For all you gentlemen...

I would like to start off by saying I'm VERY disappointed in a certain person's lack of common sense. Well, either it's a lack of common sense or they have absolutely NO concern for a ladies privacy.
I am sitting on my couch the other night, trying to get over the flu (which I've had for a week), and I receive a text message from a dear friend of mine, FROM ANOTHER STATE, saying that my telephone number has been posted for any gentleman with premium access to view. Is it not obvious that I DO NOT have my phone number posted anywhere?! Really?! That is something I give out ONLY to person's I have screened and verified. Not only do I enjoy the hobby PART TIME ONLY but I'm EXTREMELY picky about who I meet. If I wanted my phone blowing up with calls and texts from people I've not verified I'd post my number myself.
It is sad to me that someone from another state was the first to report this. And it's even more sad to me that it took almost a whole day to remove that number. Maybe it's just because I'm from a city where more hobbyists are more concerned about the lady's privacy AND SAFETY than they are with their own wants and needs.
I am happy that there are a select few around here that I have met that do genuinely care. Thank you guys SO MUCH...you know who you are.
So...my number has been changed. I've only given it to the select few I want to have it. And as for the rest of you gentlemen...I am changing some things. I will not see any hobbyists that I have not already seen or verified unless you have a P411. Even then you must provide 2 recent references. If you send me a PM or email without your P411 information it will be ignored. And if this is an inconvenience for any of you...I am deeply sorry but you can thank the gentleman who posted my number for almost anyone to see.

Daaaang what a tragedy!

Sorry, Sweetheart. We get awfully angry if the ladies we see are not discreet. I certainly understand your new standards especially since you have another life. I apologize on behalf of the dumbass.

Sorry you feel violated,please give the rat some CHEESE

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way...but I'm more than thankful that he did "RAT" because giving out a lady's phone # that she doesn't post HERSELF is not only disrespectful but it shows you have no concern for her safety or privacy. How about us ladies start being less discreet with you gentlemen? How would you like that?
Obviously there are more hobbyists around here with little common sense than I thought.

I'm sorry that happened Natalia. I hope the damage was minimal.

For things like this I recommend Google Voice (alternate phone number feature).

Damn, it took me a week to get that number and now I'll have to start all over again geez.

Yes HB...Google Voice is wonderful...I STILL don't want people having it unless "I" give it to them.
DrSmooth...you are welcome to have my new number.

Geeesh I always miss out on the goodies! Sorry about you being violated

damnit. i never got to see her

I don't believe there is anything new to add to this thread that hasn't already been said. Guys, when there number is listed as "will provide after screening", that means keep the number to yourself.
