The thing I think isn't really addressed, though a few came close, is the guy that is (a) very cautious by necessity (so he has to be comfortable that what he provides in screening is dead after arrival--just ask Elliot Spitzer); and/or (b) he really doesn't want to be all that active with a number of different people. There can be lots of reasons for that, including time limitations, distance, one lady may be enough on a very occasional basis and then that wanes, but he still only wants one; or if there is a degree of mutual attraction or friendship that develops there may be a feeling that he doesn't want to risk losing that confidence, or for any other reason he isn't interested in developing a book of references and keep it up so, for example, he is remembered. For some of you that is a 'pass' in any event, but I would be interested about the ladies' thoughts on the guy of little participation. It seems you could be missing out on a great opportunity or experience from time to time. Is it a case of 'that's the breaks' or do you feel you have alternative means? It's almost akin to never having sex with virgins, the opposite of the usual ideal, or only buying used tractors with lots of hours.

As for needing to know your info is "DOA" - that it isn't coming back to bite you in the ass - well, all I can say is choose a lady like myself that has an overwhelming track record of keeping secrets for a living. NO SINGLE LADY IS PERFECT and there is no perfect method on safeguarding EVERY single bit and byte of data or protecting you completely in a hotel from seeing someone you might know, etc. - for instance, I can't beat sophisticated electronic surveillance or meeting the best friend of your wife in a hotel lobby while she's shopping for a ballroom for her daughter's wedding (and by the way - that goes double for you guys that see ladies that don't screen - LE always knows where they are at - they tell them on the phone - those ladies take all comers and take a gamble more with you than anyone that cares to screen ever does). You need to be able to think on your feet. But, as has been pointed out many times here over, it is rare that the expense of such surveillance would ever be used for the prosecution of a simple misdemeanor and I go to OVERWHELMING lengths in my choice of incall (among my choice of many other things) to protect my clients. I work professionally, I never work from my home, I change locations often and I use best practices to safeguard myself and my clients (their data is encrypted, I destroy it regularly as it may be purged, the device it is stored on is never in the same location I am and I look out for my clients coming and goings with discretion at all times).
Bottom line - yes, there can be alternate methods of screening - you need to choose wisely. I have never revealed a client confidence, ever. Neither have many other ladies here on this board and those that are not here but active in the endeavor. Choose a professional that takes care of business and you're probably going to be just fine . . . THAT SAID, everything has risk - and as I said in another post, if you can't accept the risk - don't call. Your offering screening information (or not) is NOT the only way things can go south - in fact, the argument could be made (and won) that you're actually MUCH safer with a lady that insists on screening (regardless of the method). Stay away from Agencies if you have overwhelming great concern, they are targets for larger prosecutions and wire taps, etc. - use reliable independent ladies.
Sorry to ramble, hope that answered your question . . .
I wouldn't put it in the term, "that's the breaks" though. I'm not rude to the guys who call me or email me, I'm quite nice about it even when a few push the issue and start to irk me.
Its about safety and discretion.
I don't think everyone has a rudeness problem, but some do need to start taking stock of how they interact with others when it comes to doing business.

PLEASE gentlemen, realize that every lady is different and do take stock on how you're treating the lady - even if the answer is "no" for now . . . we are known to re-evaluate things from time to time . . . ijs. You might not want to be standing on the outside looking in left wanting for lack of being polite in business. And that's what it is - it isn't personal. It really is about meeting our acceptable level of risk - what we do that allows us to feel safe - and discretion - how we feel you will handle our information as well.
