Newbie Advice

What advice would you give to newbies?

I would advice them NOT to mention services ever. Not in pms or at the appointment.

Sure, I could get a good idea of what's on the menu by reading a few reviews, but I've found that that doesn't always give an accurate appraisal of a ladies entire menu.

Just sayin'.

That's what I was thinking you'd say and I agree totally. Lady's discretion and all that!

Here is also a thread from atxdream called "Perfect" First Contact that is good reading also for newbies

Hope I haven't said anything that was out of line, I try to put my best foot forward..... tend to trip over it from time to time though without intent.

Also, if you find yourself being ignored, stop calling, pming, or texting. You probably already fucked up lol This happens to me all the time and people can't take a hint. lol If you are polite and did your homework already, it goes a long way.

Hi Pepper

Don't oppose screening. Everyone has done it.Nothing is personal and used for anything other than reference check!!!
Stop being scary and get this Kitty!!

What!? I thought you were just playing hard to get Pepper. Now I'm sad. LOL

Great advice in this thread, and I think Malaya said the most important thing. Don't discuss $$$ for services. I think this is also going against being a newbie, but once you get that first legit reference, life will be SO much easier. One leads to two, and from there, you are pretty much clear with about 90%+ of the ladies I'd say.

While we're on the subject, would any of the ladies care to give their opinion about newbies on P411? I'm not an account holder (I got freaked out when they wanted job/employment references as an escort verification service calling my employers would NOT go over well!) but I am curious if a P411 account substitutes for screening, or do you still need references? If it's a substitute for screening, that may be a newbie's best shot at gaining an entrance into this hobby.

I had the same concern about P411 but I have a great relationship with my boss and I knew he would handle the situation if it blew up. Nothing happened. I think they come across like they are just doing a credit reference check so no eye brows were raised as a result. You have to keep in mind that if they were transparent, they wouldn't be in business long.

The fact is I let my P411 account expire. Everyone I've contacted on this site has verified me without it so I saw no need to continue paying for it. I'd like to hear what the ladies have to say about it though.

I don't use p411. I am a little too scatterbrained to maintain more than one website.

well i understand not wanting to discuss services with a newbie, but if i go threw being screened I would like to talk a little about services. Reviews are like the bible you can't blindly take everything for face value. LOL

OMFG...marcus you crack me up! Just FYI...screening services DON'T say that they're a screening service for escorts! (lol) They say they're checking references for a loan co or something like that.

My advice for newbies is to do your homework before contacting a provider. READ her profile...signature line...and ads. Know what she expects...and be respectful of her time.
