For newbies, I can understand. For those without REPUTABLE provider reviews, I understand.
There are guys that screw every BP provider in town and write reviews on them, and they think that's enough. Writing reviews on ladies that half the time don't know about their reviews, or that don't have a vested interest in making sure her reviews are positive don't count. I've seen some of these poor girls link to their BAD reviews just to prove they're not the cops! How guys have this track record get dates with reputable providers without screening is beyond me.
You have to understand guys, in some areas the police are getting more savvy. Screening through employers is getting to NOT be enough, since there are places where the cops are using certain businesses to give employer information to set up stings on ladies.
I understand you're all loaded and we all want your babies, and to ruin your marriages (to REALLY make you a regular), but some ladies just want to make sure you're on your best behavior. And all of us should have our ways to make sure we are all happy campers. There's too much that we risk (even our lives), and whatever you can do to make a lady feel better about meeting a stranger, I would think that would be okay. A lady should not be defined by the level of risk she's willing to take. And I would think the less risk the better
As far as the OP, I've counted several ladies that I could go to today for a reference (that I would TRUST), and that would be what matters.
