I couldn't agree anymore! How does a guy get started with such a barrier to entry with the newbie status hanging over you? I fully support verification for safety on both sides, it just seems like an uphill battle with that little cloud overhead. Any suggestions, anyone? Just a guy trying to find a place in the crowd!

anybody. DELETE."
Some girls are not reference friendly. Some are client-hoarders, some just suck at following up on stuff like that.
They won't admit it, and you won't figure it out on your own without a board like this or hearing other girls opinions of them firsthand.
Add well-reviewed and reference-friendly to your list of criteria as well as newbie friendly.
^^^ And to add to what Rock said, girls in good standing on P411 can send you a hookup for a free (3 month?) trial before you have to bite the bullet and pay for a full term membership. If you're going to do this enough to justify it, it's well worth the cost IMO.
