1. If they want a deposit, it's a scam
2. Take a clean crisp 50 and put it into a different place than your other money. If things get sketchy in the room just go hey you know what, here is the easiest 50 bucks you ever made. Give them the 50 and book. The sketchy situation is not likely to follow you of they just got free money and if you're in this hobby, what's 50 bucks lol.
3. Google the phone number. If you see it come up in Peoria, IL on the same day as Bohemia, NY you just found yourself a scam and saved yourself time and money.
4. The all time superstars on this board (Amanda, Angel Baby, Kaia etc) are superstars for a reason. I cannot, cannot think of a better way to get your first hobby session in than with Amanda or Angel Baby.
5. Las Vegas area code = lousy time
6. Cali area code = almost as lousy time (you have better odds of a good time with CA than LV but why bother)
7. Don't drive around with illegal shit in your car (aka don't commit two crimes at once... Someone wiser than I came up w that one).
8. If the lady suggests you clean up or take a shower, take the darn hint and do so. You will 100% have a better time with someone who isn't skeevied out by stinky ball odor.
9. If you are in a massage situation, ask the lady for unscented lotion/oil. Otherwise you gonna smell like bordello and someone is going to notice who you don't want to notice
10. On Seeking and similar sites, take your conversation to texts ASAP... you can lose your subscription if you start talking dollars and cents on their official chat.
Those are my top 10 hope they help someone
