P411 is it a good idea?

[Miss_Mya]

Hey everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. I have a quick question about P411. I have been looking over it and all and was just curious to know your thoughts on whether or not I should become P411 verified as a provider. After looking over the site it does seems like a good idea but I would really like to know from those that have experience from the site as both providers and hobbyist. Thanks everyone.

To me its the best thing around and most of all the people running it are the best around....

I have not had a bad experience with a P411 lady. I have also found it very useful when traveling outside of KC.

It has worked well for me--and while I still use multiple forms of research, I have never encountered a bad P411 experience. Any NCNS or other drama has come from non P411 providers. I get the impression that Gina and her staff have a real low threshold for such nonsense.

I use it. It's awesome.

I second ANONONE in using multiple forms of research, including here.

I really like p411. It provides to me a better sense of legitimacy (along with reviews, other research) of a provider. It also gives me confidence that a provider is screening clients before service (which increases my safety in a couple of ways). But it can be used to screen without taking a long time or relying upon someone's call who may not be available or answering.

Practically this is how it works for me: without p411, it is a lot harder for a girl to go from my "I would like to see list" to my "I am going to see list". A provider's being on p411 doesn't mean that I am going to see the lady (Sheesh, I am not that proficient or wealthy. There are 400+ listed for Dallas alone.), nor does her not being on it exclude her. But a p411 girl has a much greater chance of receiving my request.

I too am more likely to make a first time appointment with a provider who is on P411; it adds a measure of safety and is often more convenient. Specifically, if a provider is willing to accept P411 membership (with however many provider okays make her comfortable) as adequate screening, it cuts down on the time/effort of listing references on my part and checking them out on hers. Some providers have additional screening requirements, though, which reduces the convenience factor. I can't say I've never had a bad experience with a P411 provider, but I'm more confident that she is both legitimate and truly independent.

[BigMikeinKC]

in a word -yes.

[Nina Rae]

Every single woman I know uses P411. Almost all of the most active ladies on the board here use it as well. You really can't go wrong with it. The people running it are very courteous, and it definitely helps with making people feel a little more confidence in you as a provider. Jump in!

why not?

it's an excellent tool. for both hobbyists and providers

but it's best used as a tool, not an end all, be all, for verifying or research.

if someone gives you their p411 number to check on him it is also best to have them contact you thru p411 to double check that it is the same person and not just someone that got hold of someone profile #.
in addition, contacting people that have given oks to double check.
i find it very useful, because any lady i contact can check my profile oks and decide who she wants to check with, she's got a list to choose from, instead of me telling her, or playing email tag with references.
you still gotta work, but it makes it easier.

if used properly it a very useful tool, better than most,
but still, you verify for yourself.
you have to check references.
don't rely on p411 to do it for you.
they aren't taking the fall if something goes wrong.
a useful tool, but just one tool to help keep you safe.

Gina, the lady that started P411 is a former provider that was fairly well known in some parts of the country and very well respected by all that knew/know her......including me. She knows how things should work on both sides of the deal and won't put up with people that don't play nice.

Gina and her entire organization are a class act!!

IMHO you can't go wrong with P411.

[Miss_Mya]

Thank you everyone for the feedback. It has been really helpful and it looks as though you have convinced me to go with P411. Thanks again!
