Talking on the phone wandering through the lobby is good b/c it does cover not knowing where the elevator is b/c you're distracted by the call. "Ooops, wrong turn, stupid call." I also carry a little briefcase. Beat up old leather thing that I actually take on business trips. No one on the lobby staff gives a care about random dude. (That said, I'm becoming less of a fan of hotel incalls.)

That link looks like it is only for sending the ad to someone else.

Well, that was weird.

So many tattoos are really just poorly done. That is the turn off for me -- sort of screams "I have poor taste." That said, there are a few providers with what I would classify as quite nice body art & those seem to be a natural part of them. It is surprising to me how attractive I find them.

tl;dr warning... So when I discovered this adventure, it was as amazing to me as when that first caveman discovered fire. But, since the, old Zog has found there is a right way and a wrong way to handle the "fire." …guess how this Zog handled it? The physical aspect of my marriage had died nearly a decade ago and I was really at my wit’s end with sexual frustration. Divorce was not an option, having an affair seemed like just a train wreck waiting to happen, so what to do?!? (internet porn wasn't cutting it,) Then, through a convoluted process this “escort” thing popped up on my radar. Oh, my goodness what a great thing! Fast forward, many months later and I feel like this has, sadly, completely run its course. Clearly, the entire community will be rocked to the core by my “retirement” <snark> But, before I ride off into “hobby” oblivion, a few thoughts/lessons/observations for the newbies, rookies, lukers and wannabes… Your Experiences WILL Vary… I found this to be the most frustrating part of this endeavor. As far as I can tell, even if you do what appears to be EVERYTHING “right,” there will be providers who are just not into you or into the session or have a dying grandmother on their mind and you’re time will be mediocre. At five, or more, dollars a minute, mediocre is below average — as they say. But, hey, maybe YOU — Mr. Link — are a clown or gross or a gross clown. Maybe? But, I have always been very courteous, I don’t send pictures of my crank, I try to be very hygienic, pretty fit, very prompt, never “negotiate,” generous in session, yet not too ‘porn-y.’ So, too vanilla, sure, too concerned with the YL having an “enjoyable” time, sure. But, one would think that the well-known and well-reviewed ladies would be enthused by this. Suprisingly, not so much. I don’t know why. I’m sure it is completely my fault… Or could it be, that by the middle of day of the middle of the week, I could be effing Daniel Craig and that would not make a difference to manty of providers. We’re all just ATMs by that point. Which leads me to the next topic… Do NOT base your expectations on the ads or the reviews… In a recent search to replace my ATF, who retired (sort of), I visited a number of ladies. I was a disappointed run... Maybe the savvy “hobbyist” knows better, but for the averag duder, expecting to have a session like what is written in ads simply validates the saying that there is a “sucker“ born every minute. So, stick evaluating & choosing by location info, rates, maybe, sort of, the photos — no, not so much — and that’s your baseline. Expecting anything else and you’re just fooling yourself. If you maintain modest expectations, then it can only go up. And, yes, there are times when the planets align and a session will be awesome, but as often it will be “Me’h, I got laid.” (The duders with the constant writing of the “Fantastic” reviews need to get out more.) If you find someone you “click” with or who becomes an “All-Time Favorite” do whatever it takes to preserve that connection… And by that, I mean, when the session is OVER, IT IS OVER. There is a frailty to that super, fantastic energy. Do NOT take it out in the ‘real world.’ That will not end well and, then, you’ll have nothing in the session nor outside of the adventure. D'oh!! This whole thing is so NOT like your mechanic or your waiter or doctor. It is full of emotions and lust and sensations of a very intense nature and it ALL should stay at the hotel or incall or where ever. No matter how sincerely you think you’re a cross between Pegasus, a unicorn and Man O’ War, you’re NOT. Bust a cap into all thoughts involving mythical beasts. Have a great session, send a thank-you email and DO NOT ‘circle back’ unless it is to schedule another appointment. Or don’t, see if I care, because — you know — you’re a fucking Unicorn! Giddyup…right?? Next, do not over think this stuff.....wait, what? Between the unbelievable levels of benign deception and the cognitive dissonances, all thinking does is reduce your enjoyment. Embrace the “fantasy” and let the ladies do their jobs. It is far, far easier both mentally, emotionally and financially than trying to replicate a real life ‘girlfriend’ situation. That sort of thing is completely unsustainable & unrealistic. Yes, the phrase “Girlfriend Experience” should be banned, buried and never spoken again. I would offer a substitute such as “Honeymoon Experience” or just stick with the “Porn Star Experience.” Trying to construct any sort of connection with an provider, beyond a “session,” is a recipe for disaster. Oh, but, yes, yes, yes, of course YOU are different and SHE is different and all the accumulated knowledge of all the clients and providers on this forum and elsewhere saying you should not do this, very clearly, does not apply to YOU and HER. (In two, three, four months, you'll wished for a poke you in the eye with a sharp stick…. or follow your “bliss” and we’ll see how that works out….) Okay, so if you made it through this rant or if it didn’t get spiked by the mods, you might think I hate all of this. Oh, no no no. I am SOOOO grateful for my experiences — both good and “me’h.” In fact, I actually never ran across a mean or rude or discourteous provider. (I saw one and 1/2 crazy-ish ones, but they were still very sweet.) In fact, where it up to me, I would become good friends with at least four ladies. (Circumstances won’t allow that.) The providers I met were just great. The sessions, in too many cases, were not, but I’m very, very certain it was my fault due to not following the suggestions I listed above. It is too late for me to roll back & disconnect parts of my brain so that other parts of my brain (and anatomy) can have a nice time. Bummer for me as I’m back to the asexual marriage and a little too much Internet porn….. But, maybe a rookie can take something from my experiences. Hopefully.

