Top choice for picking a new provider:

I thought price would win so seeing the biggest percentage was something else was a surprise.

i look at a combination of both....price and looks. i often will overlook a few coins if the body is right (my taste) and the service is proven. otherwise...im price driven and looks second. i have to stay within my budge to maximize my play dollars.

I start with "looks/body type" . then check price, then check services offered in that order.

I appreciate a lady who is willing to communicate with me via whatever medium for some conversaton prior to ever making the first meeting to see if we will be compatible in regards to personalities, common likes in the bedroom olympics arena, and just overall person to person respect for each other! Many times it seems like it is all about the money. Well that may be part of it as the lady is here to make a living, but I personaly need and want a personal connection, my time and money are both scarce resources and I would expect my prospective play partners are also, thus we both should feel happy we spent both!

It should be a good combination of everything.

The problem is.......how can you tell all of this from Bambi's backpage ad?

I had one chica who wanted to be whatever I wanted her to be.....like she was sent over from central casting...

NO, I WANT YOU TO BE YOU....not what you think I want you to be....BE YOURSELF.

It's disappointing that only superficial things are listed in the poll. Any session that I scheduled based solely on eye candy has ended in at least mild disappointment. In my few months in the hobby, I have learned that I don't do this just to get pussy, I want to actually interact with another human, and the importance of reading reviews and getting to know the lady (through phone conversations, IMs, PMs, emails, etc.) before seeing her cannot be stressed enough. There is actually one hobby girl who I don't find attractive at all but will always go back to because she is just so fun to be around.

Why wasn't "Breathing and willing to see me anyway" an option.

None of the above!

I want a lady with whom I can relate. Ideally, she is a supermodel with a PhD in a hard science who grew up on a farm and isn't pretentious, and has an acute case of nymphomania anytime I am near. Major bonus if she can talk philosophy, has artistic skills and has breadth to go with her depth along with being willing to pay me for the session.

But sometimes we have to settle for something short of the ideal.

In that case I prioritize brains and personality -- which aren't even listed as an option.

I don't have that many sessions, so price isn't a huge consideration within reason. And there are some seriously sharp providers out there who are also plenty beautiful; so that is taken care of.

And if a woman is smart and has a great personality -- I will love her menu because whatever she does, she will do danged well! Originally Posted by Laurentius

Good responses from all of the above gentlemen.It is SOOO nice to know that looks aren't the only thing you men are looking for in a lady!! Kinda goes against what modern day television is brainwashing the young teenage ladies of America to believe. ( Looks are all that is important)Quite refreshing is exactly my thoughts too London. See, maybe the hobby isn't necessarily filled with the "horrible perverts" society claims it is. Just a thought, I have often wondered what percentage of clients (however small it may be) is really just looking to be with someone they can relate too, a companion if you will? Help me out here men.

Thanks babe

I look for the following documented traits that are completely missing in the poll:

• Professionalism
• Intelligence
• Experience
• Maturity
• A good attitude
• A good reputation among experienced hobbyists
• A documented history of professional performance among experienced hobbyists
  

In my opinion, there are far too many pretenders, "wannabes" and those who haven't earned the title and right to be calling themselves and advertising themselves as an escort.

For these reasons, it is a very rare occasion for me to contact a lady who hasn't been personally referred to me by an experienced hobbyist or provider that I know and trust.

Most ladies aren't selling brains and personality. If they did, a lot would starve to death. And besides, how deep can you drink of each other's brains and personality in an hour?

Most ladies know that the guy is paying to get laid. And they enter the session with that in mind. It's not only the gents that have a slam, bam, thank-you-ma'am attitude--the ladies do, too.

Of the ladies I've met, a remarkable number have extremely poor grammar when we meet in person, even if it doesn't show in the ads. They may say they are well educated, but they don't show that either.

So, although this may be L's thrust, he may be somewhat unique among hobbiests in that his end goal is not BCD. I can tell you quite frankly I would not pay a provider's rates just for brains and personality. That's not what she's selling, and clearly not what hobbiests are purchasing.
