What Do Providers Look For In A Hobbyist?

You. Me. HoloDeck. NOW. Originally Posted by Glynette

Well said, PleasantSurprise. Gents who mentioned money only - that may be the case for most, but it is at the very bottom of the list for me. I'm sure everyone is really curious what I'm looking for in a client.

Number one - must be able / willing to have an intelligent conversation. This is how I find out if we have anything in common; commonalities point to compatibility. It means the difference between WFFF vs NMTF. I will always prefer WFFF clients. If you can make me laugh, you're golden. My favorite bedroom antics have always been with men who were able to make me legitimately lol. It really doesn't matter what you look like or what your build is, so long as you have a great personality. If you're able to talk geeky with me, that is platinum. Knowing who David Tennant, Matt Smith, or Joss Whedon are and why they might be important will actually make my panties catch on fire.

Number two - age is a factor. I prefer my age (33) - twenty years older (53). I will see people outside of that range given other factors, I'm simply most attracted to that age range. Younger, and I feel creepy; much older, and I feel icky. Although that depends on the older man - how he keeps in shape, how vibrant and youthful his spirit is. This age range, in general, is filled with men who I share common interests and experiences with, which goes back to number one.
To put this rationale into perspective: my ATF client is twenty years older, great personality, attractive, very talented BCD; my ATF human being is my age, and I swear my brain was split in half at some point, and half was put in their skull. Every time I see them, conversation is on point, and the laughter is in mass quantities. I attribute this to growing up at the same time, leading to massive similarities.
My sexual attraction sweet spot seems to be for men in their forties. I don't know why; it was that way when I was twenty, and it's that way now. Watch, when I'm fifty, I'll be going Mama Cougar on every 40-something in the surrounding area.

Number three - how they treat me. This begins from first contact... Do they provide me with all requested info without argument, complaint, or falsehood? Do they take the time to introduce themselves, respecting my time and schedule, or do they send their request in a short burst of text-ese with no regard for my desire to not hobby past pumpkin time? (Example: "R u available?" - sent past midnight, no name or identifying info; not that it matters, messages like that go straight in the trash bin. ) Are they understanding of the fact that I have a life and career outside of this, and may not be able to answer right away? Are they willing to schedule in advance rather than expecting a last minute appointment?
I read profiles, and choose those with a clear preference for DFK. I love to kiss; it's the number one thing I'm missing IRL, and the number one reason I'm here. If a client doesn't greet me with a kiss, I suspect I'm going to have a shitty time; if their kisses never go past teeth, I KNOW I'm going to have a shitty time. I can count the number of times that's happened on one hand with fingers left over, but the fact I'm using any fingers at all makes me want to use one in particular. I don't care how much money gets tossed down on the counter - if you can't give me a BFE, do us both a favor and GTFO. I'm not here for the cash, I'm here for the sheet-soaking thrill of illicit lust... If you can't surrender to the moment with me and kiss me with passion, those sheets are not going to get soaked, and that makes me a sad panda.

Number four - attraction / attractiveness. This is ruled by number one. Physical attraction - I like a man who takes care of himself - not necessarily to the point where they're sporting a six pack, but cleanliness inside and out are wonderful traits. I abhor smoking; I'm allergic to it, and the stench and taste it leaves behind is repulsive. Imagine if I ate corpses and rolled around in dog shit right before you came over. It's no fun.
Facial hair - I LOVE it. Something about a well trimmed beard or goatee just makes me want to rub my tits all over it. Stand alone mustaches, however, remind me of gay pornstars or my grandfather - neither of which I find sexy. I would rather you be clean-shaven than mustachioed.
I like chest hair, and will snicker in my head if it looks like you shaved your body for any reason other than competitive swimming. Back hair is no one's favorite. Pubes are much nicer trimmed.
Brushed teeth are awesome, but making use of my mouthwash is better than nothing - especially if you just had onions for lunch. Or skoal, or boiled ass.
Hair - curly, straight, long, short, bald... I don't care. Keep it clean and un-dyed. Silver foxes make me wet.

I'm sure there are other factors, of course, but that's what hits my mind at the moment.
TL;DR - conversation, cleanliness, respect, age are all more important than money to me. Originally Posted by theCFE

I'm sorry but you know who the baddest muthafucka was....

I look for human qualities, I don't see jaded mechanical robots

Glynette, Gonna have to go with Dorian on this one. My captain s rank. Sisko, voyager lady, kirk from enterprise, kirk and then Piccard sorry he was lame, not to mention that his goon(wharf) always got ass handed to him.

Just don't tell me that ghost in the shell isn't all the best for anime and we are good

In an argument of the Q continuum, it was a necessary plot device in TNG. Sisko only had to deal with it purely out of fan service, so I stand by my original rebuttal. And yes, Worf's a bitch, but he's no Wesley Crusher! And Hell Girl, Inuyasha, Samurai X... wow I should stop the list is longer than I thought, are better contenders for best anime of all time. We can take that into another thread. Meanwhile... Back on the topic, I have to agree with the quality that ZS brought up. The mood can be undermined if you walk in the door jaded and expecting to be cheated, rip off, bait and switched, etc.

Inuyasha? Not that it's bad, mind you, but that's like saying Sailor Moon is the best series ever. Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, even Naruto Shippuden win my votes for American aired series. Slayers is hilarious. I can't believe you didn't mention classics like Akira, Ninja Scroll, or Vampire Hunter D. And yes, Ghost In The Shell is teh awesome.

I like Inuyasha, but it does really drag on. Sesshoumaru is one of the coolest looking character designs though, imo.

I'm a pretty big fan of FMA (both the original and Brotherhood as well).

I do like Ghost in the Shell as well. SAC and SSS are both very good!

Also, to keep this thread somewhat on track - we all know which Captain providers would love to see...

And don't diss the Sailormoon, I would've never been exposed to anime and the last season was unaired state side due to full on nudity, implied lesbian traits, etc. Chock full of win. And I did mention that the list was too long to list, and are we extending it to movies and not just series? And do they have to be aired here in America?

Out of all the Captains in the Star Trek Universe, Picard's the only one I let hit it.

The fact that you called it Samurai X instead of Rurouni Kenshi tells me all I need to know.

I never said Picard was a bad Capt. No.2 cause ya know "Shaka when the walls fell down."

Yeah, as cool looking as Sesshoumaru is, that's just way too much to possibly dress up as. Inuyasha is much easier - just buy a wig, some ears, red Hammer pants, big ass sword, and you're done.

Liliana's trying to make us dress up as something for GenCon this year, hah.

The series was good up through the Shishio storyarc. Then he goes to battle the evil Christians and the Anime series kinda goes downhill from there.

The movies & OVAs are also depressing as hell (but good).
