Tips for new hobbyists

[BlueEyes87]

I've been partaking in this industry for a few years now so I'm just sharing what I've learned.

If you're new to this, try searching for your preferences on leolist, if you see a provider you like, search for them on here, either by name or phone #.

If you dont see any posts you should try msging the provider first before posting here to ask about them as it's always best to contribute before making 411 posts.

When looking at providers, unless they are well-reviewed & well known on here, search the pics they use on their ad with either google reverse image search or tineye. (See shrek71s comment)

When it comes to msging them my advice is to be as polite & straight forward as possible with what you're looking for & always read their ad to make sure you know their restrictions, availability, location ect.

Same goes when meeting them, it helps to be polite, punctual, keep your shit groomed & good hygiene & you'll have a better time. I personally like to tip when possible & leave on time or early.

It's always good to post here on your experience whether good or bad. It helps to contribute, just try to go into detail.

I'll add more later but if any seasoned users have advice to add please do.

good post

I'd also add to install and learn how to use a reverse image tool. Many of the leolist ads are using stolen pictures. This decreases your odds of getting scammed.

What are the best sites you suggest for that. I'm not that great to doing that, but can learn

If it looks too good to be true it almost always is.

I have one that is a chrome browser plugin. Allows me to right click on an image and do the reverse image search of multiple image search engines. Oddly enough it's called "Reverse Image Search".

Google
Tineye
Yandex

You either post URL to the image or drag and drop it if you have local copy.

One thing to look out for is images can be flipped horizontally to prevent search matches so when doing image search you may need to flip the search image first.

I would add to trust your instincts. If something doesn't seem right to you then don't follow through. I agree that polite and clear communication is the best approach. Also, no matter the review for the lady ymmv depending on the connection, mood and other factors. Remember that these ladies are human and not robots.

All great advice - keep it simple gents - being polite, respectful goes a long way.

I was going to start a new thread for this but since this thread is for new hobbyist, maybe this will work.
For starters, I’m new to the hobby. Only ever seen one once (quick shameless plug, go see Julia-Mae she was amazing to me as a first timer) but that’s not what this is about. I’ve often read from SPs that you shouldn’t approach one outside of the numbers provided on their ads for obvious reasons. But I stay in hotels for work fairly often and sometimes I come across girls that I may assume are working. Is it a no go to ask a girl politely if they are or should you avoid? My example is tonight. I’m staying in a hotel which is a known spot for some of the girls and I rode the elevator up with a girl I found very attractive and also assumed (yes I know what assuming does) was an SP. I’ve never asked out of respect to the girl but I’d love to hear everyone’s take on this, thank you.

Absolutely NEVER should you ask that type of question. But I think that you could complement her on her attractiveness and see where that goes if anywhere and you might even ask if she would join you in the bar for a drink and see where that goes.

This is how I tend to contact them so I've never been in this situation & didn't want to give the wrong advice, but I would definitely err on the side of caution either way. Best of luck!

 

[WanderingJohn]

Yeah it’s kind of what I figured that’s why I didn’t do it and haven’t done it. Tastingyou gave a great alternative that I probably should have thought of on my own lol. Oh well I’ll get this stuff figured out someday.

 

[BlueEyes87]

Nono it was user 'tastingyou' that said to ask her for a drink. I was thinking of something similar, like if you see her again I don't see the harm in just striking up friendly convo and as he said see where it goes. Stick around this forum and you'll learn the 'ins and outs' in no time.

Just an alternate suggestion. Since you are staying in the hotel for work, there is no harm in asking "are you here for work?" If the answer is yes, then you can ask "What type of work do you do?" If she catches on to what you are asking and if she is interested she will respond appropriately.
Just another option for you.
Good luck

Now THAT is a sad comment on the state of our society.

If it helps, I’ve been spotted out in the wild (this was even when I didn’t share my face) and then been reached out to through text/email right away and had it mentioned at that time. I took it well. I probably wouldn’t have if I’d been approached in person. And I’m the most open person I know. Your intentions wouldn’t necessarily be transmitted right away before the person you approach goes on the defensive. All the best!
