Indies for sure! Well, that's when I'm in my home town. When I travel I can't risk going with an Indie because I'm not familiar with who the "good ones" are and who might just happen to cash and dash on me. Agencies are expensive and don't usually send the girl you order, but at least you know you won't get ripped off.

I see that this posting has been a bit off the dates.
Here is my 2 cents... I like dealing with both agencies and independents because of the following: agencies offer variety and if you become a regular you always get the new girls.. Indies offer a custom session and wont look at you like a number [ some will ] and can actually get to know you and genially enjoy your company.

What I dont get is why agencies claim to be the most safe or discreet.. I mean there are drivers involved and phone girls... all can spill the beans just like an indie can.

I think you've summed it up best after months of argument. I think I'd ad that a good agency gives you more of a guarantee that you'll see a compatible provider than surfing CL for indies does.

i like indies cause I get a real pic if not I say no thanks not gonna work out. With Agencies you have to go thru a song a dance twice as when they get there and are not even the flavor you picked?? First with her and the no thanks then with the Agency as they are amazed when you say you ordered chocolate souffle and a vanilla creme pie shows up. And you say no thanks and your evening is messed up. Just had some bad luck with agency so I look for indies plus they are more likely to be responsive to repeat or regular and actually not watch the clock.

Agency is only good if you got the bucks and have to have a certain woman in your presence.
I am sure they will always exist and cater to the upper class. But us Joe six packs like the indy girls because there is more "BANG" for what we make in most cases. And as time develops a kind of relationship that is ok to see like 50 other girls occurs as well. And they know we will always come back to them when we are done roaming. But Agency girl is all about high end biz and some those super rich big biz guys like biz involve in their women. It is like the women are a part of their work cuz they are rich.

I've seen alot of agencies that say they screen but they do not. With being independent, you can gather a vibe from your client, chit-chat, get to know eachother and have a sensational time w/out feeling like a robot if there's no connection.

here in phoenix i can explain the agency screening process, they asked whats your ter handle, if you had one then you were screened.
if you were the member of a certain defunct group you were not only screened they would truck the girls over and give you huge discounts too.
if you were a schlep off the street without a ter posting history then you were more likely to get a screwing then give one.

after the recent incidents all the agencies that are left are the ones that either actually do require serious vetting or give you more dash then ass for your cash.

How do they verify that you're actually the dude that corresponds to the TER handle? (or were you just joking )

send a pm through the ter mail system.

plus you can find out someone's ter handle from their email address if you know..... the secret formula.

i wasnt joking 30 bucks for a vip and you were considered "screened" by the local agencies.

That's just f**ked up!

no whats f*cked up is that the only reason they wanted your ter handle was to see if you posted reviews. they dont give a flock about the girls.. . it's not their ass that's going to get sliced up if the dude is a butcher.

most agencies are running yellow pages ads under different names and phone #s and not just a couple either... alot.. 30-40 would not be unusual.... all that's required from a guy is a name, phone # and address...they will reverse check with 411 to make sure it matches or if its a hotel, call front desk and verify registration. ... and that is it.

i started out as a phone operator for an agency.

you can be sure they aren't providing a "one in a million" experience to those guys calling in from the print ads but they'd be stupid to run a cash & dash or bait & switch operation on a vip ter member wouldnt they ?

i knew a girl who worked for a chicago agency in the pre-internet days like 10 years ago.. she got a bad client who held her with a knife, when she finally got out the agency calmed her down, convinced her not to go to the police, she finds out a couple of months later the agency is still booking the dude with other girls, she quit.

I'm no expert, but the few agency girls that I've seen have had a terrible attitude. They were just not convincing in the GFE dept and they were hyper-aware of the time...

I pretty much just see my few regular independent girls now.

I used to work in an agency till I truned into an indy. I prefer being an Independent. There is freedom and you have more fun!!

did they have reviews ?

if yes, what were the reviews like ?

did you post reviews ?

There are some 'agency' girls that dont even know reviews exist. Seriously. I spoke with a young lady that just left an 'agency'. Where the lady basically placed a print ad or so and the guys came in and picked a girl like the old houses that you see on tv or movies (unless you've been to one). They don't know about TER or anything else until later on and neither do the clients. So she wasnt working for an agency at all she was working for a lady pimp of sorts [for lack of a better word].

When I first considered getting back into the business, the frigging owner of a similar type agency
was trying to maul and paw me when I met with him and I had to curse him out. He doesn't screen calls. He didnt have access to drivers ( or any other type of security) and there were a lot more things that he didnt do but he wanted to place ads and take 50% of the girls' money. So he was some kind of sleazy pimp-type too. The girls he has working probably dont know that he doesn't screen, they probably never asked. And some probably don't know you can screen. There's all kinds out there.

