I don't mind screening if it only entails getting references from providers I've seen. I will not give out the following information for any type of screening: real full name, home phone number, place of employment, work phone number, personal credit card information, or any other personal information that can easily be tracked back to me.
I know you ladies want information for a variety of reasons, but sometimes it is just too personal and risky to be given out. For all that play, this hobby is an assumed risk sport. I know some ladies will claim the need to know for safety concerns. I can understand that, but I will not subject myself to a screening process that I'm uncomfortable with. Do you see they guys screening providers? Do we ask for your real name? Do we require some 2nd hand form of verification? When you show up for a date, how do we know there isn't some "muscle" to intimidate us? How do we know you haven't been compromised by LE? It is just as much a risk for us. Our only resource for independent verification is a review by a person(s) we may or may not know.
Yes, I'm willing to be screened, but not to the point of releasing any personal information. For us guys, we do research and use a little bit of intuition when seeking out providers. Gals should (and probably) do the same, and that doesn't require us to give out personal info.