I doubt there is any list available. Probably best bet would be check through EB. If someone does, they seem to include that in their ads.

This is a tough call and why I wish the reviews were geared a little more toward the "logistics" of an appointment which might be a little more objective to rate -- communication, ease of scheduling, prompt at appointment time, condition of the in-call, (candles or not, music or radio or nothing...) and so on, along with no-shows or rip-offs. Again, some folks have different expectations, but I think the YMMV tends to be less in these areas. (These things are sometimes covered in the narrative portion of the reviews, but not consistently.) But, I might be the only weirdo gives a crap about whether there were candles at the in-call...

I think, as with so, so many things in this endeavor, how verbal one should be with a YL is a case-by-case thing. I'm sure there is a happy medium between a grunt and a case of the TL;DR (too long; didn't read) that would be appropriate for a wide range of ladies. Not exactly sure what that is, though. There is a fair amount of "secrecy" within all this, but I wouldn't be against sharing some general personality, preferences information. My default is not to offer that in an email. But, if a provider were to ask "tell me a little about..." that would be fine. That has never happened, though.

Disclaimer 1: this is really something I've wondered about, not trying to troll or set up a "Oh, not this shit again" thread. Disclaimer 2: I searched for a similar thread, going back about a year or so, but nothing showed. (however, search on the board is sketchy at best...so.) There was a thread regarding what makes a "good" ad, but I think I'm going in a different direction. All that said, I don't know if this something providers will be keen on answering or maybe so? Question: Does the 'tone' of your ad reflect the kind of client you'd like to see, or does it seek cast the widest net or is it a statement of your personality/preferences? I tend to be drawn toward the low key, more subtle ads -- not all -- and am a little, um, intimidated -- yet compelled -- by some of the more 'aggressive' ones (i.e. explicit descriptions and such.) I don't know if any answers will affect my preference, but I'm just curious. -L (IMHO: the genre of "My skills will amaze you, my eyes will daze you..." are a complete fail...)

No, not for any reason: Civil Rights Act of 1964 Chooooo-choooooo!!!

I expect that the principal reason folks will give for a provider not having the right to choose will center around the tired likening of your job to that of a mechanic, doctor or any other work that involves "services rendered." "My barber can't say 'no red haired men,' so why should Penelope Provider?" The so many more differences between the two jobs than there are similarities -- or waiting tables or even being a masseuse -- that this comparison is completely useless. (Not trying to hijack you question.)

A question that this brings up, because I'm sadly a bit less informed about this than I should be, does the DATY have to lead to an orgasm or is it satisfying in and of itself. I assume the latter, but realize this might be a product of individual preference of the woman. Earlier threads have thoroughly examined that "O" is often not going to happen for a provider ...yadda yadda yadda. But, is there a happy medium?

That is usually the case. You just "recharge" the prepaid phone's minutes by entering a code that represents the new minutes or such. (Different phone companies have different processes.) I would advise against using your personal phone number (with connections to your non-Taylor life) for work. Google Voice, as mentioned, is a possibility. Also, there is an iPhone app called Burner that is interesting.

maybe that should have been Olympic-caliber athlete? Athletic builds at the very least….

Here is the potential range for just "athletic." Each of these women is an Olympic athlete:

If an ad is well organized and complete, then it is fine whether 20 words or 200. There is an art to making a point with as little verbiage as needed and I find that attractive.

Nina Nichols comes to mind. Dakota (she's on P411) is very, very fit. (Both are very nice women, too.)

