As a newbie.... I would be interested to know what is the standard protocol here. Most websites I see indicate that withholding your personal info is a show stopper. My discomfort with sharing this info with each lady who catches my attention, is limiting my activity.
How do you maintain your privacy, participate in the hobby, and satisfy the SP's needs as indicated by the quotes below?
From My French Muse: For security reasons, your companion will ask for a valid photo identification, such as a passport
or driver's license. Please make sure the name you provide us matches the name as it appears on your personal id
From a popular montreal Indy: For a first rendez-vous, to ensure my safety, you will need to send me via email, without any exceptions, your full name and a verifiable phone number. Once we meet, I will be asking you for*a valid piece of identification with a picture. If the name you*sent me via email does not correspond with your identification, you will be forfeiting the full amount of the donation and I will immediately leave.
From another montreal HDL: I may need additional information from you to confirm your identity. If you are a new client I will need to undertake a security check for my safety. If you are not comfortable with revealing your true identity, then I am not the girl for you
