No.....you want something that won't break the piggy with all those attributes, you gotta go ugly!

That's not true! I keep my rates at 200 because I enjoy repeat clientele, I do not like overnights, dinner-dates, or travel with clients. I prefer to have dinner or travel with someone because I want to, not because I have to.

I have a nice incall, fairly intelligent, well traveled, positive outlook on the hobby/life, and I'm not THAT ugly, LOL.

The brass ring. (For the old timers.)

Book multiple hours with better providers. You'll be much less forgettable if you have enough time to get to know the person you are seeing before dropping your pants. Don't rely on reviews too much. Get p411 and use your profile to help weed out providers who aren't looking for you as a client. It's not foolproof, but for example, I would not see a provider unless I was her only appointment that day and I stated that explicitly in my profile along with a number of other expectations.

Be willing to pay to have your expectations met. Three good hours with one first rate provider is much better (and less expensive) than one bad hour with each of three different providers who don't want to see you. Make sure you are polite when you contact someone. That alone will make you memorable. Don't see providers who do not return your call/pm/email/whatever in a timely fashion.

THEN RAISE YOUR RATES

It's called incremental pruning.

I'll take the blame but there really should be none. He who hesitates, loses out. And will continue to until you hit your maximum pricey point.

I would say they are out there; but the lower the budget, the more shopping you need to do. Not that all the higher priced girls are perfect, you always need to do your research.

First, in dallas, if you can't find an ATF, she may not yet be born.

In addition to reviews, you might focus on some ladies that post, it helps you get a sense of the personality.

Send some PM's to reviewers or post private if you want to ask some followup question about the reviewer's experiences. I know I get some of these and don't mind helping out, because others have helped me.

Someone suggested a little longer session. I agree with that as it helps take away some of the pressure to "get it going". Sure, sometimes it may not work and its more pricey, but well worth it IMHO.

Just do the homework and have some fun. This is supposed to be fun, why sweat it out and don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I like my rates, thank you. Most of my sessions are multi-hour AND I only see the clients I like.

LOL Therein lies conundrum. No damn matter how much money you have that search for the perfect intersection is translucent.

Gotta go watch the Republican Gubernatorial Debates online... I missed them a few hours ago

Barney, Fred, good luck out there.

I guess the "come and get it while its hot" business plan is much more profitable.

I think the best thing about a board like this is that between the reviews and ladies comments you can get a good idea over time as to how they perceive men and the hobby. Get some dialog going and I'm sure you will find a mutual fit.

Also, don't be afraid of spending a few bucks extra. Think of all the wasted money you could spend on drinks and dinner on all the real gold diggers out there!

I find talk about Barney Frank, Freddie and Fannie and Tuesdays Mass Senator election very hot....

Barney, lots of good advice here, just relax and have some fun with it, including the research. Hell, even on the research part you get to stare at goregeous chicks on line for free!

I read some reviews on each and all were positive. If I were writing a review on them, mine would be positive also since they didn't rip me off or lie to me. Primary negative might have been the businesslike nature of their attitudes.

I wish I was in Dallas. The city in which I dwell seems to have lots of ladies who offer a lower fee than Dallas--which isn't necessarily a good thing to me--and also lots of half hours and even some 15 minuters, which is definitely not a good sign to someone like me who wants the session to feel more like a clandestine rendezvous than a truck stop quickie.

I'll dip my toe into the water again at some point, and I will try some of the approaches that have been recommended here. But I sincerely appreciate all the feedback all of you have offered.
