Weirded out by screening

Although I've been on the forum for quite some time, I don't have any reviews written and typically providers I see are one-off meetings or spas. We've always figured the less you know about each other, the better.

Tried booking with a provider recently and explained my situation. I've decided to book better quality providers and get into the agencies we have here rather than just dealing with bp for obvious reasons. It's just difficult without really having provider references or reviews. She asked some typical questions like age and race; even asked for a picture which I usually wouldn't send but did in this case since she has a ton of reviews herself. My issue is she was asking questions about details like how long I've been in town, where did I go to high school, etc. that I never share with providers and it was through text. She said her reasoning was because she wanted to make sure she didn't know people I knew outside of the hobby. I understand but still got weirded out by all the details requested.

Was I being paranoid and just overly cautious or have others experienced this as well? Maybe I'll try again once I get some references in.
Great thing about this hobby is if something doesn't work out with one you can roll on to the next.. even if it's a screening issue.

Some are def more cautious than others. P411 seems to work well, IMO.
I would suggest contributing more to the forum. If a provider looks at your account she may think you are LE...i would...just saying.

Ladies have to be so cautious, as LE is getting sneakier all of the time. It's their job, the cops, but it's a provider's job to stay free so she can free your desires!

It is a wee bit disconcerting that you have been a member since 2010 with 2 posts and no reviews, but if you're uncomfortable with this particular provider's line of questioning, just politely inform her. She may work with you, or not. There are different ways to reassure providers that you are safe to see, and reviews, while helpful, aren't critical. I will tell you that most independents WON'T accept agency vouches.

Try various ladies on the Houston Newbie-Friendly Provider List stickied in ISO to get better established and rack up some reputable refs, but if you run into the same problem, P411 may be an excellent solution.

Mr. G. .... If you intend to be active follow the P411 suggestion and sign up. They will do screening and you may have to give them some time to check you out. They know what they are doing .... and when you get approved look on there for ladies who will accept someone off P411 with doesn't have any "oks" (which is approvals by P411 providers who have seen you). Ask them to give you an ok when you see them and get 2-3 oks. If you conduct yourself as a gentleman, stick to the time you booked, pay as charged, and tip (just like you were dating) things will start working for you. Oh, yea, don't get on here like I do and post shit all the time .... and start shit with people.

As you can see I don't post reviews. I will comment though. My time on the board is separate from my personal life ... which includes companionship ... but that was a habit I started young .. not kissing and telling.

Another thing .. eventually you will meet some ladies who don't want reviews and don't want your activities with them discussed .... I highly recommend you abide by their requests, enjoy your time with them, and be quiet about it .... meaning be respectful of their privacy. You will also find some ladies who don't like "Eccie Hobbyists" ... or Eccie at all. You have to be the judge of whether you partake of their opportunities.

Listen to Fancy. Just remember she has a different perspective and motivation than you have....aside from being from Venus.

Go find the newbie friendly sticky & choose someone from that list & go from there. You may have to seen a few ladies who you don't want to see but it will give you the references you need in order to get to see who you want..

2nd if she is that concerned her ass shouldn't be a whore that response sounds fishy in my opinion..

Or .... he could just keep posting on here for years without doing any reviews and everyone will start accusing him of being LE and then the ladies will want to fuck him so they can have a "friend" who is a cop and from whom they believe they can obtain inside information to protect themselves ..... *

... "It's an ill wind that blows no good!"

* And when they find out he's not they'll fuck him anyway!
Thread TL;DR so it might have already been said.

But she web searched your face pic and needed one or two more data points to calibrate and nail you down.

Everyone is in the public databases propped up by government funding.

Now,....thanks to that whore....you're also in the trick database.

There's a critical distinction between LE and "a snitch"!

House builders don't know the distinction.