"As a rule, (providers) can’t stand it when clients keep harping on the “I want to please you” thing, because it can make it a lot harder for us to do our jobs. What if she’s a size queen and he’s average? What if she likes being pounded very hard and he’s too overweight or short-winded to accomplish that? What if she’s kind of submissive and a man refusing to lead is actually a turn-off? What if she’s primarily lesbian? What if she’s just anorgasmic and isn’t going to climax no matter what he does?"

The reasons folks are engaging you in this are varied and trying to address each motivation would be an even greater waste of time. Going forward, I think the best way to address this is having, as other ladies, do a fairly clear explanation in your ads and such of how you want to communicate -- email might be more manageable -- and stick to that. Once you open that door of social txt'ing, it is tough to shut without alienating some people, as you said concerns you. To that end with the folks who hit you with, albeit nice, messages too often, you probably just need to gently ween them from it with less engagement, longer reply times and the plain old "Hey, nice to hear from you, but I can't text much any more. Sorry!" That whole "send me bewb pix" crowd just gets a 'delete,' I would say. Some clients will get it, some won't. Not much you can do. The over-txt'ing group probably fails to realize you're not dealing with just them & their one or two messages. Good luck.

Yep.

Not sad: stupid or foolish or something in that neighborhood. Do you think it should make me feel sad, instead? If so, why? (I'm honestly interested in that interpretation.) Again, not sad. I'm not completely following the second half of your sentence. ...and little insulting or subjective matter. And now for the TL/DR part of our program.... I don't think there is any argument that generally a client makes a provider happy 1) with the donation; 2) by being clean, respectful, courteous; 3) by expressing and acknowledging that the provider is providing enjoyment/happiness and that the session has left the a client in a better place. (I'm adding #3 because it does come up often as a reason some woman do this job -- satisfaction from making people happy.) So, for the majority of providers I would guess, there are several other things that on that list -- "meeting new people" is one I've heard, "being one's own boss," "flexibility in work schedule" -- that come well before "client providing physical pleasure to provider." I'm not saying a provider doesn't enjoy the physical aspect, but I think it moves around the list depending on many circumstances, as Pfunk alluded. The reason this is a challenge for myself and why it made me feel stupid, is that even when meeting criteria 1, 2 & 3 and other provider recommendations, it feels selfish and self-centered not to reciprocate in a way that is very important to me -- physically. But, which incorrectly assumes is important to her. And, doing so makes it worse, as Grit said, and shows an ignorance of a provider's job. I wouldn't run out and change the spark plugs of my mechanics car after she fixed my steering column* or try to wash my barber's hair or take the doctor's temperature after a visit. Doing that is missing the point of their work. My mechanic likes cars, fixing them and making a living doing so. And, hopefully, she derives a bit of satisfaction that I can now get to work because she fixed my car. My expressing thanks and showing her my happiness at having my car back is a nice perk. Changing her spark plugs, maybe not? This not a true one-to-one comparison given the emotions and intimacy involved in a client/provider meeting, but I think close. There probably isn't anything wrong with trying to make the experience physically enjoyable for her. Clear feedback from the provider, though, probably would go a long way toward the proper direction of activities. I think I have been guilty of trying to please to a degree that makes me now think was counterproductive. That's why the original quote had the effect it did. *yeah, I think I'm much funnier than I am.

I would be a terrible, terrible one. Primarily because if I saw naked me* wandering toward me, it would be over -- badly. In all seriousness, Megan's question touches on an area of this whole escort/client endeavor that I've had a really, really tough time grasping. *or a female version since I wouldn't chose to be a same-sex escort. While this part may come off as me being a condescending a-hole or just a plain a-hole, it isn't my intention. I'm grateful for escorts who've spent time with me, but I also wonder how the hell they can spend time with me -- where "me" means clients. My guess is that the majority of us clients are not underwear models with Olympic swimmers' physiques and George Clooney-like looks. (If I'm the only one who is not, apologies to the very above average population of clients.) So, Megan's question in relation to my understanding a provider's perspective has me thinking about the locker room at the rec center and at the general "client" demographic. I shudder when thinking that is the client base and maybe not as physically fit. If I had to deal with us in such a intimate way -- even with the compensation involved, my career as a 'whore' (Megan's word) would be very short lived. It wasn't until I stumbled across a very long discussion on this blog The Honest Courtesan that it finally started to make better sense. Superficially, I think I understood that the physicality of the job of an escort doesn't hold as much importance -- very generally -- as it does to an average guy. (Again, painting with broad, general strokes.) My biggest takeaway was the painfully obvious point that women's (see aforementioned caveat) approach intimacy, sexuality and such differently than men. Providers may be even more different. The idea being that just like bodies, women's sensibilities about sex are different from a man as their bodies are not just a different-sized versions of a man.

Here's a thread where a few providers chimed in on the older vs younger client preference: http://www.theotherboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36073&highlight=love+older+guys&page=2
