My P411 subscription expired about a year ago or so. I decided to see how hard or easy it is to get screened without P411 for a while. Well, long story short, getting screened without P411 is very easy with some providers (as little as 20 min), and can take 2 to 3 weeks or never happens with others. The biggest drawback is being put on a back burner when a busy provider has enough regulars or P411 clients contacting her for dates......and having to pm, text, or email them after a few days (sometimes after a week) has passed to find out if you did or did not pass their screening. So when I was in a hurry to see a lady I had not met yet, I often really missed P411. On the other hand, when I was not in a hurry, I often felt forgotten, yet did not want to come off as a creep or a stalker by communicating too often to find out if I passed screening. Kindness and understanding seemed always to work best. Getting pissed never helped speed things up.. Duh
Also, many of the younger 20 - 30 yo providers are so scattered, that if they are not on p411, it's not even worth trying to get screened using references. It's crazy to try more often than not.
Bottom line: I am going back to P411. Keeping it simple is so much better.
