I just added to my profile on P-411 the following notice.
IMPORTANT NOTICE if a provider refuses to furnish you with a referral let me know and I will handle it.
While I am all for accountability, let's keep in mind that not all providers are available 24/7. Not all of us are sitting on our hobby emails or PM's, waiting for mail. Some of us have legitimate careers outside of this 'thing of ours'. Personally, I have absolutely been guilty of not getting back to ladies instantly. I always respond, even if it may be a bit late, but if that is the case I am very apologetic. There are certain ladies that the hobby is actually a hobby for them. Count me in that group!
I also think it depends on the ladies you are trying to contact. For instance, I was recently given a provider as a reference, who is apparently on an indefinite hiatus. My mistake was (apparently) not searching all her posts. Since I have zero interest in her vagina and since she's been around for decades, I failed to look up her showcase or read up on what she's been up to. She responded about 3 weeks later, setting me straight for bothering her with my request, instead of sending a PM to the guy handing out her name. Funny..."retired", but has a showcase and recent reviews! It's my favorite when I am the one being chewed out, instead of the guy who gives the lady as a ref!! Gag me with a double-headed dildo! But, I digress....
I ask for three references not because I want to talk to all three, but because if I hear back from one in a timely manner, I am thrilled.
Special thanks to the following ladies, for being some of the best references EVER:
Wynter and Elysa (duh!), Maggie Sinead, Kelly TNT (best reference replies of all time!!), Jules Jaguar, the taintless wonder ~Ze~, Audrey Foxfire, Reese McClain, Caroline Davenport, Emily Ezzell, and there are several others but those are the ones that really stand out to me. They are always fun to hear from, and professionTal beyond words. Thanks, ladies! Originally Posted by TheOriginalDannie
And for the gents: don't be lazy. If you are going to use a provider as a reference, it's not only polite, but also smart, to give her a heads up to expect a call/email from the provider you intend to see. It's no different than a job reference. That little heads up lets ALL parties know WTF is going on, and it's just good manners. (Believe it or not, that reference-providing lady may actually need a memory jog to remember you fondling...er..fondly.) Originally Posted by Duke of GVery good point...
If you are thinking that by either giving a bogus bad REFERENCE...or posting an alert on one of the blacklist sites on clients you want to hold onto (providers have told me some ladies do that)...or just ignore ref requests Originally Posted by Fiery AelaThat happens more often than you might think. and hobbyists are no better. some go into the MLR and say stuff about providers with the frame of mind, that they will never find out because we are not allowed in each others domain or private areas. The silly games that some people play, because of the almighty dollar, and Power Trippers.
