Posted September 20, 2018 Newbie here - but not totally inexperienced. This screening business is hard work! I don't mean Provider screening Hobbyists (a whole other Oprah), I mean Hobbyists screening Providers. I can't help but notice some review chains start out glowing, then devolve into "Rip Off", "No", "No Show", etc. I'm learning to check the reviewer's details, like when did they join (day before the review?), how many reviews have they written (many or just one), do they just review the same 4-5 Providers? Sometimes the review language is very similar to their others (how many ATFs can you have, dude?). I even noticed one Provider on my wish list with several reviews whose picture and stats suddenly changed into a very different woman; it's almost funny to read the old descriptive reviews while looking at the profile's new stats. I'm so glad TOB has many data points to work with. It's still an adventure, of course. "It's a dangerous business going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First decide all the qualities you are looking for in a provider, contact those hobbiest who seems to seek your style of provider. Investigate the male side of why he chooses any particular provider. Go from their perspective to make your choices if it sounds reasonable enough for you? May I also suggest to find the ones that are newbie friendly providers also especially if you have no reference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you are just super picky, or you just aren't looking hard enough 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 21, 2018 Yeah, need to do your research. Deep dive those reviews. And look for reviews other places. But if hoping an Instagram model just suddenly showed up in CO, be really leery. Lots of legit, pretty ladies on here. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ll get the same response. Guys, if you’re going to contact a lady, put some coherent thought into it. Believe me, you’ll get a far better response and more responses when you put some effort into your messages. The ladies on TOB do appreciate it when you approach them with clear, concise sentences. It doesn’t need to be a paragraph or a book, but always show some thought and of course respect. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 12, 2018 Back in 1970, one of my Army buddies asked me if Inhad ever heard of Texas Instruments. He worked there and told me about TI. He also told me to buy stock in TI saying they would be huge. I figured he full of it. Sadly, I did not listen to him 😩😖 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I followed a bit of TI and thought it stood for "Texas Institute", but did some more research and discovered what it really stood for. I asked my dad if I could invest real money (I had a couple hundred dollars saved from my summer lifeguard job) and he would not let me invest it, saying it was too risky. Truly a regret on my part that I listened to him. Though he offered some other good life advice, he missed the mark on this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
