Is this common practice now?

Your absolutely right. I meant that info only. Tidal wave. Not a full name address or other info.

Believe me I agree with your stance.

The guys that do reveal all that info never post in threads like these. I mean if they did we should assume lady for lady he will be easy pickings for full info. Right?

However when we posts to the contrary belief, our honest opinions and methods that have kept us safe during the years ladies tend to villify us on board. Cause we won’t bend a knee to it.

I’m just glad another long time poster and reviewer contributed and weighed in. Sure doesn’t look like the whole consensus of providers “normal screening info given” as has been told so far in this thread by hobbyist and reviewers. Seems quite the contrary actually..........Hmmmm

It always boils down to the one with the money has the power. Why do so many people not understand that. The rest of it just doesn't matter and is emotion based.

I've only sent a selfie one time. The ONLY and I stress ONLY reason I agreed is that the lady was well reviewed by several longtime members of this and other sites. That gave me some assurance that she was legit. I understand the ladies need for reassurance when meeting a new guy and don't mind reasonable requests from an established lady.

Gimme, you're seriously old school and I remember you and I had corresponded many years ago.
You need to out yourself in an established womans shoes babydoll.
A reference is a biased opinion of her experience with you.
Not another's potential.

References are not solid.
Reference could get pissed off because her business isnt up to par and one of her regs is going elsewhere and said reference then undercuts the one asking for reference, causing your interest to simmer and take that cut.
Reference could take her slow ass time getting back, if she even does.
Reference gives a half ass reference, such as yes, I've seen so and so.
That doesnt say squat for your character, your hygiene or anything.

Some men fail to give account information.
Not like we can easily do a search on here anyway, anymore.

The full proof way a woman is going to feel safe is to have the MAN allow the woman to get to know the MAN, not the hobbyist.

I have seen some sketchy shit in my days, and the stalking, blacklisting, lies and conundrum is retarded.

I dont care who has an issue with how I run my show, it works for me and I never have an issue.
I have been stalked. I have been harrassed. I have been outed. We all have had visual proof of that on here.

But I'll be damned if I'll accept an indecent pic as part of a screening protocol lmfao.

That's as bad as being asked "are you real" or "are you affiliated with LE"!

Learn your laws and learn how to google
Learn that we are not out to harm yall.
Learn that discretion goes both ways but so does trust
