I'm generally reluctant to do OTC meetups, due to focus on what could go wrong...Setup for robbery, carjacking, etc.
Plenty of guys seems to do it without negative consequences, though.
I suppose you can take all precautions in the world, and still encounter issues, or be reckless and encounter no issues. Other than viewing OF sites in a bubble-wrapped home, or overpaying for ITC, there's no way to avoid risks entirely.
I already know to not take a girl to my home or a location of her choosing, and to be a bit unclear on meetup spot (which is admittedly of concern to a provider).
Do you guys jump right to OTC after the initial meeting, or have a protocol/timescale of when to proceed to OTC? It seems that other than scammers who will bail on you if you don't immediately agree to an OTC setup, there isn't really a good vetting method. A girl could seem safe after a few ITC meetups, and then KABOOM...you're pistol-whipped in a meeting spot.
I suppose it's a case of YMMV and using your spidey sense to determine if/when to jump to OTC...after putting on your big boy pants.


If you don't feel comfortable don't do it. It won't be enjoyable if you're worried.
