachelor and not have anything to worry about in that department. But, do you have a job that could be negatively impacted by learning of your hobby activities? Relatives that would be scandalized by knowing about them? Would you want the authorities to have your real number on phones confiscated in a bust?

You may trust the ladies you've seen, but how sure are you they are the only ones that have access to your number?

Makes you think, eh?

Have you tied your personal number to your Facebook account? If so, anyone you give it to can simply go into Facebook and search for it to pull up all kinds of interesting information about you.

Get a hobby phone, or at least a Google Voice account or burner app. Read this for more info:

Don't read the above as me saying all providers are untrustworthy. That's not what I'm saying at all. There are providers here I'd trust with my life. But you can't always know who you can trust until you've been around for a while.

As always, well-reasoned alternate viewpoints are welcome.
Do not ever give your wife as a reference!

Believe it or not, someone just tried.
Seems like some things would be self evident. Guess not...

Yea I have used this sight before to meet a few providers but I posted my first review yesterday. I looked at it and it says pending moderation. How long before it is approved and what does that even mean?

I looked at your review though and nothing jumped out at me as something that would cause it to not be accepted.

It's usually been same day approval on the reviews I've submitted. I'd imagine later this evening could be likely, as that seems to be when biomed is usually active. On occasion some of mine might have taken until the next day for approval but not very often.

It's been quite some time since I've posted in this newbie guide but a discussion I was having last night with someone reminded me of something else that needs to be here.

If you happen to find an escort's social media or other personal info, just let it go and don't talk to her about it. Most especially, don't see what else you can find out about her and contact her with something about herself you think she needs to know about. It's just not your business. Even if you have good intentions and are trying to help her, you will most likely come across as a creepy stalker, and rightfully so.

Think of it this way: An escort has your phone number. She uses it to look up your Facebook. From that she has your identity and can go search court documents, etc. Maybe she finds out something about you and has a legitimate concern for your welfare so decides to tell you about it. Would you be freaked out? I sure as hell would be. It's not different for escorts. Give them their privacy. If they choose to share any details of their personal lives with you, protect it and don't share it with others without permission. Just another part of being discreet.

No offense intended to the person I was discussing with. It was actually a good reminder that this guide needs to be revisited and refreshed from time to time as new guys enter.

Spanky, thank you for this.

This has been so very helpful. Thanks to everyone for the time and effort of posting here.
I did try and open the guide page regarding abbreviations and it says I don’t have enough privilege to open the page. I’ll keep trying. Thanks sooooo much guys.

But I think you are looking for "Acronyms" which is still covered under Economy Plus. This thread shows three other threads with the information I think you are looking for.

But really you only need to know one acronym that rains supreme over all others.

I agree with Ex. Premium Access will allow you to read full reviews and help educate you on the hobby. It will also help you in your decision on who to see.
