Great thread, and, perhaps, links to some illustrative ads and showcases might illuminate our thoughts?
And, although Dallas has a different perspective regarding "Fight Club" the fact of the matter is that socializing is a great equalizer to open advertising, especially for UTR ladies and UTR gents (all well vouched, of course.
Those of us (both males and females) who understand the hows and whys of researching certainly appreciate having as much info at hand as possible.
So, for a dude who appreciates gingers, for example, the showcases, the ads, the reviews, the posts, all yield some foundational data for TDLs.
While I don't review as often as in some of the past decades, my hobbying activity has remained roughly level with past years, just a bit more selective in primary choices and in secondary repeats.
As some here may have heard me state in the past, my main concentration on choosing wisely are
-- chemistry
-- communication
-- companionship
-- comfort level (not just personal, but also environmental and "management")
-- copulation
Intelligent conversation counts way more than physical beauty, services and rates.
almost always in the above order of precedence.

Though I am partial to a certain body type, personality is the most interesting aspect to explore .it is hard to get that from ads or photos, imho.If I sense a fake , acted, behavior my interest fades fast, but it is too late. This is why I rely mostly on others private info about this stuff and not on ads or pics, and on a few reviews... I am not sure how can this be captured into a profile/showcase.
