There is already plenty of advice for novice punters about how to search, what to watch out for and how to behave.
What is the point of your thread? Are you advising other punters or just speaking for how you choose to find the SPs you book?
You need to qualify what "best results" means to you because it means nothing to us as far as you're concerned.
What do you mean by "unfortunate circumstances"? Again another subjective and vague statement.
1. Those that offer BB. - Whilst many of us avoid BB and we can avoid known BBers. There are no doubt plenty of BBers who can perform very well with clients using protection and who don't want kissing, RO or OWO.
2. Those with photoshopped images. - Plenty of good SPs use shopped pics. Plenty of shit SPs use raw photos
3. Those without full verification. - plenty of good SPs aren't fully verified
4. Those not presented or that don't appear independent. - plenty of good SPs work in collectives and brothels
5. Brazilian (including ones with uk/port/span/ital pp), east asian or thai. - You avoid these nationalities but not Romanians? Care to explain why the nationalities you do see are so reliably good?
I agree there are always exceptions but in general, if I want no disappointment then avoiding certain things goes a long way. It does work and both workers or punters can have their own prerogative. I would never challenge a worker on their prerogative.
You do have to sympathise with those for where a few ruin it for everyone.
Avoid doesn't strictly mean boycott. It's more like many profiles will require extra scrutiny and you often don't have the time for that extra effort. Occasionally however I will and I will take a chance.
I would also expect people to have different takes in it depending what they're after and what they're happy with.
I say BB, I mean more those not offerring it responsibly. There's a bunch out there that'll offer it taking no precautions, no certs, etc. There are many more of those than responsible although they don't seem to hang around long. Some seem naive where as some I wonder if they have something already or are looking to be pregged. I don't engage in it so don't really understand it.
The problem with a PS image is the moment you've got that you don't know what you're getting. There are other things, such as people putting old photos which can be worse but less obvious.
Not all unverifieds are bad no. If they look young for example though it's a concern. I have noticed though a lot of verifieds might have used false pp or swapped accounts. It's not entirely reliable but helps a bit.
When I say independent I mainly mean not a slave or rather not in a bad situation.
The nationality thing is based on experience. With those there is a particular trend of arriving expecting ultra babe 2000 but instead spending an hour giving shrek his monies worth.
You can find issues regardless what nationalities but some are easier to predict than others.
The point of the thread is, reviews aside, is to share observations and maybe develop a better set of filters.
