Rates & Screening

[wizardofvancouver]

That's not even remotely what was said. Lol?

It's implied, and I admit I'm being somewhat facetious, but any man who doesn't value his privacy likely has nothing to lose, which objectively categorizes him as a loser. Additionally, any man who is genuinely appealing to women would also prioritize his privacy. Thus, it's suggested, through his rather pathetic comment, that he is someone who shouldn't be looked up to or emulated.

Anyway, to stay on topic: do you have any thoughts on this matter? I notice you’re quite active here, yet you haven't presented an argument or any reasoning in this thread.

I'm similar to that guy. No friends or family here, single, and have little to fear or worry about. I'd say that if you're worried about these things, it's probably because you're doing things you're ashamed of and, probably really shouldn't be doing.

Hah, perhaps I'm being similarly exaggerated there, but like I've already said... My thoughts and opinions on it don't really matter. I'm in no place to tell ladies how to run their business, as I have no experience doing this for work. It seems like most of the providers doing screening like this are higher end girls charging close to a grand an hour, going on dinner dates with guys who are more interested in hiring a pretend girlfriend to shower with gifts off of her gift lists. Which has never been my thing, so I've never had to deal with it at all. I'd happily provide screening info to help a lady feel safe, but that's never even really been an issue for me, so it's not something I concern myself with anyways.

Thats not the norm.

Because, to be honest, at this point in time, it's primarily the providers that nobody wants to see who have strict screening requirements, like asking for ID and so on.

But how do you feel about people in this thread bringing up ways in which their privacy isn't respected by providers such as:
-Doxxing
-Provider only group chats
-Providers posting clients on social media

etc.

I mean, I don't have a wife or committed girlfriend that I'm here cheating on, but at the same time, it's not like I don't have romantic interests. I think I'm pretty safely in the arena of not being a complete shit person to someone I'm misleading, while still being able to enjoy screwing random people. Take that as you will. 🤷‍♂️

I think it's largely hypothetical, and not the kind of thing that regularly happens. There's a difference between maybe, might've, would've and could've things that happened, versus things that actually do happen in the real world. And I say that as someone whose last relationship ended over such things.

And, to briefly respond to MrMiyagi's post, I think that note applies to inexperienced users, willing to send their info to any random LL ad, not run by established providers that have built their reputations on professional handling of their business. There's a world of difference between just falling for random LL scams, and interacting with well known and proven providers who have been using such verification plans for years and years, without issue. There's such a huge grey area there that makes such conversations easy to follow into one camp or another of misrepresentation. Do I think people should just send sensitive info to any random person they find on LL? Of course not!

Have I sent my sensitive personal info to any person at all, in all of Canada? Also no. But there are certainly specific providers that I would, without much of a second thought, because they take their profession and protocols seriously. That being said, it's not even something I dabble in, because it's not even my interest to begin with, as already explained. But if it were, I could give you a small handful of names that that I wouldn't have much of a concern about.

And again, either way, I simply do not see providers that have screening I don't feel comfortable with. There's no need for me to complain about it, I'm not going to change anyone's mind. And to me, it's just as tacky as messaging someone that I don't think they're worth the price they're asking for. If it's not for me, there are still literally hundreds of fish in the sea that align with what I'm looking for. There's no need for me to be a dick bag pointing out my issues with a provider that I haven't seen, and never will see, on a review board for reviews of providers that you have seen, simple as that.

However other than the criminals how many clients have been doxed and outed even if they were less than ideal by any reputable lady?

I've observed quite a few instances of this happening, and I'm not even that deeply involved in this world. I do have some insider insight from being friends with a couple of providers I met outside of a client context.
However, one of the most significant examples of doxxing and exposing individuals that I learned about was from people who weren't related to this industry at all, and I would have heard about it even if I had never participated in the industry or seen an escort.

Something to keep in mind is that if one single provider chooses to doxx or expose all the clients they have ever seen, or even just the clients who were reckless in regards to their personal information, that one provider could potentially expose hundreds of individuals.

Hey I thought I would circle back on a couple of things you mentioned in this and the first reply.

I can see how you thought I was boasting- it reads that way but it was meant as an example of respect for privacy.

As for being a loser, as in not having anything to lose, that’s a bit of a jump to lightspeed. You know nothing about me, my life, family, friends, relationships or anything. Big assumption there.

What I could have been far more clear about is I do not believe it’s difficult or hard to find providers who value privacy (yours and theirs) in an equal way. There are inherent risks for everyone who partakes in this industry but the ones for providers are far greater, clients are not getting assaulted and murdered. Almost every tale in any of the review sections of all the boards about client problems almost always read the same. It seems pretty obvious to avoid those situations as they seem easily identifiable to me.

But as for privacy, I respect it have it and don’t abuse it and I expect the same from the providers I see and so far it’s worked well for me and I assume them.

I can understand gents being nervous about screening but I would ask this- is it the activity you are engaging in that makes you nervous or the provider you are choosing? IMHO if you can’t get a gauge on the provider and how they operate then they probably aren’t worth the risk.

I remember a couple years ago when there was a girl used to work at an agency who filmed clients arriving at their incall locations and then created a compilation to share with the women in Vancouver to "shame them" for seeing escorts. twisted stuff.
