If you won't see anyone without a reference, how is that person supposed to get a reference. Let some other bitch deal with a non referenced client... classy.
Also agencies don't require referals. Most indies don't seem to require refereals. I figure why plead, grovel and beg an escort to see me when I can see someone who won't make me jump hoops like some show dog so easily. Canada for the win.
Also I've seen 7 girls, one of them twice. None of them required a references [although I did book one via Merb PM, but it wasn't required]. The girl I saw twice. A had a 2 hour session, about 2 months later I saw her again and she had absolutely no recollection of me. So good luck on that. [Oddly strippers seem to remember me much better, I don't get it]
Also how exactly are you supposed to get that reference.
Kate: Hello Riki, did you see Bob two months ago
Riki: How am I supposed to know, I see lots of people of many names, can you describe him?
Kate: Well I haven't seen him yet so I don't know his phone number is 416 555 5555
Riki: And I save phone numbers why? Not very descrete you know.
Or you could rely on terb accounts and posting history because we all know a real life Paul Bernardo would never ever set up an account and a posting history to do evil because that would be fraudulent and wrong. Never mind that posting history and real life behavior are not the same thing regardless of how deluded you might be on the subject.
Even better, give them your work phone number, because I can't see how that could go badly.
Also I find it unbearably cunty to in effect ask a girl to help me see her competition. Hey Riki, you are fantastic but I want to see Kate, can you hook a bro up.
Yeah... no.
Also it not only filters out occational hobbiests who won't be remembered but as alluded to above how are new people supposed to enter unless you are happy putting the burden of the risk on others.