On the other hand there is another one here in that has a trillion different names (in ads) and numbers, I almost worked for him as a booker but the hours were too crazy for this MILF. So this one actually does have an agency.

I did agency work in the past and some of the things really wouldnt fly nowadays. I actually was busier then and it may have been because I was younger and trusted that I wouldnt get in trouble (invincible young attitude), the economy, or my not closing the deal as often as I should (a little leariness sometimes, maybe) but I was busier. Back then guys trusted agencies for whatever reason. But a lot of/most agencies used to have offices back then, too. Maybe, that's why.

I like it working on my own, now that I am finally getting some semblance of getting established.

That is screwed up about the automatic screening for being on a board. Any dang fool can send a money order somewhere.

Oh, look at this hot ghetto mess here1

http://miami.backpage.com/AdultJobs/fake_agency_real_pictures_of_954_478... One of he many scams that go on here. I dont know this guy but he pissed off somebody because they have and almost ongoing advertisement of this person.
http://miami.backpage.com/AdultJobs/nevada_is_legal_and_now_the_brothels... Another fishy sounding add. "If you have a million questions, don't replay. As if someone is just going to run off to Vegas from a blind ad!!!

Well, I've learned my smileys here, at least. LOL.
I'd rather be independent.

i go with the indy's myself seems like more upselling and i don't do that - they should not have said that but i dislike the most is a guy hanging outside my room with the radio blasting and way more bait and switch if you do get a good the lady won't be their the next time your in town (i travel alot) the worse problem i have with indy's is just not showing up- - but then i'm not perfect - -- theirs a better chance an indy will ans. your e-mail- to get things started b4 call - it just seems abetter way to make sure the person u talk too is who is going to show up- anyway my taste is for ind'y to ans that ? rudetrain

My problem with the agency girls is because the agencies are not run out of offices anymore and it is hard to tell the legit ones from the total scams. It seems they all upsell on some level, though the level varies greatly!

I like independent girls, the personal attention is better, more relaxed, more one on one, less business like. I feel there really is no comparison these days, independents are much better.

Although I suppose if I wanted a really hot girl at my door in a short amount of time, and money was no object, then an agency girl could be a good choice. personally, I rather take my time, to see a girl who can take her time.

I like independents to. Agency girls show up and then hand over a receipt for modeling and say sex is hundreds more, and if you say screw that, they have a driver outside making sure you pay the "cancellation fee". I rather see an independent girl who has to protect her own reputation by doing what she says for how much she said.

Well u should give me a call then if u like GFE cause im great with that experince, plus i never push my clients out the door. You would really enjoy my services.

As Indie I have luxury of scheduling my own appointments, screening my potential dates and getting to know them before I actually see them via chat and e mail.

As result, encounters are more personable and unrushed. If I had to work for agency and see complete strangers 10 times a day .. i would go crazy!

Lina

I'm an Indy due to the fact the majority of agencies have honesty problems
and DO NOT pay a gal what she's entitled to.
Long ago I did try it and was sent to see some pretty iffy characters
and put in some uncomfortable situations
because THEY LIED to the client prior to my arrival .
This way is so much better for me because I know who I'm seeing and I have control over how many I see which isnt a whole lot since I like to have fresh hands and full energy for each and EVERY person= better service.

I agree with Lina 110%. As an independent, I have better control of screening & verifying clients as well as getting acquainted with them prior to the appointment. Also, I decide how many clients I want to see a day versus working for an agency and seeing a whole slew of different joes and johns. At least while being an Indie, I can provide a more quality and non-rushed encounter : )

Yes, using and independent escort is fine but the majority of them does not have any type of screening. If you use escort agency like ethnic beauty agency http://www.ethnicbeautys.com we have beautiful women and they are safe to be around with the stealing or lies.

Excuse me?
We don't screen?
HMMMMMMMM...

Please take your AD to where it belongs.
ON THE CLASSIFIEDS.
Thanks.

P.S.
The correct way is " But, The majority of them do not
or you could use (don't) have any type of screening"

This is another example of why INDY is a very good thing IMHO.
You control how your ad is written and what content is in the ad
so your clients know what to expect from you rather
than having someone else write it blindly and putting you
in a bad situation or making you look illiterate.

LMAO - I think they made your point purplewildflower. I am surprised you didn't comment about the following, "...they are safe to be round with the stealing or lies."

In all fairness, ATL seems to have several reputable agencies and many indies. Can't speak for other areas of the country.

Give them beauty's enough rope and they're sure to get all tangled up. Give me a screening indy anyday. At least I know where my info is going.

LOL, nice one!

THX I just couldn't resist
LOL
Don't get me wrong, there are good agencies out there that represent themselves well and treat ladies equally as well.
I still love being an indy.
If I were a gentlemen, I would probably stick with indies because most of us have less hassles and no middle man.
